Leaked 'New Xbox Experience' Installs on Modded 360s? Posted by XanTium | July 28 00:31 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From xhavok87.wordpress.com: [QUOTE] The new "Xbox Experience" Fall Dashboard has been leaked on the web and I had a chance to crack at it. Update9: It has finally been done but NOTE, only modded systems at this point are able to do the install. The process is quite easy if you cannot figure it out but will not be released at this time. A fellow member here by the name of xg4m3r has discovered a path for modded consoles to install the update as you can see in the video below. Like I said in update 8 we are still working on this process to see if we can manage anything on retail consoles. We are not releasing anything at this time but more news is to come soon. Enjoy for tonight because tomorrow should be a whole other day! See you soon! NOTE: Your Xbox 360 NEEDS to have the Infectus 2 Chip in the system for this work. Not just a modded FW hack the chip is required also. Sorry for the confusion! Some other info: * Update Works On Dev/Test Units Right Out The Box! * A Call From M$ During The Update Is Asking For MAC Address from the XBox 360 to validate install. * Beta Stage 2 Release Begins In Mid August!

wow sounds fun, cant wait :]

Im not so sure on the "it only installs on modded 360s thing"

I am guessing because it got leaked on a dual layer DVD (or some sort of burned media) which a unmodded xbox won't read.

looks cool, I'm sure will have it at work a few months before then

Maybe if you read a little bit...It says only consoles that have the INfectus 2 Chip installed can accomplish this... So no not the popular firmware hack...

A Call From M$ During The Update Is Asking For MAC Address from the XBox 360 to validate install.

Am I the only one scratching their head over this?


Edit: I answered my own question

Quoted from http://xhavok87.wordpress.com

In that code from the CertPack file in the directory of the update, shows that there is a security check in the update during install to verify the Console is on a certain acceptance list from M$ to allows the continuance of the installation. Seems like there is more then 1 route to go with the installation. Right now the only thing I can think of to get it working is the following…

1. Have a update higher then public release with the required .xex files as stated on other sites.
2. Proxy with Xbox 360 to allow bypass of this check. (Which I’m Currently Working On Right Now)

Also, I found this little bit intresting...

Ok so now we possibly have a breakthrough on retail consoles. As you all should know by now the Update Files are all RSA Signed and almost impossible to edit the files. But thanks to a “Team Member”, we might have found a way to “Resign the PIRS Containers”, which is used to validate the Xbox information allowing the install to go through.

I thought this was fake? Remember it didn't show up here first. LOL

I'd like to just see him do stuff on it to show if it is faster, show what it looks like (capture card would be nice).

From what I saw when he was in the settings screen it seemed tons faster, but the funky letters looked weird though.

I feel like I'm missing something - does this have any relevance to homebrew?

Otherwise, installing a dashboard update a couple months early seems pretty unexciting...

[Tiptup300]

It's probably under homebrew since it's fake.

1. The images are lined up wrong, they are all supposed to be vertically aligned, the reflection tricks the eye. In that "video" they are aligned based on the horizon.

2. The top left only has two choices. It's supposed to have each category, and

3. The menu has all the categories which should be in the top left.

4. All the thumbnails are competely different and there should be avatars shown.

I've made a NXE menu myself for the zune, it turned out alright.

Microsoft will surely ban anyone who installs this and connects to Live, anyway. You can see it isn't working right in the video, so no point of installing it even if you're not on Live.

it was weird lettering cause it was in german

That would make since Seeing as all I see are english characters.

For all you people saying You dont care about a beta dash being installed, You need to think about this...M$ didnt plan for this to get around..so theres probably some holes in the dash we could exploit and maybe Fuel the fire for some possible homebrew on the system.

The beta files that were leaked a couple of days ago were the real thing and this also looks to be legit. I've been watching it progress over the last couple of days with people picking it apart and now eventually this. Whether anything useful like an exploit comes of it I have no idea but I think its pretty cool someone managed to get a leaked beta dashboard installed on their 360. Also remember it is a beta so might not be complete with all the options you'd expect to see in the final dash.
