Any Xbox 360 Can Now Be Hacked with Just a USB Flash Drive

They’re dirt cheap. $20-$40 USD
My brothers might be in my parents basement still. I wonder if it even still works.

Jailbreak.
Important to note: this exploit is not persistent, meaning you’ll have to redo it anytime the console is shut down or crashes. The 360 doesn’t suspend, so unless you leave it on you’ll be doing the exploit a lot.
In addition it’s only successful 30% of the time, so you have to try the exploit multiple times each time the console boots.
Great progress though - hopefully it leads to something more permanent.
Good to know. Yeah, definitely a great start.

With its capacative power button and where I have it placed, my dogs are really really bad about hitting it with their noses and powering it on/off

So it takes up to 15 minutes to apply (if successful) and has to be done every time you start your XBox 360. It's great that there's no hardware changes involved so even I could make changes, but at every boot?

Hopefully they find a way to apply the fix permanently. I just did 2 RGH3 mods over the weekend which is the easiest hardware mod for the 360 and it was more challenging than I expected.

2025 is the year of the X360. First the decomp tools, now this. Maybe we can even expect a serious attempt at emulating the system on PC? Xenia is still not good, unfortunately.

Doesn't the Xbox 360 have a sleep mode? Basically you'd only need to do it again if the power goes out.

Reminds me of early 3DS hacking and CFWs. Don't worry, we'll get there eventually. The fact it can do this at all is a major step.

I'm gonna have to buy a 360 now to jailbreak and rip its games.
Been doing that for PS1-4, GC, Wii, Wii U, Switch, and OG Xbox. Now it's time for the 360 to join the ranks.You can already rip 360 games.
Using a PC you just need to make a .iso of the disk using whatever method or software you prefer.
You can also do it with an umodded 360 console.
The trick isn't ripping the games, it's playing them. That's what the hacks like RGH and now this software are for. There's also emulation like Xenia and XenonRecomp.

I have one of the OG white ones but never use it out of fear for the red ring, any shot this will help prevent that?

Kind of not really
You can overclock the fans but you really would want to do a hardware fix

Anything can be hacked if you have physical access to it

Now you reminded me of the 3ds homebrew scene. It was so fun. Its amazing how active it was as well. But now its at the point where you can homebrew one by scanning a qr code, no need to buy a specific game or special cartridge.

About xenia not being good...
I know my experience is anecdotal and ofc xenia is not perfect but I played through Forza Horizon 1 and Red Dead Redemption with almost no issues.
I'd say it's a bit better than "not good"Probably meant in comparison to where ps3 emulation is currently. I agree, xenia has made amazing progress. For the "lol 360 go brrrrr" folks it has a long way to go still.

MVG says not likely since the bootloader would need an exploit as well... Which currently doesn't have a soft mod related exploit

If it's been rooted, why can't it just go all the way? There has to be a layer where the read-only hardware has to talk to critical read-write files.
