bad avatar - xbox 360

The ABadAvatar USB is a great entry point for unlocking your console without picking up a soldering iron. It is compatible with every model and lets you run Aurora, homebrew, and stealth servers in minutes. While this is a clever temporary solution, it does not replace the power of a full RGH hard mod.
If you want the true enthusiast experience with instant boot times and a permanent, seamless setup that just works, a hard modded console is the upgrade you are looking for.

This is a "Softmod" that allows you to run modded software on a standard retail Xbox 360 without opening the console or soldering. By plugging in the USB and following a specific sign-in process, you trigger a "hacked state" that allows the console to run the Aurora Dashboard and Mod Menus.

No. An RGH is a permanent hardware modification. The Bad Avatar USB is a non-persistent softmod. This means the mod is only active while the USB is plugged in. If you turn off the console and remove the USB, your Xbox returns to its standard retail state.

Your console must meet two requirements:

It must be updated to the latest official dashboard version (2.0.17559.0).

You must have the Avatar Update installed (your avatars must not be grey mannequins). If you don't have these, you must update via Xbox Live or an official Microsoft update before using the USB.

You can choose to have Stealth Server files pre-loaded on the USB, which allows for online play. However, we do not recommend playing online with a softmod. Since the console is still a retail unit, the risk of a ban is much higher than on a hardware RGH system.

Yes! We offer an optional Pre-Modded Game Add-on. If selected, we will load the USB with a full game (like GTA V or Black Ops 2) that has Script Mods and Custom Textures already embedded. If you don't select this, you will need to source and load your own games.

It works on almost every Phat, Slim, and E model. The only exception is the "Winchester" motherboard (manufactured late 2014-2015), which is incompatible with all current exploits.
