Hacking Help: noob jtag info needed asap

[AACThaKid]

okay i have the chance to get a Xbox 360 from my friend in a few days or he will be selling it, i am for the most part new to the Jtag & RGH stuff, i know what they are, what they do and so-on, but what i need help with is the dash/kernel stuff, here is a photo taken with my ipod

as you see the dash is: 2.0.16203.0
K dash: 2.0.16203.0
BUT the BK is: 2.0.1888.0
Motherboard: XENON
NON-HDMI

i do not know what the BK is or means and i do not know if this can be JTagged, can anyone tell me if it can??

Please and thanks, always +Rep helpful replies

BK stands for Backup Kernel.

The 360 loads this Kernel in first and then patches it to 16203.
Your 360 CANNOT be JTAGged, only RGH'd (or R-JTAG when it's a phatty)

 

[AACThaKid]

its a phat 360 pro white

Motherboard version is more important ;p
Xenon/Zephyr are best off with R-JTAG, same with Falcon.
Opus/Jasper/Kronos... well it's your choice.

Longer boot times or quicker boot times.
If quicker (R-JTAG)

 

[AACThaKid]

i do not really care about boot times lol

the Main thing is to play games, dlc and so-on, thats it, xkey does not play DLC so thats out

 

[DinohScene]

Then find out what Motherboard you have and base your hack on that ;]

I'd personally go for the R-JTAG tho.

 

[AACThaKid]

i know it does not have a HDMI port on it, he got it from gamestop about 2 years ago

 

[DinohScene]

Then it's a Xenon or Opus.
What's the power rating on it?

 

[AACThaKid]

No idea lol, where do i look to find out?

 

[DinohScene]

Take a look in me guide and compare the power plug to the ones in the guide ;]

It's the Opus.

Then you could get an Non Xenon R-JTAG kit or a Coolrunner 3 Lite ;]

How much does each cost and is either one better than the other...Or does one have specific benefits or is easier to install?

 

[DinohScene]

R-JTAG has better boot times.
Both are equally difficult to install.
And probably equally expensive ;p

 

[AACThaKid]

Do you know where I can go to check out how much they are and possibly buy them?

 

[DinohScene]

Ehm...
Team Xecuters main site should have a list of sellers.

Thank you very much I appreciate all the help. I'm going to check out the sites right now. If I have any more questions I'll post, but I really appreciate all the help so far.

 

[DinohScene]

Aye aye~
no problem ;]

One more thing I might add I know the Xenon and Zephyr have a bit more tendency to RROD so I just want to tell you that before hand just because they are the older ones.

 

[DinohScene]

Opus should be the same as Falcon.

Xenons and Zephyrs are hotheads.
