*...........................: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. *

|
|
* A: Start by opening PrometheOS Tools. Choose your specific modchip from *
|
|
* the menu, then navigate to 'Flash Tools' > 'Update PrometheOS.' *
|
|
* Optionally, you can select 'Backup' beforehand to secure your *
|
|
* current settings and data. Then, select the appropriate image file *
|
|
* for flashing and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the *
|
|
* process. *
|
|
