How to RGH3 a Xbox 360 Slim (Corona) - Chipless RGH 3.0 Tutorial!

Hardmodding methods for the Xbox 360 come back once again with one of the coolest implementations I've seen to date in the form of RGH 3.0 from 15432! While previous RGH methods required a glitch chip, different timing files, playing around with different wire routing methods, RGH3 eliminates a lot of that by completely omitting the need for a glitch chip! Why use a glitch chip when we can use the console to glitch itself?! Aside from the NAND wiring, the only other installation in the console is simplified down to two wires and a resistor. That's it!
This video will walk through the process of discussing RGH3, discussing prerequisites, and stepping through a full Xbox 360 S or Xbox 360 E disassembly to get RGH3 installed. The installation itself will cover preparing the required resistor, exposing an incredibly small point to solder to, wiring everything up to the console, and building ourselves a custom NAND for some homebrew goodness.

If you are getting “Header is Wrong” using the PicoFlasher and maybe other flashers… it’s because your wires from the flasher to the Xbox are to LONG. I made this mistake, my wires were around 20inches long and I was get this error. They are now around 6-9 inches long and it works perfectly fine now. Please pass this along, that the NAND wires need to be short…. Maybe at most 10 inches long. P.S. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.

Another thing to mention, the process does differ a bit from your guide if you're doing a 4GB Corona with the Picoflasher. You don't see the drive on the computer, just read the NAND in JRunner like the 16MB.

Went through a viciously troublesome period with a 0031 error on a Corona 360 E. Figured out that there was a bridge between the PLL point and the resistor next to it! The point is so incredibly small! But now that I resolved the bridge, I was able to perform the RGH 3!

[@the_mell0nator]

I normally don’t comment on videos but this has to be the best tutorial I’ve ever watched. 1st time try worked on soldering, even the point I had to scrape off on my V2. I honestly think the 4GB NAND points are easier to solder than the 16MB because they already have a decent amount of solder on them and accept new solder with ease. IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH JRUNNER NOT RECOGNIZING THE NAND AS “REMOVABLE TYPE” UNPLUG POWER TO THE CONSOLE! As simple as it sounds I was stuck for 30 minutes thinking I bricked my system because Jrunner would see the device, but not the allocated space or drive letter. When plugging the Xflasher into your PC, If your computer doesn’t assign it a drive letter and give the pop up to format the drive, you need to unplug power from the console and give it a few seconds and plug in the console, then the Xflasher. I had to repeat this twice after writing the ecc for my computer to recognize it again correctly. The only thing I missed the first time was writing the ecc. I forgot to check the RGH3 option and thought I bricked it when I couldn’t get a video signal. Just plugged Xflasher back in and wrote the correct ecc and I saw Xell this time! A RECENT UPDATE TO JRUNNER has changed the labels of the buttons from that shown in the video, but they are still in the same place and do the same thing. They just say “Write Xell” now instead of write ecc.

Ik this comment is a year old, but I'm working on a Corona right now and was wondering. Is your console with the 3.3k resistor is still working?

[@JamiePineappleWyatt]

For those stupid reverse faced clips on the end shrouds, you can use a hook to lift the tab from the back side so they pop off super easy. A hook can be made by grinding down the end of an old trash screwdriver and then shaping the tip with a bit of heat. Quench it then you've got a new pick tool. Have to say hooks are seriously underrated tools for console modding. I've got three coronas sitting next to me and theyve been collecting dust, you've inspired me to pull out the ol kit and throw some of my older aliexpress chips in.

[@osamaal-humaimidi1481]

Just a suggestion, sometimes even the 30AWG wires cant solder properly on the tiny pads, especially the PLL via, so the best way to do it is to take one of those stranded wires, cut a small piece of it and slice it open, then take about 3 to 5 strands and twist them until they become one very thin wire, make 4 of them. now solder each of those thin wires to the tips of both wires, make them short so that you dont have lots of exposed conducting wires, put a little solder on the tips of those thin wires then solder them on the pads. you will notice that its much easier to solder them on the pads and you wont risk yanking those pads out of place if you move the wires in the wrong direction, as the thin wires at the tip are very soft and will just break if you pull on it, keeping the pads intact. also dont go with a very high temperature on the soldering iron, start at 280C then slowly go up, those pads/vias are so delicate to the point the iron would basically burn them. i learned it the hard way after destroying the SMC_PLL point on my trinity, so I had to connect the points on both sides of the SMC_PLL with thin wire strands

Thank You MrMario, I was lost with the Seven Sins guide, it was so unclear about the resistor values and the fact that they just say if you have a corona v4 you need a post fix adapter (and not a single clue on how to install it nor a pic of it installed or anything) I usually avoid video guides but this one is well done, with the timestamps etc so you can skip the other configurations parts. I successfully glitched using a JR Programmer, it was way slower than your chip and the drivers installation gave me a headache ( and i had a very suspicious message when finishing the NAND write ) But it turned out fine. Next step i’m doing my switch OLED. Cheers

[@legoboy-ox2kx]

I also ran into a weird issue with JRunner, XeBuild kept saying there were problems with my NAND, but it just wasn't pulling the lockdown value properly, I knew it was 6, but it kept trying to put in 1 when I ran XeBuild, so I used the Donor creation tool to force it to use 6 instead and just used the extracted files from the NAND dump to create the "donor"

3rd console RGH3 of the day for me and I was about to just walk into the ocean with all of my clothes still on, until I remembered that my Corona was a V3 and I didn't bridge resistor 6 & 7.Wouldn't boot at all until I did and when I remembered about the bridging, I realized that the NAND was still write-protected. No probs after that, but next time mod first and THEN drink beer....great tutorial!

[@MrMario2011]

Cool to hear! However with RGH3, bridging resistors 6 and 7 doesn't matter since those are for i2c glitch chip methods such as S-RGH. Anything that relies on PLL like RGH 3.0 or RGH 1.2 doesn't use the pads those two resistors are connected to, you just need resistor 10 bridged, which I covered in the video.

[@dwayneellis2003]

@MrMario2011 I used a pico pi and for some reason, it just wouldn't boot until I did that. It would turn on automatically and not do anything and then turn itself off after about 30 seconds and wouldn't come on again until I removed the power. No telling, honestly, but it's working at least!

I can write the stock nand back to it, but when i write the Ecc/xell, it does not boot. it shows the green light, but no video or audio. I tried using the Ethernet method as well, to no avail. From my understanding, I gathered that it must be the pico flasher firmware, due to my problem matching several other commenters. I believe that the pico flasher needs some more develeopment with the corona 4gb nands. Is there anything I can do in the meantime? its impossible to get an xflasher, and I tried and failed to make a working sd tool out of a micro sd card adapter. Is it really just the pico flasher? thanks!

[@harryl9948]

I recently ordered the x360 flasher. It no longer comes with the wire you unplug when connecting to the crystal. What do I do?

[@Xorxfon]

Why is the resistor optional and what benefit does it have versus wiring directly across?

[@alnoiseplaysmc]

Hey! I’m just wondering about 1:11:25 Do you need to unsolder the pico from the Xbox before booting it? I’m just wondering since we need to connect it again later on. The xFlasher 360 has a port for the cable connected to the Xbox but the pico wires are all soldered on.

[@MrMario2011]

Recommended, but if it's just quick for XeLL you'll probably be fine.

[@alnoiseplaysmc]

@@MrMario2011 sweet! Thank you so much. This video has been beyond helpful 🙏

[@Roam865]

ive been working on a 16mb corona v2 all night trying to figure out why xflasher wont read the nand, any help or thoughts on this would be appreciated, good solder nothing ugly, new flasher and has been used on the last rgh i did so i know it works, but not sure why it wont read the nana using jrunner

[@ColeD-hm9jn]

When connecting the kynar wire to the resistor did you splice the kynar wire? It still looks solid. I’m beginning to do this process soon. Thanks!

[@MrMario2011]

All shown in the video.

God bless you and modded warfare for all the guides and information love you all, PS use kapton take to cover the trace area around the little point u gotta scratch at. itll cover the trace so nothing could be scraped!

Good idea!

[@andrewbailey6382]

Hi Mr Mario, the 1k ohm resistor you use on the Corona 16mb. Are the resistors 1/4 watt regards Andy

[@MrMario2011]

Wattage doesn't matter, just resistance.

Thank you for this video! I got my R2D2 360 modded with it. :D

[@MrMario2011]

Woo!

[@kurtstone1272]

For those of you looking to do this check which version you have. Good chance you’ll have to order a post adapter

[@MrMario2011]

Good news is that the adapter will work on all Trinity and Corona boards, regardless over whether or not you require it. Great for people who mess up the POST point under the board.

[@Goodgamer78]

You mentioned the resistor is optional on corona boards. Why does every other guide mention a resistor is REQUIRED? I'd like to not purchase another thing for this mod if I don't have to, can I just solder the wire directly? What's the difference with the resistor? Thanks.

[@MrMario2011]

I'm not speaking on other guides, only the ones I've made. I went according to the RGH3 documentation, which states a resistor on Corona boards is optional.

[@Goodgamer78]

@@MrMario2011 Gotcha. What's the benefit to having the resistor?

[@3bO0d]

please help 🙌 I'm using pico to write corona 4gb when I get to writing xell(ecc) it gives me the sound that it finished but in the shell it keeps saying writing so I tried to unplug it relying on the sound notification but nothing

[@EtienneCK]

Great tutorial as always! Although I'm having an issue and maybe you would be able to tell me a few things to check; I followed your instructions, then wasn't able to boot in xell after writing the ECC with the Pico Flasher. The nand reads were fine. I checked the solder points and everything seems fine, the multimeters shows continuity. I also tried with AND without the resistor... The console powers on, with a normal green indicator as well.... I really don't know what to check at this point...... thanks! btw, I have a Corona 4gb, no need for QSB according to your information in the video. Another detail, somehow, I haven't seen any pop up asking for a format when I plugged my pico falsher...

[@angelobuoro]

Hi, I got the the same outcome of yours. I dont know what to. Already tried to reflash the original NAND and nothing, the console seems dead. Have you got any solution?

[@EtienneCK]

@@angelobuoro i haven't found anything that works yet on this 4gb Corona; in the meantime i had success with 3 other type of motherboard....

[@angelobuoro]

@@EtienneCK Let me ask, in all those successful board , did you use always the picoflash? This is sad... mine was a V2 corona, no postfix adapter... Now Im going to use it to practice soldering 😐

[@EtienneCK]

@@angelobuoro I did use the Pico and it worked well. The thing you have to remember is to disconnect it completely from the board when you first start Xell. You plug it back when you are ready to flash the mod. It seems obvious but since the Pico doesn't come with 'plug n play' wires, it's easy to forget and leave it connected/soldered to the board. In order to make this step easier, I used Dupont connexions.

[@EtienneCK]

@@angelobuoro I think it's annoying to have different needed diodes or resistors for each type of MB though lol But it's better than having to buy a chip i suppose

[@FightCain]

It's gonna be my first time doing soldering but, do I need other colored wires? I just bought the exact same one as shown in the prereq part of the video, and thinking Ill use a sharpie to color code them when hooking up to the pico.

[@MrMario2011]

Color does not matter.

[@Sasquatters]

What are those solid soldering pins you're using at 59 seconds?

[@MrMario2011]

I upgraded my NAND wires myself, you can find the video on my channel showing how to upgrade NAND programmer wires.

[@kevingiordano3314]

Great tutorial! Does the version of the Xbox software has to be the latest or does it work on every version?

[@MrMario2011]

Should work on any version.

[@goochtobyn]

Hi Mario, Thanks so much for this tutorial. It has been super helpful! I am having one problem though which I don’t see mentioned in the comments. I have recovered the CPU key and written the glitch.ecc but when I try to start the console using the eject button I get nothing. When starting with the power button the console boots up to retail normally. Any suggestions?

[@goochtobyn]

Sorry disregard that! Found it will boot to Xell with the eject button after a few attempts or holding down the eject button.

[@Akatski1998]

Interesting point about R2C10 resistor & ignoring the other 2 when doing RGH3

[@MrMario2011]

Indeed! Threw me off as well, big shout out to Octal for explaining it.

[@BX56_YT]

My buddy and I are having some trouble soldering the PLL point. Most likely because the soldering iron we have sucks. We've decided to rebuild the Xbox and try again some other time.

[@MrMario2011]

Respect for recognizing that and stopping while you're ahead. It certainly isn't easy, but I hope you all get it sorted on this console or another console in the future!

[@user-vg6gb1py3m]

hi corona v6 with toshiba 4 gb can i use corona v4 sd tool? or i need to make the SD with 68 ohms and why you didnt show it in video do you have another video tutor of RGH 3 dorona v6 and toshiba nand?

[@PinguTM]

Any ideas...? RGH was working well but now i get graphic glitches and freezing up. Sometimes can be right away other times like 10 minutes later. No RROD, I have to pull power cable out and back in. Rinse and repeat. I tried re soldering connections but still same issues :(

[@MrMario2011]

Bad soldering, bad wire routing, or the console is dying. Best way to check the third route would be to restore the retail backup and see if the same problems persist.

Great video! Guys make sure you have the correct training and understanding I broke my beloved xbox but it was my fault! Then I bought a another xbox turns out I can't rgh3 it so moral of the story make sure ur actually capable and willing to spend money and time I will not give up though because the 13 year old me would be so surprised I'm even trying this!

Hi all, I knocked the r2c9 resistor off when trying to bridge my r2c10. do you think i could just bridge this with a wire? if not, what sort of resistance do you think i would need to solder in line? i have lost the original micro resistor as it was extremely small.

[@donaldtrumpjr]

i did some research, and it looks like based on xbox360hub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Xbox_360_Corona_Schematic.pdf It looks like it should be a 47 ohm +-5% tolerance resistor. do you guys agree with that assessment?

[@user4gent416]

Hello sir, such a nice tutorial I will be using to jailbreak my 360 but here is a important question: What do you mean by kernel version we choose on the J-Runner? Is it my Xbox 360's version? Is it important which version I use my Xbox 360 on? Because I did not update it for a long time and its old version.

[@MrMario2011]

Choose the latest version J-Runner has available.

[@user4gent416]

Thanks for the fast response. So it will be fine to have old firmware on my xbox 360 and this kernel version is something different then my xbox's kernel right?
