Since this is, apparently, the 213123th time you've seen me mention the price.... then you should also know that I have REPEATEDLY said; I lack the skill and the desire to JTAG the machine myself. Shit, I won't even perform an MRA solder hack on my drive to retrieve my keys, so JTAGing is well out of the question. I also won't touch Xenon (which that link is) if my old Falcon could die, then there's definitely more chance of a Xenon kicking the bucket.

Try finding a JTAGed machine for that price, then we'll talk.


Besides, what's the butthurt about? Have I offended you in some way? There's an ignore button if my posts are irking you.


I had never even picked up a soldering iron before I did mine, even a monkey could do it, the desire part I guess could be overcome.Its just they are cheap, shipping from england to Norway wouldnt cost much.

Actually, it does cost that much. Shipping 2KG from Norway to England cost me almost £30 -- and a 360 weighs closer to 6KG. Not to mention duty fees on anything over £25.

@sabin1981 : i'm a soldering noob like you, but what I did and it's the best way to get a cheap (yes, cheap !!!) jtag, is to take a few afternoons to PM every people on second hand sites (specially noobs), and ask them their kernel version, their MFR date, and how the back of their xbox look (to know if it's jasper, or falcon or xenon, there is a jpg for that, that I linked to them).

Of course, many people wont answer or updated their 360, but out of all of them, I got the one, a guy who never plugged in on the internet, who only bought one game (fifa 10) and where the plug looked like a jasper (which was actually a Jasper)... So I bought it second hand, a Jasper, it was almost brand new since he only played a little FIFA (and anyway, even a used Jasper is 100% stable) for almost nothing since he never heard about Jasper or JTAG... Then you ask a shop (or even better, a friend), to do the soldering work for you.. ANd voilà, cheap JTAG and even better a rare Jasper (not a SINGLE freeze ever, stable as rock and I got 2 RRODed Xenon before which was beginning to hard lock before dying a few months after) !!!

Sadly, the only bad thing about this is i did this back in march 2010, surely in may 2011, it's harder to find a 360 that is still on 7xxx kernel, but i'm sure it does exist if you take a few afternoons and PM lots of guys !

But do you think $400 would be too much for everything im offering? I don't want to sell just the console then have to part out everything else.
I would give a smaller clip on HDD and get a cheap 1TB disk with FSD etc. and sell it a little more expensive. USB is still faster than ftp/network(samba server) so if I really want to play a game bad I connect the USB disk directly to PC. Not sure what the price would be, but 400 canadian dollars is around what I bought for my JTAG + 250 clip on and the external 1TB. But the only reason for clip on HDD on JTAG is for DLC.

I bought mine off Garus for $365 shipped, but that was an Arcade Jasper with no extra HDD. So I bought my own 1TB external for it Smile

So I dunno.. $400 SHIPPED with a 750GB internal drive would work for me I guess.

I would pay $300 for it right now, but like Sabin I think I'd be raped by postage and customs from shipping it to Thailand Sad
But if you fancy a holiday in Bangkok bring the machine and I'll buy it off you, you can get a lot of hookers for $300 Wink

One machine successfully Jtaged. Just waiting on HD caddies to finish the other 2.

Question to anyone who has jtaged a 360.

Which efuse method did you use? Resistor removal or did you bridge the 2 points. I wanted to just bridge the two points but they are scary small IMO.

a jtag is far more comfortable, plus it's future proof, so no shitting around with ap2.5, new disc format or whatever MS will put out over the next few years. and the added price (or work if you do it yourself) will easily pay itself off since you don't have to pay for verbs. so overall win situation. oh and xbla/dlc en masse of course Very Happy

Ok, ok. Clear point. Maybe if i get banned. But for now i am on stock Lite-On again (thanks MS). So i think ill wait for 2.0. Dont want to run the risk of not being able to play online. So no Jtag YET for me...

just so you know, you can't jtag your box anymore, so might as well get one now, while they are still available (and affordable) Wink

I'm actually looking for another JTAGable 360 right now. Anyone know of a good place to get one or maybe two, unmodified falcons or jaspers? I'll do the work, so I just need the 360's and power bricks

it is hard to find jasper for jtag now . The easiest to find are 360s with xenon boards they are also the cheapest. But nobody knows how long they will work

Say what? Why wouldnt you free arcade arcade games and DLC. No need to burn games, just play them from any USB HDD. Sounds terrible indeed

As for using a flashed 360 online... MS didnt ban last year, so I dont see the problem. They might start banning again. But rather pay for another 360 than lots of games to play online.

Xclamp trick still working for me. My first 360 is still running. But might be because I dont use it that much

Jasper can, depending on their MFR date and dashboard version. What are yours?

O... Latest dash Sad
MFR is i thought Dec 2009.
