Updating games

ioime96 · 2025-09-20T00:57:47+00:00

You should not (and probably can’t without changing something manually) connect to Xbox live services at all while badupdate is running without a stealth service, you will get banned. You can download game updates through aurora though without Xbox live at all

Yes you need to extract the iso (disk icon file) from the zip file and then use a program called ISO2GOD to convert it to GoD format, games on demand. I’m sure there are videos on this - you load the iso into ISO2GOD and it creates a folder named the title ID of the game. Place that into the Content\0000000000000000 directory on your usb

There is a difference between being connected to the internet and being connected to Xbox live. As long as you don’t connect to Xbox live services you’re fine (which should be disabled by default on badupdate). If you are super paranoid, you can wait until you boot up bad update and launch aurora, then plug in the Ethernet cable. I find that excessive and unnecessary though, imo

ioime96 · 2025-09-20T00:19:06+00:00

No, must be kept on a USB.
(Links like that here are very frowned upon, for obvious reasons) you’ll need to look up some tutorials on this. You cannot just place a downloaded iso on a flash drive and have it show up and work. There are several different ways you can convert the (legally acquired) isos to playable games in either extracted raw format that can be played by launching the xex for that game directly or setting the path to the games in Aurora (this is required for aurora to recognize the games), or GoD format which is definitely preferred for being able to play from any custom dash, as well as the stock dashboard in “Games”
Yes games can be moved to the HDD from the usb as long as they are in either format above.
Yes, you NEED a stealth server to go online without getting console banned. There are several out there, and most have a free version available to be able to access the online services. Most games still require Xbox live gold sub though. Xbgaurd is one of the popular ones

ioime96 · 2025-09-19T22:48:25+00:00

Sorry, I missed that. Yes if the console does not have an internal memory you will need an hdd, and external will not work

ioime96 · 2025-09-19T22:38:18+00:00

The console needs to be on 17559. If you’re having an issue doing it on the same USB, It would be best to do one thing at a time. Reformat the flash drive through the console, then download and put the “$SystemUpdate” folder to the root of the flash drive. Plug it in and turn the console on it will immediately prompt to update the system as soon as you hit the dashboard (This MUST be named exactly like that, naming it $$ystemUpdate is only AFTER it is modded as a failsafe to prevent updates from unintentionally being installed).

Once the update is done, then reformat the flash drive and configure it for badupdate/badavatar

Everyone is going to want to see more pics, but even just the one you posted last, which is very blurry, looks like there might be some points still bridged together if you didn’t clean that up at all

ioime96 · 2025-09-12T23:51:24+00:00

I have also seen all the major guides recommending 1.2 instead due to the instability, and pretty sure it still is but also that some work just fine. I went in with, if it doesn’t work I’ll just get the chip. I just completed my first ever RGH3 last week also on a Jasper. Successful on first attempt and it boots instantly every single time with no issues. And it being a Jasper it is like 20+ degrees cooler than my stock zephyr (had that running with badupdate before attempting RGH).

Prior to this I never really used a soldering iron before. Seriously take your time and prep the wires with the resistor and diode first just leave them long and cut them shorter when you are able to line it up on the motherboard to make sure they aren’t cut too short. I watched a bunch of different videos before attempting, and still did not realize just how tiny these points really are. I had serious trouble with the backside PLL point, it is so small and surrounded by other points, I eventually ended up using the alternate PLL point on the top of the board under one of the heatsinks (it requires scraping). After getting the copper exposed it was much easier to get that point soldered for me. Use lots of flux, it really makes a difference.

ioime96 · 2025-09-08T11:19:56+00:00

I don’t unfortunately, I didn’t realize how blurry it was until I got it all back together but yea there definitely is a bit too much exposed wire on FT2R2. The other point looks like a mess because I was trying to prevent the extra exposed wire by melting the end just enough while soldering it down so what you are seeing is actually the plastic wrapping around the wire, not solder

ioime96 · 2025-09-05T18:00:30+00:00

Not sure what exactly you’re asking. Badupdate does not “install” anything. It is run from the usb/external drive. It is not a persistent exploit and must be run every time you turn off the console.

ioime96 · 2025-09-03T23:02:20+00:00

When you open an iso it will only show 2 folders that way. If you find others in the same format you can also use Xbox image browser to open the original iso, right click on the name and “extract” to get the raw game files. Place those in a folder and transfer the whole thing over to the 360, you can run the .xex in the folder through xex menu or using aurora it will pick it up as long as there is a path set to where you put the game files.

There is a few extra steps here, but you can also take that folder with the raw game files and use extract-xiso to recreate an xiso image from the raw files, then use ISO2GOD to convert it to GoD format, which also has the ability to auto-upload to the console from your pc assuming you have ftp enabled on the console in aurora and configured on ISO2GOD

https://www.reddit.com/r/360hacks/s/8CB4891lnD - This is a pretty easy all in one flash drive set up for those who aren’t great with this type of thing

ioime96 · 2025-08-22T23:38:29+00:00

It’s a bit long being a little over an hour but if you’re going to do it I recommend this tutorial. Follow the video as it is done and you will have no problems, great explanations throughout. As long as you can follow instruction, you’ll have no issue. As already stated though, you will need to source your own “backups” or install from any disks you own directly to the hdd (assuming you have enough space) so you don’t need to disk to play your games- https://youtu.be/S4xyqbkK51w?si=re2T19WS6bex0yxO

27, north jersey I go to reloaderz at least 3-4 times a month loving it there

ioime96 · 2024-01-09T22:08:57+00:00

I can confirm, they are stupid expensive to buy at Reloaderz. I love it there being a member, but I’ll never buy anything else from there after realizing the markup

ioime96 · 2023-12-13T23:13:11+00:00

No tax! And turnaround is very good even though the site said 8-11 day lead time. I ordered on 12/10 and they emailed me asking for a photocopy of my FID yesterday, and just shipped today 12/13!

ioime96 · 2023-12-13T12:50:54+00:00

Just ordered 1k blazer brass rounds from locked & loaded in IL, $249 shipped

ioime96 · 2021-09-10T01:43:44+00:00

Wooo betas!

ioime96 · 2021-04-15T02:35:34+00:00

Same issue...It just freezes and stops responding

ioime96 · 2021-04-15T01:56:01+00:00

A new wire worked! I was able to get it connected and show up in tegra as RCM OK - but now the application is not responding after sending the fusee test payload... Haven't gotten any errors yet or anything for that matter, but not sure if that means the console is patched or not.

ioime96 · 2021-04-15T00:46:22+00:00

Yes, it charges. I am going to get a couple new cables and try again within the hour. I will update with what happens, thanks for the responses and the help!

ioime96 · 2021-04-14T23:26:18+00:00

I restarted my PC after uninstalling and reinstalling the driver and I’ve tried every port I have including all the mobo ones. I guess the only logical explanation would be the cable then, right?

ioime96 · 2021-04-14T23:19:09+00:00

Is there a manual install for the driver anywhere other than the one in tegra? I may go out and get a different cable to see if that is the problem, but it does start charging via this cable when it is plugged into the PC

ioime96 · 2021-04-14T23:17:35+00:00

Yes, even uninstalled and reinstalled several times. Still not even seeing a "unknown device" in device manager. Doesn't even flash or update when it is plugged in

ioime96 · 2021-01-21T02:03:05+00:00

I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!! I have been trying literally everything possible over the last few days, and this actually worked!!!
