Did your 360 get banned in this wave of bans? HD install not working? Gamertag and saves keep corrupting? This is how to fix this (aka ‘uncrippling’).

To start with, you’ll need to know a few things. This is going to involve a small amount of soldering, and a little knowledge of Nandpro and Hex (and a lot of patience if you’ve got a 256/512mb Jasper). Also, and an important point: THIS WILL NOT UNBAN YOUR 360 – ALL THIS DOES IS TO ALLOW TRUSTED CONTENT ON YOUR CONSOLE. That out of the way, lets get on with the tut.

Part 1: Cable creation, and hooking it up:

You will need:

1. DB25 25-way male plug + wires – or the male end from a printer cable leave the wires attached, cut off the female end.
2. 5 X 100 ohm resistors.
3. 1 X Switching diode.
4. Soldering iron, flux and solder.
5. A PC running Windows (32bit XP worked for me), and with a Parallel Printer Port.
