Using an Xbox Live profile on a Jtagged / RGH hacked Xbox 360 and staying safe

Alright, thanks for the fast replies

 

Btw, if you have the freestyle plugin enabled in the aurora it will still add data to the profile even if you sign in an offline profile, then switch to a live profile.

 

But when you hit the menu with the freestyle plugin it shows the temperatures and the litle menu on bottom with title id and disc, so that's like a homebrew in background, right?

 

Hi, I'm dumb and have been using X360GameHack to patch all my games for years until recently what i was wondering is are all my old games Patched with X360GameHack safe to play on a LIVE enabled profile or would that be a no, I just recently found out Dashlaunch bypasses all the checks anyways and there is no need for X360GameHack anymore thanks.

Hello all,
I apologise for posting on a rather dead thread; however, I believe I cannot be the only one still playing around with a JTAG in 2020.

My brother, upon learning that I'd owned a modified Xbox 360, asked if it were possible to use cheats (i.e. trainers) and earn achievements. Naturally, as a CS student I was curious and came upon this thread.

Using essentially the same technique outlined by others earlier I cross-referenced a test profile in a hex editor (in my case, FlexHex).

Using the launch title Gun and Fallout 3, I found that using a trainer makes absolutely no alterations to a profile.

A quick rundown of what I did:

• Signed into the game on a new profile (created on the modified Xbox)
• Played the game for a short period
• Signed out
• Copied the profile to a PC, my control profile.
• Then started the games again after initializing a trainer launcher using FSD's file manager.
• Signed into the profile in-game.
• Activated the trainers and enabling all cheats
• Played the game, again for a short period.
• Signed out.
• Moved to PC.
• Compared my control profile to the one on the pen drive.
• No difference.

I did, amidst all that, also try a profile (that had most recently played the respective game) from another non-modified Xbox and the files did change immediately even just running the game through the original dashboard.
I'm not familiar with what data is precisely stored in an Xbox profile and I can only guess may have something to do with the OS version or logging the serial number of all consoles that profiles has been on, or something.

Someone who knows more than me on this could perhaps explain what is going on there.

But running a trainer seems to make no difference, at least in my two tests.

Side-note: If you decide to try this test yourself be careful which game you choose as some games (Halo, for example) alter data in the profile thereby rendering it pointless.

I hope this helps someone.

 

Does anyone know if just having a stealth server installed modifies the profile? I’d check for myself but I’m not really sure what I’d be looking for (sort of new to Hex editing and RGH stuff in general). I’ve been playing a game offline but I forgot my stealth server was enabled in the plugins (but wasn’t connected to the internet). Is this something that puts me at a significant risk?

 

Yeah I ended up checking myself with a fresh profile like you did. Made a fresh account on standard dash with no Stealth, and then compared it after logging in and doing nothing else with the stealth enabled (again no internet connection). The two files were different towards the end of the file. There was a 16 KB difference in size too. So yeah, gonna keep stealth completely off unless I need it.

thanks for the quick response by the way!

EDIT: side question, if I use my main account with no stealth offline for achievements, but use stealth with a dummy (with my main account removed from the console) is that going to significantly raise risk? Or should I just get a second RGH if I want to do stuff like that?

 

Hello everyone,
sorry for digging up this old thread but as of now it still seems to be the only detailed thread about this topic anywhere and it has been repeatedly linked on other sites.
I recently bought my first RGH, so I am quite new to Xbox modding. Still, I've made some interesting discoveries while trying to sync my trophies earned on an RGH via a stock Xbox 360.

First, I tried playing the Orange Box on both of my 360s with a newly created account to see if the accounts match afterwards (I used the Hex Editor shown in the first post.). They unsurprisingly did match, so i thought I was safe to play other games on my RGH and then sync the trophies via my stock 360.
When I first used my Xbox Live account however something strange happened. The trophies synced normally and my profile was updated. But after logging in again after a few days Microsoft asked me to update my security info in order to be able to login again. I did and I could log in again. Still, I was a little scared by that message, so I decided to create a dummy Live-Account, play some games and sync the trophies again. At first, everything worked fine but after two days my account received a compliance lock for violating the TOS. I could unlock the account by typing in a security code received via SMS, but it made me kind of paranoid afterwards.
Both accounts had only been used to view achievements on the standard dashboard and in game (logged in after launching a game via Xex Menu and logged out before quitting to the dashboard) but Microsoft still seemed to notice something.

tl;dr I received a compliance lock after syncing my RGH via a stock 360 trophies even though I had never been logged in while using homebrew. Has anyone ever had a similar experience?
I hope not.

 

Thanks for the reply!
I transfer my files via USB flash drive. Unfortunately, I had to format it as a storage device probably because the dashboard of my RGH hasn't been updated since 2014 and it won't recognize normal FAT 32 flash drives as opposed to my other Xbox 360.

As for the other things, I can rule out at least a few of them:

• My games have been ripped from ISOs. I also compared some of them with ISOs on the net and couldn't find a difference.
• All games have been retail versions.
• The console doesn't seem to be banned. I can't go online to check but all the profiles I used on it don't show up as corrupted data on my stock 360.
• It is not connected to the net.
• All the achievements are legit. I Played 10-15 Mins. of Quake 4, Saints Row and Kane & Lynch to earn some easy achievements for the purpose of this test.

Maybe the lock happened due to the Xbox-Live account being new and pretty much unused except for the syncing of the trophies? Or is is possible that the pretty old dashboard is to blame for the trouble?
I've also noticed that any Live profile I've used on my RGH takes very long to connect to Xbox Live on my other Xbox. Sometimes it won't connect at all until I reboot it.
