Damn. I just checked my kernel and I have 4552. Damn it. Why'd they have to tell M$? Was this the same person who made the video at the GDC in a hooded jacket, showing the 360 running the Linux logo? They said coming soon... Well I guess it wasn't soon enough.

I could be wrong but it shouldn't matter that he contacted Microsoft about this. Didn't some smart guy figure out that he could downgrade his dash? This was posted less than 2 months ago right, anyway with all the talent surrounding this community I am very very excited about this. I cannot decipher the whole post but to me it seems like this could lead to BIG things

Thats right, was it not team mod freaks over at xboxhacker, not for the fainit hearted though................................

ya it doesn't seem like it would be too difficult to downgrade. i could be wrong tho.

I'm no hacker but could it be possible to put a chip in there that holds the bugged kernel? Same idea like downgrading the kernel like robinsod maybe? But this is better. You wouldn't need a kiosk to boot unsigned code, you can just do it like Dr. Towel Mask. MS could blacklist you for having that kernel?
But.. what if your console has a problem with it where it fails to patch the kernel?
What am I missing here...

How does he think he is helping the scene with this release of info. if he has worked with Microsoft to patch it?

He's not. He's begging M$ for a job.

Really hope this leads to us all being able to run homebrew

Timeline:
Oct 31, 2006 - release of 4532 kernel, which is the first version
containing the bug
Nov 16, 2006 - proof of concept completed; unsigned code running in
hypervisor context
Nov 30, 2006 - release of 4548 kernel, bug still not fixed
Dec 15, 2006 - first attempt to contact vendor to report bug
Dec 30, 2006 - public demonstration
Jan 03, 2007 - vendor contact established, full details disclosed
Jan 09, 2007 - vendor releases patch
Feb 28, 2007 - full public release

He is looking for a job in Microsoft.
He showed his skill , and send info to MS , waited for them to fix it , the show other people how SKILLED he is.

WAITED *2 MONTHS* for new unhackable kernel spreadout

BIG Ego

And smart - MS will give him money , scene will not...

BTW
In X360 are FEW THOUSAND fuses!
Blow one and you CAN'T DOWNGRADE!
And MS still has "FEW THOUSAND - 1".
They can relase fixed kernel FEW THOUSAND times.

Now thisa hack is USELESS.
You would have to find X360 without upgraded kernel. And of course someone has to make something for those older versions.

guess ill heat gun my old mother board...

This guy is lame, look I cracked your uncrackable system give me a job. Still Idc if he discovered hombrew he still left us in a fucking lame position.

This guy is the reason that 'soon' you'll be able to run homebrew. I think that's far from 'lame'

Dont worry about kernel versions.
Just take a look at the PSP, Sony tried to stop the exploits lots of times with higher firmwares but people still keep finding new ways to hack the firmware.
I'm sure it will be the same way with this, once the older kernel gets hacked some smart guys will come out with some kinda way to hack newer ones.

Anyway finally this is some great news

so much for a downgrade fellas

..and so much for a link...google took me there..my bad i guess

Volsfan91 · « **Reply #28 on:** February 27, 2007, 06:33:00 PM »

I'm thrilled if there's any one thing that has persuaded me to buy a 360 over a PS3, it's this moment.

Hopefully, it will be as good as it was with the Xbox- we could install a nice BIOS that goes silent online.

I just read that the only thing preventing a kernel downgrade is an efuse, If you overdie this would you be able to lower the firm version, and run hombrew?
