Jailbreak.

Important to note: this exploit is not persistent, meaning you’ll have to redo it anytime the console is shut down or crashes. The 360 doesn’t suspend, so unless you leave it on you’ll be doing the exploit a lot.

In addition it’s only successful 30% of the time, so you have to try the exploit multiple times each time the console boots.

Great progress though - hopefully it leads to something more permanent.

Good to know. Yeah, definitely a great start.

The 360 doesn’t suspend, so unless you leave it on you’ll be doing the exploit a lot.

With its capacative power button and where I have it placed, my dogs are really really bad about hitting it with their noses and powering it on/off 😆
