Do you have homebrew applications like XEX Menu or FreeStyle Dashboard? if yes then read how to update a Jtag / RGH Xbox 360.

If all you can to is play burned games, simply update the console with the latest Xbox 360 Dashboard / System Update 2.0.16756.0 and newer games will work, however updating will remove the ability to play burned games.

You really do need to be 100% sure about what type of modification has been done to the Xbox 360, otherwise you risk breaking it when updating.

thanks for your answer Insane Nutter.
Is there a way to know what type of crack it have by looking inside or at some configuration.

I have exe for mac.
i don't have access easily to a pc, to do modification like how to update a Jtag / RGH Xbox 360 we need one or it same with mac.

is there a way that is less risky between both solution.

thanks again.

You can look inside, if its modified you will have a glitch chip or some wires soldered for the jtag hack, however you should be able to tell by what is on the console. E.g. do you have any home-brew apps?

You could download, unzip and burn this ISO to a disc, if your console can load XEX Menu from it then you have a Jtag / RGH console.

An even simpler way to know which mod u have no need of opening the case or complex stuff.

Simple when your Xbox is on standby ( its standby when the xbox is off but power is connected and ur Adapted has an orange light)
so when u have it on stand by press the button which ejects/opens ur Dvd drive tray then u console will most likely turn on (Do not press the powerbutton) if u wait for a while you will see the screen turn blue and some big text saying "XELL RELOADED" or "Xell" anything like that if u do see this happen u have a Rgh/Jtag console.

If it turns on like normal Xbox and goes to the Xbox dashbord its a normal box with a flashed drive.

Good thinking abmhaider, totally slipped my mind!

Remember that really old versions of Xell do not work over HDMI so you might get a black screen depending on the version of Xell and how the console is connected to the TV. However you will know what type of mod your console has either way.

SO i have test both of your solution:
burn this ISO to a disc : did not work
Admhaider solution : it turns on like normal Xbox and goes to the Xbox dashboard. it plug with cable 2 red, white blue and green.

i imagine i have normal box with a flashed drive.

Do i need to make other test or we are sure that is this type of crack.

and from this what do i need to do to play the newer game?

thanks again both of you!!!

You have a flashed drive, however because the console is on the 9199 dashboard when you update the DVD drive is going to be flashed with newer stock firmware capable of reading newer games. This means when you update you essentially will not have a modified console. You will only be able to play originals.

I have try
update the console with the latest Xbox 360 Dashboard / System Update 2.0.16756.0
but it fail.

the x-box detect the usb update: ( i have try with the cd to )
update required
- yes update now
update in progress.
update failed ( no error message )
- Can't process the update. If the problem persists go to x-box support.
- continue.

Is this a common problem, is there solution.

Most likely the console will need the DVD drive flashing back to the stock firmware, so it can then be updated. To do this will vary from console to console, however you need to follow the Jungle Flasher tutorial here: Simple File Sharing and Storage.

thanks for that the link did not work, but i have google jungle flach,
i have look at this. http://bazicenter.com/tutorial/Download_Center/Firmware_Tools/jftut1.4.0.FINAL 3.pdf
now i know that it complicated and i have a
LiteOn drive
but what is Phats: Firmware versions 74850C , 83850C , 83850C v2, 93450C
is it my dashboard is 2.0.9199.0.

i don't have a pc but i will keep you updated eventually when i try to do it, and if it work.
if you have other advice let me know.

big thanks for your time

Your not going to do this without some sort of PC / Laptop unfortunately, "74850C , 83850C , 83850C v2, 93450C" are various Xbox 360 drives / firmware, you can see which drive you have by looking on the top of the Xbox's disc drive.
