UPDATE (4/26): It's a been a long time since I've updated this -- the replies may be outdated. However, modding the save file for this is now much easier to do (thanks to IoCaster's and Ieldra2's help). Also, I don't have an XBox, but now that save files are moddable on the console this MAY be possible on both platforms.
NOTE 1: Despite the name, this has NOTHING to do with my other thread, The Worst Possible Playthrough for Import in ME3
NOTE 2: This is not just making the other characters selectable in the squad screen and skipping their recruitment - this enables players to have ALL recruitment missions and the Reaper IFF available immediately after Freedom's Progress.
After Freedom's Progress, you may choose to:
-Fully recruit Tali, Thane, Samara or Legion before the others
-Visit Liara or Wrex with Illium auto-unlocked, and Tuchanka unlocked after recruiting Mordin
-Get the Reaper IFF, and CHOOSE when to install it
-Start a loyalty mission right after doing a single mission with the squad
The only drawback is that if you get the Reaper IFF and recruit Legion, the Collector questline will skip automatically to the Normandy invasion after recruiting 2-4 characters. I have included a fix for this in the 2nd post. This fix requires you to hex edit the file. Onto the simplified version...
---------------------------------------------------
It took a lot longer than I expected to find something so simple (and IoCaster's help has made it even simpler). To enable Recruit Any Squadmate mode, you need two things:
1. Gibbed Save Game Editor
2. Hex Editor (for Legion)
After finishing Freedom's Progress and boarding the Normandy, open the save you want to change in Gibbed's Save File Editor. Go to Plot --> Henchman --> Flags and check two boxes:
1. Miranda in alternate appearance
2. Jacob in alternate appearance
Save the file and load it up in your game. If it works, the game will automatically give you the "Retrain Powers" upgrade and unlock the ENTIRE galaxy map. If you want to recruit Legion first, you will have to hex edit the file twice -- once for disabling the IFF and once for enabling it -- as shown in the 2nd post:
If you don't want to recruit Legion until after the Disabled Collector Vessel, ignore the second post.

Enabling Horizon
**Do this right before you want to trigger Horizon**
-NOTE: This will temporarily lock you out of the rest of the galaxy map and still forces you to recruit the original 4 - Jack, Mordin, Grunt and Archangel (I may try to find a way around this eventually).
-This can be done before you finish recruiting the 4 or right after. Go to Gibbed's Save File Editor, to Plot --> Henchman --> Flags, UNCHECK Miranda's alternate appearance (keeping Jacob's checked). This locks the galaxy map again and enables the trigger for Horizon.
Enabling Disabled Collector Vessel
**Do this right before you want to trigger Disabled Collector Vessel**
So, make sure you have at least 8 squadmates and leave five missions available in order to trigger it:NOTE: According to Ieldra2:
"If you enable the Collector Ship mission, the 5-mission counter is apparently set to 0 (or rather, it is probably not used at all unless the Collector Ship mission is enabled). Which means, you must complete five missions after enabling the Collector ship mission to get it triggered."
-Go to Gibbed's Save File Editor, to Plot --> Henchman --> Flags, CHECK Miranda's alternate appearance and UNCHECK Jacob's alternate appearance. This enables the Disabled Collector Vessel mission.
After that, the game should run normally. While this isn't how the game was released, this is how the game would have been released if it were PC-only, without the required disc splitting on the console. It may require extra work, but it beats being forced to recruit Jack, Mordin, Grunt and Archangel before the rest....
