This is what you have to know if you have an xbox rgh/jtag

This is for the most part not a guide. This is a list of multiple guides, from all over the web that have helped me answer alot of the questions I see on here about the RGH/JTAG Process, what to do after, and what software you want.

You may have to create accounts on some other sites to view some of this content. It is totally worth the time.

This is a work in progress. Information is subject to change when ever. Credit goes to all the original authors of the guides, and to me of coarse, as I took the time to put this together. I hope this helps people solve their own problems. If there is anything else the community thinks should be added, please leave it in a reply, and if I think it is helpful I will add it. 

Hardware Stuff:

1. RGH/JTAG Roadmap for Noobs: http://team-xecuter....map-for-n00bies
2. RGH/Hardware suggestion Guide:http://team-xecuter....uggestion-Guide - Should note that this primarily follows TX hardware, any glitch chip/ dual nand device should work.
These both help you decide what hack will be best for you, and your console.

10. Testing Nand-X Points: http://team-xecuter....ection-Problems

I didnt include install guides, as all the chips are well documented by their manufacturers.

Should also be mentioned that 2 new hacks for the Phat console have been discovered.

1. RGH1.2 - This uses RGH1 wiring with an RGH2 image, and a regular coolrunner(brand doesnt matter) Flash the rgh1.2 timing files, and get back the speed and reliability of rgh1 on your updated console with out paying for the CR4.

2. R-JTOP - This uses RGH1 and JTAG wiring with a coolrunner(brand doesnt matter), and a JTAG image, pretty much a clone of RJTAG+, but completly homebrew. Downfall is there are no pre-compiled xsvf files, but should also work on a Xenon(No guarantee xenon chip will recover from cpu_pll_bypass slowdown), but will require some modification to the code,for key recovery at a minimum. RGH1.2 would work on a xenon(With same limitation), but there is the downfall that is it requires an RGH2 image, and you can not currently generate one for a Xenon with most xebuild configurations.

Updating Your RGH kernel and Avatar/Kinect data:
There are multiple methods of doing this, but my all time favorate is using the xebuild updserv option. It is quick, and can be done without manually flashing the nand, and will update the avatar/kinect data for you.
Freeboot:

Spoiler

Now my favorite app for this is JRunner. Xebuild, and Xebuild GUI can also be used, and do the same thing, as JRunner has Xebuild built in.

Xebuild GUI Instructions:

Old School Manual Way:
Use if you dont have a network available. (Not Likely in this day and age.)

Spoiler

RGLoader:

Spoiler

If you are running RGLoader, you are probably a homebrew dev, and have no need for this guide. That being said, I will cover the basics.
RGLoader is a nand image that creates a custom devkit out of your RGH. If you are a gamer, then this is not recomended, as features like link will not work in RGLoader.

TX Fusion:

Spoiler

If you are running this, there are no updates, as this project was scrapped like 2 years ago. It had awesome potential, but not alot of interest. My advice is to switch to freeboot, or if you are a dev to switch to RGLoader.

Software to run on your JTAG/RGH:

This is where things get fun.

Dashboards: (Here I will cover the most common custom dashboards.)

Spoiler

1. Aurora: http://www.realmodsc...?showtopic=4452
            -Best option, is still being developed, so new features are being added all the time. At the time of posting this link point to the latest revision.
2. Freestyle Dash:  http://www.realmodsc...090-f3-rev-775/
           - Very Nice, but discontinued, and slow with large game librarys. It should also be mentioned that features like weather are reported not working, as the app hasnt been update to work with the new weather api.
3. XexMenu 1.2: http://www.thetechga...ex-menu-12.html
           - Minimal xex launching app. Does come with built in ftp server, and file manager.

Emulators:

Spoiler

1. Hacked Original Xbox emulator:http://www.realmodsc...n-your-jtagrgh/
2. Retroarch - Covers most old emulators, and is a good place to go if you want a general system emulator. There is now a version that is compatible with aurora rom launching feature, and it can be found herehttp://www.realmodsc...launch-feature/
3. The rest can be found here:http://www.realmodsc... 360/emulators/
     - All of these emulators do not support Aurora's rom launching feature, but there are alot of really good emulators here. Some of them are libxenon only, and require being launched in xell, or through aurora file manager, which can now launch libxenon apps. 

Homebrew Apps 360:

Dashlaunch Plugins:

Spoiler

1. XBDM.xex http://digiex.net/at...d-jtag_xbdm.zip
     -Allows for some devkit capabilitys, such as Xbox Neighborhood, memory editing, xbwatson, etc. Mainly used by trainer users/devs, and xbox live hackers.
2.swap.xexhttp://digiex.net/at...swapper_1.1.zip
     -Used for multidisc games from hdd, will swap discs for you. Not needed if running FSD3, or Aurora as the built in plugin already has this.
3. ftpdll.xex http://digiex.net/at...-ftpdll_0.3.zip
    -Ftp Server as plugin, will work in game, which the fsd/aurora/xexmenu versions do not.
4. RPC.xex, XRPC.xex
    -RPC plugins, used for making trainers, and hacking memory addresses in real time.
5. Stealth.xex
   -A set of plugins you will not get help with on these forums, so dont even ask about it. If you do, your thread will be removed.

6. ConnecX http://www.realmodsc...-aurora-how-to/

   -A Plugin For opening/Running games from SMB shares(The ones windows uses)

Original Xbox Homebrew/Emulators:
It should be noted, that some of these work no problem, and others dont. You will need to install the hacked emulator files listed above to run any original xbox homebrew. As the original version of this emulator was only meant to work with certain games, some homebrew wont work, so I will list apps I have tested, and if they work or not. I did not try any of the original xbox custom dashboards(eg. Avalaunch, EvoX, UnleashX, etc), because they arent needed for anything.

Spoiler

1. XBMC- As much as we would all like to see this on the 360, it doesnt work. 
2. Duke3dX - not working 
3. DoomX - Works, but randomly crashes.
4. XHeretic - Works, but didnt play for more then 5 minutes
5. XHexen - Works, but didnt play for more then 5 minutes
