GGNCPM NGVIDS
Last week we wanted to test the XBOX360 iXtreme 1.61 Flash Firmware so we took apart our XBOX with a Philips BenQ VAD6038 Optical Drive and Flashed it and it worked so we will share how we did it.
Since there are a lot of tutorials about it, we prefer to publish a very quick reference guide for the overall process.
Shortly:
1- Took apart XBOX360
2- Power on XBOX360 with its AC Adapter but connect the XBOX360 DVD to a compatible SATA adapter in your PC
3- Install some software and drivers on your Windows PC
4- Put your XBOX360 DVD in Vendor Mode
5- Read its old firmware and save it on your PC
6- Patch the new firwmare and write it on XBOX360 DVD
7- Test XBOX360 DVD with a backup WAVE 4 game
Requirements:
- Windows PC, we have used XPP
- JungleFlasher.pdf PDF Manual for JungleFlasher
- JungleFlasher.0.1.67.Beta.rar Software Tool to read and write Firmwares on XBOX DVD
- ix161-benq.rar iXtreme 1.61 Firmware for BenQ Drives
- SATA Controller compatible with XBOX Drives, recommended is any with Chipset ViaTech VT6421, we have used the InLine 66697A
- Patience
So you should start with opening it, be aware this will voip your warranty, so be carefull and if you don’t feel comfortable with what you’re doing, then stop it!

Creating Virtual Host pointing to an IP on GoDaddy
GGNCPM NGVIDS
Purpose: have a Virtual Host, vhost, subdomain, vanity host…pointing to a unique IP address, for example if you don’t have hosting service at GoDaddy.
There are a lot of documents explaining this but there have created a lot of confusion up here so I would like to clear things up.
If you want to accomplish what follows, read on.
Issue:
- GoDaddy as Domain Registrar, so you will use GoDaddy Domain Manager
- Hosting your sites somewhere, where the web server ip is 111.111.111.111
for example because you own a dedicated server or you have a fixed IP address
at home and you want to host your sites at your place
- Hosting subdomains, virtual hosts, vhosts etc on other IP addresses
for example:
http://www.mydomain.com > 101.101.101.1
http://dev.mydomain.com > 201.201.201.2
http://test.mydomain.com > 103.103.103.3
- Log yourself on GoDaddy Domain Manager and click on the domain you to work on
- Click on Total DNS Control
- Note that you have an A(Host) Record called “@” and pointing to a GoDaddy IP Address, then you have a CNAME Record called “@” and pointing to your virtual host “www”
- Click to edit the A(Host) “@” record and change the existing IP with the one you want for
http://www.mydomain.com, for example 101.101.101.1
- A dialog will appear to confirm the change has been recorded
- Click ADD NEW A RECORD button and type only “dev” for dev.mydomain.com, the enter the IP Address, for example 201.201.201.2 and confirm
- A dialog will appear to confir the change has been recorded
- Repeat this for each subdomain or virtual host you may want to add and then wait for 24-48 hours for the DNS to propagate
You may want to keep open a terminal window or a DOS Prompt window and
ping dev.mydomain.com
from time to time to see when you DNS has been updated. When it starts to reply, you can open your browser and point it to http://dev.mydomain.com and it will open the WebServer Default page on 201.201.201.2
Just create the new domain “dev.mydomain.com” on your server and the magic will happen
Enjoy
