RGH 1.2

RGH 1.2 involves soldering a glitch chip to the motherboard. Mistakes can permanently damage the board, so practice your soldering and confirm your console revision first.

RGH 1.2 is a refined reset-glitch method. Reset-glitch techniques briefly disturb the processor during startup so that a security check passes unintentionally, allowing a modified image to boot unsigned code. The 1.2 revision improved consistency over the original RGH and remains a popular choice on supported boards.

How the process is staged

  1. Identify the console
    Determine the motherboard revision so you can choose the correct glitch chip and image type.
  2. Read the NAND
    Dump the flash with a NAND programmer and recover the CPU key in J-Runner.
  3. Install the glitch chip
    Mount and wire a glitch chip so it can deliver the reset-glitch at boot.
  4. Build & write the image
    Have J-Runner assemble a glitch-enabled image and flash it back.
  5. Boot XeLL
    Power on and confirm the loader appears; boot times can vary by console.
  6. Set up a dashboard
    Install a custom dashboard for daily use.

If your board is a poor match for 1.2, RGH 2 or RGH 3 may glitch faster or with simpler wiring.
