Our server is currently down due the huge amount of hits we received yesterday. We will move to more powerful servers and we hope to be back online tomorrow.

The Devil360 will be a modchip for the Xbox 360 console, the 'small' security hole has been found! This device is in no way related to the DVD firmware exploits - it's a totally different approach.
However we did not manage to get the product ready for today (6/6/6), because we are working hard on improving it to:
* Try to protect it from any type of update
* Make it programmable via PC
* Boot unsigned code
* Allow to swap HD with larger drive with a special interface between the 360 and the HD (all types IDE/SATA).
* And more...

We understand, certainly after the ICE modchip story, that people will not easily believe this so we will send prototypes to some scene sites as soon as they are ready, so they can confirm it's real.
The modchip will be sold without any code.

We also discovered some shops already take pre-orders for this product. Do not pre-order it!
We did not announce any distributors yet and the device will not go on pre-order until at least after the prototypes have been tested/reviewed by independent sites.

hmm seems interresting...let's hope for the best

There seems to be some confusion on the net, the guys at grmods.com (known for some PS2 modchip and Xbox gen3b and cheapmod-based chips) today released images on their forums of a Dual DVD Firmware chip they are working on for the Xbox 360.
This product by grmods called 'Devil Mod 360' is not to be confused with the 'Devil360 modchip' announced yesterday. These are 2 totally different teams.

This Devil Mod 360 is another 'dual-firmare' mod for the TS-H943A Xbox 360 DVD drive. It's a PCB with a flash in a socket and solderpads to connect to the alternative points of the DVD firmware chip (as the chip itself is in epoxy). There's also a switch so you can easily switch between the original DVD firmware and the one on the 'Devil Mod 360'

Devil Mod 360 and Devil360 ...peut-être que si y choisissait des noms un peu moins parrait le monde seraient moins confu! gang de caves!

[pwel]

Un truc qui va rejouir Doum et son future mac...

A new version of Connect360(info) has been released, it's a tool to stream your music and images from your Mac OSX to your Xbox 360 console.

Well that's all good news for ya guyz!

Update on Hitachi-LG Xtreme DVD Firmware - Release Within 48h
>> From commodore4eva (who already released the Xtreme DVD Firmware for the TS-H943 drive) on xboxhacker.net:

The firmware is 99% complete and just requires one more routine to test when I get back home. I will then port the 47 code over to the 46 version. This will be released within 48 hours time.
It will not require a full firmware update, only a few banks. You will not be required to save/inject your drive key but saving a copy is always best. The checksum will be set to zero for the firmware. Since I dont have a 46 drive you people will have to test and report. I will then look at the 59 version firmware. I have only been spending one hour a night due to real life and have been away for the past three days so please be patient. Assembling with a hex editor is not fun but it gets the job done.

YEAH!

DevilMod 360 (not Devil360) Details Revealed
>> GrMods.com revealed new details about their DevilMod 360 DVD Firmware Switch Mod (not to be confused with the Devil360 project by Team Devil360):

The 1st Dual Firmware Add-On, compatible with both Toshiba-Samsung and Hitachi-LG drives of XBOX360!
Choose with the switch the firmware you wish to boot your console, between the onboard and the extra firmware chips!

DevilMod360 kit includes:
* 1x DevilMod 2 pcb with socket
* 1x SST39SF020A
* 1x External Switch

A. HARDWARE FEATURES:
* Dual Firmware Add-On to Xbox360 dvd-roms.
* Compatible with both:
1.Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943.
2.Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L.
* External Switch to control the booting chip.
* Flash Upgradeable 256Kb chip, exactly the same with the onboard one.
* Chip socket to remove/add/program SST39SF020A chips

Diagrams for:
* Toshiba-Samsung TS-H943A
* Hitachi-LG GDR-3120L
* Installation of the External Switch
Caution: Only for Profecional Installers for development perposes!
The installation requires to cut a trace from Hitachi-LG board, and one leg of the onboard firmware chip, after removing the epoxy glue from Toshiba-Samsung board.

We are probably gonna see lots of devices like this one in the coming weeks and months as it's very easy technology (like a cheapmod for the xbox1), so anyone can make it ... all you need are the parts.
*Update* Also note that while the Samsung-Toshiba debug FW does not get recognised in Windows (yet) and does require a special bios (Xtreme 0800) to dump Xbox 360 disc in Windows, the Hitachi-LG debug FW (modeb) is recognised ... so for the Hitachi-LG you will not need a special separated PC FW to read Xbox 360 discs. You can however still use the dual FW to keep the original FW so you can switch between original and hacked firmware incase Microsoft will start checking for it on LIVE (they don't do it so far though, atleast not as far as we know).

Commodore4eva Xtreme Firmware for Hitachi-LG 47D Xbox 360 DVD Drive
>> It's released! Commodore4eva, who already released a modified firmware for the Xbox1 Samsung drive and Toshiba-Samung Xbox 360 drive some time ago, now released a modified firmware (version 47D only atm, version 46 will be released later) of the Hitachi-LG Xbox360 DVD drive.
From Commodore4eva on xboxhacker.net:

Here it is, the long awaited World first Xbox 360 backup firmware modification to boot game backups on Hitachi!
http://www.xbox-scene.com/xbox1data/sep ... UrLDTt.php
Features:
* Boots all Xtreme Xbox 360 backups
* Boots all Xtreme Xbox 1 backups supported by emulator
* Boots all Xbox 360 originals
* Boots all Xbox 1 originals supported by emulator
* Use on Xbox Live at own risk

Technical details:
* Reads Xbox 360 security sector from PSN 04FB1F (Layer 0)
* Reads Xbox 1 security sector from PSN 605FF (Layer 0)
* Flashes sector 9003e000 (Master Checksum)
* Flashes sector 90035000 (Security Sector Read)
* Flashes sector 9001c000 (Drive Response Table Decrypt)
* Flashes sector 90003000 (Custom Code)
* Flashes sector 90027000 (Challenge Response)

Flashing your drive:
xtreme.bat automatically makes a backup of your dvd drive firmware called orig.bin.
Plug SATA cable from DVD drive to PC. Power cable drive still connected to Xbox 360
Ensure Hitachi drive is in mode b either by two wire trick or slax linux boot cd
Go to Windows
Run xtreme.bat batch file from a dos prompt specifing drive letter eg "xtreme.bat g"
All done!
Run restore.bat to revert to original firmware eg "restore.bat g"

Thanks to everyone at Xboxhacker.net for all their discussions. Thanks go to Seventhson for flashsec and memdump and Loser for firmcrypt, without these tools this would not be possible.

Hitachi drive seems to be less tolerant of dual layer media. Try a few times to boot a backup.
Firmware for 46 version will be released soon but I cannot test it. Code is offset slightly throughout the firmware.
