As long as you keep the 360 below dash 15572 and above then it'll remain RGHable.

Or you should grab your CPU key and NAND backup.
This will allow you to RGH it at any dashboard since you've got the CPU key.

If I get my Zephyr to glitch then I'll put it up for sale.
Any interest? ;p
I might take it. Would you trade it for a Jasper??
Banned or non banned?
Dash version?

You've raised my attention!

Oh Zephyr gets an fan installed on the 2nd GPU heatsink to keep it extra cool.
I'll get rid of the metal fanmesh in the back and I will install a fan grille on a hole above the cooler.
Unbanned, latest dash and the DVD drive is kinda fucked up (wont eject).

Ouch..

DVD drive belt maybe busted up?
It's usually an easy fix if they won't eject properly
Bit of sewing machine oil and it's usually good to go


I kinda was hoping on it to be on a lower dash ;p
Was planning on putting whatever I got for the Zephyr towards the fuelmoney for my trip to Italy.

The belt seems fine, I think the band is messed up.

Hmm If I can't sell it within a certain amount of time or if people will bid low on it and if you're still interested, we'll trade c;

After thanking him personally I also want to thank DinohScene publicly for his service.

I had no problems whatsoever.

Superb communications.
Delivers what he promises + some extra.

I'm very very happy.
I recommend everyone wanting to hack his/her xbox 360 to use this service.

:bow: DinohScene thanks again!!!!!!:bow:

All right. Just wanted to leave a message of appreciation regarding this amazing service DinohScene offers.

He is incredibly quick and devoted to quality.

I sent in my Xbox, only to have him RGH it.
Got it back in a couple of days and he even reflashed the DVD drive to the latest firmware!

It did, however, come back with a small issue, which wasn't his fault. For some reason the Xbox would shut off or reboot after a while.
DinohScene told me I could send the Xbox back so he could take a look at it, which he did.

He sent it back in a day or 2 and everything is working fine for over a month now!

What it boils down to is; Quick service, high quality service, great communication and low prices.
You just can't beat that!

Again, thank you DinohScene!

So since Devin appears to no longer do this service, is there anyone else in the US doing this? I'm still willing to send my drive to Europe but obviously it would be preferable to send it to someone in the US because of shipping costs.

I truly have a deep respect to anyone who performs this service--regardless of their continent of residence :)

If it's a phatty I could do it. I personally did my own not long ago no problems with it yet. If it's a slim I can't help you as it requires some soldering. I must warn you the only experience I have is my own personal 360 and that's it. If you would like I would be more then happy to do it. You just have to pay shipping to and from my residence. I need the experience and feedback too.

Best is to update the box entirely if you want to flash it. (assuming it's below 13599)
Just hook it up to Live and let it update.
That way you wont run into any problems (also easier for Crimson, as he won't have to deal with sending it back due to you having an older firmware on the drive)

Edit:
JTAG is highly unlikely.
Unless you haven't used it since Summer '09.

Actually Dinoh I had a quick question for you too. Can't my Jasper power brick work with any Phatty or does he need to ship the power brick as well?

150w PSU is to weak to power a Falcon board.
Let alone a Zephyr/Xenon.

If his 360 is older then 2008, he has to send his powerbrick along with it.
That's why it's far better to invest into a connectivity kit, if you plan on doing any flashing for members here.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
