I just wanted to point out that:

a ) The drives are not locked.

b ) The dashboard is stored on the NAND Flash TSOP, so there is no need for the HD with core systems.


Now, what if the dashboard could be cached to the HD, extracted, modified, and then loaded from the cache again?

Last night i speculated about if we can unlock the Harddrive are this a way to inject and remove the dashboard because the xbox can read and write to it?

please don't come in to a technical hacking forum and ask what lock and unlock means. I don't mean to be rude, but it is basic and you could search. A lot of HDD support ATA locking. The original xbox used this to lock the drive and keep people from using it. I'm not gonna explain the whole thing, but it's pointless as the 360 is not locked.

sorry about that, after i posted i figured i should have put it in the noob forum, it wont happen again

anyway since the  dash is located on the TSOP, has anyone tryed desodering and placeing it into a chip reader?


Already been discussed.  Cjack tried, and failed.   He's the one who removed the TSOP from his 360's, and swapped them, to discover that they wouldn't boot.  He also removed other parts, and found the Xbox to boot...

You've also brought up an interesting point, indirectly.  We've cursed ourselves by making a "noob forum" and a "technical forum".  The noobs aren't going to go to the noob forum to get their question answered...why would they?  That's were all the other noobs are.  They want help from the experts.  So, they post in the expert forum.  Which degrades the overall quality of the expert section.

But it's the nature of the beast.  There's no intelligent way to filter it; so we all suffer.  Thanks. :-)
