RGH 2

RGH 2 requires soldering a glitch chip and careful wiring. A slip can brick the console, so verify your board revision and work patiently.

RGH 2 is a later evolution of the reset-glitch family. Like its predecessors it momentarily perturbs the processor at startup so a security check is bypassed and a modified image can launch unsigned code. RGH 2 was designed to glitch more quickly and reliably on certain board revisions, often shortening the wait before the loader appears.

How the process is staged

Identify the console
Confirm the motherboard revision and that RGH 2 suits it.
Read the NAND
Dump the flash with a NAND programmer and extract the CPU key in J-Runner.
Install the glitch chip
Fit and wire a glitch chip to deliver the reset-glitch.
Build & write the image
Let J-Runner produce the glitch image and flash it back to the console.
Boot XeLL
Verify the homebrew loader starts on power-up.
Set up a dashboard
Install a custom dashboard to finish the setup.

For consoles where avoiding a dedicated chip is preferred, look at RGH 3, which relies on wiring alone.
