CREDIT GOES TO L14M333 from 7S
Freeboot 0.032 changes this and online lobbys work again but this method is handy if you dont have an unbanned KV.
so lets start...
Requirements:
- 1 JTAGED Xbox 360
- 1 Non JTAGED Xbox 360
- A way of transferring 7gb of data from PC to xbox - If you know how to you can rip the game directly to your xbox and just copy 2 the modded files to the console.
- 1 XBL Account to mod
- Internet access
- 2 etherent cales (or one wifi of un-JTAGED xbox)
- ISO of ModernWarfare2
- Xbox Image Bowser: [url=http://thetechgame.org/files/373422541/XIB.zip] RapidShare[/url]- Password L14M333
- Modded files i made: [url=http://thetechgame.org/files/375919434/L14M333_s_Sys-Lnk_XP_patch_v1.2.rar]RapidShare[/url] - Password L14M333
For XEXMenu:
-Xbins and imgburn: [url=http://thetechgame.org/files/374632622/Xbins_and_Imgburn.rar]Rapidshare[/url]
-Blank DVD/CD - (DVD method)
-Laptop/PC with DVD/CD burner - (DVD method)
-Data Transfer Cable - (Stock Xbox HDD method)
-Way of connecting HDD to pc - (Custom HDD method (im not sure how to do this))
- Xport360 or Xplorer360: [url=http://thetechgame.org/files/374649786/Setup_XPort_360_v2_12.zip]RapidShare[/url] - Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 needed i think: [url=http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6&displaylang=en]Microsoft.com[/url]
Lets Start:
Extracting the ISO
[spoil]First you need to open the XboxImageBrowser and locate the ModernWarfare2 ISO you downloaded or ripped (GOOGLE)
[img]http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/7035/95590201.png[/img]
Now you will see the contents of the ISO (below), Right click the main file and click extract and extract the contents onto a 8GB or more HDD or USB drive (must be formatted to Fat32)
[img]http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/4475/97643688.png[/img][/spoil]
Installing XEXMenu
[spoil]First off you want to extract the rar file with xbins and imgburn in it to your desktop and run xbins.exe
[img]http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/6442/screenshot20100411at140.png[/img]
Now you want to navigate to: Xbox 360>Dashboards> XEXMenu
[img]http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6442/screenshot20100411at140.png[/img]
Now you want to drag Xexmenu_v1.1-ISO.rar if your using the DVD/CD method or XexMenu_v1.1.rar if your using the HDD method to the left window (by default it is your desktop)
[img]http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6276/screenshot20100411at141.png[/img]
Once its on your desktop you want to open the .rar up and extract the .iso to your desktop. Now load imgburn up and select Write image file to disk.
[img]http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/6276/screenshot20100411at141.png[/img]
Now drag the .iso into the top left area of the program then click the write button at the bottom of the window
[img]http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/6276/screenshot20100411at141.png[/img]
Now your disk should be burning
[img]http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/6276/screenshot20100411at141.png[/img]
Once its burned take the disk and place it in your jtag xbox's disk tray
[img]http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5117/img0208cf.jpg[/img]
Now my Jtag no longer has a DVD tray so i cannot use my own pics so i am taking them from this video. If you too dont have a DVD drive Dont panic! what you will need is a way of accessing your HDD in your xbox. if you have a stock HDD get hold of a DataTransfer cable (Try here?) and scroll down, if you have a custom HDD you will need to lug it directly into your pc but i dont know the exact details on doing that.
Now, back to the DVD method:
Select Play game
[img]http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/1281/screenshot20100411at144.png[/img]
Then when the menu below loads press RB to move to the HDD
[img]http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1281/screenshot20100411at144.png[/img]
Then press X and select DVD on the right to move to the DVD directory
[img]http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/1281/screenshot20100411at144.png[/img]
Now you can see the CODE999 folder
Press Y and select copy on the CODE999 Folder then move back to the HDD1 directory
Then move into Content> 0000000000000000 folder (if the 0000000000000000 folder isn't there make it (use 16 Zeros))
(my images again)
[img]http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8372/41111.png[/img]
Then press Y and select paste, The XEX menu has now been copied to the directory,
[img]http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4273/0411145753.png[/img]
you can now exit to the dashboard, remove the disk, then go to games library and you will see the XEXMenu 1.1 there to play, thats it, your done
[img]http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1236/81958652.png[/img]
[color=red]STOCK HDD METHOD[/color]
Install Xport 360 from the link above then connect you HDD to your PC via the transfer cable
[img]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9021/xport.png[/img]
Then navigate to Partition 3> Content> 0000000000000000
[img]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9021/xport.png[/img]
Now drag the CODE999 Folder what is in the XexMenu_v1.1.rar what you got from xbins earlier Then open the XeXMenu_v1.1-LIVE.rar and then copy the CODE999 folder into the 0000000000000000 Directory
[img]http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/6061/copyfn.png[/img]
Now plug your HDD back into your xbox and XEXMenu 1.1 should be in your games library
[img]http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/2793/0411155615.png[/img]
All done.
[/spoil]
Placing the modified files with the game
[spoil]Now you want to copy the two modified files i made (Default_mp.xex and patch_mp.ff) into the extracted copy of the game.
[img]http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/6494/77171167.png[/img][/spoil]
Putting the game and the modified files on the xbox
[spoil]
Now you have the game and the modified files on a USB device you are ready to put them on your Jtaged xbox and run them, first go onto your console with your USB device plugged in and load up XEXMenu
[img]http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/1236/81958652.png[/img]
Once XEXMenu has loaded up press RB once to move over to the Xbox HDD file system then hit X and select USB0: (This is if you only have one USB device connetced)
[img]http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/17/10690819.png[/img]
Now locate the folder your extracted ModernWarfare2 Game is in and hit Y on it and select copy
[img]http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/5782/0410211614.png[/img]
Now hit X again and move back to HDD1:
[img]http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/3517/0410211650.png[/img]
Now hit Y again and select create and make a new directory called Games
[img]http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/7816/0410211812.png[/img]
Now go into this directory by selecting it and pressing A and then hitting Y again and selecting Paste (may take a few mins)
[img]http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/7914/0410211852.png[/img]
Now we must patch the .XEX files so go into the extracted files we just pasted and go down to default.xex and press Y on it and select PatchXex
[img]http://img109.imageshack.us/img109/773/0410212100.png[/img]
Do the same for Default_mp.xex[/spoil]
The setup for the loby
[spoil]
Now we have our modded game ready we are going to want to set up the connection. there are two options for this; 1: to host the loby via the leaf network, see this good tut: Here, or 2: to connect the consoles directly. i am going to show you how to connect the consoles directly.
Here is what my setup looked like:
[img]http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4526/88864638.jpg[/img]
and here is the networking setup i had (not sure if other setups work)
[img]http://img121.imageshack.us/img121/4602/diagramyb.png[/img]
You will want to be connected the same way and You don't need an XBL account on your Jtag so you can have the ethernet cable plugged in all the time as you cant get banned for it.
So now we have the files, got the setup? lets move on.[/spoil]
Loading the game and starting the lobby
[spoil]First off lets get the stock console sorted, all you need to do is sign into XBL with the account you want to get to 10th on and go into System-link and click Join game and just leave it there while we set up the Jtag console.
Now for the jtag console you need to go back to the ModernWarfare2 folder and press A on the defaut_mp.xex file to load into multiplayer
[img]http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/1748/0408123918.png[/img]
if asked to sign in select your XBL account (can be any account what is gold or silver but NOT the same GT as the one on the stock console.need to go into the system link menu, and select create a game, now if you have an account signed in you can plug the ethernet cable back in.
in game set up you need to select XBOX LIVE UNLOCKS or this will do nothing to your XBL account on the stock console
[img]http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/410/63624526.png[/img]
Now you are ready to host.
Right, you need to make sure that your stock console joins the game before it fully loads on your Jtag console or it will not be able to join and just crash the console - This is because the dvar what makes it think it is an online game wont allow a system link join when the host has spawned.
[img]http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3918/71591359.png[/img]
once your stock console is in you will notice the XP bar at the bottom is full already. Thats it, your up to 70 on your existing rank.
Now just back out and go to barracks and enter prestige mode then RESTART the game because you cant join back in as it will crash and repeat the previous steps until you are at the prestige you want to be at. When you are you can press D-Pad Left to increase your K/D ect and Dpad-Up to unlock all titles, emblems and challenges (yes pro perks and cammos as well) you have to wait 15 seconds for the challenges to load but you will get a pop up when there done.
Now to finish off, you will notice in the leader board's you are still your old rank. To sort this out all you have to do is join an online game so that your data can sync with the COD servers and shazam, you are done!

FAQ - Added because of basic problems people are having problems
Q. When i boot the Default_mp.xex i get a black screen
A. Check the Patch_mp.ff size, it should be 233KB or around that. if it isn't thats the problem. Download a fresh copy, your's got corrupted somewhere
Q. When do i connect my ethernet cable to my jtag Xbox?
A. Do it before you start your game (in menu) this it just to ensure you dont connect to XBL accidentally.
Q. Can i use two wireless networking adaptors?
A. Yes you can but it is easier to accidentally sign into XBL on your jtag.
Q. Cant i connect the 2 consoles directly with only one cable or AD-HOC mode?
A. NO! You need to be able to sign your stock console to XBL. A direct link from console to console has no way of connecting your stock box to XBL
Q. Can i change your patch?
A. Yes but please give credit if you post somewhere else.
Q. Does this only get my offline account up to 10Th?
A. Nope, Theres a DVAR called "Onlinegame" in it what makes system-link matches XBL ones if you have XBL unlocks on.
Q. xPort 360 or other programs don't work. HELP?
A. Make sure you have .Net Framework 3.5 Installed. This usually fixes most problems
Q. Do i really need an XBL account on my jtag?
A. No, my mistake but i cba to edit the rest of the post. :P - Changed now.
Q. My path_mp.ff is 233KB and i still get a black screen. HELP?
A. If you put the latest TU into the $TitleUpdate or the cache folder DELETE IT! i never used one.
Q. Where can i download the ISO from?
A. cant give specific links but use a website called [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] or torrents.
Q. How do i use torrents?
A. Download a program called Vuse and use its search bar to search for the game. an example would be: ""Game you want""Console"iso" - Look for the one with the most seeds (will be faster).
Q. Ive tried your two black screen fix methods but still get it. HELP?
A. I have found the main cause to this... it is the fact that my patched default_mp.xex is a UK pal one... as far as i know the default_mp.xex only works with US and UK copy's of the game! so download a US or UK pal copy!
Thank's for reading and i hope this helps you, if it did please give good rep :D, if you have any questions please ask and i will do my best to help.

He clearly said he takes no credit for it, he gaves credit multiple times to Liam, from 7S.
Did you even read it or are you looking to boost posts? -.-
