How to get started with Xbox 360

Post by maniwii »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello everyone,

I just got a slim xbox second-hand made in 06.2010. the console is currently stock with all the latest updates done.
I'd like to be able to play backups on it but I don't know where to start.
Could you give me the steps to follow and the links to the tutorials to get started from A to Z?
is there soldering to be done? if so, not being an expert in soldering, would you have addresses in paris to get clean work done?
What budget should I plan for doing everything?
Could I go on xbox live safely?

Hi!

To be able to read backups with a 360, you'll need to open up the console to identify your DVD drive.
Once identified, you'll need to flash the drive and depending on the model, you can either go through a flasher, or buy the hardware (CK, probe, etc..) to be able to do it yourself.

There are also drive emulators (Xkey, Wasabi and boxzii) which require a hard drive.

And lastly the glitch, a chip that lets you have an alternative dashboard, launch homebrews and store backups on HDD.

So the first thing anyway is to open the drive and identify it because for these 3 solutions, you need the dvd key of the drive which is contained in the drive's eeprom.

Alright I just checked my drive and it's a liteon 9504.
I read that it's flashable. But what should I do now?

Should I go get it flashed? I also read I could put a gleatch, but which is better? Should I do both?

What I want, is to be able to put my backups on an external HDD and be able to play on live.
What should I do?

Sorry for my ignorance but it's not easy to pick up a console's hack mid-way since there's a lot of information all at once.
Thanks for taking the time to teach noobs like me. :)

Play on live with your games on the hdd, well, that can work, but expect to get banned one day or another.

The drive emulators like the Xkey, wasabi and Boxzii, advertise it but don't guarantee it, because the xbox 360 and its updates keep adding new protections every time.

To flash your drive, you'll need equipment, I'd advise you instead to go through a flasher in your area.

Ok, so if I understand correctly, I need to get my xbox flashed and then buy a x360key?
Or is just the flash enough?

OK
so to sum up.
Flash = Backup on DVD with high risk of ban on live
Flash + X360key = Backup on DVD and HDD and possibility of live (with risk of ban but more or less controlled)
Gleatch = Backup on HDD without live

Well I think I got the gist of it. All I have left to do is get my xbox flashed and buy myself a x360key and a hard drive of 1T or less. Total cost of the operation 3 million euros. Well, actually 200 ~ 250 euros.

Thanks guys for these explanations.

I'd say xkey or dvd backup same ban risk since nothing is ever sure, it's the cat and mouse game.

unofficial live possible on glitch via xlinkai but sometimes there's too many cheaters :? :62:

the best, as mamule said, is a clean box for a few live games bought from time to time on one side and a glitched xbox360 for all the other games

Mmm ok but actually I'm facing a dilemma here.
clearly, I'm not going to buy myself a 2nd xbox, but I was thinking of putting my ps3 on OFW and my xbox on CFW, because right now it's the opposite.
What would you advise? To keep my ps3 on CFW and my xbox stock, or do the opposite?
Would I have more options with the ps3 or the xbox?

It's up to you to decide which one you plan to play with the most and whether you want to enjoy live .... Also you need to look at the exclusives specific to each console! I don't know what the other members' opinion will be, but personally I'd tell you it's a personal choice ....

And once you have your xbox, depending on what you want to do keep in mind that right now some sites are offering the X360 Key V2 at 75€ .... It's a promo!

Oh actually, I think that what's best for me, is to leave my xbox stock and enjoy live and buy myself the few games I like on live, originals.
and buy myself a Trublue dongle for the PS3 to play the latest games without live.
that would only cost me ~ 50€.
Thanks everyone for enlightening me, I know what to do now.
If you have other opinions, I'm open to any suggestion.

No it's ~ 40€ a year, but now I'm going to put 60€ into a trublue, 40€ into my xbox live subscription. it'll still be cheaper than flashing and buying a x360key. and I think by next year the ps4 or the xbox720 will be out and then I'll really break open my piggy bank.

The future PS4 isn't expected before 2013, 2014 and same for the 720 (surely with a cloud computing system so hacking on those machines, it's going to be tough.)

Also, it's not certain there will be a PS4 since Sony is in a bad financial position.
