First things first, if you dont install the chip correctly you are ****ed, plain and simple.

Now most of you have heard of a person called Jester off of se7ensins, yes? He has an unbannable xbox because of this chip he has installed onto his motherboard. Well Ladies and Gentlemen, here it is:

Cygnos360 V2.0 is an add-on PCB that allows you to have more than one kernel version on your xbox 360. Simply install Cygnos360 V2.0 on your Xbox360 mainboard and connect it via USB to your PC. (Cygnos install diagram can be downloaded from using the link at the bottom of this page.)
Currently users can only have either a vulnerable kernel version (4532 or 454 OR the current kernel version that is neccessary to use xbox live and play the newest games. Cygnos360 enables you to conveniently switch between your "live kernel" and your "homebrew kernel".
You can also use Cygnos360 to switch between PAL and NTSC kernels. A new hack has been announced which will enable also HDMI consoles to run code! NOTE: Cygnos360 does not contain any kernel image! It is shipped empty! Cygnos360 does NOT enable "backups" it is NOT for the DVD drive.

This modification device is designed primarily for the purpose of installation and development of alternative operating systems eg. Linux, to aid or assist in the repair or replacement of defective hardware, the use of and development of home brew open source software or the playing of import software titles, which are often available at a lower cost or months before your country's release date .

Some features of the new Cygnos360 V2.0

* run homebrew kernels! NOW THE EXPLOIT ALSO WORKS ON HDMI CONSOLES!
* switch between the kernel on your Xbox360 and the kernel on Cygnos360 V2 (for example for region-code switching or switching to homebrew/exploitable kernel)
* no lifting of CE-pin or cutting of traces neccessary
* protect your data by storing offline information on the Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash and avoid banning (dirty-NAND concept)
* directly downgrade on the Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash - easy quicksolder installation of Cygnos360 V2 (only 2 wires neccessary)
* Cygnos360 V2 firmware can be up- und downgraded to any version in the field
* built from high quality components
* downgrading takes 1h15m on average on a middle-class PC
* reading from and writing to flash takes less than a minute each
* easy to use
* a reliable solution for downgrading (Xenon mainboards) - run Linux and homebrew
* read and flash your Xbox360 and Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash in less than one minute
* Infectus is no longer needed for any of the functions

In the Xbox 360, on-board NAND-flash memory stores important data like the hypervisor, kernel, and key vault.

Through installation of Cygnos 360, the onboard NAND-flash memory is complemented with another NAND-flash memory contained on the Cygnos 360 printed-circuit board.
Being able to choose between both NAND-flash memories opens up a variety of new fascinating possibilities. The following list tries
to give you an impression about what can be done with Cygnos 360:

* choose between the newest kernel for playing games or a vulnerable kernel for running Linux / homebrew
* play imported games or movies by switching your region code
