From Stock to Full JTAG - Part 4 - Testing, FSD Indexer, Auto-Booting FSD.

Part four finishes up the series with assigning Freestyle Dash to a Hard Drive, testing loading a Xbox 360 ISO from a USB external hard drive, loading a XBLA game, loading a SNES emulator and ROM, changing to a new FSD skin, running FSD Indexer to add content to the dashboard, and injecting launch.xex into the NAND to auto-boot FSD on boot.

I hope you've enjoyed the guide, and that the knowledge you gained from these videos may go on to help many other modders.

theres no such thing as flashing jtag with usb isnt there ?

[QuackMasterDan]

@RodneyHalo3

There is, however LPT is the most common and cheapest method. Then again, downloading a 512MB NAND via LPT can take anywhere from 5 to 30 hours per dump depending on your computer. For a 512MB dump, you can just use -r 256 and that's fine (The dash only takes up the first 64MB + some extra blocks)

It's called a JTAG USB SPI tool. Just google it. I didn't put raw wiring into the guide, since it assumes you already have your wiring method done. Hope that helps.

Whats your gamertag?

[QuackMasterDan]

@HaloHamstur

I don't like Xbox Live, as I for multiplayer I only play online PC games (CounterStrike Source, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead 2). I like modding 360s and 360 single player games (Mass Effect 1!), but really dislike playing on Live due to so many jerks, and the lack of teamwork in team-based games. I don't have a Live gamertag, and the system stays offline.

@QuackMasterDan ok... I got it... I've ordered my "ordinance" and in a lil over 3 days from now i will try my hand. Ty for your info. You have helped me buttloads...

[JacobCain86]

@QuackMasterDan Ty for introducing me to EFNets #freeboot too btw... extremely cool of you.

[JacobCain86]

@QuackMasterDan WTShit? Thank you soo much... you just saved me hours/days of research time... i just found some Very up to date "techniques" thanks to your words here... TY :)

[QuackMasterDan]

@JacobCain86

Persistence, the answers do exist, somewhere on the internet. If you truly get stuck, look for EFNets #freeboot. That's excellent that you're getting started on modding, this video is very old now, the current method is the Reset Glitch Hack. I have yet to make a video on it (need a spare box XD). Take it slow, don't get angry. As long as you have a backup of the NAND, unless you step on the motherboard, you can always restore to try again. Good luck!

@QuackMasterDan " If you want to become a modder, you'll need to be able to teach yourself with google." I love that line. I say the same thing but replace the word modder with, well almost anything. I'm just starting to learn. I have aquired 4 xboxs b4 09 and am wanting to jtag but still learning the process & "Theory" Any tips? If not wish me luck... :)

[MrCrashReboot]

fantastic tutorial QMD, you've really done your homework, thanks for sharing your knowledge on this, peace and happy hacking

@TheProject118

That isn't the kernel number your giving me.

The system info file is like this: D:2.0.9199.0 – k:2.0.9199.0(BK:2.0.1888.0)

You're giving me BK, base kernel, the original kernel that the operating system is based on. The number you need is K:2.0.XXXX.0. You've got a slim, which is manufactured after August 2009, so no, your system can't be JTAG'd. If you want to become a modder, you'll need to be able to teach yourself with google.

Kick ass tut man!

Brilliant tutorial dude, I was having trouble trying to get arcade titles to work and cover art etc but this really helped me. Thanks!
