i too buy from vgcrepairs. pretty fast delivery since im across the country from them.

you wont be able to play on live since you have the 4gb corona.

The only benefit i see from using a matrix is cost.
with the coolrunner you have a good tech support.

Then again you have good tech support here no matter what chip you buy.
It's up to you on what you want to do at this point.

Wow with multi support like that I am definitely going with vgcrepairs lol good shipping speed as well sounds like a US warehouse then to have good shipping time.

Why won't I be able to play on live with the 4Gb corona?

Is it the lack of game save data support?

I should remind I did bid and won a 120Gb internal hard drive got it for around $40 on ebay. Still yet to arrive in the mail from Cali.

if you rgh the 4gb corona, you wont be able to get on xbox live. also there is no demon that'll work with the 4gb corona, so dual nand for rgh and live is not possible.

Yeah I can I mean what would be the benefits of the xkey other than running game on external hard drive.

Will I be able to shut it off ( by that disable it) and run live with bought game?

The whole point is so I can run game on a hard drive and then disable that run bought game on optical drive and on live. I know having hack will be easily picked up and ban which is why I want to disable it when I do run live.

your better off just flashing the dvd drive if your going to rgh the console .   or just flash the dvd drive and don't RGH it if you want to play on xbl .  Or pay me or gizmo  to dual nand a console for you , then you can do both :D

lol, i have talked to few on xbox scene and for the most part the easy way to go is the xkey other than flash which require me to pay for dumb DL disc and waste gas. This is the only site that gave me reason to go with RGH or Jtag haha but the con is not being able to do live doesn't seem all that what I want.

I think I'll try xkey hay if it doesn't work out I can always sell it on ebay hahahaha earn my money back and just flash it.

yes but  you can always pick up a cheap console and a demon to dual nand it.  I do them all the time.

LMAO counter intuitive to owning a slim isn't?

It's fine I know a lot of people like RGH on here more then other things. I try to get help from two forum who have two different like of hardware.

The only good out come is knowing that the console I own can not use demon. I can either flash and waste money buying DL disc or I can buy xkey and save. In either case I will still need to buy the corona 4Gb to use with the xkey

Lol that is the plan. But I will need to RGH to gain the key from the motherboard.

I went ahead and took my system apart to check the disc drive

This is the what I got in the console

Lite-on DG-16D5S drive manufactured September 2012. Firmware : 1532


So being the firmware is the latest I will definitely have to RGH. I found a video tutorial on youtube for the 4gb corona install :) All I will really need is coolrunner and the 4gb corona with the xkey which I can buy seperately once I have all that I need.

Correction:
you will need the 4gb read/write kit as well. as well as the corona upgrade qsb or buy a 48mhz crystal oscillator.

Ahh yes you are right :) I will need the 4gb Read/Write thank you Gizmo. But what's with the corona upgrade or the 48 Mhz crystal? Will that be to boost speed of the R/W?

Like i said in the other post, the corona does not have the CLK speed. it requires a seperate 48mhz oscillator in conjunction with a coolrunner to rgh your console. With it, you can obtain the cpu key. with your cpu key entered into jrunner, it will decrypt your nand and give you the dvd key needed to flash your drive into whatever you want.

I  would love to see a decent instalkl and review of the xkey. If I had not gotten very lucky, that was what I was planning on buying. I would not have needed the extra junk since I have phat. Seemed like the xkey was the cheapest and easiest route.
Now that I have an RGH, I can see that having fsd and other options is well worth the extra coinage.

I guess I will have to do a review on the xkey lol. Yes I will need to do a few extra step on the 4gb corona Xbox 360 slim console to gain the key since the optical drive is a newer Lite-on version with updated firmware.

I will still have to RGH only to retrieve the key lol

Well I bought the tools today. Couldn't afford to get the xkey yet and I had to look for another site that sells the 48Mhz ceramic Oscillator. Luckily its a local online site with a store located in my state, so I will see how it all goes once I get it. Didn't have enough for the xkey had to pay ebay for outstanding due and get my nephew a replacement screen on his psp 3000. I still have $30 saved and I have 3 client who owes me so No problem here i'll wait next week in the meantime i'll wait for the RGH tool and try out to get the key, store it and start modding the shell then get the xkey.

So I got most of my hardware in the mail today. Thanks Rodent and Gizmo for the site really they deliver fast.






Unfortunately I wasn't able to order the 48Mhz Ceramic Oscillator from the same site. But I got it off electronic site and it will arrive in the mail monday.

So now I guess what is left is to figure out before the Oscillator arrive how or where to solder it.

Thank you guys :) for lot of help.  :hifive:

So I am peiceing together what I might have to do as I move on with the hack

I went ahead and installed the QSB Corona 4gb to the board


I also found how I am suppost to connect the 48 ceramic Oscillator to CR ver c


1 & 4 to 3v3
2 to ground
3 to B

Question is Where do I tie the CR to the board?

Will I need to add additional wire to 3V3, Ground and B to jump to the board??

yes you will need extra wires for 3.3v and ground. b goes straight to the oscillator. it doent connec to the xbox, hence why you need the oscillator. the coolrunner comes with wires for slim and phats. use those wires from the phat to connect 3.3v and ground.
