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

the Bad Update exploit, DaTArrest, FreeMyXe, XeUnshackle, are all free pieces of software that are freely available to download and easy to copy to any USB stick.
if you have paid money for them, you have been scammed!

Pandora is/was by far the easiest way to connect to Xbins, which legitimately hosts downloads for a lot of 360 homebrew too, like Dashlaunch, xeBuild, FreeStyleDash 3, NXE2GOD, Mupen64, Snes360, etc
this kind of abuse of DMCAs is concerning for the health of not just OG Xbox, but 360 modding too

MakeMHz has issued a DMCA takedown against Pandora, an automated way of accessing Xbins. Xbins is a repository of homebrew apps, games, and BIOSes for the Original Xbox that has been around for many, many years. Xbins still exists, but Pandora is now unavailable to download or be developed publicly.

This agreement helps build trust, it allows anyone to check the code and make sure it's safe, even if the distributed binary is not the same.
It also helps if a game update releases and mods are no longer compatible, it'd allow anyone to send patches so they can work again.
Open-source your mods!

FreeMyXe is NOT the hypervisor exploit.
Updates will never improve success rate.
Updates will never make it persistent.
Updates will never turn it into a softmod.
Please stop asking, please stop expecting things to happen.

In case you're looking for a slightly technical bit of information about some of the patches done by xeBuild (on RGH) and FreeMyXe (on BadUpdate), I made a thread that you might find interesting:
i'd post this on the xfox account but since it's a bit too Nerd Shit and Technical, it'll go here. let's make a thread about some Xbox 360 hypervisor patches!!
part of the xeBuild patch set (and FreeMyXe b5) is loading devkit-encrypted XEX files. but how does this work? (1/9)

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.

FreeMyXe beta5 has been released, with an addition that way more homebrew should work *without* needing to be "patched" beforehand.
(Nerd info: XEX files made with the devkit key will now load, which most homebrew apps are. *Not* dev builds of games.)

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.
