Hacking [Guide] How To Hack Your 360

[skalienx]

Other then an Xkey or Flashing it, nope.
RGH is pretty much only a rescue method for Xenons.
JTAG is out of the question cause of your dash.

That's the conclusion I came to as well. Just wanted verification. Thanks for your reply.

No prob~
I'd use it as doorstop tho.
Used Phatties (Falcons and above) are quite cheap these days.

Thanks for this guide. I might be getting an old phat 360 so I'm gonna need help modding it.

Hope it's not a Xenon/Zephyr if you want to RGH it.

From what I can see, it's a Falcon. November 2008 model with the long line above the power socket and an HDMI port.

For RGH, a CR4XL and a JRProgrammer or NAND-X is required.
R-JTAG is even recommended for improved boot times.

Wonder what that's gonna cost me. lol

 

[DinohScene]

JRProgrammer... roughly 20 quid and R-JTAG/CR4XL a max of 40.
You could settle for clone hardware but don't expect perfect results with it.

Better spend some more on quality hardware then to have it break quicker.

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

Got a good store to recommend?

 

[DinohScene]

Hmm, check the Team Xecuter site for official retailers.
They got a good list.
Sites change and I'm not going to waste time keeping track of stores that aren't in me region to begin with.

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

There's a lot to choose from.... I paid someone to do my old one. I might just do that again.

 

[DinohScene]

Paying someone to do it for you might be the best option.
I don't know how good your soldering skills are.
Points are quite small after all.

 

[GuyInDogSuit]

Yeah, my soldering skill sucks.

 

[DinohScene]

Better let someone do it then for you.
Software side of it is relatively fool proof.

What's the best kit to get for a Jasper? The dash is to new for an LPT. I'm going to have to solder myself, since no-one near me does them any more. (I pretty good at soldering anyways)

 

[DinohScene]

Eh, you're using the LTP cable to dump the NAND.

I'd say get a CR4 XL and a NAND-X/JR programmer.
R-JTAG could also still work but for "perfection" sake, get the CR4 XL.

No, I said the dashboard is to new for LPT. Meaning I can't go the easy root.

So, I'm having to go some other root.

I guess a CR4 XL and a programmer it is then. (If I can find somewhere that still sells them)

I've never modded a 360 before, so it's a whole lot of info I've got to read. Sadly, lots of it, is for older stuff, and I didn't want to make the mistake of buying/looking for older stuff.

Thanks for the help!

Dash 1888 to 17502 (the latest) can be dumped with an LTP cable.
I don't know where you're getting that from that you can't dump the NAND on the latest dashes with an LTP cable, but it's bullshit.

I believe MrModchips is a official reseller for TX.
I ordered something from there and it never came into the mail so I personally don't trust them.
TX their website hosts a list of official resellers.

As for install diagrams, the TX forums have them.
RGH is a couple of years old and the CR4 has been out for quite a while.
But with JRunner, you can't really go wrong.

 

[wiimanofthenorth]

Sorry, it might be because I'm a noob at the 360 modding side of things, and still not fully understanding everything.

I was meaning the whole procedure of modding where you use LPT followed by a 3 wire JTAG for dashboard 7371 and lower.

I've ended up going down the martrix route of things, because that's all I could get my hands on, at a price I can afford. Still waiting on shipping though, so it'll be about a month before I get the parts.

 

[DinohScene]

That's the JTAG hack.
LPT cables are used for dumping the NAND, that's completely independent of the JTAG hack.
Also, it's route, not root.
Root is Admin privileges in Unix systems.

I personally prefer Xecuter products.
Quality of quantity.

It should be similar tho luckily.
