Well, now that a new version of freeBOOT is out, I guess this topic is now out of the question...

[Drefsab]

im very much in the no jtag online camp, id be fine if XBR4 removes live support, as long as it can go out onto the net normally for 3rd party updates, time servers etc thats all we need

You wanna go on live go get yourself a non jtag box

is it impossible to switch to freeboot, if I do not have my org. nand, and only my current xbr nand?

[theguru1]

is i would also like to know this..i have xbr3 with 8955 dash is it possible to put freeboot 9199 on it...instead using flash360?

Yep it is - you'll have to have a good read - look through the Freeboot thread here:

Have a good read, you can use the existing smc from your XBR'd 360.

I kind of blew up about the online cheating but seriously!!

 I have a technical question since this is supposed to be a technical thread.
  How exactly , not in detail , but how do the people do who are cheating use a Jtag console too mod MW2 online , they couldn't actually be using the Jtagged console too play online with mods , every single 1 i have accidentally connected to LIVE on has been banned almost right away.
  Just curious because all the people bitching about Jtaggers being online , i heard from a different forum that some people can get about an hour out of them , so i guess if your stats stay the same and you have a LIVE box that is enough to get whatever it is they are doing. I have never played MW2 only 1 and now all my 360s are Jtagged so i don't play online unless i can get a lower ping on xlink.

 And thwack good thing you pointed out the new freeBOOT people can stop whining about XBR4 already jeez. I am loving the new freeBOOT , i just like the name better to be honest haha , but i know at some point they will remove the 16gb cap on the usb drives and i'll get me a couple TB

if your system is jtagged, you can use any usb drive with a 3rd party dash

Yeah - reckon the latest batch of new release games in a month? will require the 9199 dash - seems to follow the pattern of the last few updates.

 

The migration to Freeboot isn't that bad (if you have your orig NAND dumps) - the most hassle you can come accross with it is if using XBR's smc doesn't work, therefore you can either get the smc from the freeboot channel, or update (restoring R6T3 if removed - or use a 10k ressy instead) to the dash Freeboot requires. Just set yourself aside a couple of hours and a few beers and you'll be good to go

I'm just wishing there will be some kinda patch or delay option for those of us with big 3.5" HDDs.

anyone??

 

Have a good look through the FreeBoot thread in the kernel section of the forum. Basically you don't need the original NAND dump (although your seller should have included it as standard).

What you want to do is dump the NAND (a couple of times at least, and check that the dumps match - if you haven't got LPT you want to be sticking Xellous on the XBR rather than as is likely Xell - check out Loouky's thread in the Kernel section), and follow the FreeBoot guidlines in that thread. You can extract the smc from XBR, but some people have had problems with it - so try the #freeboot channel on efnet for the hacked smc for your console.

Use that nice GUI for ibuild (again in the kernel section - put it in the same folder as ibuild), and make yourself a 9199 FreeBoot'er, flash over to the NAND with Xellous and you're away

thanks for clearing that up thwack...much appericiated
