the donor CB is only included for Jasper

still trying to locate a donor CB/NAND
if someone could point me in the right direction it would be very much appreciated  

also I do not really understand why I could use a donor CB with my 4571 box, but someone with 4577 wouldn't be able to do it. i guess it has to do with this zero-pairing, however I do not understand what this means (4571 is zero-paired, but 4577 is not!? and 4578 is zero-paired too and therefore I can use it? and if so why is MS leaving this door open?)

also I do not get when the CB is being updated, I updated to 13599 dash but CB doesn't change.
is there any system as to when a CB is being updated, like if u have zephyr and have 4571 and then you update to 14699 it gets updated to 4580 or something like that? is there any documentation about this?

UPDATE: finally got a donor NAND (not from here...) and with CB 4578 Xell boots instantly! Now gonna try to build the 14699 image with CB 4578...

Thanks for the feedback! Now the question is how can I do that? Without Xell I can't get the CPU key, without CPU key I cannot flash a different CB, can I? I already updated the console to official 13599 dashboard, but the CB stayed the same at 4571 - what can I do?

Hi,

I also got this 4571 CB in my Zephyr and Xell is not booting. I'm using an Xecuter Coolrunner (Zephyr.xsvf file flashed to Coolrunner).

What I did is alter the build.py and add the "[0xb74ae419,"Zephyr, version 1.9",[[0x1242,0x00,0x00]]]," line as mentioned in this thread, then flashed the generated ecc file.

What's happening is that Xell is not booting: the green Xbox front LED is blinking all the time, the Coolrunner red LED is on all the time, and every few seconds the green LED of the Coolrunner is going on for a moment (I guess this is shortly after every reset, it's always a few seconds after I can hear the fan slowing down for a moment).
This goes on and on and on forever (not just 5 times).

Now the question is: is this down to the Zephyr itself (I read that many people have issues with Zephyrs with some not glitching at all) or is it due to wrong CB or SMC (not really sure how this plays together - the SMC code is part of CB I guess? I also got this SMC version 1.9 as the original poster has).

The solder points are good in my opinion, I measured them with a multimeter.

I also wonder where to find a donor NAND in case using a 4578/4579 CB helps. Apparently there used to be a megaupload link, but the FBI got a Zephyr too and doesn't wanna share.

Update: found some 4577 CB NAND image that I think is unglitchable, however does include an 1.13 SMC that I extracted and built the ECC file with the python script, also as decribed in the first post. Flashed it but result is the same as before - endless flashing at the front of the Xbox and Coolrunner green LED on for a moment every few seconds (and ~2.5s after the fan slows down a bit). Tried for 20 minutes but no go.

So the point is that my Zephyr is probably unglitchable, right?

The shift reload thing doesn't work for me. Seems my ISP has a transparent proxy and I can't force it to reload.

I will just browse the site in a VMware machine that uses my alternate ISP as gateway then, but it would be great if in the long run a solution to rectify this issue on the server side would be found.

update: can't u just output a badass real long error message when this happens, so that the transparent proxy is forced to rather cache the real site 

I got the same issue

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 17281210 bytes) in /home/xbh360/public_html/index.php on line 26

and I can confirm this is most likely due to ISP and/or connection.

I tried on PC and 2 i-Devices via my regular cable ISP and I do get this error message then.

When I try it using my backup DSL line and the same PC it works fine however.

If I use a proxy with the cable ISP it works too.

Update: 2 people that I know that are using the same cable ISP that I am using are getting the same error message.

i'm trying to but i keep failing, the question is why. it worked in xbr3/8955 and doesn't seem to work in fb32/9199. what's the proper way to do it in fb32/9199?

please tell me more about changing the region of a game "easily".
if your suggestion is reading out the game to HDD, extracting the ISO, running xextool and then either repackaging it all or uploading the extracted files and creating a quickboot container then i do not consider that "easily", that process takes a minimum of 30 minutes per game and that's substantially more than putting a 2nd region NAND into the box that i can simply switch with the cygnos within one second.

Is there a way to change the region with freeboot with 9199? I had this working with XBR3 with 8955 changing the region from original PAL to USA on my Jasper (16M) console but every attempt I made with freeboot 0.032/9199 so far failed, always get some red lights.

The issue is that the NXE installer will not install a game from a different region (yes you can go the ISO2GOD way but...).

i had XBR3/8955 on my Jasper box with Cygnos and i had it working that i had a PAL version (original) in the cygnos NAND and a NTSC version in the xbox NAND.
now I have 9199 and freeboot 0.032 in there in PAL in both NANDs and both work (freeboot manually built from original 7371 PAL NAND).

now I tried patching the keyvault again but no go, i get different kinds of things but always got red lights when trying to boot from the NAND with NTSC in there.

first try was to just simply extract the KV from the patched-to-USA XBR NAND i had and putting it into the freeboot NAND -> no go, 2 red lights and some E.. error screen

then I tried keyvault modder on a couple of my Jasper NANDs but it said "modable: no" for all of them

then I tried opening the freeboot PAL NAND with 360 Flash Tool, patching the KV to NTSC/USA and flashing this one -> also some red lights

last attempt was to patch the original 7371 NAND and then build freeboot on top of that and then flash this one -> three red lights...

now you can say why patch region at all as i can boot anything anyway.
well: yes and no. i tried installing some USA locked game and while it DOES run from DVD the NXE installer will say "install not supported" if the region does not match
i can also use ISO2GOD of cousre, still it would be nice to be able to do a normal NXE install of games from non matching regions just in case...

anyone know why the KV patching isn't working anymore. or am i just doing something wrong and there's some different, better tool to do the job or smthg...

also it would be even better if there was a patch for freeboot that would disablle the NXE installer's region check.

hey, also want to say thanks! mine are already flashed so not much use for me now but could come in handy in the future!
well just wanted to pop in as I saw you didn't get that much feedback yet but wanted to reassure you that this is very much appreciated! 

he released the exploit now. up for the gurus to say if this is really useful as i have no clue

eh? I meant I like it!
The explorer like copy & paste functionality is a very, very poor interface choice for a file manager on the xbox with a gamepad.
Two file windows like in old NC (or mc if you only know linux) will be so much superior!

did u put xexmenu on the hdd already or are you running from cd?
the xexmenu container can neither be read nor overwritten when it's running i noticed.
also there is a problem with overwriting generally, but don't remember if this was only in xexloader or also in xexmenu.

easiest thing you can do is load xexmenu from cd and delete everything from the new hdd and copy all over in 1 go, that should work.

dual view FTW, this copy/paste crap is ridiculous...

Hi,

I'm sure we had this here a couple of times already but I couldn't find a solution with the search function.

Problem is that I put a new HDD into the box (internal), instead of 120 GB original one a 640 GB WD. I copied all files off the 120 GB onto a USB drive and then back onto the 640 GB one, all with XeXMenu.

Now all seems to be there, except the profile. There was one profile on the HDD, I found it in Content/E..../F.../E....
It seems this file wasn't copied at first (apparantly it is locked at least when signed in), but I did copy it afterwards but it didn't help -> No Profiles Found.

Then I looked here, found some post from dstruktiv saying FF... at some offset and 00... at some other offset -> the FF... were already there, the 00... not, but I put them there and copied the profile back on the new HDD -> No Profiles Found.

Then I tried running the file through ConFlagRemover -> No Profiles Found.

Also tried ConSign, although I don't see a point as the keyvault shouldn't be changed, just because I swapped the HDD, should it? However as someone here said that the newest 360 Flash Tool creates a kv.bin that is somehow wrong and that only the kv.bin from older version work I'm out of luck as this console is a Jasper and it looks like version before 0.91 it can't read a NAND Image from a Jasper...

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it, thanks.

UPDATE: strangely I copied over the original one once again, this time extracted from original 120 GB HDD with Xplorer, and now it worked, even without modifications, fuq knows why it didn't work in the first place...

already successfully tested with a couple of games

there is some thread here somewhere that explains how to run XBR on Cygnos

read this:
http://www.xboxhacker.org/index.php?topic=13540.msg94851#msg94851

you can use it with 1.03 cygnos firmware then.

you need to disable the "SWITCH" command so that you can use both NANDs (otherwise it will always switch to 2nd NAND when booting) and extract the sector with nandpro and re-insert it so that the ECC gets fixed, otherwise cygnos toolbox won't flash it.

for the 2nd NAND change your original NAND image with 360 flash tool ie change the keyvault so that it is NTSC/USA instead of PAL (or vice versa), then insert this keyvault in XBR image instead of original one with nandpro.

look in the other x360 discussion forum here, there is a thread about using the xbr patches with freeboot so that it has the same functionality. however i do not see a point running freeboot on a cygnos anymore, having a PAL & NTSC setup with XBR in the NANDs seems more useful.

yep, awesome!

also I hear some rumours that a way around the network encryption has been found and FTP can be expected soon.

here the coolest stuff would be an app on the PC that takes an ISO as input file and converts it to GOD on the fly while uploading it to the internal HDD (or USB drive) 

hmm now I tried quite a few games and so far all worked except PGR3. did anyone else try PGR3 with NXE2GOD? won't work here, also doesn't show 0/1000 achievement as the others do but instead nothing, list entry is there tho. when trying to start it says "The game could not start. Please download the game again."


UPDATING this one too:

also installed PGR3 via 7371 now and converted it wth the newer NXE2GOD v0.2 and it works fine now. dunno whether the 7371 is to thank for that or the new NXE2GOD though.
