XSS
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.
