IMPORTANT: Make sure you always start this guide with STEP1
If there's a test that gives a wrong result on your xbox , please contact us asap so we can update this page. Thx.

 

Serial Numbers (v1.2 - v1.3)

There's no perfect method to see the difference between a v1.2 and v1.3.
We do know that all PAL Special Edition translucent green xbox consoles (this is NOT the same as the NTSC Special Edition Halo Xbox) are still v1.2.

If you have a normal black xbox, try the serial# check in STEP3 on xbox-linux.sf.net to see if you have a v1.2 or v1.3
