Free60 JTAG/SMC XeLL Hack for Zephyr Motherboards

After the release of the hack for Xenon and Falcon motherboards, today we get the Free60 JTAG/SMC XeLL Hack for Zephyr (v2) motherboards! This NAND image will boot your Zephyr Xbox360 right into XeLL (which allows you to launch linux distros or run libxenon homebrew software).

From the readme/nfo:

Quote

Finally the Zephyr JTAG Hack is here
This is XELL (compiled 11.09.09) inserted into 4558 Zephyr-Kernel.
!Fixed Version! USB Support was broken

Don't wonder about the Filesize, its correct like that. It just flashes the beginning of the NAND so your console specific data like MAC adress will stay.

Of course you should have a working backup of your NAND before you proceed.

Just flash with:
LPT
nandpro lpt: -w16 zephyr_hack_updxell.bin 0
USB
nandpro usb: -w16 zephyr_hack_updxell.bin 0

wow that was quick, now pretty much everybody can run this stuff.. sweet deal.

hopefully now since a lot more people can run this.. the Linux side will be complete sound/gpu accelerated graphics etc.

they already have core gpu functionality and now rudimentary sound support just need to meld them together and were golden...
this is really starting to ramp up and the possibilities are now endless, I'm excited!

so does this only work in vga too?

now they just have to get past the most recent updates fix. Then i'll buy a dual kernel mod and be on my way to an HD XBMC. Hope they're working on 1 or both

Running XBMC on 360 is a wet dream...

Amazing!

Does anyone know if this could possibly lead to a break for people that don't have the keys from a busted DVD drive?

now that this hack is open to a much wider audience, i hope the busted install scripts on free60 get fixed.
Currently only the debian etch script still works.

Yes you can retrieve your DVD key by running the exploit and doing a bit of work.

but it would be hard to find an original copy of king kong, or is that only for the linux part?

I don't think you need king kong anymore dude seeing as it wont work with Xell anyway, but I think they have linux cd's that will work with it now.

Grim187 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2009, 09:05:00 PM »

xell gives you your cpu key when it boots, so all thats needed for dvdkey recovery is your original nand, xell booting on the motherboard and 360 flash tool to read out your dvdkey.

So only Opus and Jasper boards left right? This is awesome!
