Some NXE Advice.

Apparently, NXE uses 3D rendering a lots, so these cooling down phases will vanish. From a pure statistics point of view, prepare to 'feel' a rise in RROD's events.
It seems people with 1st day launch consoles will go beyond the 3 years warranty the day NXE will pop up.
So prepare yourself to get a RROD, sell broken 360 on ebay (a few talented people seek them and manage to revive them for little profit) and purchase a new one. I guess all 360 games lovers finally accepted the 360 fatalities, so it's not big deal. Just an increase of RROD event probability.

2)If your 360 is modded...
It's the perfect time to water cool your 360, before installing NXE.
I've done it and it's over-efficient (just doubles the cost of console)
You can expect temperature to stay below 55 degrees Celcius (even playing Dead Rising in summer). Trust me, it's a dream. Well worth the effort. Combined with x5 drive firmware, it's wonderful silence!

3)If your 360 is modded and you removed R6T3 resistor...
When NXE is installed, your 360 will be bricked (detects efuse not blown up).
Before installing NXE, do this :
- solder back resistor (or any 10K resistor)
- reflash 1888 (each time you change kernel, dump it, reflash it, store it safely)
- upgrade to vulnerable kernel 4532 (each time you upgrade, 1 efuse goes)
- upgrade to a few kernels above that (using original games, not backups)
- now you are ready to install NXE with LDV>0 (number of efuses blown up)
- NXE will be happy to blow up one more efuse, and things will be ok.

To flash back to older firmwares (never connect to live with older firmwares because X: changes, and anyway you should never connect to live with a modded console...) edit your current dump with robinsod's flashdumptool to see what is your current LDV value, then edit the older dump to write the same value so it will be accepted by your console.

Caution about NXE however. It seems this firmware will extend to hard disk or memory card. It would be wiser to keep HDD or memory card together with your NXE firmware dump. If you reflash older firmware and do a change in HDD or memory card then, when you reflash NXE firmware back, NXE could detect that change and find it offending then... who knows what could happen...


Still... Have fun with NXE...

Gotta love Micro$oft.
Thats, why I laugh when people say your ripping Micro$oft off when I lied to them for my Transfer cable.

So if my 360's DVD Firmware is flashed would it be safe to download NXE?

Yes, you are safe with 1.4.1 ixtreme as long as you play good stealth rips.

[crank dat curry]

Its 1.4 and 1.41 is for BENQ!
