So i have a very thorough knowledge of computers and Microsoft products alike, however this is my first time cracking a phat case open. Upon stripping everything down i notice i have a Lite-on which i originally thought was a BenQ from the way the appearance of the disc drive tray itself. But found out from the face plate hole and the yellow wiring it was a Lite-on, well i don't have the hardware yet simply put because i am unsure if different drives require different hardware to JTAG or if they are ALL the same thing no matter the drive I'm still grey on that one. According to a recent tute i found i am only required to have

1 25 pin d-sub connector
1 330 ohm resistor
1 1n418 switching diode
1 Soldering iron
Solder
& a computer with LPT port.

If this is the case then i already have a 25 pin d-sub and a soldering gun, and i know for a fact i can very easily get my hands on the other two items. So if this is the case and i acquire these items am i safe to assume i will be well on my way to JTAG? I have looked over many many many JTAG tutes and from what i gather i seem to get a slightly different variation with all of them! That part right there confuses the heck out of me and i do not want to run the risk of screwing something up. I am really only looking to play modded games OFFLINE for example Black Ops 2 Zombies personally the game i play literally every single night. No clipping, god mode, max ammo, wall hacks the lot you get the idea. I am not concerned with online play at all as this console is not and will not ever go online nor have an ethernet cable plugged into it. I have thought about flashing but i cant run programs with that and as far as i understand is for online play and saving game backups so i really don't care to much about that.

So my question is really do i just need to acquire these materials and i am all set or is there far more to it like that of flashing what with the firmware and the drivers and teh probes and the special graphix cards and all that jaz? The variations and versions and reset hacks and r-jtags and jtags WHAT IS ALL THAT STUFF.

most likely you wont be able to jtag. the dash has to be like 7371 and below. if you have a dash after that up to 14699 then you can rgh 1 it. if you have a dash after 14699 then you can rgh 2 it or rjtag it. So question 1 is whats your dash? Martin C has a nice Roadmap for Noobies you should read.

Dashboard 2.0.16203.0 so if i can only rgh 2 it or rjtag then i will have to have a look at what the differences are between the two of them and hopefully come to a decision as to what is best for my needs. I am reading that thread right now.

R-jtag has much more stable boot times, Rgh2 works, but it isnt as easy to set up, and get decent boot times, especially if your console isnt a jasper.

I downloaded the tools from this link, ran jrunner it downloaded everything into the host folder it was sitting in. I set my dash into it, so from what i have been reading i assume this rjtag is going to be my best bet. I was hoping to find the r-jtag ultimate kit for phat but it looks like the kit itself has been disbanded or no carriers have it in stock at the moment. If i could get a kit i know i could wire it up my self given the VERY VERY detailed instructions and pics in JRun's \common\Pics.

Man you are GOOD, so as i am sitting here reading word for word on both pages and their descriptions i notice that the kit says it comes preloaded with v1.1 firmware. If memory serves me correctly i think i recall an article stating something to the effect of v.2 possibly firmware? Would this be the same firmware for that kit you provided or could i merely be mixing it up with something else? Like something RGH related maybe? I will be buying this as soon as i feel i am comfortable with the videos and the SICK descriptions and pics that JRUNNER has so wonderfully provided withing the programs \common\Pics folders.

There is no V2 firmware, V1.1 has improved zephyr support then V1, because when r-jtag was first released there was something different about some zephyrs, that TX didnt discover with the zephyr consoles they tested on, but some user had issues with.
