== About This Page ==
This page is part of an ongoing effort to '''document and preserve everything related to Xbox Series S development and prototype builds'''.
Our goal is to '''collect, verify, and archive''' as much information as possible in one central location that anyone can use as a '''reference point'''.

Each entry indicates whether it is:
* '''Publicly available''' — confirmed and archived
* '''Known but not yet available''' — referenced but no files or images found

If you can help fill in the gaps, please do!
We offer '''bounties paid in Bits''' for anyone who can provide a '''working Internet Archive link''' to missing materials.

Together, we can ensure this knowledge remains accessible to everyone interested in '''Xbox development history'''.

----

== Bounty (Short) ==
'''Bounty:''' Bits will be awarded for verified Internet Archive links to undocumented XSS builds, NANDs, or other missing XSS-related materials.
Links must point to [https://archive.org Internet Archive (archive.org)] and may be '''your own upload or someone else’s'''.

----

== Disclaimer (Short) ==
'''Disclaimer:''' No content is shared or distributed here — this page only links to material already hosted on the [https://archive.org Internet Archive] for documentation and preservation purposes.

== XSS Overview ==
'''XSS''' (sometimes referred to as '''XBS''') is the operating system used by the Xbox 360 family of consoles and dev/test hardware.
It evolved from the original Xbox OS, which itself was a heavily customized Windows NT / Windows 2000–derived kernel, and it underpins the dashboard, recovery system, device drivers, and developer tooling for the platform.

Much of the historical structure, build taxonomy, and terminology on this page was adapted from community research published on XenonLibrary’s "XSS" entry, plus contributor notes.
Used with permission. We’ve rewritten and expanded it for clarity and CNH’s format, and we’ll continue to add links and media as we go.

----

== What This Page Shows ==
This page lists all the recoveries that have been found and preserved over the years.
Each column in the table is explained below so you know what you’re looking at.

----

== Build Types ==
XSS is the underlying operating system that runs on the Xbox 360.
There are three common build types:

* '''Checked (Debug)''' — Debug build used for development and testing; contains extra checks and debugging functionality developers need.
* '''Hybrid''' — A build that mixes Free and Checked attributes; closer to a retail environment but with some debugging functionality.
* '''Free (Retail)''' — Made to be as close to retail as possible; simulates how software will behave on a retail console.

----

== SDK ==
The '''Software Development Kit (SDK)''' is the software used on your PC.
It contains the tools needed to communicate with your Xbox 360 and to assist with building and debugging games.

----

== Kernel Version ==
This is the package that would be sent out to developers and includes the SDK, recovery, and ISO containing XSS.
Each release typically includes bug fixes, new features, and updated functions.

The version number breaks down like this:

* '''Major''' – Kernel generation (on Xbox 360 this is typically 2)
* '''Minor''' – Usually 0
* '''Build''' – The build number (e.g., 21256)
* '''QFE''' – Quick Fix Engineering hotfix iteration (e.g., .8)

'''Example:''' `2.0.21256.8` → Major: 2 / Minor: 0 / Build: 21256 / QFE: .8

----

== Video Walkthrough ==
A simple video demo of XSS running on an Xbox 360 can show the progression between versions.
Note: apart from dashboard or launcher replacements, differences between successive XSS versions may be minor.

----

== Notes ==
Nothing much to say here for now — additional information will be added as new data becomes available.

----

== ROM / Compatibility ==
This column lists which console revisions and hardware configurations each recovery or build is compatible with.

== Sources & Attribution ==

* Additional CNH community notes, captures, and teardown data (to be linked per row).

XSS

2025-10-30T20:18:27Z

Thecnh:

= XSS (Xbox System Software) =

'''XSS''' (sometimes referred to as '''XBS''') is the operating system used by the Xbox 360 family of consoles and dev/test hardware. It evolved from the original Xbox OS, which itself was a heavily customized Windows NT/2000–derived kernel, and it underpins the dashboard, recovery system, device drivers, and developer tooling for the platform.

; Attribution
: Much of the historical structure, build taxonomy, and terminology on this page was adapted from community research published on XenonLibrary’s “XSS” entry, plus contributor notes. Used with permission. We’ve rewritten and expanded it for clarity and CNH’s format, and we’ll continue to add links and media as we go.

== Build Releases ==
An XSS version is expressed as four parts:
* '''Major''' – kernel generation (on 360 this is typically '''2''')
* '''Minor''' – usually '''0'''
* '''Build''' – the build number (e.g., '''21256''')
* '''QFE''' – Quick Fix Engineering hotfix iteration (e.g., ''.8'')

Example: '''2.0.21256.8''' → Major: 2 / Minor: 0 / Build: 21256 / QFE: .8

== Build Types ==
XSS components (kernel, import libraries, filesystems) are produced in three primary “flavors,” depending on the scenario:
* '''Free (Retail)''' – Highly optimized for size/perf; no debug asserts; stripped symbols.
* '''Checked (Debug)''' – Adds extra verification and diagnostics (argument checks, extended logs) to help isolate device-driver and memory issues.
* '''Hybrid''' – A practical mix: mostly free, with selective checked bits and basic debug info; common for dev kit workflows.

== Recoveries ==
A '''Recovery''' is a packaged update/restore workflow used to provision a development or test console (and sometimes to re-install/refresh a retail unit for validation). These are distributed to approved partners and studios and may be internal or external builds. On blank or manufacturing images, running a recovery may blow specific eFuses depending on target and flow.

=== Branches ===
XSS follows a standard source-control model:
* '''Main branch''' – primary tree used for broad partner and retail releases.
* '''Milestone/non-main branches''' – short-lived (or parallel) series (e.g., '''15xx''', '''18xx''', '''17xxx''') that can be cross-developed. When stable, changes are merged back to main after extensive BVT runs.

Known historical codenames on early branches include: '''A5''', '''A6'''.

=== Recovery Build Types ===
* '''External''' – Release-class builds (can mix free/checked/hybrid elements). Non-main branches are also compiled as External to maximize BVT coverage.
* '''Internal''' – Debug-class builds packaged with internal tools (e.g., Xuite) and checked filesystems/libraries throughout.
* '''TakeHome''' – A convenience package with themes, avatar assets, and bonus content aimed at wider evaluation.

Studios could request specific non-main builds when needed.

=== Recovery Options ===
During recovery you choose target profile:
* '''Dev/Test selection'''
* Deploys a checked Kernel/ROM (TestKit or DevKit ROM depending on fuses)
* Filesystems/libraries are checked or mixed (hybrid)
* Sets the developer launcher ('''xshell.xex''') as default title
* '''Retail selection'''
* Deploys a free Kernel/ROM and free filesystems/libraries
* Sets the standard dashboard ('''dash.xex''') as default title
* Omits '''XBDM.xex''' (debug manager) from the filesystem

Note: choosing Retail on a system whose eFuses are already blown will not re-blow them.

==== Special Builds ====
* '''ChinaDeploy''' – Variants with additional options for Chinese default language; limited public details.
* '''Unsecured Recovery''' – Highly restricted recoveries that can recover consoles in an unsecured state (aka “Superdevkit”).

== Software Development Kit ==
The 360 '''SDK''' provides the toolchain and validation utilities for building, profiling, and testing titles and system software. Access was provided through Microsoft’s partner program; external/main-branch releases typically align closely to the month around their build date in partner drops.

== Known XSS Build List ==
; How to read this table
: Each row is a specific external/internal build snapshot. We’ve added four CNH-specific columns so you can quickly see what’s available to download or watch, and where it works.

; Notes for CNH editors
: * '''Availability''' — e.g., “Public if u look you can find ”, “Not Public may be Privately owed ””.
: * '''Bounty''' — A Bounty reward for any xss that are not publicly available ; use ''N/A'' if none.
: * '''Video Walkthrough''' — YouTube video from boot and navigating the menus (YouTube/Vimeo).
: * '''Compatibility''' — hardware target(s): e.g., ''xenon-a'', ''xenon-r1 (WN1/2)'', ''zephyr-r1'', ''falcon-r1 (Loki)'', ''jasper-r1'', etc.

= 🧰 Xbox 360 / Console Troubleshooting Guide =

'''Note:'''
This guide is mainly for ''unmodded consoles'' or ''modded consoles that were working fine but suddenly stopped working'' without you changing anything.

== ⚡ Step 1: Check the basics ==
Before anything else, make sure you’ve checked the following:

* Power cable is fully plugged in.
* HDMI or AV cable is firmly connected.
'''Tip:''' Xenon models will show '''4 red lights''' if no AV cable is connected.

== 🔌 Step 2: Does the console power on? ==

'''If NO:'''
* Check the '''power supply LED'''.

**• Light is green:**
Try powering on using a '''controller''' instead of the console button.
If using a wireless controller, make sure it’s paired to the console.
If it turns on now, you may have a '''faulty power button''' — [[Power Button Repair Guide|click here to learn how to test and repair it]].

**• Light is off or red:**
1. Disconnect power for '''10–20 seconds''', then reconnect.
2. If it’s still the same, the '''power supply fuse''' may be blown or the '''PSU is faulty'''.
Try a replacement PSU or fuse.
If there’s no light or it stays red even when disconnected from the console, the PSU is likely dead.

== 💡 Step 3: Console turns on but nothing happens ==

If the console powers up but doesn’t boot:

* Does it start but show '''no video'''?
* Check the HDMI or AV '''port for damage'''.
* If still no picture:
* On '''HDMI models''', try using a '''yellow/white/red AV cable''' instead.
* If you get video through AV, your '''HANA chip''' might need replacing.
* If you have a '''modded console''', try powering on then press Eject this disables plugins that could stop it booting.

== 🔴 Step 4: Console shows an error or red lights ==

If your console boots to an '''error code''' or '''3 red lights''',
→ [[Error Code Lookup|Click here to go to the Error Code Guide]]
You can enter your '''Code''', '''HEX''', or '''UEM''' number to find the repair steps and video tutorials.
