I know hacking these consoles is kinda pointless for most of people due to the dev mode and that microsoft has made a huge effort to ensure that its systems are well secured, but has anything ever been done in terms of hardmodding? Dumping and writing nands, decrypting keys, that general fun stuff we used to do in the 360 era.
I ask because I've seen groups engaged on jailbreaking the ps4/5, but I'm not really sure where the xbox scene stands right now. I saw that a xOne nand dump was made, but has anything been done past that?

Thanks for the attention!

Not very much at the minute. Dev mode is about enough we can get.

Pretty much nothing. The modern Xbox security system held up for literally 10 years.

Current research is mostly based on leaked devkits and unprogrammed blank SoC chips, we barely know how it works beneath the surface, not to mention designing a method that will work on retail systems and persist through updates.

Are you referring to unfused chips? I'd love to read about that if you have a link.
