  • It’s really easy. I had no microsoldering skills before, but Ive soldered many other parts so I have experience. I’ve modded 6 Xboxes for friends and family and now I can do one in about 30 minutes including flashing the NAND.

    Many people are going the bad update route where you must softmod the Xbox Everytime you turn it on. Sometimes it takes 20 seconds, sometimes you have to try 10 or 15 times to get the mod to work. The people behind bad update are working on it constantly, so who knows, they may find a way to make it boot instantly 100% of the time.

    But for now hard modding and soldering are the best permanent ways to mod the Phat and Slim models of the Xbox 360.





  • The only thing that sucks about switching to linux is moving my external NTFS USB drives to my new linux server.

    Linux HATES NTFS, hates usb drivers, and hates external drives that aren’t formatted to ext4. fstab doesn’t work for my WD Elements, so i just gave up and shucked the drive and put it inside.

    I can’t fit 5 3.5" hard drives in my SFF dell 3070, so i’m stuck on windows right now, but they keep doing random updates the last few weeks and my windows explorer freezes constantly and my computer barely works. So i’m going to have to switch to linux and possibly reformat all 36TB’s to ext4. Not excited about that at all.

    So either reformat all my external drives, buy a very expensive NAS with an external SATA port and hope my motherboard recognizes them.
