Request for information on Xbox 360 Slim flashing

Post by strblast »

Automatically translated from French.

Good evening,
My warranty just ended and I'd like to flash my console. According to several searches on my console's model and my drive:
MFR:07/27/2010
batch: no:1039XX
Model no: 1439
And according to all that my drive should be a liteon 0225 (to be confirmed once disassembled). The last update has been done.
The problem is that I'm a huge noob and I'm completely lost. There are so many ways of doing it, so many methods.
That's why I'm reaching out to you for guidance. At first I was planning to get an X360key but given the price, I'll see about that later. So I'd like to go towards flashing my drive. But apparently, for this model I can't just plug my drive into my pc. I need other accessories. Could you please guide me? Knowing that I'm looking for the least expensive system possible. I'll also mention that I don't know any professional who could do it for me, and if it's really too much stuff to buy, I'd certainly consider heading down to the Paris region to find a shop.
Thanking you in advance

think that if you hack your console, no more live. also, have you thought about the reset glitch hack‎?

Apparently you can still access xbox live but it's risky. I don't know if I can disable the internet connection when I want to play? As for the reset glitch hack‎, I don't know what that is. I'll take a look on gogol to find out.

Hi strblast.

If you have no real knowledge, it won't be easy to guide you but I'll do my best to answer you properly.

If your xbox has had the latest update then your drive is also up to date. If you had a 9504 drive, it's switched to 0272.

There are 3 ways to flash your drive, they're more or less expensive and depending on the version even more complicated.

There's 1 type of drive (lite-on) but with different firmwares.

- The 9504 (that one was relatively simple and not too expensive to flash, but since you've updated it's screwed) ---> Switch to 0272
- The 0272, 0225, 0401, 1071.

After that it depends on the chipset on your pcb. There are 2 of them, the MXIC and the Winbond.

There's a way to tell them apart, the MXIC has a 03 at the start and the Winbond has a 05.

For MXIC chipsets:

- The Russian hack
- The trident from Team Maximus
- The Sputnik 360 from TX
- A PCB swap for the TX one

For Winbond chipsets:

- The "Kamikaze Unlock" method by Gérémia
- A PCB swap for the TX one

Then on the hardware side (I'll list some, this can vary depending on your case)

- X360 USB Pro ( ~ 50€ )
- Replacement PCB for the DG-16D4S drive ( ~ 50€ )
- Sputnik 360 Flash Xbox slim drive ( ~ 20€ )

Here's the Xecuter team's hardware. There's also the Maximus team's hardware. (After that it's a matter of choice).

Personally, I recommend the pcb swap. It's more expensive, but you're sure not to mess up your shot that way.

So basically, you need the X360USB and the replacement pcb. Roughly 110/120€ with shipping fees depending on the hardware sales sites.

The best option for you, if you have no particular knowledge, is maybe to have it flashed by a flasher.

As for RGH, if you have no soldering knowledge, etc... (and it also requires quite a bit of equipment) I don't recommend it, but if you go for that option, I can guide you.

And otherwise like Oops said, if you flash, say bye bye to live.... Strongly discouraged, because sooner or later you risk a ban.

Happy to help if you have other questions ;)

at the start of what?


As for live...

with a flashed drive or an emulated drive (x360key, etc...), live is possible but it's not without risk of a ban sooner or later. Maybe less so with the x360key option which lets you disable the chip and thus have a clean console or nearly so since nothing prevents there from being some trace anyway.

With jtag or rather RGH (reset glitch hack) (reading ripped isos (space saving); dlc and xbla games on hdd) you can play on live but not officially. only via xlink kai as a workaround for the checks that also go through this system. but watch out it's misery... there are lots of cheaters :evil: (cheat)

Thanks to you Ovaler for your explanations. That's pretty much what I'd seen on various sites but I wanted to be sure. As for the reset glitch hack‎, let's forget it, too much of a hassle and too complicated for me. As for your advice and if there's no soldering it's doable but it's true that the best for me would be to go through a flasher.
Otherwise given the cost, I was torn with an x360key (about 90€). Which method would you recommend between what you explained to me and the Xkey?

Ah that's a free choice for everyone. Personally, I don't especially know the drive emulators so the x360key in this case but this team follows their gem closely and it looks very promising to me. Otherwise as said above it's a matter of cost, live... etc! Only you can make that choice.

honestly I'd forget the drive hack, then I'd go with the RGH (all games, dlc and xbla. space saving on the hdd, gorgeous interface) then the x360key ;) anyway, that's just my personal opinion.

On the other hand, if the results and the risks are the same.....why not go with the simplest option, at least for me. Anyway I don't really have a choice, since I don't know any flasher and I'm not planning on going down to paris, I'm forced to manage on my own. I'll wait for the x360key to become more easily available.

alone, the x360key would be fine if you didn't have to retrieve the dvd key :?

RGH is the most advantageous I think and you can always use the mail to send your xbox to a flasher.

which region are you in?

you wait for an update from the teams, you use the tutorials to do it yourself with your own little fingers (and a usb key) like a grown-up. no more need for a flasher ;)

Ok, that's cool, do you use the controllers' usb port? And through those same ports, can I plug in a hdd? even if it's a slim 4g version?
If that's the case I'll think about it seriously.
Edit: Apparently you have to use the rear usb ports. Makes sense. Also, is the Reset Glitch Hack the same thing as the Glitch360Key?

yes for the usb port. otherwise there's a way to put an internal hdd. either an official one or a modded one or even with an adapter (bought in japan from delextreme for instance) and a compatible hdd but hdd prices have gone through the roof lately. internal is faster because it's sata.

True that with an internal hdd it would be better.

Yes Reset Glish Hack. RGH ;)


and no an internal hdd is better but surely more expensive currently with the hdd crisis.
I might be saying something dumb but internally the hdd size is limited. 320Go max as far as I know. But not sure that this limitation, valid for official, also applies to jtag or rgh since the system is hacked :twisted: .

I'm going to go with an x360key anyway. Update-wise it's simple and I'll be able to access Xbox live with the risks that entails. I found a serious site that could do that for me. But is there a way to disable the connection to avoid any problem if you don't want to have access to Xbox live?

I was talking about internal... I think you can put an HDD bigger than 320Go in but it won't be recognized under the official dash.
