How to RGH3 a Xbox 360 Slim (Corona) - Chipless RGH 3.0 Tutorial!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 июл 2024
- Hardmodding methods for the Xbox 360 come back once again with one of the coolest implementations I've seen to date in the form of RGH 3.0 from 15432! While previous RGH methods required a glitch chip, different timing files, playing around with different wire routing methods, RGH3 eliminates a lot of that by completely omitting the need for a glitch chip! Why use a glitch chip when we can use the console to glitch itself?! Aside from the NAND wiring, the only other installation in the console is simplified down to two wires and a resistor. That's it!
This video will walk through the process of discussing RGH3, discussing prerequisites, and stepping through a full Xbox 360 S or Xbox 360 E disassembly to get RGH3 installed. The installation itself will cover preparing the required resistor, exposing an incredibly small point to solder to, wiring everything up to the console, and building ourselves a custom NAND for some homebrew goodness.

If you are getting “Header is Wrong” using the PicoFlasher and maybe other flashers… it’s because your wires from the flasher to the Xbox are to LONG. I made this mistake, my wires were around 20inches long and I was get this error. They are now around 6-9 inches long and it works perfectly fine now. Please pass this along, that the NAND wires need to be short…. Maybe at most 10 inches long.
P.S. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.
I can confirm 30cm works fine, I've used some old wires from an old TV and it worked fine
Thank you for sharing this
Thank you so much for this guide - clear, easy to understand and the close up shots were really useful, particularly demonstrating how to position the postfix adapter.
Glad it was helpful!
I’ve been modding consoles since my preteens and this BY FAR is the most thought out, thorough, and enjoyable guide. Really, thanks a bunch:D
Glad it helped!
@MrMario2011
Hey there, I have a question I can't find anywhere. Do I need to factory reset before RGH3 install? Like do I have to back anything up on my personal console before taking apart and adding things to the drive? Please lmk as I'm lost on this question.
I have zero solder skills and looking at investing in all the kit to do this on my old Xbox 360. But I just have to say, watching you work and how easy you make it look which I'm 110% sure it is NOT easy. This is a masterpiece of a video.
Thanks! In regard to difficulty, indeed it might look easy on camera thanks to the shots I got, but it is all much smaller and more difficult in person. I would only recommend someone does this after good practice.
@@MrMario2011 Any advice on what I can practice on to develop the skills needed before I move onto the Xbox 360? Also are you using some sort of magnifying glass or do you just have very sharp eyes?
@@etienne18777 theres fake pcbs with a bunch of solder joints on them to pratice with that you can buy
Another thing to mention, the process does differ a bit from your guide if you're doing a 4GB Corona with the Picoflasher. You don't see the drive on the computer, just read the NAND in JRunner like the 16MB.
Went through a viciously troublesome period with a 0031 error on a Corona 360 E. Figured out that there was a bridge between the PLL point and the resistor next to it! The point is so incredibly small! But now that I resolved the bridge, I was able to perform the RGH 3!
I just want to give my thanks to you for your incredible guides and to Octal for all his brilliant resources.
@@the2ds 100% necessary.
I normally don’t comment on videos but this has to be the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. 1st time try worked on soldering, even the point I had to scrape off on my V2. I honestly think the 4GB NAND points are easier to solder than the 16MB because they already have a decent amount of solder on them and accept new solder with ease.
IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH JRUNNER NOT RECOGNIZING THE NAND AS “REMOVABLE TYPE” UNPLUG POWER TO THE CONSOLE! As simple as it sounds I was stuck for 30 minutes thinking I bricked my system because Jrunner would see the device, but not the allocated space or drive letter.
When plugging the Xflasher into your PC, If your computer doesn’t assign it a drive letter and give the pop up to format the drive, you need to unplug power from the console and give it a few seconds and plug in the console, then the Xflasher. I had to repeat this twice after writing the ecc for my computer to recognize it again correctly.
The only thing I missed the first time was writing the ecc. I forgot to check the RGH3 option and thought I bricked it when I couldn’t get a video signal. Just plugged Xflasher back in and wrote the correct ecc and I saw Xell this time!
A RECENT UPDATE TO JRUNNER has changed the labels of the buttons from that shown in the video, but they are still in the same place and do the same thing. They just say “Write Xell” now instead of write ecc.
All little oddities of working on a Corona right here, glad you got it working!
all the dislikes are from people who broke the trace near PLL_BYPASS
Oof
😳😳😳
I swear man I broke 2 xbox 360 slims trying to expose the pll bypass
@@kingalnaghem8494 i also broke 2 today i try the third one wish me luck guys😘
@@JOHNSMITH-sj3lg you could try fixing the trace with a little solder and some very thin wire, i did that with old snes games to fix dead traces, not sure if its the same though..
2nd xbox 360 guide of yours ive tried (1st was a failed 1.2 rgh falcon) and this actually worked! thank you so much!
Glad it worked!
Mr Mario and everyone who contributed towards the RGH3 project i thank you to the moon and back god bless you for these guides and all the information. I successfuly modded my first trinity today and i used kapton tape around the point we have to scrape did not scratch a thing thank you man it worked
Good idea!
Damn that would’ve been smart lol
What an absolute beast of a video! MrMario delivers the legendary content the people need, even in the face of adversity. We’re not worthy 🖐🤓🤚
LOL, I appreciate you, my dude 🖤
When you see him shaking while soldering, you can really appreciate and see how hard of a ducking job this is to solder, it's classified as an advanced soldering job. Props to you, i will follow this guide as a reference. Saw some other videos of yours and can't recommend enough.
No ducks here, my hands aren't steady and I've been open about it. Nothing wrong with it, most people don't have steady hands, but that hasn't stopped me from doing intricate work with some slight shaking!
@@MrMario2011followup. Thanks to you i now have a Slim R2D2 with RGH3. I cannot stress enough how hard it is to solder all those tiny points. I'm the Average modder but with your help i did it!
MrMario to the rescue. My 360E would not boot after the RGH3 mod. Then I watched your video and discovered WINBOND! Thank you for noting that in your comprehensive video. It saved my sanity.
SUPER glad that tip helped you! A big shout-out to Octal for that one, I've never run into a Winbond console but he watched an early cut of this video and suggested putting that in. Looks like you're the first person it has helped out 😁
Excellent guide, MrMario! Successfully modded 16Mb Corona X360E. Thank you very much!
Thanks, the postfix positioning explanation was exactly what I was looking for!
Glad it helped!
I'm so confused on the post fix install, @MrMario said you can solder to pretty much any point on there, but on my V1 adapter none of the points share continuity, point 1 goes right to the spring post which i THINK is what i need to solder to, and do you actually solder to all the little caps or diods or whatever they are to the left of the post? I saw one guy soldering all those to the adapter, but there was no mention of soldering these down on any other videos. I'm on a 16mb Corona V6 I believe with no traces
Literally just finished an RGH3 install on a Corona V1 unit with a Pi Pico. Your post RGH3 install guide was most helpful. :)
Woo!
Got it all done thanks to this guide. My earlier issue was soldering related. Went in, re-did it, tore a pad, did trace repair and it all works. Thank you!
Glad it helped
Once again you nailed it dude 👌 Keep it up!
Thank you, it means a lot!
Dude this is cool can’t wait to watch this man great work
Your the 4th RUclipsr to like my comment on a video already got brennen Taylor Sam and Colby faze teeqo and mori you are literally one of my favorite RUclipsrs there is only a select few I watch and man you are high on that list keep up the great work have you ever thought about opening an online shop for people that want to get their Xbox’s rgh’d or jtagged like your work is amazing anyways Mario we all love and support you some more than others lol
dudeee i was trying to find this so badly yesterday, you're a godsend. thank you so much!!
Well you're here now!
Finished one corona console with the pico flasher. Thanks for the great video tutorial!
Have fun!
Dude , this tutorial is by far the best tutorial i ever watch in youtube history !!! THANK YOU !!!
You're welcome!
YOU ROCK ... thank you so much for this legendary , detailed tutorial
Thanks!
Fantastic job as usually brother. Cheers.
Thanks!
With the help of your videos I have successfully RGH3'd 2 Trinity and one Corona V1/2 4GB. had minor issues each time but it was usually my own mistakes or lack of soldering skill, luckily I have a good magnifier i can hold in my eye like a monacle, made that micro-soldering possible, although having my face that close to the iron was... exciting. On the corona I forgot to check off the RGH3 box and i spent over an hour troubleshooting that thinking I'd killed it!
Good to hear you got it!
Hey, just wanted to check back in! I owe many thanks, managed to RGH my 16MB corona smoothly. Once again, thanks for the tutorial!
Beautiful!
Great tutorial again! I've only done it once, about 7 months ago on a phat, with a Falcon motherboard. The NAND programmer was a old PC with a parallel port (yikes!). So next time I definitely invest in a Pico! 😀
Hey, at least it worked!
Hey mate, I went into this with minimal soldering experience and pulled it off without a snag on a 4gig and a pico. I cannot thank you enough for making such a well though out tutorial, you are a gentleman.
Nice work!
15:47 I used a small diamond file when I followed your Trinity video. Worked well.
I've been waiting for this since i scored one of the coronas very recently
Hope it helps!
I didn't have a post fix adapter, and I was unwilling to wait... so I found some wire with heavy strands, cut one off, cleaned and tinned it, slid it under the APU touching ball 4 from the right corner, heated it up a bit until it slid under a tiny bit more... works great! I will admit I have some experience (and I took a big risk), but this was more about me being impatient and cheap. Thanks for all you do!!
Nice work!
thanks for the guide!
picoflasher didn't want to work for me on a corona v2 4gb, had to go the sd card route. luckily had one that i knew it was gonna work since i used it for reading 3ds nands.
btw, i used a 3.3k resistor for the ppl wire since that's what i had at hand and it worked just fine.
Ik this comment is a year old, but I'm working on a Corona right now and was wondering. Is your console with the 3.3k resistor is still working?
Another great tutorial. thanks Mr M
Thank you!
For those stupid reverse faced clips on the end shrouds, you can use a hook to lift the tab from the back side so they pop off super easy.
A hook can be made by grinding down the end of an old trash screwdriver and then shaping the tip with a bit of heat. Quench it then you've got a new pick tool.
Have to say hooks are seriously underrated tools for console modding.
I've got three coronas sitting next to me and theyve been collecting dust, you've inspired me to pull out the ol kit and throw some of my older aliexpress chips in.
Best tutorial I've seen on RUclips on this topic.
Thanks!
@@MrMario2011 I flashed my xbox 360 16mb corona v3 with picoflasher according to your guide, thanks again
Finally a vid that answered all my questions. Very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you so much. A quick question tho, if I'm using a pico flasher do I need to remove the wires from the console or the pico itself? I feel like it's annoying to have to desolder and resolder the wires.
Glad it helped! And I'd only desolder the Pico if the console isn't booting up after flashing it.
@@MrMario2011 Ok. Thanks a lot man!
Good Vid!
Tip: if you've wired your 360 to your LAN you don't need to enter the IP address to pull the CPU key into JRunner from Xelll...use the 'Scan IP' button.
For people watching in the future:
To avoid cutting the trace PUT A STRIP OF KEPTON TAPE ON THE TRACE
The tiny via to scrape is no joke one should consider using a microscope for that
Great video thanks so much
I Just wanted to say thanks! another happy customer. My 16mb 250gb xbox 360 s is up and RUNNING!
Great to hear!
I've done almost 4 Xboxs now. I think I am gonna make my own tutorial for zephyr. I got one working. Rgh2 with eh boot times but they're consistent. I only found 2 video tutorials. The one had horrible pictures and video quality so you can't even make out what you need to do. Then the other one is completely in Spanish. Surprisingly it was the better video to understand due to way better picture quality. Hopefully it helps people as much as your videos have. I learned rgh 3 from you so I wanna pay it back!
I'm all for it!
I just bought a Raspberry Pi Pico to do it! Great video, I knew hacking for Xbox 360 slim was possible but I didn't find a good video explaining it... Until now! Thank you very much!!
Have fun!
Another excellent tutorial. Just RGH 3'd my 4GB Corona with picoflasher and it works perfectly. In depth, but easy to follow tutorial. Thanks.
Awesome to hear!
Amazing video as always! thannk you for your time and attention to detail! I was wondering where you got those NAND wire extension things at. I could really use those! thanks again!
I have a video covering how to upgrade nand wires, give that a watch.
@@MrMario2011 Will do thank you!
amazing work, just the best
Thanks a lot!
I did ISO hot swapping a lot and I got really good at taking apart the Xbox 360's, that will be the the easiest part of this experience. I am doing as much research as I can. I almost bought the 10 k resistor and you are recommending the 1 k resistor for this revision, I watched the the Trinity revision guide first... Glad I did more research!
You are taking all the right steps so far, I applaud you for that!
I have a corona v1/2 that needs a SB reflow anyways, so I'm going to try and mod that with a picoflasher. Super cool that this works without a chip!
SUCCESS! The corona board ended up being unusable, but I found a trinity with a dead DVD drive in my stack of consoles and was able to mod that one using your other guide. Now I just need to flash a new drive with the DVD key from it lol.
I also ran into a weird issue with JRunner, XeBuild kept saying there were problems with my NAND, but it just wasn't pulling the lockdown value properly, I knew it was 6, but it kept trying to put in 1 when I ran XeBuild, so I used the Donor creation tool to force it to use 6 instead and just used the extracted files from the NAND dump to create the "donor"
I'm now waiting on a postfix adapter for my corona v4 lol
Excellent tutorial. Detailed and easy to understand even for a noob like me.
I have just one question that isn't clear for me. When having a WINBOND memory the patch WB 2K needs to be aplied ONLY for XBOX 360 E or in all the boards with winbond memories? I have a SLIM with winbond and not sure if that's needed.
I know of it for E models, but worst case try both? Enable the patch and build, if that doesn't boot then disable and rebuild.
This guy is a Wizard!
I'm no wizard, I just have a camera hah
I absolutely love that you have lil peep in your recommended videos. 😍 great video by the way!
Peep Forever 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks for mentioning R2C10!!!
I was getting nowhere with the readings and already quadruple checked my NAND soldering. (I was following weekendmodder's guide and guess that he maybe forgot to mention the resistor.)
Glad it helped! Octal was a HUGE help on giving the knowledge for taht.
@@MrMario2011
Octal is great. I might try his ext_clk on a xenon that I have.
I read through weekendmodder's site and he didn't mention the resistor on the guide page, but did on the pico flasher page. (Hopefully someone will be able to add the ability to flash glitch chips with the pico.)
I DID IT! thank you so much for this easy to follow tutorial!
Woo!
Just a suggestion,
sometimes even the 30AWG wires cant solder properly on the tiny pads, especially the PLL via, so the best way to do it is to take one of those stranded wires, cut a small piece of it and slice it open, then take about 3 to 5 strands and twist them until they become one very thin wire, make 4 of them.
now solder each of those thin wires to the tips of both wires, make them short so that you dont have lots of exposed conducting wires, put a little solder on the tips of those thin wires then solder them on the pads.
you will notice that its much easier to solder them on the pads and you wont risk yanking those pads out of place if you move the wires in the wrong direction, as the thin wires at the tip are very soft and will just break if you pull on it, keeping the pads intact.
also dont go with a very high temperature on the soldering iron, start at 280C then slowly go up, those pads/vias are so delicate to the point the iron would basically burn them. i learned it the hard way after destroying the SMC_PLL point on my trinity, so I had to connect the points on both sides of the SMC_PLL with thin wire strands
I did it perfectly fine with solid core 30 AWG and 350° C a little over a year ago and it worked great.
Thanks Mr Mario, I manage to RGH3 my slim Corona.
Based
AWESOME! You are a Legend! Thanks!
You're welcome!
You are the best man.
I'll definitely use this tutorial to get my Xbox 360 RGH'd. Don't know when, but once I do, I'll follow this. I know someone who can solder and he said he's happy to help me out with the mod.
Best of luck!
@@MrMario2011 Alright, update time!
I've finally gotten all the parts I need. I managed to find most of the parts really easily at my local hardware store. It was mostly just a waiting game because I had to order some of the things on Ebay.
I'll try and get the mod done this weekend!
@@BX56_YT update?
Thank you for this video! I got my R2D2 360 modded with it. :D
Woo!
@MrMario2011 can you tell me which line the pogo connect to in reference to the schematics/boardview diagram?
Great tutorial! Does the version of the Xbox software has to be the latest or does it work on every version?
Should work on any version.
Thank You MrMario, I was lost with the Seven Sins guide, it was so unclear about the resistor values and the fact that they just say if you have a corona v4 you need a post fix adapter (and not a single clue on how to install it nor a pic of it installed or anything)
I usually avoid video guides but this one is well done, with the timestamps etc so you can skip the other configurations parts.
I successfully glitched using a JR Programmer, it was way slower than your chip and the drivers installation gave me a headache ( and i had a very suspicious message when finishing the NAND write ) But it turned out fine.
Next step i’m doing my switch OLED. Cheers
Glad this helped!
Hey MrMario2011! I'm trying to mod a Corona 4gb xbox 360 s. i have been using the pico flasher in combination with jrunner. When I plug in the pico flasher it does not pop up as a drive, but the nand reads just fine. I can write the stock nand back to it, but when i write the Ecc/xell, it does not boot. it shows the green light, but no video or audio. I tried using the Ethernet method as well, to no avail. From my understanding, I gathered that it must be the pico flasher firmware, due to my problem matching several other commenters. I believe that the pico flasher needs some more develeopment with the corona 4gb nands. Is there anything I can do in the meantime? its impossible to get an xflasher, and I tried and failed to make a working sd tool out of a micro sd card adapter. Is it really just the pico flasher? thanks!
the end scene with the dog is my favorite part of the video😁
She helped!
Where can I find more info on hooking up to Post on newer Corona models without the Post Fix adapter? I did order the adapters from aliexpress, but I was wondering if I could try the other method while I wait.
I see the image you put in at 10:50 but I wonder if there's any info to go along with it, like gauge of wire or measurement from the nearest corner in mm or something.
edit: ended up waiting for and using the adapter
With the KV file you’ll wanted to rename it to KV.Bin surely and put that on the HDD too? Also I put the Cpukey.txt folder on mine too ? Isn’t that right ?
Hi Mario,
Thanks so much for this tutorial. It has been super helpful! I am having one problem though which I don’t see mentioned in the comments. I have recovered the CPU key and written the glitch.ecc but when I try to start the console using the eject button I get nothing. When starting with the power button the console boots up to retail normally. Any suggestions?
Sorry disregard that! Found it will boot to Xell with the eject button after a few attempts or holding down the eject button.
awesome!
i'm was planning to buy all the 360's on Sunday at cashconverters, so a glitchless RGH is welcome :)
LOL amazing! Although to correct you: glitch is still happening, it's just chipless 😁
@@MrMario2011 shoot i forgot to add the "board/chip" after glitchless but i concede in my mistake and will now rock back and forth in the corner :P lolz :P
Great tutorial as always! Although I'm having an issue and maybe you would be able to tell me a few things to check; I followed your instructions, then wasn't able to boot in xell after writing the ECC with the Pico Flasher. The nand reads were fine. I checked the solder points and everything seems fine, the multimeters shows continuity. I also tried with AND without the resistor... The console powers on, with a normal green indicator as well.... I really don't know what to check at this point...... thanks! btw, I have a Corona 4gb, no need for QSB according to your information in the video. Another detail, somehow, I haven't seen any pop up asking for a format when I plugged my pico falsher...
Hi, I got the the same outcome of yours. I dont know what to. Already tried to reflash the original NAND and nothing, the console seems dead. Have you got any solution?
@@angelobuoro i haven't found anything that works yet on this 4gb Corona; in the meantime i had success with 3 other type of motherboard....
@@EtienneCK Let me ask, in all those successful board , did you use always the picoflash?
This is sad... mine was a V2 corona, no postfix adapter... Now Im going to use it to practice soldering 😐
@@angelobuoro I did use the Pico and it worked well. The thing you have to remember is to disconnect it completely from the board when you first start Xell. You plug it back when you are ready to flash the mod. It seems obvious but since the Pico doesn't come with 'plug n play' wires, it's easy to forget and leave it connected/soldered to the board. In order to make this step easier, I used Dupont connexions.
@@angelobuoro I think it's annoying to have different needed diodes or resistors for each type of MB though lol But it's better than having to buy a chip i suppose
Very great video!! i wish there's a video that how to flash original NAND
Flash the original flashdmp.bin, not much to it.
I did RGH3 on trinity using previous tutorial Now I will get corona XBOX 360 for this tutorial.
Have fun!
Interesting point about R2C10 resistor & ignoring the other 2 when doing RGH3
Indeed! Threw me off as well, big shout out to Octal for explaining it.
just finished all the rgh3 wiring, just need to wait for the pico to arive!
Woo!
I recently ordered the x360 flasher. It no longer comes with the wire you unplug when connecting to the crystal. What do I do?
ive been working on a 16mb corona v2 all night trying to figure out why xflasher wont read the nand, any help or thoughts on this would be appreciated, good solder nothing ugly, new flasher and has been used on the last rgh i did so i know it works, but not sure why it wont read the nana using jrunner
It is so good it has a full movie length! 🍿
I had to get EVERYTHING in there
Holy crap I found a disassembled (but everything is there) corona buried in my closet from back in my 360 modding days. I'm so excited. I haven't worked on a 360 in forever!
EDIT: OH MY GOD I HAD NO CLUE RGH3 EXISTED UNTIL NOW. I ONLY EVER DID JTAG, 2, and 1.2 WOW
EDIT 2: WHATTTT YOU CAN DIY A FLASHER WITH A PICO?!?!??! WHY DID I EVER LEAVE THE MODDING SCENE WTF
The real time reactions here are great 😂
When connecting the kynar wire to the resistor did you splice the kynar wire? It still looks solid. I’m beginning to do this process soon. Thanks!
All shown in the video.
Hot air works better with shrink wrap I used my hot air gun and it took seconds
21:55 you don't need to touch that black plastic plane at all. All tabs are accessible as is. You just need some thin tweezers because of very narrow tab on the left from HDD tray. To access the tab on top of HDD tray you need to slightly move down plastic from the frame
UPD: 24:30 you can first remove 5 long black screws with big flat cap to unlock the top of console without stressing the tabs on front and your neurons
Just worth mentioning.. to read/write 4GB nand on Coronas you don't even need a programmer, a cheap 1$ sd card reader can do. You can either solder wires directly to the reader or to sd/micro sd adapter.
How do I do that?

It's far easier with a programmer, if it's hard or expensive to get one a Raspberry Pi Pico will get the job done
Tried so many ways with SD & been very hit & miss.
Why is the resistor optional and what benefit does it have versus wiring directly across?
Pog. Can finally stop looking for just trinity consoles.
I mean I'd still recommend a Trinity, but that's personal preference hah
@@MrMario2011 ye i've done 2 now so i might try a corona tbh for the challenge
hi corona v6 with toshiba 4 gb can i use corona v4 sd tool? or i need to make the SD with 68 ohms and why you didnt show it in video do you have another video tutor of RGH 3 dorona v6 and toshiba nand?
MrMario, What microscope do you use? do you use one of those blue cameras with a big lens that plugs to a PC? or do you use a trinocular microscope with a camera attached to it?
I have it linked in my Amazon shop, linked in the description with the soldering supplies.
@@MrMario2011 Thanks
Thank you for your great guide, only my screen is glitching screen most the time :s
My buddy and I are having some trouble soldering the PLL point. Most likely because the soldering iron we have sucks. We've decided to rebuild the Xbox and try again some other time.
Respect for recognizing that and stopping while you're ahead. It certainly isn't easy, but I hope you all get it sorted on this console or another console in the future!
Hey! I’m just wondering about 1:11:25 Do you need to unsolder the pico from the Xbox before booting it? I’m just wondering since we need to connect it again later on. The xFlasher 360 has a port for the cable connected to the Xbox but the pico wires are all soldered on.
Recommended, but if it's just quick for XeLL you'll probably be fine.
@@MrMario2011 sweet! Thank you so much. This video has been beyond helpful 🙏
Where can I find those pins you used to connect to the nand wires? Thanks
Sewing needles!
inroducing mr mario the most hard cored jailbreaker in the world, every device fears him
thanks for the effort man legend
LOL I'm far from that, but thanks 🤣
@@MrMario2011 your most welcome bro
As somebody with 2 rather painful new holes in his hand from the same damn x-clamp I would also wholeheartedly recommend an x-clamp removal tool.
Is it possible to mod a 360 (s) to work without an optical drive installed? I have one with a busted drive and a green for a few seconds then solid red dot (I'm guessing related to the drive) I am considering messing around with. Never modded anything before but have a few picos lying around and feel like this box owes me something for the blood it has drawn ;p
Hello sir, such a nice tutorial I will be using to jailbreak my 360 but here is a important question:
What do you mean by kernel version we choose on the J-Runner? Is it my Xbox 360's version? Is it important which version I use my Xbox 360 on? Because I did not update it for a long time and its old version.
Choose the latest version J-Runner has available.
Thanks for the fast response. So it will be fine to have old firmware on my xbox 360 and this kernel version is something different then my xbox's kernel right?
@@user4gent416 Yes, this is done with JTAGs all the time.
What are those solid soldering pins you're using at 59 seconds?
I upgraded my NAND wires myself, you can find the video on my channel showing how to upgrade NAND programmer wires.
God bless you and modded warfare for all the guides and information love you all, PS use kapton take to cover the trace area around the little point u gotta scratch at. itll cover the trace so nothing could be scraped!
Good idea!
For those of you looking to do this check which version you have. Good chance you’ll have to order a post adapter
Good news is that the adapter will work on all Trinity and Corona boards, regardless over whether or not you require it. Great for people who mess up the POST point under the board.
when exposing PLL do u have to expose the whole part even the center or just the outer copper part?
Shown in the video.
First of all I want to thank you for this great video!! I have a question. I'm a bit unsure about my three resistors R2C6, R2C7 and R2C10. All three of them are missing on my board version. Do I have to bridge all three or only R2C6 and R2C7 and leave the R2C10 open ?
It's covered and answered in detail within that section
@@MrMario2011 I bridged all three points and all steps from your tutorial worked fine for me 👍
Do all 3 while you're there, it won't hurt.
R2C10 is the only one that's needed, but bridging the other 2 shouldn't hurt. (I only did R2C10.)
Hi Mr Mario, the 1k ohm resistor you use on the Corona 16mb. Are the resistors 1/4 watt regards Andy
Wattage doesn't matter, just resistance.
@@MrMario2011 thank you, regards Andy
please help 🙌
I'm using pico to write corona 4gb
when I get to writing xell(ecc) it gives me the sound that it finished but in the shell it keeps saying writing
so I tried to unplug it relying on the sound notification but nothing
3rd console RGH3 of the day for me and I was about to just walk into the ocean with all of my clothes still on, until I remembered that my Corona was a V3 and I didn't bridge resistor 6 & 7.Wouldn't boot at all until I did and when I remembered about the bridging, I realized that the NAND was still write-protected. No probs after that, but next time mod first and THEN drink beer....great tutorial!
Cool to hear! However with RGH3, bridging resistors 6 and 7 doesn't matter since those are for i2c glitch chip methods such as S-RGH. Anything that relies on PLL like RGH 3.0 or RGH 1.2 doesn't use the pads those two resistors are connected to, you just need resistor 10 bridged, which I covered in the video.
@MrMario2011 I used a pico pi and for some reason, it just wouldn't boot until I did that. It would turn on automatically and not do anything and then turn itself off after about 30 seconds and wouldn't come on again until I removed the power. No telling, honestly, but it's working at least!
Hi all, I knocked the r2c9 resistor off when trying to bridge my r2c10. do you think i could just bridge this with a wire? if not, what sort of resistance do you think i would need to solder in line? i have lost the original micro resistor as it was extremely small.
i did some research, and it looks like based on xbox360hub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Xbox_360_Corona_Schematic.pdf
It looks like it should be a 47 ohm +-5% tolerance resistor. do you guys agree with that assessment?
Cool video thanks man. Just wondering what resistance the 1K Ohm resistor you used please?
That is the resistance.
@MrMario2011 🤣 Sorry my bad
@@MrMario2011what if I forgot to get the 1k resistor with me on vacation? Will it still work?
