Booting the exploit

Before exploiting make sure you are not connecting to the internet at all, no ethernet or wifi connected/enabled

  • Plug the flash drive into your console, boot the console.
  • You will boot to the avatar screen. You should see a new avatar named BadAvatar and get a notification.
  • Do not select any avatars. You may move around this screen to make sure your console hasn't frozen, but do not select an avatar.
  • After about 30 seconds, you should get the XeUnshackle chains-breaking animation. This means you have successfully exploited your console.
