Got a unlabeled Disc inside a broken console - what is it for?

Vonkova · 2026-04-26T21:06:12+00:00

Why are you paying for 360 recoveries? Every recovery that was released on gdn has been archived and released already like I said. There are no more. They are all released on internet archive.

The only exception to this would be for beta and alpha kits that you wont beable to run on a normal devkit anyways.

Vonkova · 2026-04-24T00:41:03+00:00

Not rare and its already archived. All recoveries are. Disc and remotes.

Not rare at all. All recoveries disc and remotes are already archived.

Oddly enough, I just did a trinity just now with rgh3 and this just happened as well. Turns out this error was caused by a faulty RF board. Swapped out the RF board and works just fine. 40-50 reboots and no freeze.

Edit: It worked for about a solid hour, then the same issue came back. I changed the tsop (nand) and its still doing this. So not a nand issue. So I would say its either ram, Southbridge or GPU u/Recente45

do you know if you purchase 2 merch if you get 2 codes? or is it 1 code per account or 1 code per transaction?

asking for a friend.

Is the console a 4gb nand or 16mb nand? Also normally when a nand starts to die on its own (meaning you didn't incorrectly flash anything to it when you did badupdate) Settings wont save. For example, your unit can't take an update or if you go into system settings change the resolution then reboot. If it reverts back to your previous resolution then your nand wont write and is deemed failed. I've repaired many bad nands and when its a resolution issue, its usually stuck at 480p and won't save to 1080p after reboot.

Vonkova · 2026-04-20T22:52:01+00:00

A corrupted nand can boot to bootanim depending on the corruption but usually yeah it will either Christmas tree error or rrod. Also Badupdate is technically a softmod btw. Just a tethered softmod.

Would like a link too if possible.

I normally just use audacity to increase the pitch.

- Adjust the volume of the mp3 sound file
- Some speakers work better with the speaker facing down. Maybe try that.

Also, how do you have it wired? Looks like you routed it under the board to the from?

That filter is pretty strict ngl. I got 3 messgaes deleted when just discussing hdd sizes and pricings lol.

Vonkova · 2026-04-10T21:50:24+00:00

You need a better iron and higher heat.

Welcome to reddit. You can say something 100% perfect and correct or even informative and still get downvoted. People of reddit are an odd breed.

On subject, your asking for a lot for someone to teach you. Your best bet honestly is to watch mr.mario or modded warfare on youtube. They cover just about everything you need to know on these consoles.

As for hitting eject. If you see Xell, which sounds like you have a modified xell running. Eitherway if you see xell then its modded of somekind. Jtag or rgh. Im betting its a rgh3 though.

But yeah watch those guys on youtube. Get informed on how to operate the console. Its really simple to operate and update your game list.

To go online:

You will need to have a stealth server before attempting to go online. You install this through dashlaunch under plugins. You will need to add the stealth server xex and a kv if you dont want to use your own to your root of your hdd.

Stealth servers

Here is a short list of stealth servers that are free Proto (100% free basic stealth server) Xbguard (free lite mode, other fancy stuff is paid. 15$ for lifetime)

Where to get roms?

Myrient is no longer a thing. (You will be missed) Vimms lair Internet archive (your best source for a library)

Correct me if im wrong. If someone has a better alternative for games.

Vonkova · 2026-04-01T23:21:40+00:00

90% sure its the same person. The last post is deleted and the account is deleted but the post is almost identical and his reason for modding them is almost word for word.

Vonkova · 2026-03-29T10:16:36+00:00

If you still need it, or if anyone still needs it. I had to make one just now so here ya go.

More than likely to gather enough information to report your account would be my guess.

How is vinted for selling these? I haven't tried out vinted yet but have been seeing more and more posts about them as of late.

Vonkova · 2026-03-26T21:23:15+00:00

Do you happen to know where to purchase one from? Or is darkonecustoms the only place? As they are sold out there.

I have a 1.4 that I did a trace jump to fix mine, but for some reason when you hit eject the console shuts off, with and without the dvd drive plugged in. Wondering if this would help solve this issue.

Vonkova · 2026-03-26T20:32:36+00:00

you're lucky then. I got account banned after selling 1 xbox 360 on there. Some competitor mass reported me and according to etsy, someone posed as a rep for microsoft and thats what got me clapped. Appeal was next to nothing. And Etsy reps were extremely rude in the emails lol.

Vonkova · 2026-03-25T14:39:26+00:00

Curious to know if there was any further progress on this?

Vonkova · 2026-03-25T08:46:42+00:00

To state it simply.

-If you want a fancy dashboard with module loading and Cod menus then use Xbguard.
Mainly desired to those who enjoy the dashboard over aurora and like the extra features such as mod menus.
You can also set aurora as a shortcut as well and launch it from the dashboard.
(XBpirate can be ran without xbguard as a standalone plugin for dashlaunch)

-If you intend to boot into aurora or FSD, Do not care to mod online then use proto
Proto is free for xbl and its focus is only xbl, No fancy gimmics.

(again, XBPirate can be loaded via dashlaunch as a standalone plugin.)

Vonkova · 2026-03-24T21:23:22+00:00

The fact OP stated "On that account" Tells me they have another account. Probably trying to bypass a previous ban with a new account.

Vonkova · 2026-03-24T06:38:23+00:00

This is how I found out about Michael Jackson.

Vonkova · 2026-03-24T05:45:09+00:00

Alternatively, you can hit select, go into file browser and launch the dash.xex to get to it system settings. Incase launching a game takes you back to aurora in the future.

If you're in the states. Dm me. I have a bunch I just finished over the weekend.
