The Xbox 360 modding scene continues to thrive, and the FreeMyXe team never stops. It’s with great pleasure that we’ve announced the release of FreeMyXe 1.1 , the latest version of the lightweight executable that unlocks your console by patching the kernel and hypervisor at runtime, taking advantage of Grimdoomer’s BadUpdate exploit.

This new release brings a much-requested community improvement and some important fixes.

What’s New in FreeMyXe 1.1?

Here are the main new features you’ll find in version 1.1:

  • Added support for Bad Storage formatted drives:  Thanks to the key contributions of  @EatonZ , FreeMyXe 1.1 now features Bad Storage support  . This means you can now seamlessly use internal hard drives and SSDs with capacities  greater than 500GB  on your Xbox 360. A fantastic update for those who need more space for games and homebrew!
  • Fixed slightly broken XeLL boot logic:  The team fixed a small issue in the logic that handles booting  XeLL , the open-source bootloader. Booting XeLL should now be more reliable and work as expected.

What is FreeMyXe? A Review

For those who don’t know, FreeMyXe is a  lightweight  , targeted solution designed specifically for:

  • Apply unlock patches  to the kernel and hypervisor in real time.
  • Allow homebrew ,  XeLL  and  LibXenon to run  .
  • Display your CPU Key prominently   (write it down and keep it safe!).
  • Disable Xbox Live connections (but you still need to disconnect your console before performing the exploit!).

If you are looking for a more complete solution with plugin support and higher game compatibility, the team itself recommends alternatives like  XeUnshackle .

FreeMyXe Main Features

In addition to the new features in 1.1, FreeMyXe offers a solid set of features:

  • Automatically start XeLL  if present in the folder  BadUpdatePayload.
  • Running unsigned content  (homebrew, XeXMenu, etc.).
  • Automatically start  homebrew after applying patches.
  • Disabling Xbox Live .
  • Options to  automatically patch  or  start XeLL directly .
  • Patches  for hypervisor access, support for compatible USB controllers, LED bug fix after BadUpdate, and much more.

Important Warnings: Read Carefully!

Using FreeMyXe and the BadUpdate exploit comes with certain responsibilities. Please keep in mind:

  • BRICK DANGER:  DO NOT  run homebrew that modifies files on the NAND, and  DO NOT  attempt to flash a modified NAND.  YOU WILL RENDER YOUR CONSOLE UNUSABLE!
  • RISK OF BAN:  COMPLETELY DISCONNECT  your console from Xbox Live and the Internet before running BadUpdate and  NEVER CONNECT AGAIN . Do not run homebrew with an Xbox Live-enabled profile. The risk of ban is real!

FreeMyXe is and remains free software

FreeMyXe is free software.  If you paid for it, either separately or in a bundle,  you’ve been scammed!  Redistribution is only allowed if it’s free.
