Gamesave exploits will work on any kernal. PBL will not work on your kernal which is 5713. You can only run the gamesave exploit and then if you want to run apps or games you will have to sign each app/game with xbedump and using your exploits signature. Try searching for help instead of posting a new topic.  ;)

In fact you can ONLY use the gamesave exploit and not install any other exploit (audio,font) so you will need the game every time you want to do something else.

you can flash the tsop chip i think (some soldering involved but worth it). look at tutorials.

however, a mod chip is always the best option.

Actually I was just informed by Blank in another topic that version 1.6 boxes don't have a TSOP to flash. I am guessing by the kernla version that this is a 1.6 box so you wouldn't be able to do a TSOP flash because there isn't A TSOP. So your best bet is to return the box for an older one or get a modchip.  sad.gif

However, kernel 5713 isn't a 1.6... It's a 1.4 and it CAN be flashed. smile.gif

Hmm... Never heard of a 58xx kernal.  blink.gif  Must be because I softmod and softmods don't work on 57xx and up.  cool.gif

They aren't around yet very much and I don't think there are any chips/biosses available for it yet since it has a new excalibur chip and the xbox bios chip seems to be vanished an the rest of the mainboard stucture is completely different.
