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?

FreeMyXe 1.1 is now released with support for Bad Storage formatted drives. github.com/FreeMyXe/Fre...
(XeUnshackle 1.03 BETA is also available with Bad Storage support: github.com/Byrom90/XeUn...)
Eaton (the developer of FATXplorer) has just released Bad Storage, a set of patches letting you use unofficial internal HDDs/SSDs up to 2TB in size on a BadUpdate console fatxplorer.eaton-works.com/bad-storage/
A build of XeUnshackle is available now, and support will be added to FreeMyXe shortly!
the Free60 project now has a Linux 6.16 patch set thanks to Techflash, rwf, and others github.com/Free60Projec...
2025 will be the year of Linux on the Xbox 360

Here's my newest bit of fun: ABadAvatar, a fully automatic from-boot dashboard exploit for the Xbox 360, using Grimdoomer's BadUpdate exploit!
This isn't the final release, but I wanted to get an official source for it before things got *too* out of hand :p
github.com/shutterbug20...
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!

a new update has been released to the Bad Update hypervisor exploit that massively improves reliability and exploit times, taking less than a minute and with an estimated 60-80% success rate
thanks to kmx360 for researching and implementing the new strategy!

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!

A new (BETA!!) payload XEX for BadUpdate was just released by a fellow 360 modder Byrom that applies a set of hypervisor/kernel patches, like FreeMyXe, but also includes Dashlaunch support github.com/Byrom90/XeUn...
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.
In case you're looking for a slightly technical bit of information about some of the patches done by xeBuild (on RGH) and FreeMyXe (on BadUpdate), I made a thread that you might find interesting:

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.
as always; you can upgrade to a new FreeMyXe build by just running the default.xex again, you don't have to reboot and run the exploit again
FreeMyXe beta5 has been released, with an addition that way more homebrew should work *without* needing to be "patched" beforehand.
(Nerd info: XEX files made with the devkit key will now load, which most homebrew apps are. *Not* dev builds of games.)

Please don't ask me for help getting closed source homebrew working on FreeMyXe. Any bugs or improvements need to be done by them, not me.
the biggest difference between the 360 and these two consoles is that it has games.
but also, the PlayStation 4 has sleep mode as a feature, it has a whole second CPU for it
the PlayStation 3 phat/slim (not superslim) models have a very weak boot process, enabling CFW
the Xbox 360 has neither!!
It is also not a PlayStation 3.
The Xbox 360 is not a PlayStation 4.
New video is finally out! If you have an Xbox 360, you can mod it yourself for free, and all you need is a flash drive!
