Being a modder I run into plenty of systems where people try to mod their own and lose their key, or pickup a cheap used system with a lost key...

so my question is... whats the best way to get the key off the motherboard... will the new Cygnos360 V2 have that capability?

any help is appreciated

theres no way yet. But if you have dash version below 8XXX then there might be hope in a few weeks/months when the new hack is released and has had time to be developed.

Just keep checking the main page every few days and it should be reported soonish hopefully.

anyone know what chip its stored on? I have a hot air rework station and would be willing to pull a chip and hook it up to a programmer to get it.... I have 2 systems non hdmi that are running the old dash that I would love to get going...

ya if the new "hack" helps with this... then I got 2 test dummies lol

Keys are encrypted with the cpu key, which can only currently be gotten with a working dvd drive and king kong exploit.

New hack will give you another way to get cpu key with out dvd drive when its been released fully.

thats kinda redonculouse.... i mean... u want the dvd key but you need a working dvd drive to get it? lol

what about that infectious chip... thought u could with that... or was that just a maybe thing?.... i dunno.... havnt fallowed this part of the scene for awhile

majinsoftware · « **Reply #5 on:** August 17, 2009, 04:17:00 AM »

infectious just lets you reprogram the nad chip, But to be able to do that you need the cpu key aswell. Which currently can only be gotten with a working dvd drive, exploitable dash and king kong game.

Thats a dumbed down explanation.

New hack should change this.

If you had asked this 2 weeks ago the answer would of been no theres no hope for your xboxs but now with the new hack coming out there might just be a chance if what the devs of it say are true.

Just keep checking back or have a read up on the details so far, "Jtag hack"

Till its released make sure you keep the oldest version of dash that you can on the xboxs. But anything under 8XXX should work so they say.

ya I'm not planning on updating em... I'll check sometime what version they are.... should i look into getting the cygnos v2 chip u think? or....? man I need to start reading again lol

Just wait intill its been released before buying anything, Might be able to use a XD card as a 2nd bios instead of having to buy a cygnos v2.

blob_54 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 17, 2009, 04:41:00 AM »

ya... always better to wait and see... but I for sure have atleast 1 box that has the old dash... dunno the version but I'll find out here soon....

I'll see whats up i guess soon

Find out what motherboard it is, and look up the jtag hack for it. As long as it doesn't have the august 09 dashboard update or newer, you should be able to salvage the dvd key off it through usage of xell

Runningfrenzy · « **Reply #12 on:** October 29, 2009, 01:19:00 PM »

http://en.wikipedia....System_Software
There's a link the the versions and their release dates

The NXE release was version 2.0.7357.0 released Nov, '08

QUOTE(shawnmos @ Oct 29 2009, 01:53 PM)

What number is the aug 09 update? Is that the one with the NXE? Cause this one has that. Dashboard version is 2.0.7371.0

Sorry for the double post, but if you've got anything 849X or lower, you're good to go for the jtag hack (just don't update it)

I know how to solder, but it looks like an extremely complex process. Is there a guide for n00bs? I have tried reading up on at at free60.org but I'm pretty lost.

Also, will I need a 32bit OS to do all of this? I am using Win 7 x64 and it's been a pain for flashing drives.

Use something like this to find out what model board you have:

And search the forums here to find a tutorial like this one (for the xenon board)
http://forums.xbox-s...o...690493&st=0

Most of the boards all have different solder procedures, so if you don't have specifically a xenon board, DO NOT USE the above tutorial. They're all available here on the forums.

Only from the dvd drive itself. Try using jungleflasher or dosflash to get it back. Here's the guide for JF:
