There are five main ways to exploit your console. For software mods, there is the ENDGAME exploit, the game save exploit, and the hotswap method. For hardware mods, you can install a modchip, or manually flash the TSOP. Use the following points to help you decide on the path to take:
- The easiest and safest method is the ENDGAME exploit using the Xbox Softmodding Tool. It requires an Xbox to USB-Female adapter and a flash drive or Android device — or a memory card loaded with the save such as from a modded console.
- The game save exploit predates the ENDGAME exploit and requires one of six specific games, an Xbox to USB-Female adapter, and a compatible flash drive or Android device.
- The hotswap method only requires a PC with an IDE port, but can risk shocking your PC or Xbox components. It's also an outdated method, and using an exploit instead is recommended.
- Some modchips can be installed without soldering. Different modchips may be suited for different motherboard revisions.
- TSOP Flashing can be done with only soldering and a DVD-R, or with an exploit, or already installed softmod. It is impossible to TSOP flash a revision 1.6 motherboard.
- If the HDD is broken, and you had not previously exploited the console to get a copy of the EEPROM, you can use an EEPROM recovery method to recovery the HDD key and rebuild the hard drive. Alternatively, hard-modding the console can negate the need to use a locked hard drive in the first place.
