Hacking [Guide] How To Hack Your 360

[bootmonster]

Looking to pick up a 360 and go through the rgh/jtag route.

Any recommendations on which hardware I should be looking for? And which chip to use? I'm comfortable soldering, and want to keep costs to a minimum if I can

Would prefer one of the slim consoles if possible as I owned a couple of phat consoles in the past and they were temperamental.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Get a Glossy Slim.
250 GB version.

One of the simplest one to RGH and one of the reliable ones.

Ok great thanks. Is that the trinity motherboard?

 

[DinohScene]

Yep.
Trinity motherboard yes.
Don't get the 4GB version tho, best is to get the 250 GB version.

Cool cheers. That has the smaller nand yeah?

16 MB NAND.
Standard JR Programmer can dump it.

I'm unsure if you needed a 4 GB SD R/W kit for a 4GB Trinity or not, hence I said to get the 250 GB version.

Don't need it. Trinity is standard 16mb nand. 4GB storage on trinity is a seperate module plugged into the board.

I have a Xbox Slim (2010-09-02 mfr date) I think it's a Trinity it's glossy, want to put it on rgh2) what kind of chips do you recommended @DinohScene And if there are a tutorial, or a easy way.

Can you solder?
Can you solder as in, tiny points?

I'd get an Ace v3 (cheapest) or a CoolRunner 3 or CoolRunner 4.
As for install diagrams, google the name of the chip + Trinity install and you'll have several guides.

1. don't know but I have an angle who work as an electronic worker who has soldering skills, (sorry for my weird English).

Which chip it's better ?

 

[DinohScene]

Then it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Try to get a CR4 if you can and if your budget allows it.
Else a Ace V3 also does the job fine.
You also need a JR Programmer to dump the NAND.

 

[zfreeman]

Is the programmer necessary? Could you just solder points on the motherboard to a USB or SD card adapter?

 

[DinohScene]

You can dump the NAND with an LPT cable, but it's slow as shite.
Soldering it directly to a USB cable is a dumb thing to do.

SD based dumpers are only for 4 GB corona consoles.

Besides, you need the JR Programmer to program the chip as well.

I think it's cheaper just to pay for some1 else to do it thanks

 

[DinohScene]

Brining it to a modshop might be just as costly as DIYing yes.

I bought a Xbox 360 slim Star Wars version in May 2012.
I'm a noob on this but, is this version (star wars 2012) hackable via xkey?

Thanks!!

It's likely a Hitachi or a Liteon 1175.
Both of which you're better off with a RGH.

I'd trade it in for a glossy Slim from '10.

I just wanted to make sure but my 360's MFR date is October 2011 is that still Corona

 

[DinohScene]

Is the 360 Glossy or not?
