a guy finally developed a replicable and simple hardware hack a few weeks ago:
https://thecybersecguru.com/news/xbox-one-hacked-boot-rom-exploit-bliss/
"To execute the Bliss hack, a user theoretically only needs:
A Raspberry Pi Pico, Teensy, or similar microcontroller.
3 to 4 wires soldered to the motherboard (tapping the eFuse channel for timing, the GPIO pin, and a DAT0 anchor).
A basic MOSFET setup to pull the North Bridge core rail to ground.
The removal of a few specific SMD capacitors beneath the board to allow the voltage drop to hit the processor cleanly.
While the glitch currently lands reliably within a minute to 30 minutes in a research environment, proper refinement of the glitch parameters by the community could see successful boot rates drop to just a few seconds."
however, as they note, basic hacked console stuff like software to load bootleg ISOs hasn't been developed yet, so, the utility of the hack is limited for now.
