Got an e-mail.. the shadow complex beta disabled the fans on my test kit. Now the console boots and after 5 minutes or so it crashes and two red lights appear and the fans then turn on and go full speed to cool it down.I know there is a program that allows the user to edit the fan speeds but I haven't been able to find it.
yes same hapend to me and itchy theres a fan app that can fix it the files are legit but the xex is a modified version of the fan speed tool the fan app as far as i know was in the dev_tools leaked on sky (not positive)
Wow that's lame that someone would actually inflict this upon others.. =/ Hopefully a fix is found for you guys. And thanks for the heads up, not that I'd download anything like that anyways.
Thanks, yea i guess it was dumb downloading it but a few people told me it was legit so, yes i guess im gullible, but i didnt expect anybody from the scene would be that heartless
Sadly stuff like this has always been around. Even back in the day when people were trading floppies on the PC, you'd hear about the guy who got a virus or a trojan from something he downloaded or the fake program that did nothing more than wipe your hard drive's partition table. In short, there are always assholes out there. On the upside, be glad it was just a fan issue that could be recovered. Given that accessing the flash is trivial on a kit, if someone really wanted to cause damage they could easily whip up an app that blanked the flash and completely hosed your kit. -hl718
g:\coding\xbox360\source\FanSpeed\Release\FanSpeed.pdb [XAPI RETURN VALUE] %d ( n u l l ) (null) New GPU Fan Speed: %ú%% Error setting GPU fan speed New CPU Fan Speed: %ú%% Error setting CPU fan speed Old GPU Fan Speed: %d%% Old GPU Fan Speed: Auto Error getting GPU fan speed Old CPU Fan Speed: %d%% Old CPU Fan Speed: Auto Error getting CPU fan speed Fan Speed Tool v1.0 - xorloser Got this out of the xex, i dont think xorloser would do anything like this it just dosent seem to fit him, but then again this is a mod of his program
Fix coming Ok, i`ve been looking at that xex file and found some pretty interesting things, anyway the fan speed for the CPU and GPU is changed to 100 once the xex is ran which stops the fans. will i`m going to try changing this to a higher number for example 200 so the fans will start, this will be reversing the effect of the bad xex file. If that doesn`t work I have a few other things on my mind that may get it to work. I`ll let you guys know if I get it to work or not. What might work: New GPU Fan Speed: %d%% //The d in that is 64 in hex and I converted that to a decimal and it is 100 so what I did is chanced the 64 to C8 which converted into a decimal is 200, I also did the same to the CPU settings. So if i`m correct this should make the fans start working. also I don`t know why, but the old CPU and GPU speed was set to 100 in the hex also, I`ll probably figure out why later. And also xorloser would not do such a thing, it was someone else who had the fan speed tool and decided to do a horrible thing.
I'm guessing you've never coded in C++ or C, seeing as you have no clue what %d is.. Keep it up and I'd expect to see more kits broken than fixed.. If I were you I just wouldn't bother..
I`ve coded in C# and learning C++, but that`s not what I was saying in my reply... I was saying I wanted to try to reverse what happens with the xex by simply modifying it, not programming a new xex because at the moment, I do not acquire the knowledge or making my own xex yet, but in time I will.
Ok, only the letter and or symbol in between the % is a number when converted into a decimal. Example: %d%% The d in that is equal to 100 in decimal.
Sorry, it`s a bit hard to see but I explained it in the program i`m using. For those who can`t read what the orange text says in the program will here it is: d = 64 in hex and = 100 in a decimal, I changed d to . which = C8 in hex and 200 in a decimal, so this idea might just work enough to get the fans to spin agian.
Anyone trying to potentially learn something off of ambi0 here, don't bother, he's terribly off, and doesn't understand the fact that we told him multiple times this wont work.. No offense, but it's just ignorance at it's finest.. We even corrected you and said %d isn't a value, and I told you where it's from.. And other people verified what I said, and you're still too ignorant to believe it.. I'm done here, have fun on your wild goose chase..
