I will be going over how to install XBR and Xell onto your Xbox 360. Installing XBR allows you to do many things such run unsigned code(homebrew), install any sized hard drive(even 3.5in desktop hdds!), ftp into your box, and custom dashboards. There are endless possibilities with being able to run any code you want. You are able to modify Xbox 360 games to run custom maps and cheats.

You can also launch games off the hard drive without a disc. It should cost you around $5 in parts, maybe even free if you have the parts already.

Step 1: Finding Out If Your Xbox Is Exploitable. Tools Soldering iron Solder Computer with LPT port. Parts 1x 25 pin d-sub connector (male or female depending on which kind of cable you have) Digikey # 225FE-ND 1x 25 pin d-sub cable (lpt cable) You can actually skip the cable if you buy a male connector and make your wires long enough to extend from your xbox to the computer Digikey # AE9863-ND 3x 330 ohm resistors (only for Xenon motherboards) Digikey # P330BBCT-ND 1x 1n4148 switching diode (if you have Zephyr, Falcon, Opus or a Jasper get 3x of these) Refer to the image below to tell what kind of 360 you have. There has been a new update to the standard wiring you should use for the JTAG wiring on Xenon's which requires just 2x 1n4148 diodes. I've never used this method before so I can't really help as much if you have problems. But I would suggest going with it instead since it is supposed to be electrically superior and uses less parts so less room for failure I guess. Step 3: Soldering the Cable.

Soldering is generally pretty straight forward. You actually don't need any solder for the motherboard end, as the holes all have solder in them. So you just need need to heat it up and slide the wire through. I suggest using at least a 30w iron as a 15w will have trouble getting the lead free solder hot enough.

All resistors on the connector are optional, it's just to prevent damage as some ports are 5v and the motherboard is 3.3v. Here are some bigger pictures Recently there has been a new way to wire Xenons that is supposed to be better, I have never tried it but I have included the diagram on how to wire it. Step 4: Dumping the Nand. Download the files (I forgot to include nandpro get that ) Extract the rar, and open up the nandpro folder install port95nt.exe (if running vista or 7 set it for compatibility mode for xp.) Plug your Xbox 360 in, but don't power it on. Plug the lpt cable in Pop open cmd and change directories to your nandpro folder type nandpro lpt: -r16 nand.bin It will start to dump, this will take 35 minutes Type nandpro lpt: -r16 nand2.bin and dump it a second time. If during the dump it has trouble reading blocks, don't worry. You only have a problem if can't read block after block, which means something went wrong in the middle of the dump and you have to restart it again.

If you are having issues having nandpro detecting it, go over and double check all of your soldering. If you skipped out on the diode, try adding one, and just restarting your computer has fixed the issue quite a few times for me. You also want to make sure your cable is short as possible. Step 5: Testing If It's Exploitable. You're going to want to open up degraded included in the file pack.

Go to settings and under 1BL key make sure it says DD88AD0C9ED669E7B56794FB68563EFA and is checked. You are also going to want to change file system start to 39. Open up your nand dump and look at the CB version If your CB is the following you're in luck! Xenon: 888, 1902, 1903, 1920,1921, 8192 Zephyr: 4558, 4580 Falcon: 5761, 5766, 5770 Jasper: 6712, 6723 Jasper Arcade (256/512): 6723 or lower is Exploitable If you are unsure if yours is exploitable, you can also check if CD = 8453, if it does you're out of luck.

Step 6: Extracting the Keyvault, Injecting and Flashing XBR. Reassemble your 360, and boot your 360 with the DVD drive ejected.

Or if you don't have a DVD drive you can plug in a wired controller into the back usb port. You should see a blue screen pop up and whole bunch of things fly.

When it says CPU fuses, your either going to want to write really fast or snap a picture. Fuseset 3 and 5 or 4 and 6 is your cpu key. So if it said fuseset 03: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fuseset 05: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy My CPU key would be xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy It should 32 characters. Step 8: Extras. I included quite a few extra programs in the.rar file.

A lot of them will come in handy with your Xbox 360 homebrew experience. I'll be going over what each program is good for. 360 Flash Tool This tool allows you to view all the files in your nand and your keyvault. You need your CPU key for this. KeyVault Modder This allows you to modify the region code, or what your DVD drive key is.

If your Xbox 360 DVD drive is missing or you burned yours out, this is the tool you need to recover it! You can either change the key to someone simple as just 1's or what it originally was. X360GameHack Since you can run any code now, you can patch.xex game files.

With this tool you can remove region coding from games and many other things. XBLA Unlocker This will allow you to unlock any DLC, or XBLA games you may have that are demos and that are signed to a certain console. You can download game demos on the Xbox marketplace and unlock it with this tool. Xbox Image Browser This tool allows you to view the content of an Xbox 360 Iso image. What I use this tool for is extracting the files from the iso then putting them on my xbox instead of the iso.

Xbox 360 iso's are zeroed out to 7 gb or so no matter how big the game is. A game with 1gb of files could be wasting 6gb of space. YarisSwap This program allows you to modify the console ID on DLC, and XBLA games to run on any console.

Xbins This is a xbins autoconnect tool. Use this to download the latest files. Freestyle Dash This is my favorite Xbox 360 custom dashboard. It includes DVD ripping and FTP support. It is one of the most progressing dashboards that is constantly being updated with new features. Quickboot This tool creates containers from xex files that can be launched from the dashboard.

Xexloader This allows you to navigate your hdd on your xbox and launch.xex files directly. It also has an ftp server running in the background also.

I included 2 versions, one is the ISO which you just burn to a CD and put in your xbox, the other is a XBLA file that you put in your content folder on your hard drive and launch. Step 9: Installing a 3.5 in Desktop HDD. This requires you to cut the end off a sata cable and solder it under the HDD connector. Wiring goes as follows Pin 1: SATA Signal GND Pin 2: SATA Signal A+ Pin 3: SATA Signal A- Pin 4: SATA Signal GND Pin 5: SATA Signal B+ Pin 6: SATA Signal B- Pin 7: SATA Signal GND The side of the sate cable with the writing goes up, and you start left from right. You only have to solder the white shielded cables inside as these are the data cables. Just wire the rest of the ground wires some where else.

Where to get my 12v? There are many spots on the Xbox motherboard where you can get 12v of power from, I picked the power connector on the bottom of the board as I'm not soldering onto any other connectors or anything. How to wire up the sata power connector Yellow: 12v Red: 5v Black: GND Hard drives have been tested up to 2tb and worked successfully. Step 10: My Avatar Is Only a Silhouette!

Usually your avatar will be a blank silhouette and it will tell you, you need to install an update to use them. All you need to do is download update file, and place it on a USB flash drive, and plug it into the back usb port of your xbox. Your 360 should detect it and install it. Make sure you extract it first and the root of the drive is the $SystemUpdate folder.

You can also burn it to a CD to update. If you're paranoid you will brick your console because microsoft is out to get you and ruin your homebrew, you can look at the picture about removing the r6t3 resistor to keep from having your fuses blown.

I also provided a mediafire mirror in case the microsoft one goes down.

If you want to hack your Xbox 360 and your dashboard version is over 7371 then the only way that you can hack it is with the reset glitch hack (RGH). When I started looking for a way to hack my 360 I heard about the jtag method only to find out that my dashboard was newer then 7371, but in early September a hardware exploit was developed know as the RGH. Basically what the RGH does is send a single to the processor that tells it to reset. Usually it would do exactly that however if the single is sent when it is booting up it allows us to run unsigned code. To perform this RGH and utilize the exploit what you will need to do is read the NAND, install the modchip, write the NAND and installing your dash board of choice (i will be using xexmenu).

To do this you will need: modchip (i will be using the coolrunner from team-xecuter) coolrunner LPT program cable male LPT port (printer cable) (x1) wires (x12 this will be your LPT cable so make them long) computer with a female LPT port a program to read the NAND (i used nandprob 2 you can find it ) soldering iron solder Jtag tool (software) 360gcprog (software) flux (not needed but HIGHLY recommended).Disclaimer: I am not liable for any damage that may be caused to your property or self from following the instructions in this tutorial. Soldering irons can be very hot and cause burns, as well as possibly break your Xbox 360. Opening your xbox 360's shell will void its warranty. now then lets get started. First you need to completely take apart you 360 there are plenty of guides to do that so i wont cover it here. When the case is removed it should look like the picture. I highly suggest that you take off the metal case it sits in so that you can access the bottom of the motherboard.

Step 1: Checking What Motherboard You Have. To read the NAND, which is basically the Boot Sector of the Xbox 360, you will need to solder cables to the motherboard in very specific spots.

To find those points use the diagram in the first pictures, make sure you find it on the xbox, and flip the motherboard upside down making sure you can see the bottom of the points that you are going to solder to. I suggest flipping the motherboard upside down because the points are small bumps of solder removing any need to add external solder. I also put the resistor leg on the motherboard because they were easier to solder in to place. Step 3: Reading the NAND. So if your soldering connections are strong and not overlapping anywhere then we are ready to read the NAND. Open and install nandprob and restart your computer. After it has booted up again, open cmd and navigate to where the nandprob 2.0 folder is found and enter into the folder after you are inside type in (nandpro.exe lpt: -r16 nand1.bin) without the brackets.

After the first one is done hit the up arrow key and change the nand1.bin part of the command to nand2.bin and dump the nand again. DUMPING MORE THEN ONCE IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT. Once you are done dumping all the times you want compare the files with total commander.you NEED to have two or more matching dumps before moving on.

It is alright to have 1 or 2 bad blocks in the NAND just so long as all the dumps are the same. Step 4: Checking If Your Xbox Is Exploitable.

If you have a slim skip this step to make sure that your xbox is exploitable the you need to know the CB version. Check the number in the 2BL CB field. The CB needs to be one of the following to be exploitable. Zephyr: 4578, 4579 Falcon and Opus: 5771 Jasper: 6750, 6751 If the CB is not one of the numbers above, the console is not covered in this guide. Since writing this an new exploit call RGH 2.0 has made all phat Xboxs hackable was been released, However I have not had any experience with it. Now come the fun part! You get to solder the cool-runner into the actual 360.

If you can't solder small points now would be the time to get someone else to do this for you. The first picture is a complete over view and the ones after that are of my personal install.

The wires of the coolrunner are pre-tinned and cut to the perfect length for optimum glitch time (how long it takes to boot up). i would suggest just putting small amounts of flux on the wires and the motherboard, then touching the wire down and applying the soldering iron until the solder on the wire melts into place. Step 8: Write the Nand. Ok so now that you have freeboot installed you can start up your xbox and if it boots then everything is good so you can unsolder the nand cable and pack up your xbox back in the case and put it where it would normally go, everything will be done with usb from now on. You need to get a usb stick and format it with the xbox. Download the program i have uploaded and go for the files for xex menu. Open up the program you downloaded and follow the images.

Note: your xbox will not boot to xexmenu you will still have to go though the MS dashboard and launch it. Although it is possible to make it so it will boot to it i am not including the instructions in this 'able. Okay so you have an iso that you.ahem. Made and you want to play it.

It is actually very simple to do. Just go and download the program. Extract that sucker with 7-zip. once you have that done open it up and hit the choose iso folder button and select the folder your game is in. Choose a destination folder, make sure that your iso shows up and hit the go button. Once it is done extracting take all the files and transfer it to the xbox's harddrive or usb. Load up xexmenu and it should list your game right away. Making three dumps is the minimum required to reconstruct a dump IF you have any read errors.

I suggest you work on your soldering skills as I have personally never had issues dumping, but then again I have a background in electronics. If your dump takes A LONG time to complete AND you get differences on different spots. A shorten the wires and redo soldering spots. The best tip I can give you is to heat up the spot you are going to solder for a second or to, then apply some tin and remove the tin and iron. You always want to preheat the spot to solder on to to make the tin melt and then apply just a tiny speck extra to merge it with the tin on the wire you want to solder. I never use flux on solder spots like these, the tin you use is likely to have a resin (flux) core.

When reading nand you could have wrote that the xbox needs to have power on it, but not turned on. I tried reading the nand on two different computers. The one computer had bad blocks each time and i think i tried all bios setups. The other computer was running ECP mode in bios on the lpt cable. And that gave me the best reading.

It remapped a little bit of the nand but it worked great. (I used XNandHealer to verify the nands) On some computers when reading the nand the xbox may turn on by it self. Either in the beggining of the reading or the end but will most likely turn it self off again. And for writing the nand.

You could have added text to see what pictures are from the xbox and maybe a little text that describes what you are about to do. Had to look at other guides to figure out how to get it working.

And for the coolrunner LPT cable i used another schematic that was more simple. And i have also played with the settings menu in xexmenu. Pretty much all i done and now it runs all the games i had allready installed on the harddrive.? Download free software design soccer kit templates. What changed this you think? Is it the dashboard update or the settings thing in xexmenu? And last thing i run all the games from the normal game menu. Xexmenu does not find any games?
