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.

Summer 09 completely blocked the update, basically the cheapest way atm to get hombrew is to get a no dvd key motherboard. Any non updated console works, including all the ones in stores atm.

So, this new Free60 exploit doesn't require a mod and they state that the console boots into Linux straightaway.

Is it not possible to have an exploited Xbox 360 that you can run Linux/Homebrew on and also run games but without a mod?

Tmbinc writes(XBH): "no modchip required! but you might want a dual-nand modchip"

now a dual nand comes handy.... yeah

After the comunity get its hands on a working and unlocked xbox 360 then getting the updates to be moded and installed just like the CFW for psp and wii is just the next step.

Yeah I suppose. I wouldn't want to do without NXE and HDD game installs just for homebrew though getting another 360 is an option if we don't get custom firmware like PSP/Wii.

Has there been any problems with the update for those who have their console modded?

- you don't need to know your cpu key. You can update to all BUT summer '09. you don't need a dvdrom.

this is huge news. that solves the catch 22 of "i can extract the dvd key from the motherboard, but i need a working dvd drive to do it".

i can't believe what i'm reading right now. this is excellent work everyone.

---edit---

tmbinc confirmed that this exploit can be used to recover the drive key.

QUOTE

- It's possible to recover DVD keys. In fact, no DVD-ROM is required to run the hack, so it's possible to run own code, dump cpu key, decrypt HV, inject key, flash back. Note that I personally don't like games, so I won't be of much help here.
- No, even if you know your CPU key, it's not possible to downgrade back from 8498.
- Right now, the only way to support both gaming and hacking would be a dual-nand modchip, which switches between nand contents. Note that you still couldn't update to 8498, as it likely (haven't tried) doesn't run without R6T3.

From a technical perspective, I want to stress that this is not "yet another bug" - it's THE SAME bug we used 2 years ago. It's just that we changed the way how we write to memory, and that allows for the new cool features.

I have a flashed dvd drive and I got in on the preview program and haven't had any issues. 360 homebrew is awesome news. I can't wait to install a 500 gb hdd onto my 360!!!!!

my friends box who is running ixtreme 1.6 on a liteon v1 with a jasper board attempted to update his box and the update failed, his xbox is now a brick. I think the dvd firmware, but the sad fact is that his xbox is bricked. What he described to me was his update was downloading, the xbox then told him the update had failed, then his screen went blank and he got 3 red rings (top left, bottom left, and bottom right). He then turned the box off, and after that it wouldn't turn on.

You are most likely going to need to purchase a second 360 for homebrew.

Just like the original XBOX days, you won't be able to have Live and homebrew on the same machine.

I'm not 100% on this, but it is VERY likely.

thanks for taking the time to reply but you misunderstood.I have yet to update my elite system with the summer 09 update. i have not been following the 360 scene but im wondering if i wait until this hack comes out and apply it to my 360 first, then will i be able to install the summer 09 update and play on live with my elite? or will the summer 09 update undo whatever this hack does?

IS there ANY chance of a workaround for those who updated?

thethinker360 · « **Reply #43 on:** August 11, 2009, 02:45:00 PM »

this also means that if you apply this hack, you can launch any dashboard version. you can also launch the newest one. you can play live, play games.... but you never boot directly into the new version, you dont update to the new version. you launch it THROUGH the exploit.

this means MS is basically fucked if you dont update now. so DONT!

who knows?

QUOTE

Although there have been numerous software updates for Microsoft's gaming console in the past, this is the first one to overwrite the vital boot block

so... dont do like me and dont update if you want to run some code (only linux?) or .xex´s as well. ?

edit:

or .xbe´s as well?

who knows?
