How to Flash an Xbox 360 With iXtreme 1.6

Disassemble and Connect to PC

• 1

  Unplug the Xbox 360 from the power outlet.

• 2

  Stand the Xbox 360 on its side. Pull off the gray side panel with your hand.

• 3

  Turn over the console, and pull off the front panel with your hand.

• 4

  Stand the console back on its side. Insert the tip of a Phillips screwdriver into the five silver clamps on the front and bottom panels, to dislodge the gray side screens. Then pull off the gray side screens with your hands.

• 5

  Wedge the tip of a knife or flat-head screwdriver into the crevice between the top and bottom console covers, to separate them around the sides of the console. Then pull off the top cover from the console, to access the silver panel underneath.

• 6

  Remove all 10 torx screws from the silver panel with a size 10 torx screwdriver. Then turn the console over. Don't pull off the silver panel.

• 7

  Pull the "Eject" button and cover out from in front of the hard drive on the front of the console, but don't pull it off entirely. This will loosen the top cover.

• 8

  Pull off the top cover with your hands.

• 9

  Pull the hard drive up. Pull out the cable connecting it to the motherboard using your fingers. Then set the optical drive to the side.

• 10

  Plug the iXtreme Connectivity Kit cable into the port on the Xbox 360 hard drive -- the same port you removed the motherboard cable from.

• 11

  Set the hard drive back in your Xbox console. Make sure the drive cover is pushed back into place. Don't reassemble the rest of the pieces. Move the console next to the PC.

• 12

  Insert one end of a SATA cable into the iXtreme Connectivity Kit and the other into your PC. If you don't have access to a SATA connection on your PC, you will need a USB-to-SATA converter. Insert the other end of the SATA cable into the converter, and plug the USB end of the converter into the computer's USB port.
