XBOX 360 firmware. Firmware update.

High-quality XBOX 360 firmware in our service means, first of all, saving financial costs for game discs. Now you don't have to spend 1500 - 3500 rubles for one game. You can buy and use cheap discs for 150 - 300 rubles or burn them yourself by downloading the game you need from the Internet.

How can you find out which motherboard is installed.

Today it is possible to flash consoles with any drive.

First you need to look at the release date of the console, which is located on the back of the console above the barcode.

In the Slim generation, there are drives that can be flashed only by replacing the drive board or the drive as a whole (Liteon 16D5S, Hitachi). Still, basically (from the beginning of the Slim model until September 2011) there are Liteon 16D4S drives that can be flashed using the old method (without replacing the board or the entire drive). Previously non-flashable 16D5S began to be installed from 08/17/2011, but as an exception mixed with the flashable 16D4S, which were released in September 2011. All consoles with 16D5S drives have been installed since October 2011.
Despite its rarity, the Hitachi drive can be found on consoles released since November 2010.

There are also exceptions to the 2012 set-top boxes. Only those that have a Trinity motherboard can be flashed using the old method, although they also come across with Hitachi drives. You can distinguish Trinity from Corona by the current strength at 12V, which is written on the back of the console.

10.83A- Trinity, 9.6A- Corona

You can distinguish Hitachi from Liteon by the disk tray

You can distinguish the flashing Liteon 16D4S from the previously unflashable 16D5S by the sounds of the laser carriage. To do this, remove the disc from the drive, then, after restarting the set-top box, listen to the sounds that are emitted when the console is turned on:

Previously non-flashing Liteon 16D5S and Hitachi drives can now be flashed by replacing its non-flashing motherboard with a flashing LTU2 Perfect Version, which has full compatibility and functionality with LT Plus 3.0. In addition to replacing the board, it is necessary to read the key from the motherboard.

Our advantages

• For firmware we use only professional equipment, which has been proven by many years of practice.
• During flashing, we do not use the console itself as a power source for the drive, which can lead to a malfunction of the south bridge.
• We remove the update error as a gift, which may appear on consoles released before 2010, if you agree to the work performed.
• Eliminate the problem of a jammed DVD drive tray as a bonus when you do not need to replace any of the drive components.
• After completing the work, we test the flashed console using safe methods, as a result of which malfunctions of the DVD drive can be identified.

Answers to frequently asked questions

What XBOX 360 can I flash?

Any models up to and including 2014, except those with a Winchester motherboard.

I have a 2014 console. Can I flash it?

Yes, but only if there is a Corona motherboard.

Do you still have access to XBOX Live?

Since the latest firmware versions are used - LT Plus 3.0, the likelihood of being banned in Live due to an altered drive is reduced to zero.

The drive firmware does not affect the reading of the license in any way.

Firmware and parts warranty

• Fat The version does not require any intervention in the hardware of the drive, but only in the software, so the warranty for the firmware cannot be extended, since it never fails by itself.
• Slim drive unit Liteon D4S- (chip drilling / cutting and soldering the drive board tracks) indefinitely. We are confident in the quality of our work, and if the drive board becomes faulty over time through our fault, then we will replace it at our expense.
• Slim drive unit Hitachi / Liteon D5S and version E- 3 months. We only use the very best LTU drive boards that are sourced directly from an authorized reseller.

It may seem like a magic box, miraculously opening a portal to virtual reality. Indeed, video games are a bit like magic - a disc is inserted into the console, and a parallel dimension opens on the screen, in which you can travel, fight, build, build relationships with game characters, unravel riddles ...

Then, as a person delves deeper into the essence of the game itself and into the technology of the console, the areola of magic flutters (although it is unlikely to disappear completely for truly passionate gamers). Then we gradually begin to understand that games are created by development teams and are complex program code. And the hardware of the console is the high-tech parts used in many modern gadgets. And that there is a special firmware, or a set of software tools that allows hardware to recognize and run games.

This delving into and deconstructing the magic of video games can be quite rewarding for console users. After all, even a schematic understanding of the components of the set-top box and the processes taking place in it helps to quickly cope with emerging difficulties, to make the necessary improvements in a timely manner. For example, knowledge of the Xbox firmware will give you an idea of ​​whether you need to update your console software from Microsoft, when and how best to do it.

Z Why does the firmware change?

Game consoles are produced by manufacturers with an operating system already installed, without which the console simply could not be turned on, not to mention the impossibility of launching games or accessing other exciting features. But the evolution of the console does not stop after one model leaves the assembly line - the development is taking place both in terms of improving the internal filling and in terms of operating system development.

Official Xbox 360 firmware updates and Xbox one available from Microsoft can be downloaded from the Internet. There is also third party software for this game console. These types of firmware are required for specific purposes.

LT + for Xbox

The fact is that licensed Xbox games cost quite substantial money, and the console itself is "locked", that is, at the software level it is configured to accept exclusively branded disks. To be able to run pirated products, the Xbox drive firmware must be replaced. This will also allow you to independently burn games downloaded from the Internet to an optical disc, and then run them on the console.

The LT + drive firmware is very popular and functional. This software was released with serial number 2.0, but now a more recent Xbox firmware LT 3 0 has been created. The outdated version has a very serious drawback - Microsoft programmers taught their Xbox-Live online service detect non-branded firmware, and ban for its use. This means that the owner of such a console will not be able to immerse himself in multiplayer network games, and this significantly reduces the possibilities of virtual entertainment. But firmware 3 0 Xbox 360 completely devoid of this drawback, and after installing it, you can run absolutely any games on the console.

How to flash XBox

The Xbox 360 firmware can even be done independently. To do this, you need to carry out some manipulations with the console itself and with a personal computer. To decide on a flashing, you need to have a good understanding of both the hardware and the computer software environment. In addition, it is imperative to use detailed and reliable instructions.

Flashing XBox is by no means an easy task, and if you are not particularly versed in the filling and programs of the game console, then it would be better to turn to professionals for this. For example, in our online store, firmware Xbox 360 SPb.

Consider the firmware version of your Xbox when burning discs

It should be understood that the sequence number also affects which disks your console will be able to run. If you download a game from the network and plan to burn it to disk, you will need to do this taking into account the version of your firmware. For this, certain parameters are set in the programs for copying optical discs. You should also learn about them in the corresponding detailed instructions.

Freeboot - "jailbroken" game console system software!

In addition to installing special software for the drive, there is another way to "jailbreak" the Xbox, which gives you much more opportunities to use unlicensed products than just running pirated discs. This is a replacement for the proprietary console software for "jailbroken" software. Such a Dashboard (that is, the operating system of the game console) will be called Freeboot. Unlike LT +, where the "hacking" concerned only the console drive, Freebut changes the software environment of the entire system.

Freeboot firmware allows you to run games from absolutely any media. For example, from a regular flash drive and an external hard drive. In addition, you can install a new hard drive on your Xbox, regardless of its size - it will be enough to reformat it using the console itself.

Of course, the main purpose of Fribet is to save the user's money. To the already voiced advantages of the "hacked" XBox, you can add free launch of any add-ons to already installed games. Developers usually charge additional fees for them. If install Freeboot Xbox 360, then on the console it will turn out to use "home-made programs", like emulators of old game consoles, created by enthusiastic developers. XBox owners with Freebie will be able to launch games without regard to their regional attachment.

Freeboot installation requires professional skills, and it really should be entrusted to specialists (for example, those who work in the PiterPlay store). In fact, this kind of "jailbreak" means installing a modified chip on the motherboard of the game console. After such a procedure, the Xbox will begin a "new life". But this does not at all concern the quality and duration of the console - the hardware of the console will work just as well. And new software capabilities can give the user more freedom.

Questionable ethics of flashing

It should be understood that the modern gaming industry lives and develops largely due to the constant infusion of money from end users into it. That is, by buying discs and updates, gamers give developers the means to create new game masterpieces.

In this vein, flashing the Xbox 360 with "pirated" Dashboards or installing "jailbroken" software on the console drives can have very negative consequences - if everyone starts doing this, the video game industry itself will die from lack of money. Developers will not release new toys, console makers will stop working on better models.

What is unlicensed Xbox One firmware generally exists - of course, the blessing! After all, not all gamers have the opportunity to buy expensive discs and pay to install add-ons to their favorite games. But it is necessary to use "pirated" products rationally, respecting the work of developers and, if possible, contributing to the development of the wonderful world of video games.

How to Flash Xbox 360?

Xbox 360 is a game console from Microsoft, released since 2005. The console is controlled by its own operating system, developed by Microsoft specifically for this model of set-top box.

Normally, the set-top box can only read licensed discs issued by the manufacturer. However, disks for Xbox360 are quite expensive, sometimes you cannot always find the desired game on store shelves, and it can take a very long time to wait for an order from an online store.
