Hacking [Guide] How To Hack Your 360

Does the Ace V5 modchip work on Jasper out of the box? If not, there a modchip that'll work for it? I don't mind long boot times, as long as it boots. Thanks.

Use a Matrix or Coolrunner Rev C. I have a written tut in the sticky guide

Thanks for the info. I just checked the dashboard version, it's 2.0.17502.0, so that means it's dashboard 17502 right? Do I need to use RGH2 chips to mod it? Or does Coolrunner Rev C still works? Thanks.

My bad, its RGH 1.2. Probably should have mentioned that ...

Either the Matrix or Coolrunner will work, but the Matrix is cheaper.

Cool, thanks for the info.

Yep. Iirc they're like 15$. I may even have 1 or 2 around here somewhere

Ok, I got the dvd key, but when I was trying to get the epoxy out I damaged the board. I will just buy a new board, is this one ok? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com.au/ulk/itm/142865678626

Damaged the board beyond repair?
But yes, that one can be used.

I don't know, I can't check rn. But when I was getting the epoxy out, I knocked out some capacitors and scrached the board and when I tried ejecting the drive it tried to eject but it didn't work. Then I soldered one wire to one point that supposedly fixed the tray not ejecting issue but I ripped the pad off (maybe too much heat? it was set at 350°C) .
At this point I think it's much easing just to buy another board instead of fiddling with the one, as I would have to drill anyway bc it's a windbond.

Yeh, flash the keys to the replacement PCB and you'll be fine.

Is it an issue if my drive is 0225 and the pcb i'm buying is 9504? Also where can I find a guide for writing the key to the drive and would I need to install a custom firmware it says it comes with lt2?

Software doesn't matter, hardware does.
All Phatty drives with the exception of a few and most Slim drives got a new firmware with the 13699 update.

Would this one work? Even through it says it works with dg16d5s, my drive is dg16d4s 0225, is that a problem? https://www.amazon.es/dp/B07QM1NDZN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wvZrDb2DEM8XB

Another thing, will I be banned on xbox live?

 

[DinohScene]

Get the eBay one.

Nope, as long as you patch your backups, chances of being banned is slim to none.

Can someone help identify this motherboard? The production date is 2009 Oct, so I'm pretty sure it's a Jasper. But if anyone is familiar please help confirm. Thanks.

 

[DinohScene]

Jasper or Kronos, remove the CPU heatsink and check the CPU.
They're both the same when it comes to RGH.

Cool, thanks for the info.

No prob!

Do you still have J-Runner v0.3 Beta 7? I got the Beta 5 from the Xecuter site, but it's crashing. Some error about checking internet.

Should be working fine.
I've got a v0.4 install and it works correctly.

Thanks for the link. I downloaded that version of the J-Runner, I was able to dump the NAND initially. Then I continue to program the Cool Runner Rev C, then solder in the CR Rev C (bridged JP and 2-3). But now I'm at the point where I'm supposed to connect the JR Programmer V2 to write Xell onto the Nand. It says NAND not found.

I see that the light ont he JR Programmer V2 is red. I resoldered the wires to the JR Prog V2 and it's still red. I tried writting the NAND anyways but it give me the error "Device Not Found" in J-Runner v.0.5. So I'm not sure where to go now. Did I kill the NAND chip? Or just the JR Programmer V2?

This is how it looks like with JR Programmer V2 and Cool Runner Rev C installed, power plugged in and JRP V2 plugged into PC.

JR Programmer V2 switches positions.

JR Programmer V2 soldering points, it worked when I first dumped the NAND, so it should be correct.

Console connected to the PSU?
