It clearly says that the hack will not need any sort of modchip:

Yeah but you will need a way to flash the NAND chip with some sort of programmer.

you don't need a "jtag adapter". What you need is a way to reprogram the NAND flash. This can be an external programmer, a linux tool (if it already runs), or a yet-to-be-announced project which uses a special southbridge mode (details will be coming soon) with just an LPT port. Or a nand-modchip.

also depending how long the developers are taking, how long before the update is enforced via discs? updating might not be a choice at all in the end.

then dont use it for retail games. i still use xbmc daily. havent "gamed" on the xbox` for over 2 years. if it means an xbmc-esque solution, then i wouldnt give a shit about live or retail games on that box.

It could be a situation like the Wii Scene, although there are updates, they have all been decrypted so you can install the necessary files without breaking homebrew.

That yet-to-be-announced thing seems pretty interesting.

AHHHH I'm so pissed CURSE UUUUUU MICROSOFT AND UR LEGAL FIRMWARE UPDATES AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SUCH A HEADACHE.    

[Bryan Nitro]

Awesome I have like 6 first gen xbox's that are still running pre NXE so awesome I can have 6 new Linux based servers.

If anyone is worried about the bickering dont be.  


It is usually a preamble to something pretty damn cool and its usually because people's feelings are hurt or others clammoring to recieve credit.  It happened with a lot of the great dashboards, emus, apps, gamehacks (I was surprised at how much this played a part in the evolution of xbox).  

And if they decide to hide the light under the bush, its cool, because someone else will pick up where they left off and then they will get to announce their godlike skills.



It is odd that some people so intelligent have the emotions of ovulating women but often its true.  



Its the one's worried about legal problems that scare me.  No disrespect to the obvious.

This thread's been entertaining. I just hope this comes out cuz I got scammed on ebay. The dvd doesn't match the mobo. I'd like to use this to pair them back together.

I still turn on the original xbox for my emulator fix. I guess I can update my live box, I still have the other one sitting in my closet collecting dust.

I'd like to see what tmbinc has to say on this topic personally.

/me smacks tmbinc around a bit with a large trout

Its not like when you exploit your system you wont be able to play on xbox live. If you got a exploitable 360 then your able to install something like a dual boot and you can play on the exploited dashboard to play homebrew ect and you can boot to the unmodded dashboard and go on live. An exploitable 360 will bring endless possiblilities, great news!

[Krypton117]

What exactly is homebrew?

[ToBbErT]

Its basicly running unofficial software on your 360.

- 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.

too little too late...this would of been good like a year or 2 ago but I really don't see this as going that big anytime soon...homebrew? you might as well build a cheap computer and run all the linux or emulators u want and all the media you throw at it...pc components are hella cheap right now....

Ok, I want to mention a few things here, but first I would like welcome myself to the the xbox 360 scene. A few days ago, somebody gave me an xbox 360 as payment for modding their orig xbox so now I have a Guinea pig and if a break it, it was free anyway. Now on to my rant.

There a FEW people in this topic that have mentioned PC parts being a cheap solution for all your emulation needs. Those people have obviously forgot why this site is here in the first f*cking place. We are taking a stand here in saying that no giant, money hungry corporation is gonna sell me a device and then turn around and tell me what I can, and can't do with it.  F8CK THAT!! Wake up people.

The second point I want to make is that this exploit may be the little push needed for the Cygnos360 to remain updated and to remain redesigned. Who knows, maybe HDMI in the future.

In closing, I would just like to say that I, myself, could give a sh!t less about live. I have NO plans in giving MS any more money then I have to.

*EDIT* Don't Update!!!

Hi, My dashboard version is 8495. Is it hackable?
