I will be going over how to install XBR and Xell onto your Xbox 360. Installing XBR allows you to do many things such run unsigned code(homebrew), install any sized hard drive(even 3.5in desktop hdds!), ftp into your box, and custom dashboards. There are endless possibilities with being able to run any code you want. You are able to modify Xbox 360 games to run custom maps and cheats. You can also launch games off the hard drive without a disc. It should cost you around $5 in parts, maybe even free if you have the parts already.

Signing UpStep 1Finding out if your Xbox is exploitable
Your kernel must be kernel 2.0.7371.0 or lower for this to work. You can do this by opening up the system info tab. After there is one more step to check if it still is exploitable, but you have to build your cable to dump your nand first.

1. make shure 360 is plugged in both wall and motherboard
2.make shure plugged up to lpt good and snug
no results then go into to system bios and check if lpt is
1. enabled
2. set to EPP+ECP mode or into normal if in EPP+ECP
still no results
1.check soldering
2.check soldering
3.check soldering
nothing again?
1.check direction of diodes
2.add/remove the 100 ohm resisters on pins 1,2,14,16,17
nothing again bad lpt port/xbox
While trying to read your nand, you get the flashconfig of 0x12000 and/or error: 0 reading block recheck all your points to the m/board. I spent a couple of hours trying to figure out what is wrong. In the end I removed and resoldered all my points again and it worked.
Reading your nand, a message of "error: 0 reading block xyz" doen't mean you have zero errors, it means it can't read the nand. (Probable resolder time)

Means your soldering is bad or you haven't attached the power lead to your xbox (Don't switch your xbox on, just give it power. This powers the eeprom so you can read and write to it). Word of Warning. It can't be in a RROD mode at this point as it still won't read even if your soldering is perfect.
Get several nand backups and compare them with a hex compare tool like wxHexEditor. There should be no differences
As it takes an age to backup the nand, you might want to consider writing yourself a batch file to collect 4 copies of your nand or copy the 4 lines below and paste onto a dos window (they will run in turn)
nandpro lpt: -r16 nand2.bin > logfile.txt 2>&1
nandpro lpt: -r16 nand3.bin >> logfile.txt 2>&1
nandpro lpt: -r16 nand4.bin >> logfile.txt 2>&1
nandpro lpt: -r16 nand.bin >> logfile.txt 2>&1
You could set this off before you go to bed and when your up the next morning, you should have 4 nand.bin files waiting for you.
If your running Degraded to initially check the flash file and it keeps crashing on you, Open it up again and click "settings". Set the following 2 settings
1BL key an enter DD88AD0C9ED669E7B56794FB68563EFA and tick the box.
File system start to 39.
If you've already done this, open a .bin file in a hex editor and look for the string near the top of the file:
2004 - 2007
Change it to:
2004 - 2005
and write back/save the file. Downgraded should open the file now.... or use 360 flash tool at the top of this guide if you give up
If you don't like soldering, erm well tough really - neither do I, but you could buy a NandD-X (google it). Currently £27 or $40US. These are pins that are soldered onto your m/board, but you can't go too far wrong with them. They connect back to a box of tricks which sends the data via usb back toy your PC. This solution looks very neat, but if your tight like me and would like to reuse your item, you could look into getting just the "NAND-X Pin Header Cable" (google with quotes) £3 or $4.50, chop the ends off and attach to your LPT port cable *WITH RESISTORS AND DIODE" or buy some pin headers from ebay and make your own pin headers up ("8PIN GOLD DIP IC SOCKET PANEL ADAPTER SWAPPING"). Solder one to your m/board and cables to another. They can act like plug and socket then, so you can flash again at a later date without resoldering again. Note: Untested. Just bought from ebay 30 mins ago (£1.30 for 10.)
Persevere. It will take a while, but you will get there. From 1 week ago when I had no idea about the 360 to now, running FreeStyle Dash and putting it back in its case for good.
I think a "Hands-on" instructional video, actually showing this info would help tremendously and curb the massive amount of failure questions.
just curious. please someone reply soon.

Can not continue
help !!?????
anyway, i got this too (about 5 mins ago so idk if its solved permanately)
and i fixed it simply by rebooting xbox with disc drive closed, and with a bit of luck, opening it at the right time... it booted flawlessly.. (without xexloader or whatever it is)
my question: is it supposed to stop at "Listening on port [blah blah blah]"???
Try this tutorial instead
