New Xbox 360 Hypervisor exploit (software based)

[PopperTop]

New update to stage 3 - https://github.com/grimdoomer/Xbox360BadUpdate/pull/24

I tried it and 5 times in a row it has work in under 4 mins, great progress.

After thoroughly testing this new stage3 .bin on my Trinity, it is totally the real deal, out of 50 attempts at running Rock Band BadUpdate - I had 11 failures, with an average success time from pressing A to cpu key screen - 1m 14secs.

Incredible improvement. Props to the developer.

Wow amazing! This works like a charm. I've tried four times in a row and everytime it worked in under five minutes.

Amazing work and congratulations to everyone involved in this!

For some reason, Github's throwing a 500 error. Can you upload the file here on GBATemp?

I think they pulled the page as people were posting non-technical messages to it.

It doesn't really "install" but yes, it works (as of "today") on any fully-updated model - and who knows, by buying a 360 completely blindly you have a good chance of ending up with one you can later mod "more properly", not like I don't advocate doing some research first

1. 5 secs

3. lasted for more than7 minutes so I restarted the console.

I vaguely remember someone saying to not expect such an update anytime soon. While not 100%, this is still huge. Good stuff.

I always said that everybody should expect it, back some pages here in this same thread, and you will see it

10 seconds, my fucking record now loading the exploit is 10 SECONDS!!

Original dev said not to expect much improvement, so what did you expect people to say other than "don't expect much improvement" when people asked, when that's what the original dev said.

People were just giving up to date info based on what was known, instead of blind hope of "trust me bro" someone will make it better.

to have faith or to not have faith, there's a difference.

Faith is irrelevant. The developer didn't tell the truth....

It is software, so it was very clear that will be better with the revisions. That is with faith and without it. If you don't have both, you have a problem

How not to get banned from XBL on Badupdate + Xeunshackle ?



Am I getting it correctly?

1. Use an offline account.
2. Disabling the internet(Wifi+Ethernet) before running the badupdate exploit+Xeunshackle is a MUST, there is no way around it!!
3. After the badupdate exploit succeeds and its xeunshackle payload runs, it is safe to re-connect to the internet provided you use an offline account and never connect to xbox live while the console is in the softmod state. (liveblock and livestrong are both set to true in launch.ini).
4. If I exploit my 360 console and play some games for some hours and then restart the console the console wont be in the softmoded state anymore. If I play a games in the retail/stock state, will I get banned ?

I think that's faster than even my RGH unit....

probably, but the most interesting is that I had success in all the loadings.
In my opinion the Stage2 is now the one to try to accelerate, because, some times it take more time, and others, happen in seconds... Stage2 <--

 

[Blythe93]

I've tested the latest BadUpdate three times and it's pretty impressive: 1. 10 seconds only!, 2. 6 minutes and 32 seconds, 3. 1 minute and 4 seconds. Pretty damn impressive compared to the previous times.

Indeed. That one's the one taking most of the time now.

Will update the 360 hack pack later today. This is great news. Basically completed all of Fallout 3 on it and that game is known to crash/bug out and reapplying the exploit previously has been a hassle on my Winchester. Thanks for everyone’s feedback on this update!
