Building My Ultimate Modded Xbox 360 - Halo 4 Edition with RGH, Dual-NAND, & LTU2 Unlocked Board!

I've done plenty of tutorials and one-off builds related to different Xbox 360 consoles here on the channel, but I've always had a specific build in mind that I've wanted to accomplish for myself as my "main" console to use. I always loved how the Halo 4 Xbox 360 Slim console looked, and a few years ago I finally ended up buying one for a respectable price! It was console only, not in the greatest shape, but it was good enough for my liking. As things usually go, the console got put to the side and wasn't worked on until recently. After working on a Halo 4 console for a friend of mine, I finally decided to pull my own out of my closet as I was struck with inspiration needed to work on it. This might not be the most impressive build out there, but it's my own personal build, and one that I've wanted for years!
This build is a Corona motherboard which comes in the Halo 4 edition of the Xbox 360 Slim. It has had the RGH modification applied to it, meaning it can now be unlocked to play unsigned code in the form of custom Dashboards, game mods, emulators, homebrew, and more! As I still wanted to go online cleanly, this console has also had the Viper V2 Dual-NAND board installed. This will allow the console to flip between a clean Retail NAND and a modified NAND, essentially squishing two consoles into one. Finally, I still wanted the ability to play any backup games from disc on either side, so I replaced the DVD drive's board with a LTU2 Unlocked PCB.

A little tip for cleaning the flux (if that’s ok) Using a ESD safe brush and “clean room wipes” along with isopropyl or flux cleaner Works really well, the wipes don’t leave any lint or fluff and absorb flux very well Soak a wipe in some cleaner then place it over the area you want to clean and then lightly brush the wipe like you are brushing whatever is under it The flux with soak up into the wipe

Nice man i also have a halo 4 console that was for spares or repair but i did a trinity board swap on it as the original corona board was dead but swaped over the sound chip so i still have all of the custom sounds for dvd drive eject and power. i did a rgh 1.2 mod also with the ace v3 on this console absolutely love it. nice to see another one keep up the good work man.

Looking forward to consuming this content! I have two of those halo4 360's beside me here, one's a bit cracked tho the other is minty like yours there.. For a while I was thinking I might make one my own.. But then I came across one of the red+black Gears of war 360's and I think the skull logo on top of it matching the old Skullator branding just leaves me no other choice. Hope you're keeping well bro!

@Hadzz95 9 месяцев назад

Nice work! Small thing but something ive learned over the years is you dont actually need to outro in jf at all. Just switching the power off will take it out of vendor mode too. Getting into vendor mode is all done in the devices ram, so when you cut power its left in the exact state it was in before. Its just a qol feature if you wanna use in the pc without manually cycling. Once is plenty btw 😜

The solder not flowing well at 47:40 is because of high thermal mass in the pcb, the solution is to simply heat the pad a little longer with the soldering iron.

@MenaAzer 9 месяцев назад

@ 52:32 you get an error in JungleFlasher that says Key Verification Failed Additional extracts not completed. This will result in your games not loading off burnt DVD's or retail discs without toggling the nofcrt flag in JRUNNER. The way you should be building your LTU2 FW is by connecting your original PCB, selecting the LTU2 firmware, then selecting your key.bin and C-R.bin. It'll then extract additional information off the original PCB before giving you your firmware bin file.

@MrMario2011 9 месяцев назад

Thankfully it's working successfully since discs have been working wonderfully in both stock and modded sides! Except for audio CDs, of course.

I would disagree. There's a lot more you can do with holder systems, and the upgrades are expanding even further with new developments. Something like the OG Xbox for example? Bringing it back online with Insignia, new custom BIOS development, and crazy stuff like 16 TB hard drive support with UDMA 5 is astounding, especially through an HDMI mod! Although if you need something newer, the Switch modding scene has matured wonderfully.

It'll connect with an ethernet cable, but where I need to locate it doesn't have any drops (older house). I "fixed" it by using an old wifi extender I had stored in some boxes that I bought from a flea market years ago. The wifi etender connects to the router and my X360 connects to the extender wirelessly. One of the modders actually has a vid that pointed me in the right direction, although he connects the X360 to the wifi extender via Cat5 and then that connects to the wifi router. Similar solution except I skipped the Cat5 cable. @@brandonhall7759
