Xbox 360 downgrade to Blades using Bad Update

Описание: Since the Xbox 360 turned 20, I decided to release the full version of this video. Enjoy!
This video was originally recorded on the 16th of October, 2025.

This video is not a tutorial. This is also not a full-on downgrade since it's still technically running the latest bootloaders. If you are going to use this info to sell "totally legitimate" blades consoles on eBay, don't.

Guide I followed: https://gist.github.com/ceilingtilefa...
Dashboard version compatibility list: https://gist.github.com/ceilingtilefa...

Install older dashboards at your own risk, especially if you don't have a NAND backup and a NAND flasher. Don't install dashboard versions that are not compatible with your console. I took a major risk by doing this without any NAND flashers. You must also downgrade your DVD drive's firmware or disconnect the sata cable. If you don't, you will get an RRoD on boot.
