Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One S/X Schematics leaked
What appears to be the schematics for the Xbox One (S and X models), and, possibly more damaging, the schematics for the Xbox Series S/X, Microsoft’s most recent consoles, have leaked online.
The documents cover only specific revisions, but seem to be fairly recent.
They reference the consoles as follows, using internal project codenames:
Xbox OneS
- PCB assembly Kief Retail (24/04/2018)
- Kingston (18/01/2016) rev 1.01
Xbox One X
- Cactus (20/04/2017) rev 0.991
Xbox Series S
- Stockton (25/06/2019) rev 0.12
Xbox Series X
- Toledo SB (12/08/2019) rev 1.04
- Toledo SoC (05/11/2018) rev 1.03
These schematics could possibly be used by unofficial repair shops for console maintenance, or possibly by hardware tinkerers looking to reverse engineer some aspects of Microsoft’s consoles. It is a bit unclear how much damage this could cause to Microsoft down the line, but there is no doubt that these files where not intended for public consumption.
A word of advice if you are a reverse engineer though: depending on your situation, and where you live, accessing this kind of information could breach any concept of clean-room design for you or your team, putting your project at legal risk. It is advised you do not try to fetch these documents unless you really know what you’re doing (from a legal perspective).
No download links here, for obvious reasons.

Honestly, I wouldn’t jailbreak my Series X even if I could. My backlog with Game Pass is huge, and I use Microsoft Rewards to buy DLCs, expansions and games that are not on Game Pass, when they’re on sale. I’m honestly more interested in a jailbroken Switch OLED, I hope we see progress on that front.
Good thing you don’t need a jailbreak. Dev mode allows you to sideload any homebrew you want, and you can get RetroArch and other game ports for retail mode too with 0 ban risk as they’re certified on the MS Store.
Dev mode only works now if you are active and make apps for the store. They will revoke your dev membership after a while with no activity on the store. Happened to me I wasn’t upset that is why I still have the vita.
There are mod chips for oled, slim, mariko models.
Fiiiiiiirst
It wouldn’t surprise me if it got leaked due to employee resentment given the union busting spree these days
Any chance of this potentially leading to a One S hack? Mines being used as a glorified bluray player atm
You don’t even need dev mode to play older game backups these days since now you can download and install apps that run in game mode from the edge browser. Plus as was mentioned above, there’s no need to jb with game pass being so great and I trust ms enough to actually buy some games because I support the system and ms for never banning my jb Xbox 360 nor any of my accounts.
