and that is indeed a very valid pont. im just trying to get some brainstorming going here..im just aching for the day i can' plug in external haddrives into my 360 and play w/e format of movies is on there. or load games, which i think we might be able to do through using a disc emulator (ie using some sort of hacked software to redirect disc requests from the dvd-drive firmware to the sectors on the harddrive of the game, but thats just another random idea).

like i said just tryin to get some brainstorming going, it already seems hitachi development has died out (which blows for us hitachi owners...still crossin my fingers for media stealth on the hitachi drives), and the last thing we want is for the 360's true power to never be released. homebrew would be wicked if u ask me. this time around though we just gotta make sure not to piss off MS enough (ie through cheating) that they ban ppl from live.

Well the hotswap idea might work...But it will be very risky i don't know if the flash is copied into the ram or something an then do a recheck gor the flash everytime it will be a performance issue i think.But what i do know is thaht when you will replace the flash beetween two console or something it will certainly shut off cause the kernel will be read as corrupted or something like that and it will give you an error code (speculation:e71)...This is just speculation but i think robinsod and the gang is working on this.

ok how bout this, where is the kernel stored?? is it all in one place or is it spread across a few chips and then loaded wen needed, if it was in one place COULD it be possible to solder a different chip in with say a modified xbmc pre loaded onto it??

Part of the 360's kernel disassembly...if you find a way to modify it let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Sorry had 2 hdds crash so lost all xbox & 360 hacking work.
Havent had time 2 be online so will clean this up by the end of the week & sorry once again the hdds are 2 screwed to be recovered.

ouch

I just reinstalled XP yesterday (damn does vista suck   ) and i'm using Acronis True Image to the max now.
Don't want to keep reinstalling shit all the time so I now have a nice Secure Zone (hidden partition) containing my c:\ (system) and d:\ (program files)
Made a checklist first and installed all necessary software  / updates.
Changed default folder location for My Favorites and such and put my Outlook .pst on a seperate drive.
Now if I screw up or my systems becomes unstable / slow I just do a 5 minute restore and everything is up an running again.

Ever consider backups? ;-)
I'v had my fair share of losses in the past and I must say that, finally after 15yrs of screwing up and losing data I now know what to backup and when.

Only need to burn my 800GB collection of series and movies now....
hmm... 800GB equals 200 dvd's. Divided by four burners times 15 minutes equals..... two sickdays

Very sorry for your loss. Does this mean you also lost that beta of the Utopia bootdisc ?
You know... that signed disc which rewrites the internal cpu-code to disable the hypervisor and alter the private key to the habibi derivative??  

Ofcourse you are aware of this but keep backing up your data on cheap dvd's (not cheap as in crappy but cheap as in dvd's are not expensive)

Edit:
Whatever happened to NexGen by the way?
I notice you still have the link to http://www.xboxopensource.com/ in your sig but the domain has been taken over / expired.
Shame that it never really hit it off. Ofcourse now XBMC is the only good dashboard availlable but still a shame of NexGen (same goes for MXM, still wonder what happened to BenJeremy)
Sigh... the good 'ol days.... (thankfully I have lots of old threads bookmarked. Just yesterday I browsed through a thread about an xbox recovery disc. Apparantly Eh. hasn't been here since two years... time flies )

Yeah sorry about my sig has been updated now

well.... no... the flash file IS just one signed file, able to run off of a burned CD/DVD, although it is probably hashed, checked then copied to ram, then run from the ram... or copied to the ram, hashed/checked, then run. no matter what order it WILL check the complete data that is or will be in the ram before it runs it... i think your just assuming it will hash/check the file, then in the middle of copying it you swap it for other code, but i HIGHLY doubt microsoft wont hash/check anything in the ram... good idea, but i would put a 99.95% chance on it NOT working. and what you said, the hypervisor's whole purpose is to detect/prevent unsigned code from running... this idea can pretty much be put to rest until running unsigned code is possible, (or i guess if you have the KK/firmware option still available to you)
