Xbox 360 consoles can now be hacked with just a USB key. A new BadUpdate exploit bypasses Microsoft's Hypervisor protections on the Xbox 360 to run homebrew apps and games. Details below 👇 www.theverge.com/news/631102/...

since people have been trying this, I'm putting out a warning that you should **NOT** change or delete the boot animation after running BadUpdate. You will lose access to BadUpdate, since the exploit will always fail. (it relies on the boot animation during "stage2")

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.

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

I had no idea that BadUpdate doesn't work with the game rating restriction on (because RBB and THAW are rated T).
That's a challenge waiting for someone to add support for an E rated game so people can use BadUpdate and my Parental Control Remover app to unlock their system!

Do not try to flash the NAND if you are using BadUpdate. Do not edit any file on the NAND. Do not run any tool that modifies the NAND (e.g. Dashlaunch's Installer).

putting it out there again - BadUpdate is not at all intended to be a replacement for an RGH. if you want something reliable, persistent and fully compatible, get an RGH console or mod your own yourself
This isn't supposed to replace or be an alternative to an RGH - a well-installed RGH will always be better if you have any non-Winchester 360, and it'll let you do way more stuff way faster. This is also not, and never will be, a full "CFW" or typical "softmod" or "jailbreak"
Also trans rights.

I successfully RGH'd my Xbox 360 using BadUpdate as a nand flasher.
This is an incredible accomplishment, RGH3 is now a 2 wire solder job.
The points are still not easy to solder to, but I did it with cheap equipment and it still works.
