I want to get involved in the 360 homebrew scene (for now I just need to get my feet wet). I'm working on acquiring some older, non-updated boxes to use for homebrew once the scene's efforts reach fruition, so I'll have the hardware for anything related to 360 homebrew.

While I'm quite quick in picking up things when it comes to technology, I'm having issues finding where to start in this area as hardware hasn't been my expertise in the past. I'm slowly working my way through the Free60 wiki pages (JTAG info and such), but I'm not sure if I'm missing anything along the way or if there are any other resources that would be useful to me.

Any advice?

I second that. I'm also very interested to the modding world. Keep me updated! If anyone is interested or already developing firmwares/homebrews and need a hand, let me know. I have some software devevelopemnt experience and can lend a hand. I'm also looking towards knowing more about hardware.

Darn it, just need that Killer App. XBMC360....where art thou? Where are all the legends from Xbox1 days like xport, the avalaunch team, evox, etc etc. Lets do this!

Iam getting conflicting images for the falcon board,the original post here

http://www.xbox-scen...kpyLkykckSS.php

shows the following wire setup

SMC-JTAG Hack Wiring
DB1F1 ---|<|--- J2D2.1
RFUnit 2nd row, 2nd Pin ---|<|---- J2D2.2
J2D2.4 --------- J2D2.7

but the wiring in this post shows that the j2d2.2 pin goes to the underside of the board not the front of the 360 by the rod lights. As well as the jdd2.1 ping goes differnetly as well.

I think iam just a bit confused as to what to go by, so just to confirm, if I have a falcon motherboard, I can use all the points on this posts , including lpt pins and all not just the jtag area and all will work?

Any help would be appreciated as to which guide for a falcon to go by, this post seems to make sense but I need to confirm before I actually roll this out.

Thanks

Does anyone have the diagram to wire a USB Nand Dumper as my computer does not have an LPT port?

May I ask:

If I only wanted to back up/write to my NAND chip data, would I only need to wire up the SPI part? And to clarify, if I did not want to Xell hack it, would I still be able to retrieve the data on my NAND chip with the lastest NXE update? I would like to back up my NAND before I actually get banned. I don't want to be HDD crippled.

Would the JTAG wiring only be necessary for the Xell hack?

Are these the correct procedures?
1) Wire up the SPI section.
2) Connect parallel cable to PC with PortIO and NandPro
3) nandpro lpt: -r256 nand.bin (read: assuming I had the 256mb chip)
4) nandpro lpt: -w256 nand.bin (write back the read data IF I am banned)

let me know if I'm forgetting something or got the command wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, that's it. I'd suggest reading it twice and comparing dumps to ensure you have a good dump of it. If you can't get a good dump, you may want a USB SPI flasher, then (much faster).

How is it MS can rewrite the nand over an internet connection but we can't using same method / hardware?

This is only possible on consoles that haven't been on live since 8-10-09, where manufactured before 6-19-09 and have pre 849x dash.

Since the manufacture date of my arcade is 8-8-09, does that mean that the JTAG hack for me is not possible due to the motherboard? My dashboard is pre-849x. I don't want to open my system if I can't run the JTAG hack. Any help?

There are several solder points you can use, the best ones are on the bottom, but require you to fully disassemble your 360. If you can solder pretty good, then use only the topside points.
2 are inside your xbox and 1 is on the rol board outside.

I used this diagram:

Pieces needed:
Olimex LPC-H2148

LPC Serial Port Programmer

Maybe usb and serial cables if you dont already have them.

wiring the lpc programmer to the lpc-h2148 to flash the .hex file included with nandpro 2.0b:

This dumped my 512mb jasper nand in about 60 minutes.

Microsoft updated the CB on new consoles to 6750 and that means no jtag hack. If you want to know for sure you have to open it up, but 99% chance you cant use the jtag hack on that 360 (yet).

sweet! man I have been waiting for this since i first heard about the jtag hack. Time for me to start researching. But maybe someone could give a helping hand. So from just keeping up with news I remember that there was something called freeboot that would load xell then reboot into the summer 09 update. Not sure how that works.
So here is my question. I have a jasper 256MB nand board. I want to install xell on it, but I also want to be able to install new dash's so i can play the new games. I think that this is what freeboot can achieve. What do I need to be able to do this? Do I need to buy additional hardware?
I'm not interested in LIVE, I never use it, but I would like to be able to dual boot xell and the official dash.
Can't wait to get cracking at this.
Thanks

Freeboot exists, but does not work on jasper consoles yet.

They are still working on it, but on xenon and falcon consoles it is running nicely.
And yes, it will give you this dual boot option (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

So far freeboot requires the cygnos chip because you need to install 2 dashboards and that wont fit on one 16mb nand chip.
But I think 256/512mb nand jasper owners wont need to worry, there is plenty of space on the nand for another dashboard, so i suggest not buying the cygnos chip.

Your best option is to just wait, or install the jtag exploit and then wait (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Also i cannot run any homebrew except linux at the moment on my jasper console (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Something to do with libxenon not supporting the jasper video chipset yet.

Real modding, not that cheap FW stuff.
Lucky for me, I may have a box eligible for this hack, I just need the junk that will allow me to do it.

lenselijertje

The wiring diagram for the usb interface that you posted, was that not points only for the Xenon board? I thought the points were different on Jasper?

On the jaspers we can boot xell on, wouldn't this allow us to get the dvd keys for the new drives out there that we cant read? if so has anyone tried it yet ?

I did the same thing with an opus that came back from repair. It worked for me but I used a spare drive. I didn't want to flash the new liteon.
