Looouky, thank you for your help.
It works now.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
You are the best, Dude.

Great tutorial. Did a Xenon, now doing a Zephyr so this is helping. However the diagrams from this link are kind of confusing. I cannot tell if the resistors are soldered to existing parts or if they are just positioned there.

Is b at the top connected to a resistor and then to the other b along with the solder point?

Then the aud clamp i have no idea where i connect that too, it doesnt show?

The diagram the other guy posted for reverse jtag seems more simple to follow, but i wanted to use your tutorial fully so that i get everything right without having to go back.

[xboxhaxorz]

also this video tutorial helped quite a bit, it was extremely easy and didnt need me to type any commands
the video


so you ended up changing the diagrams? is that method still as stable as the original?

I can not get xellous to boot on my zephyr using this tut to the T. Using the basic jtag wiring, none of the new points. But i figured i should get xellous working before i bother with resoldering... I am on win 7. No errors
when i write, boot, boom e79. Reinstall, xell. Xell Works every time...with the random e79 once in a blue moon..

Any thoughts?

change the jtag wiring to the new transistor method.

The reverse jtag is the old method, it is no longer recommend. The diagram I posted is the new method and the recommend method. You need to solder the resistors they are not part of the xbox wiring. If you like you can still solder it all to the bottom just follow the wiring diagram, and make the necessary adjustments and use one of the alternative db1f1 points I pointed out too. I will try an upload an image of the wiring be done from the bottom. And yes both the b points ( or base from the transistors) are connected to two separate 10k resistors which are then connected to 1.8v source which would come from J2D2.4 which needs to be connected to J2D2.7. AUD_Clamp is connected to the emitter of one of the transistors, the orange line. Hope that helps.

Well this tutorial is not for the basic wiring, this tutorial is for the new recommended way of doing the jtags. The other methods provide results that are at best very unstable, this tutorial will give you stable zephyr that produces practically no e79.

[ars0n]

ahhh so, new wiring, THEN  the new flash with smc patch?

Does the new wiring NEED the smc patch? Or will the new wiring work without the patch?

Also, does anyone know of a good xell tutorial for this? like to have both options if need be..

Thanks a lot guys!!!

hi looouky, thanks for this tutorial.

this is my first time trying to jtag a 360, i just bought a brand new falcon and i'm using your new tutorial.

one step that didn't work in your tutorial was: ibuild c XeLL -c [CONSOLE] -d data\ -b [1BLKEY] xellbig.bin

i've already figured out that it was because ibuild.exe didn't exist in the folder where " Build_XeLLous v0.1.exe" extracted all of its files, so i copied over ibuild.exe from "freeBOOT-0.032.rar" and ran the command again and it worked.

now i am stuck on:
nandpro free60.bin: -w16 kv.bin 1 1
NandPro v2.0e by Tiros
Could not open Virtual Nand Device File: free60.bin
Can not continue

i've already checked and free60.bin is indeed in the directory, any ideas?

Lol for some reason a few dys ago i followed the tut but it had the reverse jtag diagrams instead of the new aud clamp diagram. Its working now, but there are any issues i will change it. For my future jtags i will use the new method. Yes the explanation made more sense, something that confused me in the diagram was the aud clamp in yellow and then the red box. I looked closer and realized that it was the same thing. Initially the yellow circle confused me cause i had no idea where it was connected too. I would suggest to remove that, the red box showed the connection which makes sense looking at it a 2nd time.

Thanks btw

just wanted to update my progress, i solved the problem by using nandpro 2.0b.

both versions 2.0d and 2.0e gives me the same error.

[prelude]

ibuild c XeLL -c [CONSOLE] -d data\ -b [1BLKEY] xellbig.bin

i tried executing the command 5 different times to see if it would produce identical xellbig.bin files. every xellbig.bin created has a different md5 hash... is this normal?

[TingedAce]

Thanks for the tutorial Looouky (did I get the right number of O's?)  

I must admit I just went with the mainstream-reverse-boxxdr-2diode-aud_clamp technique (best description I can come up with - do you think it'll catch on?) as I don't have any transistors lying around and it looks a lot more hassle.

Anyway this tutorial was just what I needed going from the old technique to the new patched smc way - great stuff, thanks.

P.S. I did notice a small thing... I don't imagine it would trip anyone up but worth mentioning in step m:
nandpro free60.bin: -w16 kv.bin 1 1
-> should be kv1.bin as in the step above it.

Yes that is normal.

Thanks I'll updated it for sure. Hmm hope it catches on, maybe an abbreviation would be good.

The new wiring as it is laid out in this tutorial needs the smc patch, this tutorial uses the wiring that has produce 99.9% reliability results. Xellous is xell, except it is an updated version. You don't need xell.

I'm in the middle of trying this tutorial... I had to skip a lot of junk because I already have a XBR'd Zephyr... So far I've never been able to get Freeboot working on any Zephyr.

Couple issues, Build Xellous kept deleting the files I needed, went to step 6e and was like wtf is this files folder? Had to run build xellous and close the prompt window before it finished to get the files.

So anyway now looking at the freeboot toolbox steps and scratching my head... there is no mention of adding my KV to complete the image anywhere in this tut... so i'm assuming I need to add this to the data folder before running toolboxmkr. Why not just use ibuid at this point or is toolbox the prg that patches the SMC, I'm a little lost about this...

I'm goint to flash the updflash bin with the 360 flash tool as the Zephyr does boot XBR half the time, after flashing I will change wiring to the transistors... I found some NPN '2222A' transistors, hope they will work. So many Zephyr tuts have failed me so I'm quite skeptical at this point.

ok, looks like it never used the KV in the data folder at all, it must have gotten the kv from the "fullNAND" image that it asks for. Because I actually wanted to used a different KV than the original bin file I had.

So the image I made toolbox maker boots up on my zephyr and it is 9199 dash so that is the most success I've had so far.

 Curious thing though... I expected it to error as this should now be SMC patched for the aud-clamp/transistor JTAG which I have not installed yet, it still has the 2 diode JTAG under the board!?
