OK first let me apologize. I'm completely new to modding the XBox 360 and have not followed the scene at all and have done a fair amount of googling to try to get this answered but I'm getting either mixed answers or ancient answers so I figured I'd just bite the bullet and ask. I'm not a total noob though. I have done the custom dash on the original XBox, I have a phatty PS2/network adapter/hdloader setup, I have a CFW PSP, a CFW PS3, a VHBL Vita, I've letterbombed my Wii, so basically if it can be modded, I mod it.
OK, so anyway, I got an old refurbished Xenon off of ebay dirt cheap and it's currently on 2.0.16203.0 dashboard. I want to know what my options are if somebody would be so kind to point me in the right direction. From what I've read the dashboard is too new to jtag, and I'm seeing some people say the Xenons can't be RGH'd but others talk like it can be. And also I've read that in one of the more recent dashboard updates it updated the dvd drive's firmware so does that affect the ability to do the dvd drive hack to play burned discs?
Basically, I only picked up the 360 to play the exclusives like Lost Odyssey, the original Saints Row, the Fable series and a few others that aren't available on any other platform. The discs are cheap enough used that I wouldn't mind just updating it if there's no real good hack/mod for it as it is. I'm just confused by the big mix of bad and very old info out there I thought it would just be better to ask people that have followed the scene
Thanks in advance for any help
Edit: On a side note is it possible to recover my gamertag without updating the dashboard in case there is a valid hack for my setup?
