hello, I just got my old 360 out of the dust because it was RROD, I did the towel trick, and miracle it works

What do I need to do to get it working again with new games?

When I used to burn games back then I always got them already patched wave 3 AP25 (I think)

it's on version (in the current settings) 2.0.12625.0

it's not connected to the internet, I had flashed the drive to 1.6 I believe.

So thank you in advance for your answers ;)

Your Xbox is about to start rrod-ing again soon.
The towel trick is a massive load of nonsense.

1/ Open the xbox (you'll find tutorials on the forum)
2/ Take out the motherboard
3/ Remove the heatsinks
5/ clean the GPU and CPU to remove the thermal paste
6/ apply new thermal paste

That way it might last a bit longer.

To do better.

Change the original fan https://www.arcalide.com/whisper-legacy ... p-406.html
Fit an anti-rrod kit https://www.siliteo.fr/xecuter-xbox-360 ... ro-ii.html

After all that you'll be able to flash it to lT2.0

ah yes I forgot to mention that before doing the towel trick, I had indeed already done steps 1 to 6 :) replacing the thermal paste and doing a full clean of the beast's insides, precisely after an RROD, but even after all that the RROD stayed.

so I left it in a corner until I saw the towel trick, so I did it and it came back on.

as for the kits, I'll think about it, since I don't have a visa card etc.. it's going to be complicated, and in belgium, shops of that kind don't exist :/

Edit: otherwise after watching the video, it's exactly what I did :) except that in the end, I still had the RROD ^^'

Actually, all you had to do was put the xbox back into operation, of course the rrod was still there.

You'd turn it back on, leave it running for 30 min, turn it off, turn it back on 5 min later and no more rrod.

You should know that the xbox heats up and gets clogged with dust quickly (so no console shut away in a closet) and no 8-hour gaming sessions because it doesn't like that.

If your xbox is back, great, but does it blow a lot of air? (like a real blower)

If so, it will start again quickly.

I've owned an rrod'd xbox since january, I fitted a whisper fan and an anti-rrod kit, and it's been running perfectly since.

But I only play a max of 3 hours with it.

+1 for Kalidor's explanations, and also for having had an xbox that got a ROD, after buying the kit it runs perfectly ....

Saturday night with 3 other buddies, we had a "party" that turned into an all-nighter .... We played from 8pm to 10:30am ... There, we really broke some records ... really nothing to report, so my €19 investment in the kit, I really don't regret it.

Actually in terms of airflow it makes the same noise it's always made, what does make a ton of noise on the other hand is the drive when it's loading games/dvds, it's huge and with the disc's speed you can feel the wind coming out of the drive's opening

also, since the first flash, the game loads (max speed bvvvvttt) then all of a sudden "clack" as if the disc stopped dead and it goes back to max noise.

and also, because of that, the drive no longer opens automatically, I have to fiddle with the gears to trigger the opening...


I think I'm going to buy myself a new one x)
