*...........................:What Is PrometheOS?:............................*
******************************************************************************
* *
* PrometheOS marks a significant evolution in the history of the Xenium *
* Modchip, originally the sole domain of the Xenium OS. For over 18 years,*
* users of this modchip grappled with bugs and limitations, partly due to *
* the absence of open-source code from the original developer. *
* *
* In 2019, a notable change occurred with Ryzee119's creation of the *
* OpenXenium - an open-source version of the Xenium hardware. This modern *
* reinterpretation utilized modern available components and a custom CPLD,*
* maintaining compatibility with the existing Xenium OS. However, this *
* compatibility was soon challenged by the discovery of clone protection *
* within the OS, which risked bricking some chips identified as clones. *
* *
* The community's response was a mixture of patchwork and innovation. *
* While some were focused on removing security features and fixing bugs, *
* others, under the guise of contributing to open-source, subtly shifted *
* their efforts towards rebranding the OS. This rebranding mainly *
* involved removing all traces of Team Xodus and introducing new logos. *
* Additionally, a tactic assumed by most in the community was the *
* purchase and redirection of the Team Xodus domain to their own site, *
* seemingly used to promote and sell their hardware mods. These actions, *
* rather than advancing the open-source agenda, included adding support *
* for their own hardware or adjusting Terms of Service agreements, *
* diverging from the initial promises of community support and open-source*
* development. *
* *
* Team Resurgent, in collaboration with Team Cerbios and key members of *
* the Xbox community, initiated discussions about developing a new OS for *
* these modchips. The vision was for an OS with open-source code, enabling*
* community-driven expansion, feature enhancements, and support. *
* *
* Thanks to NeMesiS for donating the required hardware (modchips and *
* programmers) and providing his valuable input and feedback, the teams *
* embarked on a journey to code a replacement OS for Xenium-based *
* modchips. This endeavor culminated in the birth of PrometheOS. In its *
* current form, PrometheOS not only mimics the functionality of the *
* original Xenium OS but is a ground-up open-source development. It *
* offers enhanced file transfer speeds, skin color customization, and, *
* importantly, room for feature enhancements, bug fixes, and ongoing *
* improvements. *
* *

******************************************************************************
******************************************************************************
*....................:What Are VSC (Vendor Specific Commands)?:..............*
******************************************************************************
* *
* Vendor Specific Commands (VSCs) for Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are *
* commands designed by HDD manufacturers to perform specialized *
* operations beyond the standard command sets (e.g., ATA, SCSI). These *
* commands allow access to features and functionalities not exposed *
* through standard interfaces, including internal diagnostics, firmware *
* updates, and special configuration adjustments. *
* *
* VSCs can be particularly useful for unlocking drives that have been *
* secured with a hardware-level password. For instance, when a drive is *
* locked, it may not allow access to its data without the correct *
* password. Manufacturers like Western Digital (WD) and Seagate use VSCs *
* to interact with the drive's firmware to issue unlock commands, either *
* by providing a master or user password. This capability is crucial for *
* data recovery scenarios, where access to the locked drive's data is *
* required but the password may have been forgotten or lost. *
* *
* How To Use VSC Unlocker: *
* Plug in OEM drive, turn on Xbox with PrometheOS, go to Settings > Utils *
* > HDD Unlock > Press A to unlock. *
