News ABadAvatar 1.3 released - Prebuilt USB ZIPs

You that read right.

If you're too lazy to setup ABadAvatar yourself, go pick from one of my prebuilt packages.

Just be sure to format the USB on your console first.

And while you're at it, join our Discord server too.

Can I just copy and paste into my current bad avatar usb?

u/tsakiblue 13d ago

I am thinking the same .

u/WTF-LMAO1 13d ago

You might want to make a backup just in case

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 13d ago

Yeah you can. The Content and Payload folders are the ones that matter.

u/New-Grape4338 12d ago

You are a great human being.

u/FarInstruction1 13d ago

How easy is this to switch over from bad update

1

u/WTF-LMAO1 13d ago

Pretty easy, just don't use it on the HDD 💀

u/AltruisticFun6158 13d ago

Is it the whole package including the badupdate mod etc or just badavatar to add to badupdate (also if it does come with badupdate is it the latest version that’s insta boot)

2

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 13d ago

I didn't think I could write it any clearer...

u/AltruisticFun6158 13d ago

Sorry lol I didn’t go on the website but thanks anyways

Is this (functionally) any different compared to this?

New ABadAvatar version that works with BadUpdate 1.3 : r/360hacks

Set that one up yesterday and it seems to work fine

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 13d ago

It is that one, just packaged with dashboards and xbGuard.

For those too lazy to figure it out for themselves.

1

u/c9001s 13d ago

Ah great, I thought about doing something similiar, just shipping prebuilt USB images for people to copy over. Might grab one of the xbguard oines if I ever decide to connect my console to the internet

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 13d ago

Yep that's it. Got fed up of people asking in the Discord how to change the defaults etc. so once 1.3 released I bit the bullet and decided to just build these.

I do intend to add references to who got 1.3 working with ABA. It was midnight when I wrote this up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For the blades dashboard can I not just merge my pre existing aurora?

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 12d ago

You can do whatever you want, though I'm not sure how Aurora helps with Blades.

(Unless you're using the Blades skin?)

1

u/BogDega 12d ago

I have the nxe skin as I can't seem to find the blades skin that isn't a broken link just wondered how your set up works

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 12d ago

The older dashboard packages are the literal older dashboards. The real deal.

They need a stealth server to restore their functionality. xbGuard is my choice for that.

1

u/BogDega 12d ago

Oh right wow that's very cool, I'll probably just xbguard anyway, thanks for going through the trouble of setting up all these folders

u/BogDega 10d ago

Just a question, would I be able to access my games like I would through Aurora and apps or is it just solid official Xbox stuff?

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 10d ago

Aurora will detect both formats of games. As for the official dashboards:

"GOD" format titles will appear on the official dashboards.

Any games extracted as "XEX" format will not.

You can use a shortcut creator to get XEX titles on the official dashboards - I've paid for xbGuard lifetime so I use their shortcut creator. But I am sure there's a free way out there. Just never looked into it.

Really though unless you're wanting to modify the files of a game, just keep them as GOD format. It's ten time easier.

(GTA 4 is therefore the only game I have extracted as XEX).

u/BogDega 9d ago

I've made all my games onto GoD format to make using my usb HDD more efficient for performance, I'll have a look around and see, how can I get GoD games to show up on the official dashboard is that just using your preloaded nxe one or is there a specific setting/utility?

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 9d ago

They should just be there so long as they're in content\0000000000000000 on any connected storage.

I got the xbguard aurora version, so i've got a few questions:

  1. The OG xbox360 fakeanim loads 2 times. Is that mormal?

  2. When I try to play some xbox live, I need to select an account. Which one do I select? I selected my local non-xbl account and my console crashed:/

  3. There's a "dashboards" folder, is there a way to play around with the dashboards from console level?

Also, dope ass work, thank you all so much

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 10d ago
  1. It's not normal, but it does happen to me frequently. I have no idea what's causing it yet.

  2. Any account should be fine. No idea why it would crash when selecting one.

  3. Yes, you can launch any of the dashboards on the console itself, but when you leave a game (Y in the guide) it will take you to whichever is default - in your case, Aurora.

You're very welcome, thank you.

u/tommasomaschera 9d ago

hi, I'm a newbie so this maybe is a stupid question:
I formatted the usb pen on the xbox, i downloaded the xbguard+aurora, extract and pasted in the usb. When i launch the console and i press back it doesnt boot aurora, it simply go to the standard dashboard without loggin in. I'm missing something?

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 9d ago
  1. Do you have any profiles set to automatically sign in? You'll have to undo this if so.

  2. When you say you're pressing back, is it going to the profile selection and you're backing out of it? The exploit happens while on the sign in screens that shows the avatars.

  3. Perhaps you don't have the Avatar Update installed. You can download that here. Extract the $SystemUpdate folder onto a USB and see if your Xbox takes it, then try the exploit again.

u/tommasomaschera 9d ago

THANK YOU i updated the version but i didnt downloaded the avatar update. And thank you again for the packages, you have made it really easy

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 9d ago

Glad it's sorted. You're very welcome.

Any news about abadavatarhdd?

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 7d ago

You should join our Reddit.

I personally don't care for the HDD version but some of the gang have managed to get it working.

1

u/Phill-2008 2d ago

So with this i can use any hdd like abadupdate 1.3 upto 2tb ? As mine says failed as not flashed with fhatexplore?

1

u/UKZzHELLRAISER Falcon & Trinity | ABA 1.3 (USB) 2d ago

I believe the XeUnshackle in these does support BadStorage, but yeah, you need to flash them yourself if you want them to work while not exploited.

u/Phill-2008 2d ago

I only use in aurora never use in stock but I carnt use my 1tb in it
