                                    [v0.03 - coded by ikari]



I.  Introduction
================

   freeBOOT is a rebooter for the Microsoft Xbox 360. This version of freeBOOT
   allows you to reboot into kernel 2.0.9199 on all Xenon, Zephyr, Falcon, and
   Jasper consoles, which are vulnerable to the JTAG hack.

   This version of freeBOOT no longer requires a second flash memory and will
   thus work with all currently existing solutions.



II. Bug Fixes
=============

   none



III. New Features
=================

   - updated to kernel 2.0.9199

   - now supports all consoles and flashing solutions (ikari)

   - removed memory protections (cOz)

     Code can be executed and modified anywhere in the range from 0x80000000
     to 0x9FFFFFFF. This can be used to create game trainers and will allow
     for porting of emulators, which rely on dynamic compilation.

   - encrypted DevKit XEXes are now working (cOz)

   - includes dash launch patch (cOz)

   - keyvault and console signature checks have been disabled (Bliep4Ever)

   - LIVE/PIRS/GOD content fully working (cOz)

   - internal security breach reports deactivated (Redline99)

   - easier image generation process (ikari)

   - ibuild can now also generate single flash XeLL and original images (ikari)



IV. Instructions
================

   In contrast to previous freeBOOT releases, the image generation process has
   been made a lot easier. As prerequisites you will need an image of your
   console updated to kernel 2.0.7371 and an archive "9199.zip" available
   at the usual places.

   1. Extract your original image

      Extract your original 7371 image with the following command:

      > ibuild.exe x -d temp\ -p <cpu key> -b <1bl key> .\7371.bin

   2. Extract "9199.zip" archive

      Extract the contents of the "9199.zip" archive into the "data"
      directory.

   3. Copy these files from "temp" to "data" directory

      - crl.bin
      - crl.bin.meta
      - extended.bin
      - extended.bin.meta
      - kv.bin
      - odd.bin
      - odd.bin.meta
      - secdata.bin
      - secdata.bin.meta
      - smc_config.bin

  4. Patch SMC

     Put a patched "smc.bin" in the "data" directory. For Cygnos360, a
     patched SMC can be created with their software. There's also a
     collection of patched SMCs available at the usual places. Make sure
     to pick the right one for your console.

     For other solutions, a patched SMC can be extracted from previously
     released XeLL images.

  5. Create the freeBOOT image

     Finally, create your freeBOOT image with this command:

     > ibuild.exe c freeBOOT -c <console> -d data\ -p <cpu key>
         -b <1bl key> .\bin\image.bin .\bin\fuses.bin

     Replace <console> with either "xenon", "zephyr", "falcon", "jasper",
     "jasper256" or "jasper512".



VII. Credits
============

     Thanks a lot to [cOz] and Bliep4Ever for providing most of the new
     patches in this release. Without their support, this would not have been
     possible.

Does it mean that we can use it on a XBox360 without Cygnos? In other words, write it directly to XBox360's NAND?

[thethinker360]

you also didnt need a cygnos from freeboot 0.02. there, also an XD card mod was possible. besides, ikari was one of the early testers of cygnos360 V2 and simply used it as a development platform. it was simply because ikari used xell on one and the hacked kernel on the other nand. easier to debug...

this works on single nands, no matter what you flash it with. the cool thing is, I can have XBR on one and freeboot on my other NAND (I am using a Cygnos360 V2) now Dual NAND comes handy again ;-)

cool!

[LiarInGlass]

Is there going to be a better tutorial for installing this? The info is all out of whack..

Also, would it be as simple for me as flashing back my original NAND then updating it to 7371 then doing this?

What purpose is it that it needs to have 7371..?

[thethinker360]

@liar in a glass: i see 2 command lines here... you call that hard LOL

you DONT update. this is a rebooter man...

He needs to reflash to stock first. Then update to 7371. Then dump it and build the freeboot image.

You took my post wrong. Did I say anywhere that it was hard? I asked if there was a better tutorial because it was all out of whack when I saw it. It seems to be in line now. Jeez.

And yes, I do have to update, since my original NAND is 6690. Not everyone just magically has their original NAND at 7371. I simply asked a question and thanks to the person above, they actually gave me a real answer.

Thanks.

[thethinker360]

my apologies, i got you wrong then.

i am sure someone will write a tutorial, but this seems to be rather easy to do. some copy paste and off you go. does it say explicitly that you need the 7371 ? i think the parts he takes out just picks up some console related stuff like secdata? should work with other pre 8xxx as well or am i wrong?

what he doesnt mention, on the Cygnos toolbox you can (either when using XBR or a freeboot version) open the DVD drive when booting, which will load xell instead of XBR/freeboot (yes they use the same basis) and when you leave the cygnos plugged in, the CPU key is automatically displayed in the toolbox! you dont have to write it off the screen or anything! that comes very handy if you forget to write down your CPU key and need it for candy like this release

It is definitely easy follow. I only asked because for some reason when I first saw this not everything was visible like it is now. I don't know if it was my browser or what, but it made no sense to me at all.

Now all is well. My apologies.

I really am not sure, but if someone could find out I would love to know since I really don't want to flash back to my original and then update it and then go from there. I'd prefer to just go from my original nand if I'm able to, but if not it's fine.

does it have to be updated to the 7371 dash to compile this?


**EDIT** I didnt realize the question was already asked.  lol.  sorry about that.  I didn't refresh my browser.
