If an onboard storage appears then you have a 4gb Corona and should use our 4gb Corona Guide and if you don't show an onboard storage then you have a 16mb Corona nand and should use our 16mb Corona Guide. This is easily determined by simply powering up the console, visiting the storage menu, and looking for a ~4gb onboard storage unit. If you have a Corona console, you'll still need to determine if you have a 4gb Nand or a 16mb Nand. As of today in 2018 there is still no method to do any hardware modificaitons to the Winchester console. The bad news here is if you have a Winchester, you're just out of luck. Here is an example of a Winchester XCGPU: In the Corona consoles they stil have an IHS (integrated heat sink) an on the Winchester motherboards they do not. The only way to know for absolutely 100% certain is to open up the console and remove the heatsink and take a look at the XCGPU. Consoles with a MFR date of 07-2014 and AFTER are likely to be the non-modable Winchester motherboard.Consoles with a MFR date of 06-2014 and BEFORE are likely to be Corona.Winchester (as of 2018 no current method exists to mod this console) :-(Īs with the Slim S series console the MFR date can be a good indicator, but it is not 100% reliable.Corona (just like in the Slim S series all are mod-able).The Slim E series console has two motherboard possibilities, and it is important to determine which one is in the console you want to modify: If for some reason you're unsure about checking the storage menu on the console, or want to be really-extra-double-sure that you have either a 4gb or a 16mb Corona you can visually identify them by inspecting the nand chip on the console: In a Corona motherboard one header is vertical and the other is rotated 90 degress to be horizontal like this: You can now go follow the guide for Trinity consoles. All Trinities, even the ones that have the 4gb add-on, have a 16mb nand and are modded in the same way. If you have a Trinity console, there is no need to check anything further. In a Trinity motherboard the headers are vertical and paralell to each other like this: The quickest check to tell a Trinity from a Corona is to examine the J2C1 and J2C3 headers (JTAG header). To be 100% certain you'll need to open up the console and inspect the motherboard. The dates mentioned above are about 90% accurate as far as determining your motherboard version but I have seen some consoles that were Trinities with a much later MFR date, and I've seen a few Coronas in consoles with earlier MFR dates. You do need to determine your specific motherboard type so that you can get the correct supplies. Corona (Most consoles with a MFR date of 8-2011 and AFTER)īoth Trinity and Corona motherboard consoles are all 100% RGH'able.Trinity (Most consoles with a MFR date of 07-2011 and BEFORE).The nice thing about the Slim series is that there are only 2 possible motherboards within them: Once you've confirmed you've got a Falcon or Jasper console you can visit our RGH Falcon or Jasper Guide for detailed instructions on how to mod your console. So, essentially what you want to see is the precense of a HDMI port, plus either of the two power sockets to the right side of the image above which would mean that you have a Falcon or Jasper console, which are essentially the only Phats worth modding. Now that you know if your console has HDMI, we can look at the power socket on the console and compare to this image: Here is an image of a Xbox 360 Phat that does have an HDMI port and it's labeled: It's trivial to inspect the back of the Phat Xbox 360 to see if it has an HDMI port or not. What is the power usage of the console? (Determined by examining the power socket on the back of the console). In order to determine the motherboard type of any phat console, there are just two items to check: The nice thing about identifying motherboard types on a Phat Xbox 360 is that we can 100% do it externally, without the need to open up the case at all.
