Grabbed this off of Xbox-Scene, so props go to FrostyTheSnowman over there for the great tutorial! This guide is for people that have a jtag'd system, because it won't work with retail system! So no jtag, no point! Anyway, as we all know the 360 is designed only to be used with a 2.5" laptop sized hard drive and as such only supports 5v, which means that we are unable to connect full sized 3.5" hard drives to the motherboard without some type of external power supply... This tutorial will show you how to solder a 12v/5v SATA power connector and standard SATA data cable straight to the motherboard and allow you to use any SATA hdd of your choice (2.5" and 3.5"). Step 1: Disassemble your 360 all the way down to the motherboard (not covered in this tutorial, search for it) Step 2: Solder your SATA data cable as shown below: (make sure you do not forget to wire the ground wires otherwise your SATA cable will be subject to interference and may not detect your HDD) Step 3: Run your SATA data cable along the bottom of your motherboard as shown below: Step 4: Put your motherboard back inside the metal cage, and let your SATA data cable feed out in front of the fans as shown below: Step 5: Solder your SATA power cable as shown below: That is the basis of the tutorial! The rest that Frosty gives is he drills a hole in the case and has the 3.5" on the outside of the box. So I mean if you want to, you can do that or take the DVD Drive out, and replace it with the Hard Drive! I'll be doing this when my 1TB ships, so once that's here I'll post pics of it internalized because I've got a jtag with dead DVD Drive, so will post pics when it's done! Again, thanks to FrostyTheSnowman over at Xbox-Scene for the great, easy-to-follow guide, and the pics! I take no credit to this, I'm just posting it here for others that haven't seen it! It was all Frosty that did it! You can catch the original thread here. Once again, thanks to Frosty!

Originally posted on Team-Xecuter.com: CoolRunner 3 Now In Production We are now pleased to announce that full production has started and PRE-ORDERS will be authorized this week. It's been just over 2 months since we cracked the Corona and perfected the boot performance along with the new RATER System so you can get the absolute best quality glitch for your money. The JR programmer v2 is also in production along with a brand new QSB for the Trinity and the Corona. As a special gift and in honor of our American friends as today is 4th July we will include a free RATER QSB System in the first 1000 CoolRunner 3's free of charge (Value $6.95) Free DIY Corona Upgrade For CoolRunners Speaking of special gifts….. We have decided to release some of our code that will glitch 16MB Corona's using a CoolRunner or any other standard XC2C64A based glitch board. It's still RGH2 based and is no where near as good and fast and reliable as the CoolRunner 3 / RGH3 – but for those that want to have a play until then, you can easily do a DIY upgrade by adding a 48.000MHz crystal. A NAND-X or JR programmer v1 can still be used to read/write the 16MB NAND. The pic shows a Rev A, we're just putting together the info for the Rev B and Rev C too and will get all of that code and parts info posted shortly. EDIT: DOWNLOAD HERE CPU RESET Cleaner Shipping This Week ! One of the main problems for RGH2 users (and some RGH1 too), is the quality of the CPU_RST line. Over the last couple of weeks we have seen some great results on our forums with various methods of combining different capacitors and resistors to give a really nice performance boost (some guys went from not glitching at all to 10 seconds !) We have designed this very nice addon board which with have simply called the COOLRUNNER CPU RESET CLEANER. You can easily select resistor Combos of 1K, 2K and 3.3K, and capacitor combos of 470pF, 560pF and 680pF – these are all of the values that gave the very best results. Can be used on all Xecuter CoolRunners and all other RGH Glitch Boards on both Phat and Slim version installs. On sale at all good Xecuter Stockists from next week only $4.95 JR Programmer v1 Speed Upgrade The new JR programmer v2 read/writes MUCH faster than the v1 so we have taken the speed tech we used and made a simple upgrade PCB for the v1 to give it the new v2 speeds (now almost as fast as the NAND-X !). The upgrade is being manufactured next week and will be available to buy from all good Xecuter Stockists for only $4.95 ……and finally Remember the cool addons for DemoN that we talked about. How about Bluetooth or WiFi ? Yes that is an iPhone running a Demon and Coolrunner – thanks to our good friend BioHazardOh you want Android too ? OK……

THE HACK IS MADE AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN HAVE A PLAY WITH THIS YOURSELF AND SEE WHAT RESULTS YOU CAN ACHIEVE. THIS IS WHY WE DESIGNED THE COOLRUNNER 3, IT HAS BEEN FINE TUNED USING A MUCH MORE ADVANCED DESIGN AND GLITCHES VERY RELIABLY AND VERY FAST. WE DO NOT OFFER ANY GUARANTEES OR SUPPORT WITH THE XC264A CORONA HACK. WARNING*********WARNING*********WARNING*********WA RNING********* To get this working on CoolRunner Rev A B or C you simply have to add a 48.000MHz crystal. If you have Rev A or Rev B remember to remove C15. It's a bit cheap and cheerful and the hack isn't that good with the limitations of the older gen XC264A hardware but here it is anyway. The crystal has to be good quality - not some cheap crappy one as it will not work. These work very well: http://ie.farnell.com/jsp/search/pro...sp?SKU=1640968 48.000MHz crystal wiring to the CoolRunner: PIN 1,4 to 3v3 PIN 2 to GND PIN 3 to B We have included 6 files with different timings tx_corona_0_2.xsvf tx_corona_0_3.xsvf tx_corona_1_2.xsvf tx_corona_1_3.xsvf tx_corona_2_2.xsvf tx_corona_2_3.xsvf The most important point is the CPU_RST - this will make the difference between a 30 second glitch and a 30 minute glitch. You may want to try using the CPU RESET CLEANER addon that we released - it works very well with RGH1 and RGH2. We also recommend you try the different wire layouts as per the original CoolRunner instructions. CoolRunner 3 is in production right now - you will get to see how Slim glitching should be done Thanks to GliGli & Tiros for the original RGH exploit. - Team Xecuter On a side note.... These are the crappy glitch times you should expect (measured with the CoolRunner 3 RATER) These are cycles - not seconds (1 cycle = 5 seconds). In our opinion it just isn't worth paying for - so we encourage you not to buy a CoolRunner REV C or any other XC642A based glitcher just to do Corona - you will probably be dissapointed. 11, 51, 14, 5, 5, 26, 19, 1, 1, 13, 18, 3, 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 5, 5, 9, 3, 2, 7, 22, 14, 4, 6, 5, 1, 2, 16, 2, 5, 17, 8, 10, 8, 8, 9, 4, 13, 2, 9, 4, 19, 2, 8, 2, 10, 11, 1, 14, 1, 2, 10, 4, 3, 3, 3, 1, 3, 20, 4, 4, 6, 15, 7, 3, 18, 3, 6, 6, 1, 2, 3, 11, 2, 37, 3, 13, 1, 10, 9, 4, 10, 6, 3, 14, 2, 4, 4, 4, 6, 4, 2, 1, 6, 1, 9, 3, 4, 2, 8, 2, 5, 15, 3, 3, 1, 2, 6, 7, 6, 21, 15, 27, 11, 9, 4, 10, 2, 5, 11, 3, 6, 14, 26, 8, 2, 5, 4, 3, 11, 3, 15, 4, 10, 13, 14, 22, 22, 9, 6, 22, 19, 1, 5, 10, 5, 1, 7, 2, 16, 9, 1, 11, 2, 7, 24, 3, 8, 12, 8, 7, 12, 13, 4, 7, 3, 1, 17, 9, 2, 5, 3, 2, 5, 1, 16, 4, 9, 9, 3, 1, 1, 15, 18, 3, 7, 3, 49, 18, 9, 6, 4, 1, 2, 11, 1, 3, 1, 5, 14, 12, 16, 11, 1, 8, 11, 1, 47, 8, 1, 19, 2, 18, 9, 6, 7, 15, 12, 13, 6, 16, 5, 3, 11, 3, 12, 2, 5, 2, 11, 4, 1, 18, 8, 13, 8, 10, 8, 1, 1, 13, 10, 5, 38, 10, 20, 3, 8, 4, 7, 4, 17, 3, 6, 1, 8, 13, 2, 3, 2, 10, 1, 1, 30, 17, 7, 14, 24, 10, 1, 16, 11, 16, 5, 6, 6, 11, 6, 1, 15, 1, 3, 5, 25, 10, 7, 5, 13, 12, 6, 8, 5, 7, 1, 46, 2, 17, 14, 2, 2, 6, 3, 3, 2, 5, 23, 3, 1, 8, 23, 15, 5, 1, 3, 3, 3, 1, 2, 5, 10, 9, 9, 20, 7, 22, 1, Xecuter_DIY_Corona16_Coolrunner_Upgrade.zip
