The Xbox 360 is not a good place to learn to solder. It’s recommended to read ahead and choose the NAND reading method and glitch chip specific wiring method that’s right for you, as you will need a NAND programmer and potentially more equipment depending on which methods you choose.

The glitch chip asserts a remapped GPIO pin to tell the southbridge when to send slowdown/speedup.

RGH2+ is the same as RGH2, except that the slowdown is sent by the southbridge, instead of the glitch chip.However, it is considered more difficult to tune, and less consistent. RGH2 is for Slims (but also works for Non-Xenon Phats), which uses I2C slowdown instead of PLL slowdown, and works on any dashboard.It uses CPU_PLL_BYPASS to slow down the CPU by 128x in order to precisely power glitch during a hash check on a bootloader. RGH1 is for Phat consoles with dashboard 14699 and lower.The timing of when and how long the pulse should be sent is dependent on the console and it may take some tweaking until it "glitches" and boots. The hack relies on a vulnerability in the hardware found by GliGli that is triggered by sending a reset pulse to the processor at a specific moment, resulting in a power glitch that causes a bootloader hash check to return "valid" no matter what you have flashed in place of the stock bootloader. Reset Glitch Hack (RGH) is a hardware modification which allows you to run unsigned code, mods, game backups, and homebrew. Please have someone else mod your console if you are not experienced in soldering! The steps on this page are considered risky for your console, as there is a chance you can brick it.
