This roadmap is a collaboration between @DinohScene and @brickmii82 It's still a WIP.
Guide is pretty much up to date as of 26-05-'19.


So you want to hack your 360.
Have no idea where to start?

This thread should give you a general idea on what you can do with your 360.


Lets get started.
First of all you'll need to determine the age of your console.
This will give you a general idea of what hack you can apply.

On the back of the 360 there is a sticker near the AV port (Phat*&Slim*)
On that you'll find the MFR date as well as the Console Serial and Product ID.

Determining the age of the 360




gallery_285041_202_136301.jpg






You'll need to write down your MFR date.
This will roughly tell you what board you have in your 360.

Xenon: 2005 - 2007 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (14699 only) & R-JTAGged.
Zephyr: 2007 - 2008 203w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd (Hard to achieve) & R-JTAGged.
Opus: Only from RRoD Repairs from MS (rare revisions) 203/175w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged.
Falcon: 2007 - 2009 175w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged.
Jasper: 2008 - 2010 150w power supply, can be JTAGged and RGH'd & R-JTAGged .
Trinity: 2010 - 2011 135w power supply, can be RGH'd
Corona: 2011 - on going 115w power supply, can be RGH'd

Currently there are 6 versions of the Corona.
The following guide will tell you what type of Corona you have (you will need to disassemble your 360 for this)
If you have a Redesigned Slim then you have a Corona v5 (250GB) or v6 (4GB)

Corona: 2013 - on going 115w power supply, can be RGH'd.
Next up, Determining your Kernel + Dashboard.

Dashboard 1888 is the first dashboard ever released, it's very unlikely you'll have this dash installed (unless you have a launchday console still in it's plastic wrapper)
Dashboard 2241 was directly available on the 360's launchday so as soon as you've connected it to XBLive you would have received an update notice.
Dashboard 4532 and 4548 are vulnerable to the KingKong Exploit, chances of you having a 360 with such a low dashboard are astronomically low.
Dashboard 7371 and lower are vulnerable to the JTAG hack, if you wish to JTAG it then DO NOT UPDATE IT!
Dashboard 14699 and lower are vulnerable to the RGH* hack
Dashboard 14717, 14719 are vulnerable to the RGH2, this method uses the Slim style hack.
Dashboard 15572 and above are hackable with the newly released ECC files.
They use the same method as the RGH2 or the R-JTAG chip (for Phatties)
The CR4 XL is the preffered chip for these dashboards.
I STILL ADVISE YOU TO NOT UPDATE TO ANY DASH AFTER 14717 IF YOU WANT TO GLITCH YOUR 360, it's cheaper and RGH1 (for dashes below 14717) has far better boot times.


And finally, Visually determining your DVD drive.

gallery_285041_202_32715.jpg

After the visual inspection you'll roughly know what you're up against.
Xenon/Zephyr boards usually have a Sammy/Hitachi
Some have a Benq (mine did)
Falcons usually have either a Benq or Liteon.
Jaspers pretty much only have a Liteon in it.
Slims are mostly Liteon ones, Hitachi drives are pretty rare.
Early slims have a Liteon for sure, late slims can have both (Liteon 1214,1532 are both quite rare as of the time of writing)

Hitachi FW*: 32, 36, 40, 46, 47, 58, 59. 78 and 79
Samsung FW: MS24, MS25
BenQ FW: 62430C, 64930C
Liteon FW: 74850C, 83850Cv1, 83850Cv2, 93450C
Liteon FW: 9504/0272, 0225, 0401, 1071, 1175, 1214 and 1532 (1532 are always in the redesigned Slim)
Hitachi FW: 0500, 0502


DVD flashing.





gallery_285041_202_83786.jpg






This type of hack is most conventional for most people.
In short:
You flash your DVD drive with a custom firmware.
This will allow you to play back upped games from a DVD.

Currently all Phat 360's are hackable.
Most of the older ones can be dumped without a PMT (Probe 3)
Liteons need a Probe 3 to retrieve the DVD key from.
Slim 360's are hackable but require either a replacement PCB (expensive), a small hardware hack or a risky hack that involves drilling into the controller chip.
All Slim 360 drives can be "flashed"
LTU 1.2 has been released which is a firmware designed for all Slim drives (for use with a replacement PCB only)

If you do flash your DVD drive, you'll want to burn your XGD3 games (8.5 GB backups) with an Liteon iHAS drive.
This eBay seller has those drives for a cheap price.


I'm keeping it rather simple and short since Jungleflasher comes with a complete manual.
I'm using a Liteon 9x from a Phat as an example.

First things first you'll need to get a X360USBPro and a CK3i or a X360 USBPro v2 + a Probe 3 for connecting the drive to the Powersource.
(VIA SATA cards also work as well as some SATA chipsets but for the sake of simplicity I'll go with the above)

Once you have the hardware you'll have to disassemble your 360.
Connect your DVD drive to the X360 USBPro and CK3i and start Jungleflasher.
Grab your DVD key by going to the DVDKey 32 tab, make sure you've set the correct IO port and hit PhatKey.
icon_xl.jpg

Press the switch on the probe and then probe MPX01 on your DVD PCB and release the switch to extract your DVD key.
2218d1299154803-jedes-lite-flashen-ohne-loeten-und-cutten-capture20.jpg

Then if everything went alright, Jungleflasher should pop up a message which lets you save your DVD drive firmware.

This small firmware file contains your DVD keys and is pretty much the second holy grail of your 360 (first being the CPU key) SO SAVE IT TWICE!
Use this small FW file to build a CFW for your drive on the Firmwaretool 32 tab.
Load your firmware as Source and LT+ 3.0 as the Target.
Click on Spoof source to target and ensure both DVD keys correspond with each other.
JungleFlasherFirmwareTool32.jpg


To flash it, head to MTKFlash 32.
Click on Liteon Erase to send the Erase command to your drive.
Then powercycle your drive by switching the CK3i on and off quickly.
Then if all went well your drive should return with Status 0x72.
Now proceed to click on the Write button.
Once this has completed click on Outro/ATA reset.
x0tukx.jpg

If everything goes well your drive should now contain LT+ 3.0 and you can reassemble your 360 and enjoy your backups.

AGAIN!
I advise you to read the Jungleflasher manual for further help.
I can't possibly shorten everything in there and post it here.



ODDE*.





gallery_285041_202_165039.png






This is pretty much the same as DVD flashing but it has a few advantages.
Mainly:
You can use an external HDD to store your game ISO's on.
It also allows you to play mulleted xbox 1 games*.

However this requires you to purchase some hardware.
Currently all Phat 360's are emulated.
Pretty much every Slim 360 is emulated for it but some drives require extra steps.
Liteon 1175 and Hitachi 0500/0502 both need you to RGH your 360 to obtain your CPU key + FCRT.bin in order to emulate the drive.


Installing an ODDE is pretty straight forward.
You'll have to dump your DVD key so refer to the flashing section to dump your key.
Some DVD drives can't be dumped and need the CPU key + FCRT.bin from the NAND so those will need to refer to the RGH section.

Phat DVD dumps:
DVD dumps from Phat needs to be "converted" to firmware.bin.
Load your DVD dump as source in Jungleflasher and load a stock firmware as the target.
Spoof the keys and save your target firmware.
Name it "firmware.bin" and save it to your microSD.

Slim DVD dumps:
DVD dumps from the slim don't need conversion of any kind.
Just dump the DVD FW and save it as dummy.bin on your microSD.


Installing the ODDE itself (I will take an Xkey as an example)
You'll need to disassemble your 360 completely.
Disconnect your DVD drive from the Mobo and connect the Xkey PCB to the Mobo.
Now connect the cables from the Xkey to the DVD drive.
They should connect like this
nnqyqt.jpg

Once that is all done then feed the flatcable through the chassis near the Ethernet port.
Connect it to the small USB adapter thingy with the blue tab to the outside of the console.

Once it's all seated together, reassemble your 360 and boot it.
Wait for the Xkey firmware to be updated and shut it down.
Then connect your HDD with your backups to the Xkey.
It can take a while for the HDD to be fully recognized (depening on the amount of games you have on it)
Games should be in a folder called GAMES on the root of the HDD.
Along with the xkey.cfg, which holds your Xkey settings.

ISOmenu:
ISOMenu is a small feature that exploits the picture viewer/MP3 player in the 360's dash.
You can select a game by pressing the Guide button and going to picture viewer.
Go to the game you want and select the map.
Once a white image appears and says: Press Eject to play (something silimar) then continue pressing B until you're back on the main dash.
Press Eject on the DVD drive tab and wait for the game to be loaded.


JTAG.





gallery_285041_202_11360.jpg






This one is sweet for people with REALLY old 360's or people that just recovered a old one from RRoD.
You can basically play every game you want.
Xbox 360, Xbox 1, XBLArcade and XBLindie (as of Dashlaunch 3.0) as well as run Linux distro's and homebrew.
However you cannot connect to XBLive ever!
If you want to JTAG your 360 then you'll have to make sure it's on Dashboard 2.0.7371.0 OR LOWER.
Any dashboard above will not work and you'll need to refer to the RGH.

Added to a JTAG you'll probably want to prevent it from dieing quickly so setting the fans to a minimum of 75-80% in FSD*


COMING SOON


RGH.





gallery_285041_202_25407.jpg






This is pretty much the same as the JTAG.
However it has some differences.

First of all this hack is achieved with a special modchip that glitches the 360's boot process.
Then once it's "glitched" you can do everything a JTAG can do.
You can optionally also install a couple of switches and set up a so called Dual NAND.
This will allow you to retain your Live enabled state of the 360.

If you want to RGH your 360 then you'll have to know your dashboard first.
If you're on 14699 and below on Phats then you can use RGH1 (RGH1 is much more stable and quicker on boot then RGH2)
If you're on 14717 or above then you'll have to resort to RGH2.
Dashes 15xxx and above use a new set of timing files but they still use the wiring of RGH2.

Xboxes that are great to glitch: Opus, Falcon, Jasper/Kronos, Trinity, Corona/Corona V2.
Xboxes that also work are Xenons (14699 only) and Zephyrs, but their a pain to glitch and some don't glitch at all.
Corona V2 needs a special method of dumping the 4GB NAND.
You can dump it partially (48 MB iirc) or the full 3.8 GB.
The full 3.8 GB is rather slow but if you want to do it right the first time then dump the full 4GB.

Currently the same rules apply to both JTAG and RGH machines regarding XBLive and the fans.


RGHing your 360 comes with a few extra steps.
First of all, determine what RGH type you'll need to use by your Dash version.
RGH1:
RGH1 is used for Phats with a dashboard equal or lower then 14699.
RGH1 uses only a few wires and is faster then RGH2.

RGH2:
This hack is designed for the Slim, but is also used on 14717/14719 and 15572+ Phatty 360's.

DGX:
This method is only used to retrieve CPU keys from Slim consoles that have been updated to 15572 or higher.
If you want to glitch your box with this other then rescuing DVD keys then I advice you to convert it into a RGX.
*This one is outdated, I will write some info over it but pay no attention to this*

RGX:
This a newly released hack.
Users which have a DGX can convert their DGX to the RGX with a couple of caps/wires.
More info is coming soon on this.
*this one is outdated, I will write some info over it but pay no attention to this*
After that you'll need to dump your NAND.
You can do that with a NAND-X/JRunner programmer or an SD based NAND dumper for Corona's

R-JTAG

RJTAG is a hacking method developed by Team Xecuter which utilized a JTAG image through a glitching method. It was a very promising development, however due to problems after release of the CR4XL with phat console compatability, and the abandonment of the original RJTAG chip, it has been abandoned in favor of RGH 1.2 by most, if not all Xbox 360 hackers.

RGH 1.2
RGH 1.2 is a method of hacking phat Xbox 360's created by Russian hacker 15432. It utilizes the original wiring of RGH 1.0 while also enabling RGH 2.0 Nand images. This means it will work an any Phat Xbox 360 console regardless of current dashboard. It is suggested you be on at least 17150, as that was the dash it was created on, though in theory it will work on any RGH2 dash.
This method requires custom programming of the used modchip, and we will detail the process below. The most utilized modchips in this process are the Matrix Glitcher V1,
The Xecuter Coolrunner Rev C, And the Ace V3 although it requires some modification to be used. The Ace does have a special feature which auto-tunes itself when the self-timing file is used. In this tutorial we will be using a Matrix Glitcher V1 modchip.

Supplies: A PHAT Xbox 360 console(preferably Jasper or Falcon Mobo, Xenons and Zephyrs have a low successful glitch rate), Jrunner program, RGH 1.2 timing files, a compatible modchip, 26-30ga wiring, solid strand preferred for bottom points, JRProgrammer V2 kit,
25-35W soldering iron, flux, thermal paste, 91% IPA or MEK, office tape, and Qtips. A hot glue gun is also highly suggested.

Preparation: Disassemble phat Xbox 360 down to the bare mobo with Xclamps removed, clean old TIM off of CPU, GPU(not necessary but highly recommended) and heatsinks, clean soldering points well, might as well clean the whole board if you can at least with a can of duster, tin(pre-solder) your modchip pads(including xilink connections on modchip if using Matrix) and soldering points on mobo, attach nand wiring to mobo, attach xilink connection wires to modchip, program modchip with file 19 for Falcon mobos and 21 for Jasper mobos.

Qtipclean.JPG PREPPEDCHIPFINAL.PNG nandwires1.JPG nandwires2.JPG


Programming the modchip is done through the "Advanced" tab in Jrunner. Click it, and navigate over to "Custom Nand/CR functions. You'll see a tab pop up. Click the browse box, and navigate to where you've stored the 15432 timing file pack.
In this instance, we're programming a Matrix Glitcher for a Falcon mobo, so we'll use file 19 from the RGH1.2 pack. You'll have to navigate to the "if you mad" folder. Find file 19, and click "Run"

chipwrite6.PNG

Go ahead and solder in the chip. Use the office tape to hold the wires down for now.

tapedbottom.JPG

Soldering points: All of your points will be on the bottomside, other than GND and VCC(3.3v)

PLL/RST-RSTPLLFINALFINAL.PNG
(Note, these points are especially difficult as they're quite small, located very close to other components, and will RROD the console if damaged. Be very cautious and be sure to tin the points before attaching wire)

CLK-CLKFINAL.PNG

POST-POSTOUTFINAL.PNG

GND-GRDFINAL.PNG

VCC(3.3V)-vccfinal.PNG

Dumping the Nand: First, you'll want to attach your JR Programmer V2 to the Nand connection wires and your PC. Make sure you have the console plugged in, but NOT ON. Dumping the Nand is quite simple with Jrunner. It was created to be linear so obviously, click "Read Nand." This will read the Nand twice and automatically compare to verify a good read.

programmerpuggedin.JPG Nandread.PNG nandread2finialfinal.PNG nandread3.PNG

Creating/writing the ECC: After you've backed up the 2 Nand reads which are located in the output folder of Jrunner to another folder, move immediately to the right and you'll notice a button that says "Create Xell Reloaded." This is for JTAG or RJTAG so we dont want this option. Simply clitch "Glitch 2" over in the xebuild options, and click "Create ECC" where "Create Xell Reloaded" was previously.

Now, with your programmer connected, go ahead and click "Write ECC" which is also immediately to the right. Jrunner will now write the program you need to retrieve your CPU key to the console.

ECCwrite3.PNG

Booting Xell and retrieving CPU key: After the ECC is written to the Nand, unplug the JRProgrammer V2 from the console, reattach the heatsinks with new TIM, pop the fan out of the cage, and place it blowing towards the heatsinks. Plug in the RF board, your A/V cable(it can be HDMI), and power supply. Press the little button in the middle and if all is well, Xell will boot and display your keys. Take a pic of your keys or write them down.

xell2.PNG cpukeyjrunnerfinal.PNG

Tuning the chip timing: This is a good time to tune your chip timing if you're not satisfied with the boot times thus far, or if you cannot achieve Xell at all. Simply go through the chip writing process again, methodically selecting different timing files and attempting bootup until you reach your desired results. The files I've found to work best are 19, 20, and 21.

Creating image: Going back to Jrunner, type in your CPU key. As soon as its completely written in correctly, Jrunner will automatically decrypt the Nand and its contents and move the output to a folder in its directory which will be named as the serial of your console. It will also try to go back to JTAG/RJTAG settings. Again, click "Glitch 2." Now, immediately to the right(notice the pattern) you'll see a button that says "Create XeBuild Image." Click it and watch Jrunners magic. It will completely build the hacked dashboard for you.

xebuild1final.PNG xebuild2finalfinal.PNG

Writing image: At this point you can hook your console back into the JRProgrammer V2 which should still be plugged into your PC. Again, plug the console in BUT DO NOT TURN IT ON/IT MUST BE OFF. Click "Write Nand," and it will begin writing the hacked dashboard image to the console. After it's completed, unplug the console, and programmer. Plug the console back in with the A/V cable and boot it up a few times to make sure the boot times are still good. You will also want to place it back in the cage, with the DVD drive connected and fan back in to verify a few more times.

xebuildwritten.PNG

Wrapping up: If you've achieved a successful hack, congrats. Now it's time to reassemble but first, I'd highly suggest using the hot glue gun to lock the wiring in place. You should also clean up any flux residue left over.

CR4XL By Team Xecuter
The CR4XL modchip was developed by Team Xecuter. It is an excellent, albeit more pricey option for hacking either Phat or Slim Xbox 360 consoles. It should be noted that the Phat version typically utilizes RJTAG methods rather than RGH 2.0 and has bricked consoles in the past possibly due to bad production runs. RGH 2.0 can be used on Phats, but again, bricked consoles. This chip however, is a great option for any Slim console. Most Slim consoles glitched with the CR4XL have an excellent, consistent boot time. This is a good choice for someone who wants to just solder in a chip and go step-by-step in Jrunner and not worry about timing files and programming modchips.




KingKong exploit *This is purely for legacy purposes*






So, you have a 360 with Kernel 4548 or lower and wish to do this in order to boot Linux.

Requirements:
Kernel 4548 or update to 4548 found here (link will be added soon)
Peter Jacksons King Kong the video game.
Flashed DVD drive.

The KingKong exploit can technically been seen as a "softmod" type of exploit.
But it needs a flashed DVD drive which is in itself isn't really achieved with software.


COMING SOON



So in short:
There is no real softmod and there will much likely never be one for the 360, so you're out of luck for that.
It's pretty much all hardware based (flashing can with luck be achieved with software only, provided you have the correct SATA chipset)
You can hack both Phat, Slim and redesigned Slim 360's with all of the above regardless of your Dash version.

If you ONLY want to play games and have XBLive access, then I'd suggest you get an ODDE or flash your drive.
A RGH can be used for Live but you'll need to invest in some expensive hardware.
Besides it's extremely risky if you accidentally boot homebrew/FSD/XeXMenu, your console+profile will get banned from live if they detect you!
You cannot play XBLA/XBLIndie/DLC or use Avatar items downloaded from the web on a retail 360, if it's not released on disc then you're only able to boot that stuff on hardware hacked consoles!



Explanation of some of the words.
Mulleted xbox 1 games - This is a special method to convert normal Xbox 1 games to 7.4 GB ISO images playable on flashed/ODDE consoles.
ODDE - Optical Disc Drive Emulator, This is a small piece of hardware that emulates the 360's DVD drive.
KV - This is your KeyVault, it holds all the data of the 360 such as your DVD Key, CPU Key and various other data regarding your consoles region and settings.
RGH - Reset Glitch hack
FSD - This is FreeStyle Dash, a neat little replacement dash that resembles the old NXE* from Microsoft.
It has a lot to offer.
NXE - This is the second dashboard from MS, (dashboards 7357 to 9199)
MS - Microsoft.
Phat - Original Xbox 360.
Slim - Second 360 version.
E slim- Third 360 version.

And all the great people who have made progress in the 360 scene!
I can't give individual credits because the list would be to long then.

Nice overview- is it perhaps worth adding the PIRS installation stuff? I know there is not a lot but Fallout 3 and possibly vegas as well, the first two borderlands expansions (some even list the others but I thought it was just the two from the double pack), I think some stuff from oblivion, quite a bit of preorder bonus content for various games and some other notable stuff not to mention the unlocked LIVE package stuff (some Forza stuff among other things I am told).
Most of that is quite worthwhile and as this just needs a USB drive (and probably USB xtaf) or access to the hard drive with no other mods necessary and is perfectly safe it might as well be covered.

Along the same lines is LIVE to CON officially dead and buried now?

Beyond that there are a few extraction hacks (similar to the virtual console stuff from smash brothers) but I have not done anything there before so I am not sure what goes.

It's basically a basic guide to aid people on what to decide basically.

I'll see if it can make it more detailed and add some stuff on the jTAG/RGH section.
Keep filling this thread or PM me for things to add ;]

I have a question, I've had my Xbox for just over 3 years, it has a Falcon Motherboard but I've been updating it, obviously because of Xbox Live. Does the Kernel and Dashboard versions ever change since you buy it? I got a PS3 that I play online with now and I think it's about time I JTag/RGH my Xbox, and another thing, will Xbox Original Softmodded homebrew work? Like let's say there's an emulator for a console that's available for Xbox Original but not 360? Let's say an N64 Emu for 360 doesn't exist, could I use Surreal64?

Your eFuses get blown.
Your previous kernel will mismatch with the eFuses.
Which prevents you from downgrading.

If your dash is on 14719 or lower then you can RGH it.
Otherwise stay on 15574 until hopefully a new RGH way has been found out.


And yep.
With the hacked Xbox emulator, homebrews and some games for Xbox become available.

As of 12-09-12 the XeLive plugin is detectable by MS and will lead to a banned KV*...
xelive is detectable by ms only if u play homebrew (unsigned code) or use a profile have used unsigned code.
right??? if i make a new profile and i not use fsd or any homebrew iam safe?

The ODDE is much the same as the hacked DVD firmwares so yes you can go online. c4e (one of the main people doing things in hacked 360 DVD drive world) did once posit they might be less safe than a hacked firmware but nobody has yet managed to qualify that (microsoft certainly have not banned anybody).

DVD firmware hacks (which again this is technically a class of) have seen bans happen in the past and I am sure if you did things badly (playing games ahead of street dates, using bad copies of discs, something new like AP2.5 pops up that trips the "copied game alarm", trying to use modified copies and such) then banning is a distinct possibility, a proper ban based on detection of hacks has not happened in several years though. Either way the standard GBAtemp 360 section policy in this matter is something along the lines of "try to play it safe and if you get banned then so be it".

XeLive is detectable.
Homebrew or not.


MS can detect the data transmitted to their servers with the XeLive files.
You may test it for yourself (freshly hacked NAND + clean new GT + GOD game) but I'll assure you you will end up banned.

Awesome post, thanks for taking the time to make this... EXACTLY what I was looking for, looking forward to reading the additions. Im sure this will clarify what seems to be a minefield for many people.

Thankies and you're welcomes~

Yeah I plan to add a lot more stuff and clear a lot up more.
I'll try to make a small mini guide on how to flash/jTAG/RGH a 360.
To give a small indication on how to do it.
Devin also suggested me to describe the KingKong exploit for legacy purposes.

I still have lots to do before I call it finished but atleast it's giving an indication on what there's to do with a 360.

I am having a hay day trying to figure out what I can do with my xbox 360. I just received it from a friend as they got a new one and we figured out it is a Xenon and is running 14719 and pretty sure it has a phillips liteon in it. Is there anyway to play games off a hdd with this. I am a newbie so please excuse me. Everything I am reading says I cannot jtag a Xenon running a 14719 ? I really need help!

Liteons (to my knowledge) don't appear in Xenon consoles.

You can have an Opus (which has a Liteon) that one is also without HDMI.

But other then that.
If you want to keep XBLive then get an ODDE.

Hmm I ripped the entire console apart and it stated that it was a Phillips Liteon? And from my research they base what the board is based on the port? Is this correct? My port has the 1 line above the ports and the square in the middle with no HDMI port?

I guess there may be a possibility that they switched out the drives? I swear that all the tutorials I looked at show that I have a Xenon motherboard. Is there any way to get this to work without an ODDE now? What if I don't want to play Xbox live? Sorry I am asking so many ?'s but I am so confused as I have also read that Xenon's don't carry liteon dvd drives. But with this knowedge can some one please give me step by step instructions to jtag or something? I don't want to break it !

To combine your questions:

Yes your board is a Xenon one.
Yes it's possible that it's been send to MS for a faulty DVD unit, and got replaced with a Liteon.
No you can't play ISO's from a external HDD without a ODDE.
jTAG is dead since 8xxx
RGH can work on a Xenon but personally it's not worth the trouble.
You can flash the DVD drive.

That + I'd like to continue this here
