New Xbox 360 Hypervisor exploit (software based)

[BigOnYa]

No, i visited my local Gamestop couple days ago and they had 9 copies week before, but was sold out of them. Employee there said store 50 miles away had 2 copies still if i wanted to put a hold on one, but didnt bother. When i looked at the online site later, those 2 were also sold. So no they not destroying them.

Gets banned from the store? Yea man, sounds believable and realistic lmao

I'd buy into this conspiracy if there was hard evidence of a notice store managers get sent or something, I don't know if physical locations even carry 360 games anymore but they sure as hell aren't going to be aware of a new software exploit for a 20 year old console. If they don't keep stock in store I could definitely see trade-ins being destroyed after being shipped wherever they go to be sold online, but it just honestly wouldn't make sense, Microsoft obviously doesn't really care and when have we ever not known GameStop to make a quick buck off of scalping?

Hopefully now with the Rock Band exploit being released maybe prices can at least semi-return to normal for collectors or Tony Hawk fans in general genuinely looking for a copy

Actually not as much as you think. The site you mention also hosts a very famous script (which I won't name for obvious reasons) that activates Windows and has been there for a long time. I doubt anyone doesn't knows about it

It's a legal trial version released by the authors/creators themself, so there's no reason they would take down the trial version anyways. It is not piracy. You can find it and all the info here: https://consolemods.org/wiki/Xbox_360:Bad_Update

Well, I mean, since it's the full game with many restrictions, you can unlock it if you've got an RGH/JTAG Xbox using YarisSwap. Don't think it really matters considering it's a demo.

Releasing info about vulnerabilities and exploits is 100% legal. In fact its a public service. MS has no grounds to DMCA anything and its not in their interest to aggravate the hacking community since the vast majority of vulnerabilities are discovered by that comunity .

The demo was released as shareware and I doubt that is covered by DMCA laws.

Just stopping by to say this is cool stuff! I know everyone is saying it's not a softmod but it's still cool to see and I'm thinking about trying it for GoldenEye and delisted XBLA stuff. Or unlocking the original Xbox emulator. I wonder if some of my old friends from high school still have their 360 collections so I could install games off of their discs.

I saw MrMario's latest video walked you through dumping your NAND and CPU key. The NAND he said was good for backing up in case something went wrong and needed a reflash. Is there anything else those are good for without an RGH mod?

Never know, maybe someday will be able to flash your Nand with a custom Nand using this method. That would completely open the door.

Legally? No, there's nothing illegal about an exploitable game. It's not comparable to flashcarts and modded consoles.

Finally got my cpu key+nand from a winchester using this exploit. Thanks to those who made this possible

The Xbox360BadUpdate repo now has the savegame for Rock Band Blitz

I SAW eat that scalping pieces of shit

do you plan on flashing the DVD drive? I've been really itching to see a Winchester run backups for some reason lol

I read that is possible , but I don't own a ltu2 pcb right now. Maybe in 2 weeks . But I already played a game , just need to be also patched to run if not would throw an error and refuse to run

Hopefully there will be a way to use the hacked and unlocked original Xbox emulator with the exploit.

You can also run a custom dashboard as long as you manually patch the XEX file first using the XEXTool that came with the BadPayload package. Either ran from USB or the hard drive, whichever is easy for you. Freestyle 3 works perfectly; I am able to change the themes, rip some of my Xbox 360 games, and play them straight from the USB drive.

Are you able to extract your NAND with J-Runner?
I tried it with my Winchester dump, but it doesn't generate the FCRT.bin and C-R.bin files, which are needed for LTU2/ODE solutions.
AutoGG does support it, but the generated C-R.bin looks wrong to my eyes.

I've tried using the Rock Band Blitz game as an entry point for the exploit and I'm on my 15th or so try, each lasting from 5-15 minutes (mostly 5-8 minutes). Still no luck.

I've run into the issue where I pressed the A button too soon as well, but that one's on me. 30% success rate isn't really going well for me. What could be the reason? I followed MrMario's USB setup, I highly doubt that I've made an error there. The USB drive should be fine, I've tested it with the h2testw before attempting this exploit. I get to the part when the lights start alternating diagonally and after a while the screen freezes and sometimes it it has 3/4 of the ring activated, the other times it's one of the diagonal patterns. Whenever that happens, I reboot and try again. In most of the attempts, my USB drive has been connected to the one of the ports in the back, while in the remaining few it was connected to the one of the front USB ports. As far as I can tell, no change. My controller is not connected to the console via USB just in case that might cause an interference with the exploit and the USB drive is the only USB device connected to the console.

Any suggestion what to try next?

EDIT: I checked the LED patterns here and I'm not sure how these translate to the Slim consoles, so once it froze for me but the ring had 3/4 activated I waited for a while and, sadly, nothing happened.
