I can confirm that the hack that was announced is fully working. This is a quick test setup but it clearly shows the console directly boots into Xell. Doesn't look too spectacular, but people who know what this means will know it is!

I used a Cygnos v2 sample i got (thanks!) and flashed the hack on the cygnos NAND. The original NAND was untouched. I can now boot either the hack or my NXE dash :-)
I opened a virgin box for that. No DVD hack, nothing. Just flashed it onto that Cygnos NAND and bingo...

my congratulations to all involved!

GO ZOOB!

I thought they said you didn't need a modchip for the hack?

theevilhacker63 · « **Reply #3 on:** August 12, 2009, 08:38:00 PM »

release the hack already! this is getting truly annoying.....if it's at any stage in development just release it and let the people decide what to do with it!

maybe your stuck and maybe someone else can further your work.. your doing nothing by holding onto it.

you don't ... u can prolly also flash the hack directly on the motherboard NAND ... but no dual booting (Original kernel/Dash >< Hack) then.

Awesome!!

I didnt understand the relation between this and the new update that cannot be hacked. Isnt that a dual boot? why the new update make everything stop working if you have the other chip from dual boot?

That look like a really old 360

This is GREAT news, I can't wait, I just fixed some consoles to that I could do this mod.

that's exactly what I was thinking if your booting off a completely different nand chip then why does the new update make it all magically not work? unless the update changes how stuff is initialized but I still don't see how that would be since it's all stored in flash..??

unless I'm all wrong on this unless there only talking about consoles with only one nand chip which is the majority of consoles out there since this new Cygnos v2 chip just came out. but still if you have that it should be safe to update to the new dash and still be able to run this hack...right?

my guess is you need a pre-8xxx kernel from your 360 to create this hack ... but tbh I dont know ... we'll have to wait for more info to be released.

Because the new update rewrites the bootloader. And that fixes this exploit. The bootloader is most likely not updated in all the updates. And in the latest update is when they patched the exploit that they are using.

This is the question of the day, we are still asking this amongst ourselves and not quite sure on the answer. Since 2BL is in the NAND, and you can add a second (or more!) NAND via either Cygnos or an XD card mod, it would seem that you can have a completely functional dual-boot setup, including access to live. I'm not completely sure on this, but it seems plausible.

Bootloader = 2BL = in the NAND
The problem would be running a second kernel, since you would need CPU key, which you cant get if you already updated to 849x. However, if you wait until this hack is completely released, and get your cpu key + a second NAND, you should be able to have a dual-kernel setup. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Exactly my idea.. as long as you have a second nand and your cpu key.. you should be fine by updating once you get the hack. .. but if we don't have the hack none of this matters.

Yeah I'm not updating I've got plenty of 360 to play on live I think I can wait it out I dont care about them all I do plan on making a dual flash so that I can use both on one console.
