Actually nothing much has changed since 2010 since its harder to find exploitable consoles, depends on what version console you have but there is really only 2 wiring versions (hdmi and non hdmi). Programs like jtag tool, bestpigs toolmaker and easy freeboot makes things easy (jtag tool easiest as its a one stop program) for reading/writing nand and creating the new nand image. Also you may want to buy or borrow a nand-x usb flasher for faster reading/writing or if your a diy kinda guy then the lpt route is for you- albeit slow.

Thanks so much for your helpful reply! I am gonna go out and buy me a nand-x usb. May I ask what a good, current guide is? Even if it's from 2010, that's cool. I just see a LOT of guides out there, and would hate to use one that's more difficult than necessary.

 No worries, here are a couple that i used as i found a lot that were incomplete and conflicting -

Here's another good one. It's an all-in-one guide followed by many:

Thanks so much, guys. One thing I did notice, none of the guides you all posted show using the nand-usb device. Should I forget about buying that? Especially since I won't know what I'm doing with it?

 Personally i'd go the usb especially after using lpt for my first 3 jtags,

 Here is the nand-x guide with install pics.

You will find that using a USB nand flashing device better than fettling around with a homemade LPT cable.
I used LPT for my first few forays into nand reading/writing & although it works fine its time consuming.
Its 45mins or so to read a 16mb nand once, but you need 2 good matching nand dumps & then writing back is another 45mins or so. If you throw a few read errors into that equation you can easily lose the best part of a day.

With a USB device on the other hand reading/writing takes only a few minutes on a 16mb nand.
Once your console is JTAG'ed you can read/write your nand from a USB flash drive with flash360 but its always handy to have a safe backup of your original/hacked nand files you can write back with the usb flasher should you mess up.

I used a lpt and it takes  a few mins to read the nand  jasper 256 ......  
Just make up a Free60 flash via lpt and get full dumps via http = around 10mins Max  
 
Very easy simple process and its permanant ltp failsafe mod fix in the xbox ...incase you somehow fook up
in the future.
