Team Xecuter Xbox 360 Firmware Hack Update
Team Xecuter has made progress with a new read/patch/write application which they will soon release to the public. The application will basically upgrade the firmware of your DVD-ROM once you hook your DVD-ROM up to your PC. Once the DVD-ROM is back in your 360 you should be able to play game copies. This will not however allow you to execute unsigned code on the 360 yet which means no cool homebrew. I would think that the Bill Gates empire will be shaking in their boots once they hear this news.

We have made some progress with a new read/patch/write app and no doubt you will all be plugging in your drives to your PC and having some fun shortly – all for free too as no modchips required (and yes we still want to play!)
Here is what we envisage…
* Connect Xbox 360 DVD-ROM to PC
* App to update firmware with magic code
* Connect DVD-ROM back to 360 – and away you go
Also this site has some killer information: http://www.kev.nu/360/dvdshort.html [posted yesterday on x-s, more info on what it is here]
Obviousley the only use for this is piracy – hence you wont see any modchips (not from us at least – however they wouldn’t be needed anyway – however we do have a few cheap tools to make life much easier – more on that soon). Still a long long way off from unsigned code – but it’s a start….
Thanks to The Specialist for reviving the scene! We understand he doesn’t want to release anything due to possible backlash – but there are many of us who would – and will.
