Xbox One "Bliss Hack" Open-Source Modchip in Development by GFL_Tech

RainReach · 2026-06-10T21:48:05+00:00

Hey everyone, As many of you saw at the RE//verse conference, researcher Markus "doom" Gaasedelen blew the Xbox One’s security wide open with the "Bliss" exploit—a hardware-level Voltage Glitch Hack (VGH) targeting the secure boot ROM. Because this attack exploits physical silicon behavior during early boot, it is completely unpatchable. While Mark proved the concept, we haven't had a consumer-ready "modchip" to automate this process for regular users. However, hardware developer GFL_Tech has officially stepped up to change that. They have launched an open-source hardware project to design, build, and code a functional physical modchip for the Bliss Hack. I wanted to put together a tracking thread here on GBATemp to log their engineering progress, layout the roadmap, and get more eyes from the HW hacking scene on this project. The Hardware and How It Works Unlike the original Xbox ModXO project, which uses a cheap Raspberry Pi RP2040 to mimic a flash chip, glitching the Xbox One requires insane, sub-nanosecond timing precision. The GFL_Tech modchip is currently leveraging a hybrid approach to tackle the security processor: Signal Processing: Utilizing a TLV3201 high-speed comparator circuit to clean up and track the motherboard's hardware states. Sidechannel Isolation: Designing a custom Quick Solder Board (QSB) to hook directly into the EFUSE lines, tuning resistor values to kill signal noise. The Glitch Trigger: The end goal is using a microcontroller/CPLD setup to automatically sweep timing profiles against the EMMC DAT0 lines to intercept execution flow and drop the voltage rail at the exact microsecond required. The Project Roadmap and Current Status GFL_Tech is treating this as a transparent, step-by-step engineering journey. Here is where the project currently sits: Phase 1: Sourcing and teardown of a 2013 "Day One" Xbox One retail testbed. (Completed) Phase 2: Successful testing of the TLV3201 comparator circuit. (Completed) Phase 3: Finalizing the EFUSE QSB layout and stabilizing pull-up/pull-down noise. (In Progress) Phase 4: Coding the automated glitch-sweep logic for the MCU. (Planned) Phase 5: Real-time timing sweeps against the EMMC lines to hijack execution flow. (Planned) Phase 6: Public V1 Release featuring open-source PCB schematics, code, and installation guides for the community to test and refine. (Planned) Where to Follow and Contribute If you want to look at the hardware schematics, trace their engineering steps, or contribute to the codebase, everything is being kept open: GitHub Source: https://github.com/GFLTech/Xbox-One-Bliss-Hack-GFL_Tech-Modchip- to check out the wiki and hardware roadmaps. Video Devlogs: They are documenting the actual hardware breakdowns, scope readouts, and circuit testing on YouTube under the handle @GFL_Tech. Videos

so this is a long shot...
i recently got a surface go 4gb with a new provider contract, wich is nice.
streaming works 100% with my official xbox one gamepad, nice quality connection, big thumbs up for that!
but its not as portabel as i would like it to be... and ive been at it for a few days now trying to get my ipega 9023 retractable controller to work with the surface go for xbox one streaming.
i keep getting the error that there is no controller detected on the streaming app.
i have x360ce installed on the surface and inputmapper with the vjoy drivers, and i still can't get it detected.
on x360ce the controller will only react as the 3rd controller and the buttons are auto configured and react to the button presses on the right positions.
i'm fairly dislectic and as you ca, read here english is not my native language, so its a little harder for me.
google does not provide me any usefull help as ( i am aware) i have a pretty isolated case, not alot of people have the same setrup and the vids i find are of people runnig succesfull, but no guide.
is there someone that could help me a hand on this ?
edit : 360 controller drivers are installed and plugging in a 360 controller with wireless receiver works fine

thank you in advance...
