[Revolution Mega Thread] Biginner Guide to JTAGS/RGH's and XDK's - Mobbin_mybb_import7377 - 12-03-2012

Over the last 2 years, I have compiled (And a few friends) a lot of information on JTAGs & RGHs. I will be sharing with you today, not on how to RGH & JTAG, but tutorials on what to do with them.

What are RGHs & JTAGs? They are modified consoles used to get free items &
or games from the marketplace, also so you can download any game off the internet and burn it to an disk
and play on your console for free. You can also, host 'lobbies' for many COD, Halo, GTA games, etc...

Motherboards

Xbox Development Kits (XDK's),like normal Xbox 360,have motherboards.

First off, if you do not know what a motherboard is, read this;

Code:
A motherboard is a circuit board which is in many computers and electronic items (such as an Xbox 360) 
It holds many of the crucial components of the system,it also provides connectors for other peripherals such as the HDD on an Xbox 360. 

The motherboard is also known as: 

Main Board 
System Board 
Mobo

Like all other consoles it's motherboard will vary.

Here is a list of the motherboards:

Xenon (2005)
Zephyr (2007)
Falcon (2007)
Opus (2008)
Jasper (2008)
Valhalla/Vajle (2010)

The type of motherboard does not affect what the XDK can do. However, their are different types of XDK's, which I will explain later in the guide. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each XDK motherboard.

Xenon

Code:
- Cheapest Motherboard.
- Most prone to the Red Ring of Dead.(RROD)
- It being so old, a lot of these consoles have been banned from Pnet.
- Does not have HDMI.
- Most likely to break due to age/heat problems.
- Oldest type of Motherboard. (2005 motherboard).

Zypher

Code:
- Exact same as Xenon besides one change.
- Has HDMI.
- Second motherboard to be released (2007)

Falcon

Code:
- Has HDMI.
- Less prone to getting RROD.
- Heats up slower than Xenon,lowering chance of RROD.
- Not as old as xenon but not as new as Jasper or Valhalla.
- Some consoles may be banned from Pnet.

Opus

Code:
- Exact same as a Falcon besides one change.
- Does not have HDMI.
- Released 2008, but still as reliable as a Falcon.
- Little is known about them as they are rare.

Jasper

Code:
- Has HDMI.
- Has internal memory of either 256mbs or 512mbs.
- RROD is practically unknown.
- Usually not banned from Pnet as they are still used by Developers.
- Does not suffer heating up problems.
- More expensive as it is more efficient and newer.
- Second newest motherboard for XDK's.

Valhalla

Code:
- Newest motherboard (2010)
- Also known as "Vejle" motherboard.
- Very rare to be found as they are brand new, making them extremely expensive.
- Enjoys all the same perks as the Jasper.
- Even lower chance of RROD than Jaspers and much quieter.
- This motherboard is exclusive to the Xbox 360 Slim styled XDK's.

What is an XDK?

An Xbox Development Kit is a special type of Xbox 360 console produced by Microsoft. They are sold to official Microsoft developers so that they can develop content for the Xbox 360 console. They, are like Jtags, they can run unsigned code, but they are intended to be able to do this from production.

They come in four different types;

Demo Kit
Review Kit
Test Kit
Development Kit

Each of these is described in detail to an extent later in the guide. They are not able to connect to Xbox Live. However, they do have access to a different community, called Pnet.

More information is available on Pnet later in the guide.

As they have been intended to be used by developers, there is virtually no use for buying an XDK unless you are an experienced and a very good programmer/coder. If you are only looking to have fun with modding and making Call of Duty patches, you have no business buying one of these.

XDK's are very expensive compared to Jtags, this is mainly due to the fact that they are rare as Microsoft does not allow them to be released to the public, but a few have slipped through and some people own them. A lot of illegal homebrew has been created using XDK's, and a lot of this homebrew is used on Jtagged consoles, the XDK's are practically essential for developing content for Jtags.

Types of XDK'S

Here I will go into a brief description of what each of these XDK's can do.

I will start off with the simplest one, the "Demo Kit".

Demo Kit

Code:
- The "Demo Kit" allows you to play Xbox 360 games that are still under development and are yet to be officially released to the general public.
- The "Demo Kit" does not support DVD Emuation, making it not as useful for developers who need to debug and edit their game.
- These types of Kits are best used for presentation of a game in development, for expample, at E3 or other trade shows.
- They can run unsigned code and have access to Pnet.

Reviewer Kit

Code:
- These kits are usually sent to reviewers for magazines and/or websites etc.
- They can run unsigned code and can also use a sidecar.
- They do not have all the functions as a Development Kit, as these are intended to be used by reviewers.
- They come with a moderate sized HDD.

Test Kit

Code:
- This type of Kit is intended to be used by game designers, artists and game testers.
- The test console does support DVD Emulation the same as the "Demo Kit" does, allowing the owner to debug there games from there computer HDD without needing to install the game to their XDK HDD.
- These usually come with a large HDD.
- Some of these kits may come with a sidecar, others may not.

Development Kit

Code:
- The Development Kit has the hardware and the software to allow you to completely develop and release an Xbox 360 game, assuming you know how to make one.
- It allows you to debug games using Visual Studio and you can also use PIX to analyse the games' performance.
- Needs a sidecar attached to fully function as a Development Kit, although it is not necessary to have in order to use it.
- Without a sidecar it you will not be able to use it's extra functions.

How to Tell the Difference Between XDK'S

White consoles usually are Demo Kits or Test Kits.
While Grey/Black consoles are usually Development Kits or Reviewer Kits.

Demo/Test Kit Picture

Spoiler:

Development/Reviewer Kit Picture

Spoiler:

What is A Sidecar?

A sidecar is a big box like shape on top of the Kit. (as shown in the pictures) They either have one,or two USB ports on the back of them, each has their own use.
Whether they have one or two USB slots varies depending on what type of XDK you have and what console the sidecar was intended to be used with. Sidecars also makes Kernel Debugging much easier to do.

Please Note:

If you don't use a sidecar with a kit, you can use a standard power supply with it.
However, if you do use a sidecar you need a different type of power supply.
You need a 213W Power supply for it to work correctly.

Sidecar USB Ports

As stated above, a sidecar will either have one,or two USB ports. These both serve different functions, and yes, two is better than one but is more expensive as a result. Usually you will find 2 USB's on a sidecar intended for a Development Kit. If the sidecar has one USB port, that USB is used for DVD Emulation.

If the sidecar has two USB ports, the first one will be used for DVD Emulation and the second one will be used for PIX. Now I am sure you will be wondering what these two things are, so here is a brief explanation of each below.

What is DVD Emulation?

DVD Emulation allows you to play or debug games that are a work in project directly from your computers hard drive without the need to transfer the game onto the Kit.

What is PIX?

PIX (Performance Investigator for Xbox) basically allows you to see your CPU output.

What is Pnet?

Pnet is "Partner Net".

Pnet is like Xbox Live, but for XKD's only and it is also completely free.

XDK's cannot access Xbox Live at all.

However, they can connect to Pnet, where they can play games online and access free download for upcoming game content and current game comment.

Yes I said upcoming game content, developers sometimes released DLC to Pnet first so it can be tested out and then find glitches and fix them before they release it onto Xbox Live for the General Public to access and download.

Some XDK's may be flagged by Microsoft, and will be stopped from connecting to Pnet.

This usually happens when an XDK travels a long distances and Microsoft notices, what I mean by this is if it was in use in the United States and was sold to someone in Europe, if they notice the huge change in location,they may decided to flag it.

It would be good to take into account that Pnet has no where near the amount of users as Xbox Live has, actually it is substantially less users than Xbox Live, but that should be pretty obvious due to the fact that XDK's are not intended to be used by the public.

Movies and other media are not available sadly, but all content available is completely free to download.

Please note that Pnet does not hold downloads for long periods of time like Xbox Live, you may only download items that have been added recently.

XDK Uses

XDK's have quite a few uses.
However, you should not consider buying one unless you fit into one or more of these categories.

A professional programmer/coder
Very rich with money to waste
A skilled programmer/coder

If you are not one of these, you should not be looking to buy one. As you can guess by there name, they are Xbox 360 Development Kits. They can develop Xbox 360 games and are able to test the game projects out allowing you to test them for any issues they may have and then you have to return to coding them to attempt the fix the problem.

They can also run unsigned code,which is pretty obvious. They can save games to the HDD and run them without the disk. (Please note the games have to be patched on a computer first) Using Pnet,you can play un-release and un-finished games that have been uploaded to Pnet by their Developers.

You can change to any desired motherboard as long as you have the recovery for it. This means you can be on Kinect Dash, and then downgrade to an older dash board without blowing your efuses and bricking your console. HDD's are not locked to a console, allowing them to be any size.

Play Homebrew.

Backup games to your computer for safety. They are multi-region, meaning all types of games work, European, American, Japaneses etc.

Take screenshots or videos of your gameplay.

WARNINGS

If your XDK gets any errors or RROD, you have to fix it yourself, it is not under warranty and cannot be sent to Microsoft.

They are very expensive to buy, and like Jtags, the newer the motherboard, the more expensive the cost. Not all patched games will play on an XDK.

FAQ's

Spoiler:
Q. Can you make accounts preloaded with MS Points?

A. I've heard about a "hack" allowing you to,but I am not sure and know nothing about this "hack".

Q. Can I get free XBL accounts using a Dev Kit?

A. This answer is the same as the Q. above.

Q. What should I get,Jtag or Dev Kit?

A. Expert Coded = Dev Kit, Fun Mods = Jtag.

Q. How much do they cost?

A. The prices vary depending on the seller.

Q. Are they illegal?

A. I think they are if you are not the registered developer (owner).

Q. Can they run homebrew like a Jtag?

A. They can run unsigned code,so I would assume so.

Q. Can I host XBL lobbies with these?

A. *Facepalm* No,you cannot connect to XBL.

Q. What is a "Recovery"?

A. It is the dash board version on an XDK.

It is the equivalent of the Kernel of a retail Xbox 360.

Q. How to put a Recovery on an XDK?

A. Either put the ISO onto the console or send it over a network connection.

Q. Can I downgrade my Recovery without blowing efuses?

A. Yes you can,just install the desired Recovery and you are good to go.

Step nine: Open up Jungle Flasher v0.1.83b, and go to the "DVDKey 32" and select "PhatKey".

Step ten: Go back to your drive using the Probe III. While hovering over point MPX01, turn off the drive by pressing down on the Probe III switch and quickly probe the point, MPX01, when you have the Probe III on the point let go of the switch and Jungle Flasher should go Status 52. You can now put the Probe aside.

Step eleven: You'll get a pop-up message saying "Extract Complete!", you'll then want to save all six keys somewhere safe.

Step twelve: It'll want ask to auto-load LT 1.9, click "Yes". You should then make sure the drive keys are the same. (DVDKey 32 and iXtreme LT 1.9)

Step thirteen: If they match, you can continue to the "MTK Flash 32" tab, and selecting "LiteOn Erase" from the 360 Tools area.

Step fourteen: Confirm "Yes", and "Yes" again, and quickly power the drive off and on, ONE time. You should get status (0x0), and you will see the flash properties.

Step fifteen: If Step 13 was done correctly you can continue, click "Write" on the same tab (MTK Flash 32).

Step sixteen: It will then give you the status "Writing target buffer to flash", once successful it will automatically do a verification test. And once it's verified you'll get the status message "Write verified OK !".
