Sorry for my ignorance but I have a banned console, and i also have a console that has the old software on but that has an E73 error - would i still be able to link this up and retrieve the information i need from it so that i can use that on the banned one or would the pc not recognise it due to the error?

Heres a tricky question. Lets say you have a banned 360 and a whole pile of RROD boards kicking around, can the following be done. (lets assume the RROD boards have been sitting around for at least 2 years obviously with no updates).

If i was to either read the nand off a rrod board or remove the nand and cpu is it possible to do the following to get the box unbanned... (i am not worried about resoldering them, thats no big deal for me)

option 1. get a read from the Nand of the RROD board, overwrite that bin file to the Nand of the banned 360 and then replace the CPU of the banned box with the RROD CPU, do the jtag hack to get the cpukey, DVD key and then put original fw back onto the correct dvd etc..

Or...

option 2. remove nand from RROD board and resolder to banned 360 and then replace the CPU from banned box with the RROD CPU, do the jtag hack to get the cpukey, DVD key and thenput original fw back onto the correct dvd etc..

Any thoughts, it seems to me this should satisfy the checks in order to get it back online again ? (assuming of course the RROD console wasn't banned to start with, that would be my luck LOL:)

both would work. the point is to get a matching nand/cpukey + unbanned keyvault. however you can accomplish that will get you back online.

nooob question does 8955 refer to the motherboard if so how do i find out number my one is

uss ducky · « **Reply #23 on:** November 11, 2009, 01:39:00 PM »

yeah i hope that works, cause I've got 6 rrod boards just laying here beside me

k0mpresd · « **Reply #24 on:** November 11, 2009, 01:46:00 PM »

8955 refers to current dashboard version. i did this on a xenon board never sent back for rrod repair that still had 1888 base kernel.

pesaddict · « **Reply #25 on:** November 11, 2009, 01:58:00 PM »

8955 just checked mine its 8955 so would i need a unbanned 360 to do this hack ?

yes. plus the cpukey for your banned console. and theres currently no way to obtain cpukey on 8xxx+ console.

K, heres my status. I read the Nand perfectly on the RROD 360. I have removed the CPU (from RROD box), and for the hell of it i attempted to read the Nand again after i cleaned up all the solder blobs left on the motherboard... I was able to read the Nand again, and got an identical comparison to the read i done initially. Next step now is to remove the GPU from the banned 360, do the swap, reprogram the Nand and see what happens, but that is for tomorrow.
At least the Nand doesnt have to be desoldered from the RROD board so that is a plus

edit... i did practice on the RROD board with my Solder Balls and CPU mask overlay and it took a couple of attempts but i was able to get the solder balls on all the pads. I know it should be on the CPU itself but the pads on the mobo look more solid.

This does work!!!

I tested it today just to see if it would. Not really that difficult either....thanks for the heads up.

I don't play burnt games online because any game good enough to play online is worth buying to me, but it is still useful information. Stuff like this can only lead to more and more advances in the future.

I personally bought a banned console for like $30 a few years back and just play burnt games on it from time to time to see if I like them. If I do I tend to buy them for my non-modded console.

This really is pretty easy....the problem is for some reason opening a gaming console intimidates people. They don't think of it as just a PC so it scares them. And soldering!....oh no. LOL.

Everyone is all worried about the recent bannings and think that Microsoft has finally fixed the problem permanently. I don't see that at all, in fact, I see the opposite. I say within the year the xbox 360 is fully hacked and you have xbmc360 with endless rom's and still have the ability to play burnt games online relatively worry free. Maybe I'm optimistic, but this about a 360 that actually has good media center capabilites, free games, endless rom's (including xbox 1 rom's), plus natal and all that jazz. Sounds cool to me.

The main deterrent is the relentless updates, but as I understand it there is only a limited about of update fuses the xbox 360 has....so what happens when they are all used? I am sure Microsoft will still be able to update, but the nand will remain the same after that in all future updates. Then we have something concrete and permanent to work with hopefully.

If your dash is 8XXXX or up theres no way to get the cpukey.
Just wait and maybe they will find a new exploit.
