Joke over, lets get back on topic.

[C.in-fvr3]

Hello all,

First off i apologize for the fact that i havent said anything here for a long time, but however i have news now. I havent post here because when i said 3 weeks i get it bla bla foen wnet offline and didnt return my emails anymore. Like many of u already do i then also started to question if he really had the stuff. now about many weeks later i started planning to track him so i could speak with him again. after making a new msn and finally be able to see his email online i spoke with his girlfriend and that explained all. he left for work to china 5-6 weeks ago (when we lost contact) and hell be back after 3 weeks. My email was muted and behind it it said note: have to email him, this means that i will have news of him when he sends the email (his girlfriend will telll him by phone that i requested so) or else when he returns after 3 weeks.

I can also tell u that he has succesfully burned a 360 game and can boot it on his xbox 360. (or from his sata hard drive i dont know that for sure)

I told this before and with the last thing i said here many more will say THIS IS FAKE U TALK BULLSHIT HE HAS NOT GOT SHIT. U cant believe that, u cna think that, but plz to not make this topic a flaming one dont say that.

In 3-4 weeks u will here from me again because then i spoke to foen and then ill tell u wether he will or will not pulish his hacks and if he does where u can find it

Plz be patient as i have been for a very long time now.

Greetings,
Frank

First off, stop believign everything people tell you, if your a member of xbox-scene then you know that some random guy you know doesn't have top secret 360 hacks.

Secondly, this is a larger hdd project threads, not somewhere for you to gloat about your special 'buddy' that has pirated 360 games running. Before you claim anything you better have some real technical details backing up your claims, otherwise you WILL recieve posts from people like this.

Allright then if that is what u whish then i wont post here again until i have details

Have a nice day,

Frank

Uhhmmmm.....no......The point is this is a Technical Hardrive forum. That means it's not intended for your dumb friend with his messed up fantasies.

Better not post again at all about this nonsense. And if you do somehow feel the urge post about it do not do it in here but in the general forums as this clearly has nothing to do with harddrives.

If u had read my previous posts before calling me names i said he also succeeded to use a 120 gb sata hard drive with his xbox 360 so i think that  does make it ontopic doesnt it?

Do you have some kind of reading difficultly? The forums are clearly stated to be TECHNICAL forums. ie. don't post unless you have some rather specific information. Of course we all know your just a troll by now and I'm very surprised the moderators haven't banned you yet.

... whats the point? seriously?

the scene doesnt need "my friend did this" and "my friend did that".. but "i'll only have proof in 3 years time"...............

seriously.. if it really is true.. then you should have NEVER spoken of it until you have proof... no one wants to read rumours about the friend of a friend....... its just that simple.. this thread is for teachnical talk about the harddrive.. not bogus rumours.. so please... dont return until your next contribution includes technical information..... otherwise, you're just wasting your and our time.....

I'm no expert and i've only read upto page 3 but...
I think the 2nd partition is used for the emulation, the reason being, when you format your HD, it formats the first partition, and keeps your emulator

[viper023]

i dont know if this will do anything but here it goes.

on the psp, when you want to downgrade from 2.0 to 1.5, there are files that you put on the memory stick for the operation.  to get the downgrade started, i remember highlighting an image file.  as soon as i highlighted that image, no buttons were pushed, it started the downgrader.  could we use this setup for the 360.  maybe with the external hard drive onlying reading .mp3s and pictures.  

also another idea, i was looking at two xbox 360 offical magazines.  in one of them it states that the 360 hard drives are meant to play on every 360 system.  (yes we already knew this).

in the other magazine, it comes with a dvd that can play in both xbox and xbox 360.  any way we could use this this.

again only ideas, im a noob when it comes to this stuff but i love the modding community.

Wow, that would be great news !

Something else: Since partition magic recognizes the HD, isn't there some software that can read it at low level ? Some tool that could read every bit and make a dump of the HD contents ? I'd really love to know if such dump would contain unencrypted ASCII contents like directory contents etc.

Something like this:

Can someone try something like this ? It would (hopefully) give us great insight in the filestructure, which could eventually lead to the development of software to read (and write) it on a 'higher' level.

Sorry for the quick back/back posts.  I realize now that the WINHEX has been tried and works for cloning.  Sorry for the dupe.

Second, reading through a bunch of other threads I came across this review of the XBOX360 USB Xecuter device.  From what they are showing/saying near the bottom, you can easily connect you HDD via this cable and using the Xplorer software show it browsing the HDD files/folders like a normal drive.  They also state you can swap files to and from this.  Is this correct???

If this is the case couldn't this interface be used to extract a clone from the HDD outside of using WINHEX?

Yeah you can clone it all day long and get a 100% image of the drive byte for freaking byte BUT you missing the most vital piece of the whole freaking puzzle the hash that is generated by the system level components of the drive.

ya i dont know much about the lingo here on this bored but im trying to pick it up. i read before (in this thread) that you cannot add/write files to the hdd. if thats true then how come we can copy saves to it? maybe we can look into a game save crash. (i.e. Mechwarrior for xbox1). also has anybody found out where the dashboard is located in the 360? its obviously not on the hdd. anyways just thought i'd throw my thoughts into this thread too. good luck guys.

Quick Question

Couldn't you use one of the various Xbox 360 Hard Drive to PC (USB) adapters on the market (or connect hard drive directly); then copy the system files to a new, larger hard drive; and then use the new, larger hard drive??? After switching them out of the hard drive enclosure of course.

Or is the hard drive partitioned into two sections, 14GB and 6GB, where the system files are encrypted and hidden on the 6GB partition?

[ecko240sxi]

what about norton ghost? would that be able to copy the HDD on the 360 and creat a backup?

[andi_06]

Don't take this the wrong way, since I'm no professional either but if your knowledge is limited please don't post things like "we can use norton ghost" or we can use buffer overflows, if you had any understanding at all of the system you would understand just how complicated it will be to do any hacking, the firmware mod was luck, ms stuffed up.
