In this video series, Troy2062 will be demonstrating how the JTAG hack is executed on an Xbox 360. This tutorial assumes an intermediate level knowledge of electronics.
DISCLAIMER - If as a result of following this tutorial, you render your Xbox 360 damaged and/or inpoerable, Troy2062 and 360-HQ 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 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.
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, assistance with the 10th perstige glitch, or if there is some way to apply the JTAG hack to an updated console.
If your dashboard version number starts with an "8", you will not be able to apply the JTAG hack under ANY circumstances.
Regarding 10th prestige: This is all but impossible to achieve now with a JTAG Xbox 360.
Please make sure you understand all of this BEFORE you PM me, as the volume of messages continues to increase! @_@;
