Xbox 360 Modding

So I had a friend that asked me to help him mod his xbox 360. From what I remember it was a pain when I first did it back in 2006. As there wasn’t that many guides out on how to do it and was real manual process. As I did some research on getting the latest firmware I came across probably the best 360 modding resource I have seen to date. http://www.ixtreme.net/ is home to modding forums for the 360. There is tutorials for every kind of 360 drive, fixing 3rod, best dual layer dvds, and several other tools to help you complete the task. Using the site and JungleFlasher, I had my friends 360 modded in under 5 Mins (Does not include opening the damn sucker – see youtube for videos on how to open). I did run into a few hicups but fairly easy using the Jungleflasher tutorial guide. Great job done by the JungleFlasher team. Remember modding your 360 will void your warranty and it is illegal to download backups! I am not responsible if you use this information for wrongful purposes. Also there are chances you will be banned from Xbox Live and/or bricking your 360. Use are your own risk. Modding the 360 isn’t as exciting as the original xbox which can be turned into a full fledged media center. That is my next project.
