Hi,
I have modded several Xbox 1.5 dash: 5659 models, using the font exploit.
After hot swapping the harddisk, I uploaded the fonts, BusyBox Xbox Linux, raincoat with Xecuter bios, and a downgraded dash... don't know which version, but the mapname is 'xboxdashdata.1012A700'.
After rebooting, the font exploit crashed the downgraded dash and then starts BusyBox Linux, which opens a telnet client at port 23.
Connecting to the xbox, using telnet on my laptop, I have flashed the BIOS with the Xecuter bios.
Off cource, this is only possible after soldering the 3 open pins on the motherboard, in order to make the bios writeable.
Well, some of you guys will understand my story, and the workaroud.
Here's my question:
CAN I do the EXACT same trick with a 5713 Dash version Xbox??? With the EXACT same software I'm using now???
Thank you,
MP

Depends. The dash version is irrevelant (to a point). It's the kernel version. The new 1.6 box tsop is not writeable
-
you cannot downgrade the dashboard on a 5713 kernel.
-
So the 5713 kernel has this new 'protection feature' that it will first check the dashboard version, before it continues the boot procedure, right?
Damn... M$ finally came up with a 'non-modchip exploit' protection i guess.
Checking the dashboard version is very logical and easy... but can it be manipulated?
-
The kernel's checking the certificate date of dashboard .xbe's and enforcing that they can be no earlier than 5659's. (This has been circumvented by using non-dashboard .xbe's as bootstraps instead eh. ;) )
