How to Replace Your Xbox 360 RGH/JTAG Hard Drive - Phat & Slim HDD Upgrade Guide

  • This covers the process of replacing a hard drive for a hardmodded Xbox 360 console, both Phat/Fat and Slim models! The Slim S and Slim E models are both covered since the process is the Slim replacement process is the same for both models. This works for 2.5" hard drives and solid state drives up to 2 TB in size, while thankfully not requiring too many tools! Aside from an existing casing, the Phat/Fat enclosure requires T6 and T10 screwdriver bits to perform this process. The Slim enclosure will require something such as an X-Acto Knife and a pry tool to open the enclosure, although for a Slim console I would recommend purchasing a new enclosure.

    A fun bit of knowledge if you have a USB barcode scanner you can actually plug it into the Xbox and scan the serial number and it'll show up immediately you can also use a iopener from ifixit to properly loosen the glue around the sides it's incredibly useful tool which I use to take off mega drive labels when I replace the batteries and a lot of other good stuff

    With the FATXplorer you can use up to 16TB.
    You need the programm FATXplorer + J-runner with extras.
    With the FATXplorer you create a patch for J-runner.
    You write the new NAND to your console.

    Btw those third party cases (and the official one) are designed for 9.5mm thick drives, while most current laptop drives are 7mm. As a result the port sits lower in the case and can be a pain to plug into the console.
    What I do is use an xacto knife to cut down the posts in the case. Then use hard drive screws in the bottom of the drive to lift the drive to the point where the SATA ports are in the correct position.
    However, the bottom of the drive will no longer be pressing out the clip so it isn't as secure in the console.
    To get the drive to press the clip, I fold up a sheet of paper or napkin then wrap it in tape. Then tape that to the bottom of the drive. That acts as a spacer between the drive and clip so it gets pushed out.
    Since the third party cases aren't the best the case may not fully close. So I remove a few of the clasps from the lid since they're not all really necessary.
    I use Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB external hard drives. They're 59.99 at Walmart and can be easily shucked to give you a very compact SATA to USB 3.0 PCB for other projects.

    I was just given a v2 Jasper 360 (Sep. 2009) and sent it for a RGH service locally. Good to know who I'm going to watch videos from to find out what do you eat RGH with 😂
    All I've ever dealt with on both SW and HW level modding are PS3 (Rebug), Wii (softmod, love the funky way I had to get both softmodded), OG Xbox (softmod, TSOP and in two instances, Xecuter 2 and X-Changer modchips) PS2 (FMCB, Modbo 4 and 760 mostly) and PS1 (Onechip and the good ole 4wire).
    Would love to find out all the stuff RGH3 can do.
    By the way, ending with a question - is it true Jaspers (at least the v2 ones made near the end of 2009) have high rate of success in RGH3-ing?
    I'm having a thought that most of them might work due to being nearly very similar in hardware revision as to the first generation of slims - as in, they're what the XCGPU might have been based off?

    • @MrMario2011
      @MrMario2011  Před 11 měsíci

      I don't know of success rates for RGH3 across different Phat models, but I've recommended RGH3 for Slim consoles and RGH 1.2 for Phats due to the instability RGH3 for Phats has. Be sure your installer is going with RGH 1.2 for your console.

I know that sata 3 is backward compatible with sata 2 but I'm thinking of puting an ssd in my slim model. If it's also sata 2 it would be pretty useless as the speed transfer would be limited.

    Hi a question regarding HDD, so i have a 500gb HDD that came with my RGH slim that I suspect has a bad file or something that easily freezes the Xbox whilst modding but I cant determine what it could be so just as a test I'd like to put my 2010 250gb retail slim HDD into it to see if it stops. Would I be able to just slot it in & mod a couple of games without any formatting & I can go about installing xexmenu/dashlaunch as normal bro? (I don't intend on making this my all-time HDD or play any XB original games!)

    • @kfcmiwi
      @kfcmiwi Před 5 dny

      You need to backup your data, not a 1:1 clone - just the data. If you have rgh and aurora you could do it via ftp or usb/external hdd, else you need to connect the hdd to you pc and use a programm for this purpose.
      If you suspect a mechanical issue with the drive itself you can now test the drive fully with you pc (format it and use, for example, a tool called disktest. It writes 1gb files until the drive is full and then tries to read them). If there are no problems in your tests I had a similiar problem. It showed itself in 2 ways; Copying files to/from usb from/to my hdd, via aurora, would sometimes cause it to freeze and a specific game would crash (sometimes after 5 or even after 25min) when I copied it to my hdd and played it from there, but it would run for hours without any problems from dvd. Seemingly in some cases the xbox is left with a faulty state in it's filesystem (for example it crashed while a savegame was written etc.).
      In that case you need to reformat your drive inside your xbox and then copy your files back to it -> this should solve your problem.
      If the hdd itself has indeed some kind of real damage, you need a new one. Just put it the new one in the xbox and format it, and then copy your backup to it.

    It seems my Xbox 360Slim's hard drive got damaged that I can't even turn on the Xbox with the hd inside because it throws an error. I want to change the hard drive for another one. Can I use any hard drive I can buy on internet or should I search something specifically for Xbox 360 S?

    Quick Question: Can I just clone my original XBOX 360 HDD onto a SSD or will it cause problems? Also some older posts/forums say, that the XBOX360 has problem reading SSD's and that the speed does not increase which made me wonder since an SSD upgrade on most of my consoles (PS3, PS4) made a huge difference.

    • @MrMario2011
      @MrMario2011  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Cloning thankfully works from what I've seen. SSD in the console is fine, but you won't ever take full advantage of the full speed due to the limited SATA speed the console has.

      The problem is, aurora stores its paths with the device ID of the hard drive in its path, so when you clone it all of your title updates, covers and custom coves, and custom renames are all gone because the new hard drive has a different device ID.

  • @kfcmiwi
    @kfcmiwi Před 5 dny

    !!! I actually have to correct myself, it's very wasted !!!
    A highend ssd is a little wasted on a 360,
    1. !!! Correction !!! Seemingly the xbox 360 does only have Sata I effectively and that is 150mb/s. So the only advantage an ssd can bring over a modern hdd is faster access times, especially when data is requested when the hdd is in a resting state - since it needs to start spinning before it can return data. So an hdd will have a certain delay, wich could show itself in slow/blocking behaviour when multiple files are requested concurrently.
    2. An Xbox Game/DVD is max. ~8GB, wich would take an hdd about 1 min to load... but the RAM is 512mb. A good 2.5 HDD can deliever the maximum 150mb/s, wich will mean any loading screen should not take longer than 3-4 seconds, let's say 10 seconds... on hhd or ssd alike XD
    3. I would say rather take a 2 TB HDD instead of a 1TB SSD, and even if money doesn't matter rather take the cheapest 2TB ssd instead of a highend model.

    • @MrMario2011
      @MrMario2011  Před 5 dny

      High-end SSDs for sure would be wasted, thankfully they still make a difference! In my main console I currently have a 1 TB SSD that I only paid $20 for, so I have no issue with it being wasted in a Xbox 360.
      However I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the nice benefits! With about 400 games currently on it the biggest differences I have noticed have been the index at the beginning of Aurora loading extremely quickly, as well as loading into any game from Aurora.
      Scrolling through all of the games in Aurora is also an absolute breeze, and I did not fully appreciate that until I went back to an HDD system. Aurora running on HDD with hundreds of games will really start to hiccup when you scroll.

    • @kfcmiwi
      @kfcmiwi Před 5 dny

      ​​@@MrMario2011that's quite possible, but since it's actually Sata I... it makes no sense/ the higher cost is not justified by the minimal advantages. If you get it basically for free or don't need to watch the money or have an ssd laying around for sure... else rather get a hdd.
