Xbox 360 JTAG/SMC hack part 2!

Ok! So *finally* I acquired Xbox 360 with manufacturing date: 17.09.2008.

Dash version: 2.0.7371.0
Kernel version: 2.0.7371.0
(BK: 2.0.1888.0)
I'll take camera shots probably later.

At quick look it seems to be a Falcon console with Lite-On drive. I've been running Jeff Minter's VLM with music for few days without problems! Go Yak and long live my Xbox360 (phukin' RRoDs!).

After reading what I need I ordered some stuff from http://www.modtraders.co.uk/. First I was going to get one LPT cable built for reading/writing NAND flash, but at these prices it's really not brainer if to do one yourself or buy a NAND USB programmer. :) So I ordered:

- Xecuter Unlock Kit V2 (to get the Xbox360 open easily. I hate the procedure getting the plastic covers open without damaging them atleast too much :) and this one also has all the other needed stuff to get it open.

- Xecuter NAND-X & JTAG Connection Kit (this is the main device I need: http://www.modtraders.co.uk/xecuter-nand-x.html for fast USB programming of the NAND chips etc... Should also be newbie friendly because of quicksolder pads :).

- Xecuter LT Switch v1.5 (I don't have to mod the DVD drive when doing JTAG, but I'll probably do it eventually at somepoint anyways so I decided to get this too, goddamn bitchy Lite-On drives).

Now I'm just waiting for the ModTraders package pack to arrive. :)

I'm also hoping VERY VERY VERY much that the CB version will be compatible with JTAG/SMC hack! If it is homebrew here I come! Otherwise i'll be back for hunting a exploitable box, blah! :(

BTW: Laptop is still b0rked. I'll send it to repair next week.
