Sorry I don't think you understanded me for the usb flashing part I meant if there was a specfic flash drive I should use (I know iprep is the software I need)?

Example (just example, I don't if this is a good one for 360 flashing):

Also can you tell me exactly what tools I need, each tutorial for some reason claims something Anandtech claims t6, t7, t12, while others claim all I need is a t10?

Can anyone help me out of this confusion?

all you need is a t10, and a 'key' to unlock the back of the case, i made mine from the plastic casing of a spindle of dvds.

Also can anyone recommend a place to buy the Xecuter unlock kit (I don't want to take the chance of breaking my console by making one myself)?
