Hacking [Guide] How To Hack Your 360

[awdrifter]

Yes, PSU is connected.

Could you perhaps post the JRunner log?

This is is when the JR Programmer V2 is only lighting up the red LED, the Bootloader Attached and Removed is when I'm trying to plug and unplug the USB cable, the Device Not Found error message is when I tried to program the Xell image.

Thanks.

Try to re-flash your JR Programmer firmware.

Cool, I will try it this weekend.

Before I go through all the trouble to hack my console I want to ask about the functionality of…
A) achievements; do they still work?
B) Japanese regional games; can they be played? A bootleg version is fine but I'm not against buying the foreign games if necessary.
C) Delisted XBLA games that I missed out on such as Scott Pilgrim. Can they be added somehow?

What's the best console version to buy that I can get all these features?

Thank you so much.

 

[godreborn]

a) you can still get achievements, b) if you flash the drive, only games that are for your region work or region free. c) you can download those games elsewhere, and they should work. however, they're only playable with a jtag/rgh to run unsigned code.

I have a Falcon phat 360 that I wanna set RGH 1.2 up on. I have the Matrix Glitcher v1 coming in but I don't have a JRProgrammer. I have the x360usb pro v5 with a ck3 mini that I used to mod the disc drive but that's it. Do i need to get a different x360usb (like the v2) or can I work with what I've got?

Short question: Can I dump the nand with the x360usb pro v5?

 

[DinohScene]

Nope.
You can with an LPT cable but that requires more soldering and a parallel port on your PC.
You need a NAND-X/JRProgrammer/whatever SPi flasher there is.

Got it. Thanks. I got the JR Programmer

Good luck! Make sure you check the soldered connections and never turn on the 360 when the NAND dumper is attached, it'll fry the hardware.

Do I have to desolder it completely or can I leave the wires and connector attached without the JR Programmer attached?

 

[DinohScene]

You can leave the wires, just disconnect the flasher from the console when you boot it.

I've been browsing through some of the threads and haven't seen a fix for what I have planned to use the 360 for. I would like to be able to use iso and run multiple emulators on it and the disk drive is pretty much not even needed for the plan and Live isn't a thought. What would be the best method to go about modding the 360 preferably without using soldering?

 

[godreborn]

I wouldn't even bother with emulators. mednafen is okay from what I remember, but nearly all of them feel incomplete. you don't need the disc drive if using an rgh, but I don't believe there's a solderless method for what you're wanting to do.

 

[DinohScene]

There's not really a solderless method no.
I'd say go to a modshop with it.

Forgive my ignorance. I had a PHAT console that I J-tagged the DVD drive a long time ago. I was given a 360 Slim a couple of days ago. It is a Trinity board with Dashboard 7349. If I am correct.... the only mod option here is RGH2 with ACE v3 chip. If I read correctly this unit cannot be J-Tagged? Can I transfer the modded DVD drive from the Phat and put it in the Slim?

 

[godreborn]

I think you mean 17349. slims cannot be jtagged.

 

[idanny76]

Yes that's the dashboard version 17349.

 

[DinohScene]

I think you mean you flashed your DVD drive and no you can't swap them out like that.

OSIG mismatch and DVD key mismatch.
