Xbox 360 BadUpdate 1.3 Download - Retail Xbox 360 Exploit (USB) by Grimdoomer

[Trisha Takanawa]

BadUpdate is a free exploit for retail (unmodded) Xbox 360 consoles on the final 17559 system software, by Grimdoomer. It lets an ordinary console, with no hardware modification, run unsigned code from a USB drive. It is not a persistent softmod: the console returns to normal when it is powered off or restarted, and the exploit has to be run again each time.

This is the official BadUpdate 1.3 USB package (Xbox360BadUpdate-Retail-USB-v1.3), unchanged. It contains the BadUpdatePayload folder (the exploit stages and a default.xex) and the Content folder holding the exploit save for the game.

How to install / use:

1. Format a USB drive as FAT32 and copy the contents of the zip to its root, so that BadUpdatePayload and Content sit at the top.
2. To run something useful once the exploit fires, replace BadUpdatePayload/default.xex with a payload such as XeUnshackle or FreeMyXe (both on Digiex).
3. Disconnect the console from the network, plug the USB drive in and start the game the package is built for. Follow the exploit instructions in the official project page.
4. When the exploit succeeds, the payload loads. Plug the network cable back in only if your payload needs it.

Not included: The exploit needs a copy of the game it is built around; Digiex does not host game data. It only works on consoles on the last dashboard, 17559.
