Published 2022-12-10
This video will walk through the process of discussing RGH3, discussing prerequisites, and stepping through a full Xbox 360 Phat disassembly to get RGH3 installed. The installation itself will cover preparing the resistor, diode, wiring everything up to the console, and building ourselves a custom NAND for some homebrew goodness.

The explanation a the begginning of the video is perfect, cant agree more-
-
Thank you very much. Great to see Quality tutorials in 2022.
-
I don't know how often you get this, but I've watched your videos since about 2014. We've actually talked briefly before, funny enough. Still after all these years, you make good stuff for people to watch. Always very informative and make it very user friendly. You've always been very kind to me, and I love to see you still thriving today. Keep going strong, my friend. :))

one of the best YT Guides ive ever seen. well done
-
Mr Mario - you are freaking awesome! I could never have done this without your expert guide
-
Just ordered a Jasper. Watched your whole video; I only have minor experience soldering in school years ago but I think I may give this a go. I’m pretty hands on. Great tutorial; love how in depth your tutorial was while not being patronising. Will be sure to update you on how it goes when I eventually get all the kit together ❤

You are the person that inspired me to do RGH on xboxes, I did couple of Trinity consoles using your guide and RGH 3 couple of Falcons. I do feel proud of myself that I was able to do it before you did the tutorial, but I am still very grateful for your work. Btw for removing old thermal paste I found naphta (lighter fluid) to be the best, it dissolves it in no time. Just remember to flush it with some isopropyl alcohol as naphta stinks a bit. Thanks again for your work man, cheers!
-
Successfully done 2 trinity's and 1 jasper with your tutorials now, thank you!
-
Aah here we go, thanks for another tutorial. Youre an absolute legend mate.
-
Tried doing rgh 1.2 but I just couldn't get it to boot consistently if at all no matter what I did. So I tried this instead and so far it's been amazing, instant boots on my jasper 16mb. Really appreciate all your videos man they have made this whole process a breeze.
-
I messed up One Jasper for the First Time. But thank you i did It on another Jasper and a Falcon and It perfectly works
-
Thank you Mr. Mario for the heads-up. A big shut-out to the "Hellooooo..." Man Octo.
-
Right now i just successfully booted my rgh3 falcon, thanks a lot for this guide!
-
Great video! I've done the rgh3 on my 512mb jasper, with great success. Has been running for over a month now, with mostly instaboot times. I have been super lucky with my console. Fantastic instructions as always!
-
Here's a tip for remembering the orientation of the diode inside your shrinkwrapped wire. Just use another color of wire on that end. I used a white wire on the anode side and a black wire on the cathode side. Easy peasy to remember which end to hook up to POST1/FT6U7.

I've done few 360 elite (jasper V2) rgh3 and yes, these have a bit inconsistent boot time (from instant boot to few sec, sometimes more than 10sec.) Sometimes, they won't glitch at all, but it's really rare, and you just have to turn it off and turn it on again. However, all of my 360 are at my friend's home, they are running at least once a week, and they never let us down ! I understand what you said, but with my small experience, I still recommend rgh3 on phat system if you want to enjoy good games for the cheapest price ! Keep it up !

I just wanted to drop in and say...I'm sorry if I came off rough edged. I'm actually a kind person. I'm looking forward to your merch arriving soon. I'ma feature it in a stream or video....prolly not a major repair where sticky flux or a funky console that walks in. Keeping it clean. Not very good with tutorials like you are... truth 🙌 but I'm trying. Wishing you the best and Happy Holidays! Be safe. Be blessed.

Huge props to your guide, now I'm a proud owner of both a Kronos RGH3 Elite unit and a custom-cobbled-together MS serviced Falcon that's RGH3'd. Kronos was done locally, the Falcon I did it myself. Bought a Pico, worked straight out of the first try with 27MHz. Shell is made out of a Elite Falcon that had a missing faceplate, and a scrapped (broke traces when removing X-Clamps >.<) white May08 Falcon. Now, just to get Aurora in there, and a new drive... I think I have a black WD Scorpio that's best suited for it :) Also have a early 16MB Jasper I might try again on. ;) EDIT: It seems to take a lil' bit with 27 MHz. Not that I really care, that's just assuring me "hey, it's workin' its magic alright, so sit down an' shaddap!" (Abe's Exoddus loading screen reference lmao). Still trying to figure how to get Aurora in there :)

Nice job and easy to follow. 👍

Thank you, I successfully RGHed my jasper
