Grimdoomer just released Xbox360BadUpdate version 1.3, which makes the exploit extremely fast and reliable (near 100%), and includes a "recovery mode" for people who broke bootanim.xex. *Support for the THAW/Pro Strcpy entrypoint was dropped in favour of Blitz/DaTArrest. github.com/grimdoomer/X...

this is a long shot - would anyone happen to have a Wireshark packet capture of an Xbox 360 updating via LIVE *before* the Kinect/fall 2010 system update? reposts for reach appreciated

the Bad Update exploit, DaTArrest, FreeMyXe, XeUnshackle, are all free pieces of software that are freely available to download and easy to copy to any USB stick. if you have paid money for them, you have been scammed!

Pandora is/was by far the easiest way to connect to Xbins, which legitimately hosts downloads for a lot of 360 homebrew too, like Dashlaunch, xeBuild, FreeStyleDash 3, NXE2GOD, Mupen64, Snes360, etc this kind of abuse of DMCAs is concerning for the health of not just OG Xbox, but 360 modding too

This agreement helps build trust, it allows anyone to check the code and make sure it's safe, even if the distributed binary is not the same. It also helps if a game update releases and mods are no longer compatible, it'd allow anyone to send patches so they can work again. Open-source your mods!

FreeMyXe is NOT the hypervisor exploit. Updates will never improve success rate. Updates will never make it persistent. Updates will never turn it into a softmod. Please stop asking, please stop expecting things to happen.

There are a few AI generated "edits" to the BadUpdate exploit going around. These do not improve exploit stability- and one of them that I've seen actually makes the exploit *never run successfully*. Please don't use these. At best you'll just be wasting your time.

putting it out there again - BadUpdate is not at all intended to be a replacement for an RGH. if you want something reliable, persistent and fully compatible, get an RGH console or mod your own yourself

RGHing a phat Xbox 360 is a good soldering project and you should do it not a good *first* soldering project.. but with a bit of practice doing something else first, it's pretty easy to pull off

truth be told y'all I actually just really like the Rock Band and Guitar Hero games that's why I do all this. Literally all the cool stuff to come of all the 360 hacking, stuff like FreeMyXe, has been with Rock Band modding as the end goal. Rock Band Blitz was exploited because we love Rock Band

The Xbox360BadUpdate exploit reliability is completely random and unpredictable. It is very unlikely that doing anything will actually improve the speed of the exploit, since it is based entirely on random numbers your Xbox made when it was turned on.

Emma (Xfox 360) @xfox360.invoxiplaygames.uk · 14/03/2025

since people have been trying this, I'm putting out a warning that you should **NOT** change or delete the boot animation after running BadUpdate. You will lose access to BadUpdate, since the exploit will always fail. (it relies on the boot animation during "stage2")

the latest Santroller update lets you import keys dumped from your Xbox 360 to authenticate even on stock - meaning you only need to run the BadUpdate exploit once, grab your NAND, then you can authenticate your guitar/controller with that console forever! ty sanjay as always

this. having to remake everything from scratch to have feature parity with features people have come to expect is.. painful. preventable. having to redo research that was done years ago but never published except as part of closed-source (or worse, paid!) tools where the author vanished sucks.

closed source modding projects stifles innovation and removes future proofing projects that are closed source can't be updated to work around limitations under the FreeMyXe environment FreeMyXe can't have certain features added because the features are from things that are closed source

Do not try to flash the NAND if you are using BadUpdate. Do not edit any file on the NAND. Do not run any tool that modifies the NAND (e.g. Dashlaunch's Installer).
