ok, i wanna go grab a core pack to try this on (i use legit games + live on my premium).. if i do not get a samsung drive in it.. does anyone know if the drives are interchangeable between 360 consoles (in the stock state)? or does all the media keys etc mean you can't like back in the day when xbox1 hard drives were locked to each mobo? TIA

not interchangable.,... you need to extract the info...

why don't you READ and SEARCH more before you ask this question.

A lot of work? Are you kidding me? In a few days it will be as easy as
1) Attach drive to PC and run some kind of patcher (reads FW, applies hack, flashes hacked FW)
2) Download a pre-patched ISO.

People always say that about modchip installations, hotswaps, softmods... but still many seem to screw up.

I can't believe how some of the wannabe hackers are getting scared as soon as they see hex code.

I hope you were not referring to me as a 'wannabe hacker'. However, most people do not know what to do with the given information and will make mistakes.

Besides, this is far from useless, it opens LOTS of doors for further investigation. We only need one game that has exploitable code and we'll be "in".

Perhaps true, although I think that game-exploits will be found after a working real mod (modchip, etc.) has been created. This makes testing cost less.

Thanks you for this awesome firmware, now where do I get a 360 with samsung drive

On eBay pretty soon, I guess.

Well like I said before MS has already created an update to prevent this type of hack.They will ban you from xbox live.Expect an update in a couple of weeks.

yes interchangable but you have to extract the firmware key from each drive and swap them.

i have done this as well as other people on xboxhacker

thanks bluecop... and to the other idiot who flamed me i did do extensive searches and could not find any rock hard evidence that said someone has either a. tried it or b. backed it up with tech info... fingers crossed the pack i pickup is a sammy... dont suppose they put anything in their serial keys on the boxes to distinguish which is which tho?

would discussing details on getting this to work be out of the question?

bigjimmy · « **Reply #67 on:** May 15, 2006, 12:41:00 AM »

It has begun. So im guessing this will bypass region codes aswell?

I might wait a while till i do this to my 360 to see if ppl with modded firmware get banned from XBL.

Well im gunna keep a close eye to see how this develops...

I was joking when I said that someone would release the hack during e3. Boy was I almost right.

This works and you'll be able to switch between hacked and original firmware. At least mine does

Dunno about region I hear it doesn't work.

BlueCop · « **Reply #70 on:** May 15, 2006, 12:51:00 AM »

region coding is in the xex. this hack has nothing to do with region restrictions that is checked by the console

so you have flashed it up, and flashed it back with original firmware and all works sweet?

I have a Hitachi dvdrom. But my xbox is water-cooled so it makes me feel a little better. LOL I wonder how long its going to be till I can flash my Hitachi. Shit I'd take this over live. I'd just Wait till I get money to get another xbox to use for live.

that's what i would like to know too..
once hacked.. if they did do anything to recognize that the firmware's been changed.. couldn't u just change it back? or could they infact know that it's been changed in the first place at some point in time and ban ppl from XBL etc

hippo · « **Reply #74 on:** May 15, 2006, 12:57:00 AM »

I have dual banks selectable via a button push, the typical clevermod style. I've had this for months for sammy drives. Not xbox 360 hacked but 2 different originals running. Now there is a hack for the other bank and I already did my homework months ago. I just happen to have 600 of them actually...
