XeUnshackle BETA 1.03 Download - Homebrew and DashLaunch for Retail Xbox 360 (BadUpdate)

[Trisha Takanawa]

XeUnshackle is a payload for the BadUpdate exploit by Byrom90. When BadUpdate fires on a retail Xbox 360, XeUnshackle loads, patches the console in memory and starts DashLaunch, so you can run homebrew, load plugins and connect from Xbox Neighborhood or JRPC2 tools. It is not a persistent softmod: the console returns to normal at power-off.

Download XeUnshackle 1.03

This is the official XeUnshackle BETA v1.03 release, unchanged apart from removing the wrapper folder so the files sit at the zip root. It includes DashLaunch (launch.ini), Xbdm.xex, JRPC2.xex and BadStorage for large internal drives.

How to install / use:

1. Set up a USB drive with the BadUpdate files for your preferred game (BadUpdate 1.3 is on Digiex).
2. Copy everything in this zip to the drive and accept the prompt to replace default.xex in BadUpdatePayload.
3. Disconnect the Ethernet cable as a precaution, insert the drive and launch the exploit from the game.
4. When XeUnshackle loads, plug the cable back in before exiting if you need network access.

Not included: Keep the USB drive plugged in: DashLaunch's key executable is copied to your storage device and must stay available. The author warns that stealth server plugins are used at your own risk, because a ban on a retail console cannot be undone; dump your NAND first (Simple 360 NAND Flasher is on Digiex).
