Your right, it's not terribly descriptive on exactly what it does. It's really an experts and old timers read.

The answer is no, you still have to open up your xbox. It does however apparently allow you to connect directly to a USB port instead of a sata port. It will also extract the key, so no more sodering I assume?

The very first paragraph in post 1 tells you what it does.
If either of you bothered to read the rest of the website you'd see other threads all talking about what it is and what it does.
It's a work in progress and as it progresses, its likely to change. So pointless to hive you indepth information at present as it may well change.
Do your own research.

Yes you have to open the xbox up to access the dvd drive and use this product.

USB ports makes me happy. Going to order this and pick up a Slim when this becomes available.

Though, a question, whenever I am to purchase, what's the best place to order from in the USA? I have a real hatred for Modchip central for sending me a faulty Wii chip, so would like to know the best next thing.

Re: X360USB PRO - 360 Slim Drives Update + New Prototype Image

Hi all,
This is my first post, so I decided to go easy so I won't get slammed (just yet)... :)

I've been reading somethings about X360 USB Pro and I already wrote a letter to Santa Claus asking for him to bring me this magnificent piece of hardware as soon as it's available for purchase. ;)

I'm n00b (really no one could tell) and I want to flash my X360 Elite in order to play the latest AP2.5 games, but my console is pre-flashed and obviously the person who owned it previously didn't save the dummy.bin, so no key for me.

I already read the JF tutorial top-to-bottom and over there they say that I need to use the MRA Method to retrieve my DVD key and I'm not that comfortable with that - I really don't want to start cutting off my X360!!

So some questions:

  1. Can I expect that X360 Pro retrieves my key, so I can flash the drive?
  2. Will it be needed to use a probe to retrieve the key and then use the USB Pro to flash?
  3. I also thought of buying a Blaster so that I won't need to open my console every time a new firmware comes out, is there a chance they'll work together?
Last and not least:
Thanks and congratulations for all your effort in developing such good tools that make our life much easier.

Best regards,
[_Tech_]

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention my DVD Drive is a Liteon Model: DG-16D2C-09C and original FW Version is: 83850C, iXtreeme 1.61.

Re: Xecuter X360USB PRO Update

ok sorry for asking but since I m about to buy a new 360 250 kinect bundle with the option to later on buying the x360usb pro, I went in the store of a shop that flashes and sells 360, and asked them if they knew which drive they have in on the pieces they sell, asking them if the knew if they had any of the new hitachi. The guy over there told me that although the 360 slims will be able to be flashed, the ones with the kinect bundle won't ever be able to be flashed. So in order not to buy the 360 kinect bundle, and x360usb pro, and just have it to look at it, can someone confirm or not confirm? I know it s probably crap, and the guy told me so in order to buy something else, cause I dont think x360s with kinect bundle have different drives from x360 s, or makes a difference if it has kinect. can someone confirm

also this has nothing to do with the x360 usb pro so u might get a 24hr ban.

Re: Xecuter X360USB PRO Update

no the slims arent flashable yet. all they cando right now is dump the 9405 dvd drive amd replace and sppof it.

also this has nothing to do with the x360 usb pro so u might get a 24hr ban.

I believe you didnt understand my question but thats ok

According to Ubergeek the 0225 and 9504 will be able to be flashed someday with x360usb pro, and I quote from http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52147 , parto of Xcuters signature

"Xbox 360 Slim
Lite-On DG-16D4S 9504** (Requires CK3 Pro & X360USB PRO) (HAS AP25 TECHNOLOGY)
Lite-On DG-16D4S 0225** (Requires CK3 Pro & X360USB PRO) (HAS AP25 TECHNOLOGY)"


hasn't said anything if it matters if its a kinnect bundle or a regular slim. However the guy from the store I went to buy a 360 kinect bundle, said it does matter.

Re: Xecuter X360USB PRO Update

the guy who said theyll never be able to be flashed is chatting sh*t, at present the x360usb will be able to be used for the liteons and im assuming the hitachis will be doable with this aswell.

thats all i can comment on cause this is a x360usb thread and any other discussion is thread hijacking and secondly i honestly dont know about the hitachi cause im not xecuter.
