All Xbox360 DVD-ROM's to date can now be hacked

Here is a quick visual of how we are extracting the firmware from the new Lite-On 83850c v2 and 9x series drives.


Do not try this unless you have attempted successfully multiple times on a drive that you dont really care about.

Noteworthy also:  Some commercial key extraction devices are confirmed to do damage to some of these drives when used with jungle flasher.....be warned.  If in doubt get a pro installer to do it for you, at least then they will buy you a new one or fix it if they make a mistake or the hardware fails in the modding proccess.

Running homebrew and retail games on the Xbox 360

LittleStevie has been doing a bit of work getting thing up and running with loading retail games imported games and homebrew software directly from an internal sata HDD on the exploitable version of the Xbox360.

We will post some pictures and more detail on this soon.  Stay Tuned.

In the mean time... a timely reminder..........if you have not run the Xbox on Live or accepted a game update in the last few months then don't if you ever want this on your console.  This hack does not work on the newer dashboards (inc the ones that are shipped with new consoles).

The new model Xbox360's (Jasper+2) has hit the Australian retail shelves.

With lower power consumption, more efficient processors and a built in memory card, this unit will likely prove to be the most reliable Xbox360 yet. I sincerely doubt that the RRoD rate within 12 month would be anything close to previous models, in fact estimating at least 50-100 times more reliable would not be an exaggeration. Get this model!

Peeps will need to note that there seems to be a very high chance that the drive will be on of the “un-moddable” (translation = more difficult and invasive to mod) lite-on drive, along with no chance of a motherboard level J-Tag hack for now. The new drives can now be hacked, however you are going to need some fairly leet soldering skills (like me).
