new freeboot released runs unsigned xex's!!

[damox]

Anyone having problems getting XBReboot to run higher than 480p? In the settings it says I need to switch the AV/HDTV switch to HDTV even thou it is, it works normally on another console.
I thought it might be something to do with XBR being based on NTSC so flashed my config blocks but that didn't sort it  

I'm running a PAL XBR, and I'm getting 1080p out.

Nothing special, swapped kv with bincrypt before flashing.

you also want to copy over the config blocks

Don't know what kind of controllers you guys were utilizing, but the standard wireless controllers synced fine for me

XBR_Xenon_8955_1.rar @ xbins

XBReboot Block Layout:

Ox00 - 0x2F   4548 boot FW
0x30 - 0x3F   Backup Xell
0x40 - 0x4F   XBRfw.bin Rebooter core
0x50 - 0xBF   Patch.bin Kernel and patches
0xC0 - 0x??   Flash file system

Version: XBRfw 0.5beta Initial
The fw version need not change for any given Patch.bin

Patch.bin is what needs to change for any new patch
The following are Patch.bin versions

8955_0: Initial
Don't need xextool:
 automatically detect correct key for dev or retail xex.
Drag and drop any xex to cdr.
No specific secdata.bin or crl.bin requirements.

8955_1:
Add support for PIRS
Fixed Backup Xell

HowTo:

1) Extract KV and Config blocks from orig.bin

nandpro orig.bin: -r16 rawkv.bin 1 1
nandpro orig.bin: -r16 rawconfig.bin 3de 2


2) Inject those blocks into XBR.bin

nandpro XBR.bin: -w16 rawkv.bin 1 1
nandpro XBR.bin: -w16 rawconfig.bin 3de 2


3) Flash result


nandpro lpt: -w16 XBR.bin


Notes:

There is no need to unpack and repack pirs files!
This is a limitation of freeboot. Not XBR.
Aside from that major difference, all functionality is the same.

Individual sections can be updated or extracted seperately using nandpro.

The image can be made to work for all 16M consoles.

The standard method of using build.py can be used to change the
 4548 boot FW portion of the flash to the console type.

Generally:

Create the image as described above.
The command to rebuild it might look like this:

 build.py XBR.bin CB CD update.bin xell-1f.bin XBRfw.bin smcp.bin

Then the .ecc file result from build.py would be "flashed" back into the XBR

 nandpro XBR.bin: -w16 image_00000000.ecc

For me, I got it working properly, controllers connect, unpacked and unflagged  PIRS/CON/LIVE stuff ran properly from CD-R, an 80GB ex-PS3 HDD as drive, working properly.

But then that HDD won't detect on the tools for accessing the hard disk (of course, it's missing the HDSS.bin) but then I went and used an real XBOX360 20GB HDD for some testing and then HDDs formated on real 8599 XBOX consoles won't work with the rebooter (show as 13.9gb free) and if I format it on the rebooter console the real 8955 consoles will see the hard disk with 13.9gb free even while the rebooter console see all data installed on it. Funky. Data connectivity tools can't access disks that have ben set up or written by the rebooter dashboard, no matter if the HDD is official or not...  That kind of kept me from testing stuff I wanted to.

To install I just flashed XBR to the target console then on top of it I flashed it's original keyvault and config block, as recommended by Redline99.

Edit: Now out to test xbr rev1 lol

I got a ? is the jtag wires the issue bc i have the old 3 330 ohm wires is it better to use the switching diode and hpe for the best ?

[rkkman]

Ok I have got my nand for LPT 3X.  But I realized I havent put the diodes J2D2.1 - DB1F1, J2D2.2 - RF PANEL PIN 6 and the wire between J2D2.4 - J2D2.7.  Do I need that done to get XBRreboot working?  Do I need to do that and then read my nand again?  Thanks in advance.


Ok I found out it doesn't matter for reading the nand, so I am good there.  Do I need them to run xbreboot

Hey how did u get the game to load from the hdd.

[irishwhip]

is there a way to update with this latest release from XeLL or gentoo live?
I really don't want to be taking my box apart and resoldering the cable every time a new release hits

[damox]

Im getting confused as to if people are talking about freeboot or xbr0 or xbr1 now

EDIT: I had no problems with xbr0, but I cannot get xbr1 to work.

Black screen, time out to rrod.

Tried replacing keyvault only. And tried also replacing keyvault/config.

Both with bincrypt and nandpro.

[ddxcb]

BTW XBR-1 is for xbox with 1920 instead of 1921 u have to flash the patch part of XBR.

This worked for me.

nandpro xbr1.bin: -r16 super_patch.bin 30 90

Overwritting xbr0
0x30 - 0x3F   Backup Xell
0x40 - 0x4F   XBRfw.bin Rebooter core
0x50 - 0xBF   Patch.bin Kernel and patches

nandpro usb: -w16 super_patch.bin 30 90

Backup xell works, as does xbr.

EDIT: PIRS check removal now works. MAME for retail can now be run from the hdd.
