Jtagable 360, any recent guides?

Assembler i dont mind helping you out, an opus is tenicaly a falcon so use falcon guides and files, golden rule make sure u got good nandbackups and do the points perfectly,

 

If you can I'd get the NAND-X, it will make your job 100 times easier if you have any problems. Plus it's got all of your parts to jtag it as well in the form of quick solder boards.

Once you have your nand read, all you need is fb0.20 and you'll be all set. And of coarse nand pro to read and write, or any of the GUI versions.

totaly worth buying a nand x, ive had 3 but i have done about 100 jtags. Lpt is a bitch did about 10 with that before i bought a nandx, i cant stress enought how getting good orignernal images will save u hours of pain later on, 360 flash tool is a good tool for checking your images. you can use lpt if u wanna save money but the images tend to have badblocks and you never seem get 2 images that match :/ , one u got the images its just a question of writing xell or xellous to the nand to get the cpu key, then using a tool like easy freeboot to make a rebooter image for the console. hope this helps pm me if you get stuck

 

If you are decent at soldering and only doing the 1 jtag and have an lpt port and alot of time on your hands for dumping, I wouldnt suggest nandx, I would suggest just making the lpt cable, mine have always worked fine. If those dont apply to you nandx is a great tool.

IF you go with LPT and plan on doing multiple 360s, there is a nifty tutorial on xbox-scene I used, that essentially attaches the points to an ethernet cable, then a seperate ethernet cable that attaches to the LPT portion, so you dont have to remake lpt cables every time. That tutorial is here

 

Lpt is very slow though 50mins per dump and if u have to reflash the board it can take for ever to resolder the points to the board so a nand x is the easy option and u can read or write within 3mins if i remember right, i remember spending 2 weeks trying to get a clean jasper 512image over lpt 22hours per dump that was fun,

 

Only ever took me 40 min to read each dump...either way thats why one of the criteria was extra time

 

I did LPT once and not only is it godawful slow but my dump didn't seem complete. I made 5 and didn't get any to compare properly until a util was released that compared multiple nand dumps and combined sections that were the same across several.

ASSEMbler if you're interested I've got a "360 Nand flasher" (linky: http://www.vgcrepairs.biz/zen_store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_68&products_id=419 )I haven't used in some time. One of the pieces you solder down into the system has been destroyed from overuse but its easily replaced by soldering your own resistors and diodes into the board.

In the above picture you'd solder this destroyed piece to J2D2. I have the wires for it and the PCB portion but it doesn't have some of the quicksolder pads anymore. Easily bypassed as the rest of the thing is 100% in good shape.

Point is I'd let you have it for a Hamilton+shipping. It dumps ridiculously fast and anything newer seems to be mostly pointless.

 

I never had a problem using LPT,always had matching nands.

 

...Just make sure you go AUD_Clamp everytime

1x NANDX
2x 10K ohm ¼ watt resistors
2x 2N3904 Transistors
30AWG Kynar wire
3/64" Heat Shrink Tubing
...And a brain.

Simple.

 

http://www.jtag.xbox-experts.com amazing site and great tuts

 

just finished writing up a tuts will be posting it in about 5mins after my mate proof ready my terible spelling and grammer

 

sent you a PM assembler, if your system is old enough to run King Kong shader exploit you can skip wiring LPT entirely and use the shader exploit to both dump your nand and reflash it, leaving you only having to wire the JTAG points

 

Ohh this. Little known fact that you can tsop flash a 360 like in the old xbox days.

I can provide you with a ppf for the hacked kk.

 

I actually did my Xenon the way I mentioned. It is just rarely applicable to anyone at this point (I intentionally had a KK exploitable system sitting in my closet waiting for the day the hack matured), since most jtaggable boxes are patched past KK exploit. Assembler didn't state his dash version on the box but given the age it certainly seems possible he's on an old enough version. I used a combination of an updated XELL with the Debian live cd if I recall correctly. Part of me wants to say that I also used dump32 rather than the built in nand dumper the debian distro used, but I could be mistaken, it has been awhile. I've still got the ISO I built for the task, if you want it Assembler lmk I could upload it.

 

The Hypervisor exploit only works on Xbox Kernel version 4532 and 4548, doubt his system is that far back

 

edit: actually, 4+ years is probably an exaggeration if he does have a Falcon, by the time Falcons were arriving KK exploit was patched I believe

 

KK exploit was patched by falcon, prototype zephyrs can run the KK exploit as they could run 45xx dash. i really doute it has 45xx dash on it, as the patch for it was released in feb 2007

 

And you can wire in an adapter to pop in an xD card as a sort of modchip.
