InFeCtuS Modchip Adds Xbox360 Flash Mem. Access Posted by XanTium | April 3 18:48 EST | News Category: Xbox360

We received this email from Team InFeCtuS about their versatile multi-platform InFeCtuS modchip. They now made it possible for the InFeCtuS to access (read/write) the Xbox360 NAND flash (were dash/kernel/... are stored). At this moment it's not very useful for the normal end user (as downgrading the new 4552 kernel isn't possible atm due the eFuse MS blew up), but it's a cheap and easy way for developers and researchers to read/write and soon on-the-fly patch the Xbox360 NAND flash - so they can experiment as much as they want: Here in attachment the diagram to connect INFECTUS to the X360 NAND Flash.   We spoke with some hackers about a way to give a good tool to try to trick the eFUSE... right now INFECTUS is like a PROGRAMMER... in the next weeks we want to add a "patching" utility. We want to use the onboard flash of the INFECTUS to store some strings of bytes that INFECTUS can patch on-the-fly on the BIOS. The idea is that the developers will have a nice tool that can be used to store data strings inside the flash of the modchip, then tell to the FPGA to replace on-the-fly that strings when requested... The user can define what the "conditions" are to allow a patch on-the-fly, like "wait this byte and overwrite it with XXX bytes" etc...   I hope you understand our idea... it will not be so simple to do but it is possible, and with this nice tool the developers and hackers have an unbelievable and cheaper way to try what all what's impossible! FUCK THE eFUSE... and I'm sure is possible! Tomorrow a new version of the PROGRAMMER will be released with the new options to manage the NAND X360 FLASH. Official Site: www.infectus.biz

this could be interesting...

/me sees a future modchip or custom BIOS thanks to this chip...

This will be decent for the Kong exploit, but I'd like to know how a modified or patched bios is going to sneak past the hypervisor.

So looking at the picture youll need to solder 16 wires ?

Thats what they will find out.  This is huge if true  

Actually if they are going after the Efuse then the hypervisor is an afterthought no?

Hmm sounds very interesting well have to see what this may lead too
  Infectus!!!

This is nice to hear, my First 360 had that bad update crashing my system to brick status, and M$ refused to fix it (i was one of the unlucky ones)

Hopefully this little piece of loving technology can bypass that little *bad flash* someday and i can recover that system (would be nice)

[mylakerye]

dude its ridiculous how much the 360 scene is advancing - ridiculously good

Amazing, and 16 wires aint bad at all. So it's finally nice to see the FIRST ever 360 homebrew mod chip. Fair enough it can't do anything yet, but it's a step in the right direction. Congrats if it's real & not a devil360.

[seaweed]

Interesting indeed......

I Smell Something In The Air On This.  

[SRI-Sajuuk]

mmmm......Infectus. Smells like Fresh Homebrew! Just like mom use to make....

Nice Job, now lets hope we see some more progress forward from this point...every day is another day closer...
