Xbox 360 Bad update... Update

That sounds great and all brother, but I'd rather just put a usb in my console and run the exploit for a few seconds. :loldog
Well, it's all you can do. *teeheedoggy* But for others, it's good to know it can be used to do a proper mod for basically no cost.

You have no idea what I'm capable of. I'm glad for you and the others, but sharing your "proper" hardmod solution in a thread meant for people who aren't interested in that route just makes it look like you're punching air now that there’s a much easier (and still proper) way. There's always that one person.::lol

Ya honestly I'm with you. Even though I can RGH a 360, if I were to buy another I'd just do the bad update. Hell of a lot less trouble honestly. RGHing a 360 isn't hard by any means if you know what you're doing. It's just tedious and time consuming, really.

And at worst, you have to do one or maybe two reboots if the exploit has a hiccup

(And I did kill a couple of 360s learning how to RGH them. Aeons ago, it happen's) ::cirnoshrug

Exactly, there are multiple reasons to choose badupdate over a hardmod. Besides, people with the latest model don’t have any other choice.

I've seen some sad comments. Like someone saying they broke their console a few days before it came out. It happens like u said. ::frown

Nah, you wanted to be all snarky when I specifically said it was great for avoiding a lot of tedium in a hardmod procedure (which is huge, yes). You moved the goalposts without thinking just to get a point or something silly. Don't even, little giggly dog.

And an exploit, by definition, is not a proper mod. English is hard, I guess.

At best, you'll be booting up, running an exploit, then playing whatever after a minute, not seconds. It's as good as a swap trick or boot disk on other consoles, and it gets old. If my post wasn't for *you*, maybe you shouldn't have commented like it was a ridiculous notion to want another somewhat parallel option. It was perfectly on-topic.

Well, at the end of the day, I think it matters whether you can boot up the system or not. A minute or two off won't make much of a difference once you get to play the thing. :)

True, some solutions are faster, but maybe also perceptions are different. I for one am on a Jasper and don't mind waiting a few minutes.

Others might get annoyed with that and I respect their point as well.

Yeah, it is for sure better than nothing, and is opening lots of doors. My first PSX mod was a swap disc, and using it drove me to learn to solder (wasn't great at anti-pirate code titles).

Swap disk? Ah, because they made that wobbly sector they read to do the copy protection, right? I remember reading about that, don't remember whether it was PSX or another Playstation console.

Yeah, exactly right. Home CD burners can't replicate it, so the console knows it's a copy. There were other measures too, like 'anti-mod' and libcrypt. A boot disk like PSX-Change 2 allowed for inputting a *long* gameshark code to bypass the anti-mod stuff, but it was a pain and just led to not playing those.

Mad respect for all ya, I only know basics , since I've only soldered for a project with a Pi few years ago. Good to have smart / talented people here as well.

Well, can't really blame them, can we?
They were really trying to protect their work, unless I'm missing something.
 
Microsoft and their problematic updates. Some things never change. You'd swear it was intentional.

OP: Hey, there's a way to mod your xbox without soldering.
You: Okay, nice. Did you know you can just solder? 🧠

Then suddenly, you can't handle it when someone prefers an easier method. You act like they're beneath you and they can't do it your way. Now you're trying to criticize people's English comprehension without even knowing where they're from or whether English is their first language.

Also, I personally never even called badupdate a mod. So what's with the random insults? You can keep those, along with your explanations about modding.

its pretty cool but still usually takes 3-5 minutes for me. sometimes its super fast though.
 
I have been thinking of trying out this exploit, but first I'd like to know how is the ban situation. Does Microsoft still ban accounts on hacked Xbox 360s?

No it's not as tedious as a boot disc or swap trick, the xbox 360 is a remarkably stable console and once applied it stays applied until reboot...so to say you'll be doing it for every game is disingenuous at best.

Best to not risk it, use a throwaway account not linked to xbox live and disconnect from the internet until the exploit is applied then you can connect for ftp and suchlike.

So you're kinda nitpicking and reaching here, lol. I know you do it once per boot. It is required every boot, and to me, that is, in fact, tedious. I never once said you do this for every game. And the speed at which it does its thing is certainly an improvement, but that still doesn't change that you load a demo and run the exploit every time, 'remarkable stability' or not.

I'm glad I made you laugh, I'd fish out that soyjak gif but I can't be bothered, you know which one I mean.

Both your examples have to be applied per game, so you did say that...didn't you?

I get it, you got your Jtag and you felt well elite, but now theres all these softmod noobs running around and it annoys you...doesn't mean you are right though, just salty.

It's not a jtag, bro do you even read?

Go back and read my first post. You're just flailing like an obvious ESL now. Grats on being the second winner to jump on me for no reason beyond your basic lack of English comprehension.

I clearly knew it was once per boot, and CLEARLY was saying in the sense that it's impermanent. You saw the minute chance to be a hero and jumped without reading. many such cases lmao. Elite indeed!

Off to the bin with you, but feel free to have your 'heroic' last word. I won't see it.

He tried to make it look as bad as possible without even knowing what he was talking about, and trying to get his invalid point across.

"An exploit by definition is not a proper mod. ☝️🤓" I bet the next thing he does is be a party pooper in the comment section of Mr. Mario's video too, for putting "How to mod your Xbox" in the title.

Thing is, I want to unlock trophies with my account. The reason I want to use the exploit in the first place is because my 360's disc reader is dying, and I want to run backups of the discs I actually own (I would make them using a friend's console).

So I ask, once again: Does Microsoft still ban accounts on hacked Xbox 360s?

Yes, they absolutely do still ban consoles and/or accounts for being modified. And even a bad update system may leave traces that persist when run vanilla if you install stuff (I wouldn't chance it but others seem sure it doesn't). You might want to look into 'stealth servers', but I can't vouch having never used one (mine was banned years ago for LT firmware, and don't care about online), and they might not be bulletproof.

Looks like a pretty cool mod. I've been thinking about trying out some sort of modification to my 360E but after looking into it I was pretty sure I had literally 0 choices on the hardware side due to the age of my system.

I'll give this one a go and think about installing Resi 5 again with all the DLC.
