I'd strongly recommend using the methods under the System.IO namespace instead of using old VB references.

It's as simple as:

File.WriteAllBytes(path, data)
File.WriteAllText(path, stringData)

byte[] data = File.ReadAllBytes(path); //C#
Dim data as Byte() = File.ReadAllBytes(path) 'VB

string stringData = File.ReadAllText(path) //C#
Dim stringData as String = File.ReadAllText(path) 'VB

You most likely won't find anything in the xam.xex worth using, most of the stuff in there is content-related. Not much security apart from basic verification.

I've found the kernel version in both the Hypervisor header and the xboxkrnl.exe (first export). But even changing those won't be enough, they aren't going to let a simple version change allow you on to LIVE.

In all honesty, you're out of your depth on this one. Microsoft have an excellent research and development team, they aren't going to make such stupid mistakes like this.

Edt: I just googled that post and it brought me to TTG.. don't believe any technical "research" from kiddie sites like those. Most of them are just BSing to whore attention.
