Why you want to JTAG your XBOX 360?
If you want to run homebrew... simple enough!
In this tutorial I am going to show you how to modify your XBOX 360 to run Xell Homebrew or xbox rebooter kernel.
Tools needed
In order to finish this task, you need to prepare the following tools/components:
- A ‘hackable’ XBOX 360
- XBOX 360 USB SPI & JTAG bundle
- Solder iron, solder and solder paste.
Software needed:
- Microchip USB package (contains PDFUSSB.exe for flashing PICFLASH.hex over USB)
- PICFLASH_v3b_plus2
- NANDPro ( currently Version 2.0 d)
- Infectus NAND Checker (current Version 1.1)
- MD5 Comparison Tool (hex editors can do this)
- 360 Flash Tool ( currently Version 0.91)
- CD Info (currently Version 1b)
The benefit of using this USB SPI inteface is, it does not require any parallel port (most PCs don't have it nowdays), it only requires USB port. Another advantage is speed. It is 10 times faster than the parallel port tool.
OK, let’s start!
How do I know my XBOX 360 is hackable?
This is relatively easy, check the power connector:
Differences between Xenon/Zephyr: Zephyr has HDMI, Xenon does not.
Difference between Falcon/Opus: Falcon has HDMI, Opus does not.
If you have a Jasper box, you should also check which NAND size it has.
Unplug all storage devices (HDD, Memory Unit etc.) and navigate to "System Settings", "Memory". If you don't see a storage device listed there you have a Jasper without an integrated Memory Unit, so you have a 16MB NAND. If a storage device is listed (with a symbol of an Xbox console in front) press the Y-Button and a summary from the storage device will appear.
Identification:
Capacity: 214MB = 256MB NAND Capacity: 451MB = 512MB
Which Dashboard-Version does my console have?
At first you have to find out which dashboard version your Xbox console has. Go to "System Settings", "Console Settings" and choose "System Info". The dashboard should show something like "2.0.7371.0".
It is possible to use the hack up to Version 7371, but starting with Dashboard-Version 8xxx it isn't possible anymore.
With Jasper, beginning MFR July 2009, you have to read out the NAND first anyway to know for sure that the Hack will work. (The NAND should be read out anyway, doesn't matter which Mainboard-Revision you have).
Preparation
First, download and install Microchip USB package.
After you have it installed, you should have a menu created something like: MicroChip ->MCHPFSUSB v1.3 in your windows menu bar. Please also remember the install location of this package, as you need to install drivers later. Reboot your machine.
Now, open the TIAO 360 USB SPI interface package, use the jumper to short the BL pins as shown below:
