Yo bros,
It's been a while, eh? I just got home from Fort McMurray this past Friday morning, so I have a bit of time to do a few projects. The two on display today are installing Android on an iPhone via the iDroid Project, and fixing an Xbox 360 E74 error. Hardware for both was provided by a friend. Let's just say his name is Andy.
The iDroid bit was very straightforward. There really isn't anything to say about it except that I can't wait for it to come to later iPhones. It's still really chalky and laggy on the iPhone 3G, but the mere fact that it works is amazing. Here is a shot of "Andy's" iPhone 3G.
I'm following @iDroidProject on Twitter, and they seem to be making a lot of progress. It's cool, but not usable for me at the moment.
Next up is the Xbox 360 E74 error. The basic premise is that the graphics processor unit (GPU) is overheating, so you need to fix the heatsinking situation. Typically, you have to undo it all and put on some new heatsink compound on the GPU. I didn't take any pictures of this fix, but I will recommend the resources that helped me fix it. There are a lot of garbage videos and tutorials out there, but I found these to be top notch.
It's still to be seen whether this will actually fix the Xbox or not, but at the very least, these are the steps I took to fix it. Maybe they will help you.
