the question remains... will this work on hdmi consoles? if not then I should go ahead and update.. if it does then I'm damn glad I haven't updated my console.. not to mention I was accepted into the beta... so does anyone know if it will.. they left that out so one can only guess if it does or not.

Thats the big question, even if it takes few weeks to months to get it fully working, it must work on HDMI consoles, otherwise the vast mayority of 360 users will be very disapointed.

I don't really remember these dudes from xbox 1, but well, lets wait and see if they keep their words and release something big.

Why did you keep this information so late? 4 hours earlier and I would finally have 360 homebrew! PLEASE FIND AN EXPLOIT!

what kernel version is the update that patches the homebrew

theevilhacker63 · « **Reply #21 on:** August 11, 2009, 01:01:00 PM »

see that's why even when there was no news about updates/hacks I always waited a few days before I updated my consoles just for this reason.

I sure do hope this is for non-hdmi and hdmi consoles if not it's about as useful as the news from the other day about the modchip being released..

yeah sure any update on the homebrew scene is good news but if it doesn't work for everyone then it's nothing to get excited about. hopefully this changes stuff for the better..

Quoted from xbox-hacker.net by Tmbinc(dont go posting nubby stuff there)

We kept on working on this idea, and it worked out. pretty well. We use JTAG to program the DMA target addr, and then SMC to trigger the DMA read. The exploit itself is based on the old 4532 exploit.

The magic is how we launch 4532 - there is a "backdoor" for manufacturing since CB 1920. We have been able to restore the newer CD versions for all hardware types.

This means:
- We can boot own code in HV context ~5s after boot, before any video output, right after the kernel runs.
- we need to reflash the flash, and add 3 resistors for the JTAG (no modchip required! but you might want a dual-nand modchip),
- 8498 kills this by updating the bootloader - it blacklists 4532/4548. it also does hw init stuff which might interefere with the jtag hack, we don't know yet.
- we have a proof of concept hack, we will release it SOON (a matter of hours/days, not more - promised.).
- DON'T UPDATE to summer 09. Did i already say this?
- you don't need to know your cpu key. You can update to all BUT summer '09. you don't need a dvdrom.
- It works on all xenon, zephyr, falcon, opus, jasper. Unless you have updated to 849x. Then you're screwed.

Shit its true and im actually really happy.

Sounds good to me. I've got an old (and currently useless) 360 sitting in my cupboard which lost it's DVD key a long time ago.

YES!

Glad I didn't update!

FoxRacR17 · « **Reply #29 on:** August 11, 2009, 01:31:00 PM »

so after we apply this hack that is going to be released would we then be able to update to the summer 09 update? Or would that overwrite this hack? Just wondering if i'm going to need to go out and buy another console to run homebrew, and keep the one I have now for live.
