Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I had updated my tutorial so I came out with a new version. This version will help you get the new recommended wiring installed right from the start. With this tutorial there is no need to install XBR and then freeBOOT, just follow the instructions and you'll have freeBOOT running before you know it. For flashing, XeLLous is used and bad blocks should be remapped correctly since freeBOOT is signed with your CPU key.

Anyhow best of luck, any question, concerns or comments please feel free to leave a reply.

Oh yeah here it is by the way.

I think it is funny that no one has said THANKS yet


thanks

Step 2   part   i   reads

"nandpro lpt: -r3 c3.bin"



Shouldn't that read

"nandpro lpt: -r2 c3.bin"


I'd also like to point out this alternative diagram for the JTAG points for non Xenon boards. Not my doing and props to the original creator.

Otherwise it looks good. Thanks!

Thank you for the reply will update the r3 part, those points will not work with this tutorial. This tutorial uses the smc patches, and AUD_CLAMP soldering from the get go to avoid E79 on Zephyrs and weird issues for other consoles.

Tut has been updated.

Hello, I am noob, first time jtag my xenon mb.
I have gone to step 8, i have a problem now.
When come to 38% It said "your dump has not been properly extracted. The reason is unknown.

Should I go from step1 again? i have you used nandpro2d for reading. but when come to step 6"i" i have a problem then I used nandpro2b. The nand dump for C1.bin I have earlier from nandpro2d, I just copy to folder nandpro2b, is the one creating problem?
I have compare c1.bin c2.bin and c3.bin KV.bin, KV2.bin and KV3.bin with fc at dos prompt, which no different or error at all.

Size of C1.bin= 2.06mb, kv.bin= 16.5KB, free60.bin= 1.28mb, fullnand1.bin= 16.5mb

What did I do wrong? Could you please let me know.

Thanks you.

It's all fine just keep clicking until it does not give the error, and make sure you have type the CPU key correctly. I experienced this issue using windows 7, not with XP it seems to be all about timing as described in my note. If all your files match then your are good. Just try and hit generate a couple of times, trying different timing for the responses, or use an xp machine for that part. I know it's weird.

Please refer to the following note in the tutorial.

For Windows 7, you might need to hit “Generate freeBOOT”, a couple of times before the ToolBox actually does it’s job, I find running it as Administrator and Compatibility Windows 98/Me mode helps, also you might want to press the space bar a couple of times while you have the curson on the “CPU Key:” box. It might be a timing issue I am not sure, hopefully this is fixed in the next release.

Thank you for answering my problem.
I was using XP.
I tired win7 and problem, are the same.
When the error showed up, it freeze. I don't even can click it again. With XP, The process stop at 25% then error. With win7 process stop at 38% then error.
CPU key I got it from the first time I use modzilla and http to the console. I have match it with my TV screen. It match.
Any idea?

Download this freeboot.

unzip,

download this http://downloads.sou....9.8h-1-bin.zip  . (Copy bin/libeay32.dll from the RAR into the same directory as as the folder you unzipped above)

run the following command

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


replace cpu key with your key, and 1bl key with the 1bl key do not include the brackets and report back.

[krizalid]

I like it, pretty straight forward.

I think I might update build_xellous to support all new smc with bugfix and patching options to make this tutorial even easier and more robust.

[Looouky]

Yeah that would be sweet.

Hello Looouky,
After I download both files above. I extract "m4-1.4.14-1-doc.zip", you mention about  Copy bin/libeay32.dll from the RAR  I don't see it, What i saw after extract are 4 folders which is 1. doc folder, 2. info folder 3. main folder, 4. manifest folder.  I have tried opening the folder one by one but I don't see it
Please point me again, Thank you.

[Looouky]

download libeay32 from here also make sure that when you are running toolbox, that you point the program to fullnand1.bin, and that it is the 16mb file you pointed out. 6i is fine that you used nandpro 2.0b did you do step 7d?? if not that might be you issue.

Yes, I did step 7d and I alos point it to fullnand1.bin then generate but stop at 38%
I also have two question:

1 smc_io.exe should I put in the folder xenon, skip step 6f & g and step 6h copy all the xenon files plus smc_io.exe into the data folder.

2. for the KV I dump on step 6L three times and compare it all re the same using fc on dos prompt. KV size is 17kb but when I use modzilla download from the system on the screen it said key vault the result is 16kb.
Is there something wrong with it? or this is normal?

I will download libeay32 and try it later. I will report the result to you.

If I screw up in this, canyou please tell me what should I do next.

Again thank you  for your help.

Edit: I just tried it with this command ibuild.exe x -d temp\ -p [cpu key] -b [1bl key] 7371.bin
and it said Error: file "7371.bin" could not be opened
Error : I/O error

1. XENON really don't need smc_io at all, it's more for Zephyrs and up.

2. KV as you described seems good, the one from firefox depending on the version you got might not be the same type of dump so yes it is normal. It's a +r dump from nandpro = firefox.


3. rename fullnand1.bin to 7371.bin and copy it into the folder where ibuild is found.

it's no problem, the errors are you usually a small miss step, the problem is just finding it. also just to let you know it's really hard to really screw up xenons, they can run any nandbackup worst case scenario i can send you one of my backups. email me later and i might be able to help you more directly.

I have done it. but I got error it said:
Error: reading extends past the end of file
Error: Unhandled exception.
I check three times for CPU key and 1BL, and not missing any number.
I noticed it created temp folder in it and there is 7 bin in there. cb_1903.bin=37kb, cd_1888.bin=22kb, ce_1888.bin=345kb, cf_7363.bin=18kb, kv.bin=16kb, smc.bin=12kb, smc_config.bin=16kb

Please point me what is wrong?
Thank you
