I was cruzing around Xbox-scene.com today and I found something rather interesting in the dashboard/bios/kernal forums.

Apperently a person that goes by "Robinsod" was able to successfully downgrade the Kernal version of his Xbox 360 to 1888 by using a method known as a "Timing attack" It's not something everyone out there can do yet, but as more information gets released (it's an open source project

) and things get optimized and developed further it might open homebrew and linux for the Xbox360 on a much larger scale soon. Of course once your 360 is back to an (older) vulnerable kernel (4532,4548), you won't be able to go on LIVE anymore (it only accepts the latest kernel (5766 atm)) ... but a dual kernel system is a possibility (using a xD memory card even).

See for yourselves,

like apps such as linux or homebrew based internet browser but we will just have to see and wait right...

if you'd bothered to read the article, you'd see that it requires hardware and an Infectus mod. so it cannot be "released." they can only share the information about how it was done.

I wouldn't wanna void my warranty for homebrew on my 360. I need it, Im about to be on my third xbox

I did bother to read the article and the man that done it said hes trying to make it a much easier process to do.

Good luck reading/writing your 360's NAND chip without special hardware.

that is very good news for modders but bad for everyone else
