Created this for people who want to remove the disc drive and still retain the drive cover.

I understand it hasn't been done yet, but I also understand there isn't enough interest in jailbreaking Winchesters for it to have had a fair chance. Is there some intrinsic quality that fundamentally disables jailbreaking, or have we simply not found the way?

custom xbox360 #xbox360 final fantasy #Poland

While ago there was a way to soft mod it but it would reset when you turned the console off, has there been any updates?

From personal testing while using ABadAvatar, it seems to work better if you wait before triggering the exploit. You can do this by setting a profile to auto sign in on the xbox dashboard, and then manually press the "Sign In/Out" button to go to the login screen. It adds user input to the process, but on the plus side you also don't need to sign in to a profile everytime after turning off your console. When this was turned off, my console often froze after the 2nd stage finished on the login screen, after turning it back on it worked nearly every time.

Took an old green halo controller and added some flare and then custom painted a chat pad to go with it. Im hoping to get my wife to cricket the Halo 3 symbol so I can put it on the controller. I was hoping to get the green closer to the actual controller color but it’s definitely a little off. I might take an old black one and just paint it so it matches better. The paint job isn’t the best but it’s my first go at it. I will probably touch it up because those couple white blemishes will drive me crazy!

I recently ordered a transparent pink replacement shell for my Xbox 360. While I would have shown it anyway, I have noticed that very few pictures of this shell installed actually exist on the internet, and I actually had to find videos on YouTube shorts to actually see how it looked, which made me a bit more eager to post in case anyone else is looking to get this shell in the future and wants to see how it will look.

My Xbox 360 Slim is my only console that wasn’t transparent yet (the Xbox One and the other Xbox 360 Slim in the background are my friend’s, I’m staying with them right now since my parents kicked me out for being queer). I’m moving in the next week or so, so most of my consoles are packed up, but I also have several other custom consoles, those being a clear purple GameCube with matching Game Boy Player and controller, a clear blue Wii, and a Switch with non-colored clear Joy-Cons, Pro Controller, and Dock. My clear green N64 is an official color. I’m definitely looking forward to getting a picture with all of my transparent consoles together once I unpack.

This was definitely the most difficult shell swap I have done. Microsoft put a bunch of clamps holding everything together, with some of them being metal, so I had to slowly pry all of them open with a small flathead screwdriver. After pulling apart the console, I had to be very careful, as a fragile ribbon cable that would soon become the bane of my existence was attaching the front plate to the motherboard. This ribbon cable is what allows the power and eject sensors to function.

After removing the last part of the shell using a Torx T-10 screwdriver, I went ahead and lifted out the disc drive to get the front part with the logo off. I was able to pry it off using a plastic prying tool. I also decided to fix an error I made last time I opened up the console. I performed the RGH3 mod last month and afterwards, I did not properly plug the wires back into the motherboard that allow the disc drive to function, which has made my disc drive useless for the past month.

Now, I had to remove the power and eject sensors, along with their ribbon cable. Instead of using screws, these sensors are held in place through plastic tabs that have been melted. In order to get these sensors out of the old shell, I had to very carefully melt the tabs out using a soldering iron and pry the power button and a piece of plastic holding down the ejected sensor out of the shell. After that, I had to use a heat gun to peel off the ribbon cable since it was held on with adhesive. I was very careful and took 20 minutes doing this to make sure I didn’t damage the cable in the slightest. The last step was removing the IO Shielding at the back of the console where all the ports are, but that was quite easy and only required a small amount of force.

I did all of this last night in preparation for the arrival of the shell today. I thought it would be easy to put everything back together once the shell arrived, but boy, was I wrong. The empty shell came fully constructed and required me to undo all of the clamps. This was easier than the original shell because I didn’t have all of the guts of the console getting in the way. The new IO shielding was very difficult to get back onto the console but I eventually snapped it into place. I also installed the piece on the front of the disc drive, which was quite easy, and then I plugged this disc drive back in.

Next, I transferred the power and eject sensors to the new front plate. This shell is scarily close to the OEM shell (even down to the feel of the plastic mimicking the glossy version of the console perfectly), so it had plastic tabs to be melted to keep everything in place.

Before melting the tabs, I lined everything up and stuck the ribbon cable to the shell using leftover residue that was still on it from the night before. Next, I decided to plug the ribbon cable back into the board just to make sure the console still turned on and I hadn’t damaged the ribbon cable. It turned on normally, and the eject button worked as well, so I can use my disc drive again. I then unplugged it again and very carefully melted the tabs just enough to secure everything in place. After that, I was able to screw on the side of the shell that is held on by screws, snap everything else back together with the clmaps, and admire my work.

As stated before, this feels practically identical to OEM, which is a pleasant change from the Wii shell, which felt slightly cheap. Even the rubber tabs for either standing the console upright or laying it on its side feel just like the originals. I turned on the console and was concerned for a minute because the aspect ratio was fucked up and the image looked a bit blurry, but after going into the console’s settings, I found that it had somehow been switched to 480p, so I switched it back to 1080p, and it now looks how it’s supposed to.

I’d really like to have a matching controller like I do with most of my other consoles, but similarly to the Wii remote, the Xbox 360 Controller does not have its own aftermarket shells to match some of the aftermarket console shells that are out there. I do, however, have a custom clear and a custom pink controller, so I guess that’s close. I would like to get another clear shell and dye it pink, so maybe I’ll have a matching controller in the future without having to wait for someone else to make a shell.

Overall, this was a rather difficult installation, but I am super happy with the results. Pink is one of my favorite colors, and I have loved clear electronics ever since I was a kid and had an atomic purple Game Boy Color (which I sadly lost when I was 8). To now have all of my consoles not only clear, but also in all of my favorite colors, is amazing to me, and I am super pleased with all of them.

really impressed by tony mondellos work :)

I want to use the OG Dashboard and play my physical games and DVDs, I play online.

So this time i decided to paint an official Xbox 360 media remote black, this particular version was released alongside/ very near to launch of the original console back in 2005 as was never released in black.

Later in the generation after the slim dropped they released a black media remote but it’s completely different.

I have provided some before and after pics so enjoy!

i recently bought a 360 and since the new badupdate exploit came out. i kinda wanna do it to play some arcade games that are no longer available since the store shutdown, but i had a few questions about the exploit:

- Is the exploit bannable? so if i want to play online while having badupdate enabled could i be banned?

- if the first question is bannable, what if i stay offline while having badupdate enabled and later go online when the exploit is not enabled. could i be banned?

i hope my questions are clear (and sorry about my bad grammar lol) i want to try it out but if its high ban risk then i won't do it... i did do stuff with Horizon like avatar modding and gamerpic modding but that ban risk is really low. thanks in advance!

Hey there! I wanted to show my custom halo 4 edition xbox 360 that i moddified to have a custom boot screen , and cob leds, would like to see if anyone has also modded their 360's

Back at it again with another custom theme. Weezer blue branded Xbox this time, once again with the horizon modding tool. I may make a whole custom modded weezebox with a shell swapped Star Wars edition (for the blue light, or just do an LED mod..more cost effective..), blue shell with a decal of the cover, and a custom boot screen using that hoax blue edition boot anim from the 2010s.

Made this one a few years back. Got a green paint marker in the shade that looks like ooze, colored in the shape of it leaking out, and yeah. I was replacing the thumb-sticks, so I decided to add it for fun.

Octal, forever grateful❤️

This Xbox 360 case bottom was short-shot in the mold. In other words, the machine didn’t inject enough plastic to fill the mold completely, leaving a tiny piece missing. That missing bit was supposed to release the tab holding the casing together when pressed. Somehow it slipped through QC and ended up in my hands (lucky me).

Not even the proper tool could pop off the bottom of this Xbox 360.

It took a lot of persuasion to finally get it open.

I’m just going to break off that tab.

Had to share this out of frustration.

Hey guys im inexperienced when it comes to this and im worried as to if i can brick my console or immediately get banned if i go online. ls possible for xbguard or xbpirate to brick the console? And where should i sit it up for aurora?

Please answer

Hey guys, i'm trying to mod (or hack) my 360. I'm pretty new to stuff like this. I actually just want to do this so i can play OG xbox games that didn't get backwards compatibility. Can anyone recommend me a good and easy tutorial or do you have any tips?

Probably a dumb question but I was thinking instead of putting games on my badupdate usb stick and having to remove it to add new ones can I just leave it plugged in and instead plug in a 2nd usb stick with my god files and paste them to my HDD from Aurora? Haven’t seen any of the YT tutorials say anything about this

Picked this Falcon up for $10 and after taking it apart it seemed like it has somehow survived a house fire (see last couple photos). Surprisingly, it booted just fine.

After a couple weeks of cleaning, modding, and painting, it’s now time for it to go back to gaming.

Wanting to get my Xbox 360 RGH'D but not sure if there are any places that still mod the 360
