Is it possible, or is the dvd exploit the only way to get it working? I'm 100% sure Jtag won't work.

So I take it isn't possible yet?

There hasn't been a softmod for any 360 since the King Kong shader exploit was fixed.

This is not actually correct.

The King Kong shader was one avenue to make use of the single exploit ever found on the 360.
That was closed with the 8XXX update which came well before the slim consoles did so it means that it was locked out from the exploit to start with.

And therefore my statement is actually correct - there has only ever been one software exploit found (using the KK shader), and that weakness was repaired by Microsoft a long time ago.

No... It was wrong.

You said and I quote

You make out that there was only the KK shader exploit and after it was closed there was nothing else..

The KK exploit was actually the first attach vector on the only exploit ever found for the 360. The last attack vector for this exploit was the JTAG and now its closed there is no more exploit to make use off.

For you to have been correct you needed to say something like this

No, JTAG isn't a softmod. KK was the only softmod, JTAG is a hardware attack that allows unsigned software to run. Hence my statement was correct, even if they both exploit the same weakness.

And the answer is still no!

What about the timing attack :-P

I dont consider the JTAG to be hardware.. You might need to solder some stuff but its 99% a software attack.
There is no 'jtag mod chip'

Anyway yes NO! is the correct answer.
