Here are the details:
The french developer and hacker, GliGli, is proud to release via XboxHacker forums, what most of us are waiting for since more than one year : a new exploit for the Xbox 360. This new Hack is called "Reset Glitch Hack" and needs the installation of a chip. The Reset Glitch Hack is compatible with most 360 models: all the Xbox Slims models and for FAT, Zephyr and Jasper are working for now (Falcon will be released when the devs will have one at hand).
To explain it (very) simply, the chip sends little pulses to the processor in order to distabilize the console and make it believe a modified CB is correctly hashed and signed. This operation doesn't succeed every time, but it is repeated till it works. Once the modified/hacked CB is validated by the console, it has enough rights to launch unsigned code and in our case, XeLL, the Xenon Linux Loader. For full details, read GliGli's explanation of his hack, you can also have a look at the source code of Hack available HERE.
Advantages of this Hack :
- All the 360 expect the Xenons will be compatible.
- It's unpatchable, in fact the CB is involved so early in the console boot process that it can't be revoked
Drawbacks:
- A chip is needed.
- The boot time varies and it can take up to a few minutes to run unsigned code.
