The1Hero Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Hello everyone, Well i have a few projects i wanna get working on with the xbox 360, one, is a fast, reasonable fix for the rrod. I have about 5 systems here that all have the rrod, all xclamp fix's have been performed but the gpu's are messing it up which is one of the major causes of the rrod. So im working on a few lil ideas to get these systems alive again. My progress will be started sometime this week. I will be glad to help anyone who needs help i will also be glad to hear some input of some ideas. My other project im working on is a few upgradable hdds higher then the 120gb. I am going to be tring to get a 320 gb hdd into the xbox 360 and have it fully functional with the 320 gb. Once I make the hddss.bin file i will be glad to share it with you all. If anyone has any questions or comments please do. I will keep this form up to date as i progress into each area of the projects. I will be working with the dead rrod xbox's this week. Once we get the PERM fix that wont harm the systems or the motherboards then we all can really say **** YOU M$ :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 but the gpu's are messing it up which is one of the major causes of the rrod. err... if the GPU is messed up, you aren't going to fix it with some ambiguous workaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozgeek Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 If all your 360s are getting RROD then you only have yourself to blame. I have one from like 2 years ago and everything is stock and it works fine. If you look after your things then this wouldn't be happening and you wouldn't waste your life over fixing things like that. On stock, the 360 works great and to "modify the system" to make it "work" turns your 360 into just another computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSlob Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Mr. "ozgeek" I've had two 360s that were treated like gold that both had the RROD. One after about 3 months (I got it shortly after release), and the replacement they sent me, about 2 weeks after. Explain to me how I'm to blame for the shoddy design of the first generation xboxes.

I hope you realise you cannot just hexedit the hddss.bin file to make it "see" larger HDD's, the file is digitally signed and any changes will break that signature.

Kushan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Whereas I bought a HDMI 360 at about the same time (it was the first HDMI equipped 360 I could find in Liverpool and only one store had it), September 2007 and I've dropped it, knocked it over once or twice and even took it apart a few times (don't ask) and it's never RROD'd on me once.

The1Hero Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Progress Update, I ordered a few tools that wont be here till monday and tuesday next week, but i did try a lil stupid method for gpu resetting. to reset the gpu all i did was use a peice of aluminum foil and some electric tape. Taking the GPU Heat sink off is the best way to do this. Take the heat sink off, put aluminum foil over the heat sink and put electric tape around the edges so the heat stays inside the GPU area and does not escape. Place your syster fan ontop of the CPU so u dont over heat the system, Now with you heat sink back in place, EIther xclamp, or the nuts and bolts your choice. Turn your system on for 8 minutes, NO more then 8. Turn off the system and let it cool down all the way, this will replace the GPU solder to the board right. Next week, im going to be pulling a gpu and cpu out of a dead board i got here, Just to show everyone where the systems are going bad, then we will try and see if we can replace the chips back into the board with a PERM Fix. Please stay tune I will upload images next week for everyone to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoLiMiT06 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have performed a RROD fix on a 360 and resold it for $50 more than what I paid. I did some hardcore gaming for about 8 hours straight and the thing is flawless. If you do the RROD fixed right they will work with out issue, you just need to find a good guide and follow the instructions to the "T". Good luck man and I am curious to see what comes of this.
