Xbox 360 JTAG Tutorial - Part 1

Watch in HD.

In this video series, I will be demonstrating how the JTAG modification is performed on an Xbox 360. This tutorial assumes an intermediate level knowledge of electronics.

DISCLAIMER:

If as a result of following this tutorial, you render any Xbox 360 damaged and/or inpoerable, I accept no responsibility or liability for your loss. You follow this guide entirely at your own risk.

Please take note of the following requirements to complete this project:

- A PC or laptop with an LPT port.
- A CAT5 cable.
- An LPT printer cable or male connector.
- A soldering iron.
- Reasonably good soldering skills.
- An Xbox 360 with a Xenon motherboard and a dashboard revision below the 8xxx series.
- Torx 8 and 10 screwdrivers, and optionally, a flathead screwdriver.

To identify your motherboard and eventally determine the viability of your console, you can refer to the diagram below:

http://www.360-hq.com/images/tutorials/uploads/1236393270_2_xbox360identifypo...

If your board-side power connector matches the first image and you do not have a HDMI port, you have a Xenon motherboard.

Please do not ask me about dashboard downgrades, if there is some way to apply the JTAG modification to an updated console or assistance with anything pertaining to online cheating (10th prestige). The former two are impossible, latter will NEVER happen.

To find your dashboard revision number, choose "System Settings" under the "My Xbox" section of your dashboard. In the new window, select "Console Settings" and finally "System Info.".

The dashboard revision number of a console is displayed in the following format:

"2.0.XXXX.0" (Where X represents the revision in question)

If your dashboard revision number begins with any digit higher than "7" or is more than four digits long, you will not be able to apply the JTAG modification under ANY circumstances.

Any console which has been connected to Xbox LIVE since June 2009 or manufactured after that date can be assumed to be unsuitable for this modification.

Q&A:

Q. Does this method still work?
A. Read this description again.

Q. Is there another/easier method?
A. No.

Q. Can I use a modified console online if I play only original game discs and do not violate the rules?
A. No. A ban will be incurred if you sign in to Xbox LIVE using a JTAG-modified console.

Q. Is it possible to permanently unban a JTAG-modified console?
A. No.

Q. Can I perform this modification on "X" console?
A. Read this description again.

Q. Is this modification reversible?
A. Yes.

@TopmanSte

Lmfao hacking?... what do you mean? Nobody brought xbox live down to its knees yet? if you're talking about nerds hacking games then be specifc fanboy. and modding doesn't mean a damn thing because once they sign into xbox they are banned for life. microsoft watches people like a hawk, unlike sony. im never leaving my CC info on that garbage network.
