A few tools have been released to help you uncripple your HDD after ban, so you don't have to do it all manually.

* FindSecData v0.4 (by boby2pc)
I wrote little program to extract secdata.bin and filetable of NAND dump.
It uses patch latest secdata.bin method (not delete method).
Changelog:
* v0.11 Fixed regional settings problem.
* v0.2 support for 256 MB and 512 MB NANDs implemented.
* v0.3 Different NAND controller support
* v0.4
- "ommit timestamp" parameter removed - this is now default
- added parameter to show more recomendations
- "recommandation" algoritm changed
- support for gaps in filesystem table version

* Secdata Scan v0.2 (by zouzzz)
Secdata Scan is a small utility that will save you manually open your NAND dump to find the address to hex edit to restore the functionality of the hdd after a ban.
Once you load your nand image in Secdata, it will show you the last secdata updated on your console and the real address of this bloc to use with with nandpro.

* 360 HDFR v1.03 (by SoulHeaven) (French)
360 Hard Disk Functinalities Restorer v1.03 will allow you to patch your nand automatically in order to restore the functionality to install games on your harddrive on a banned Xbox 360.
Does the same as Secdata Scan but with more functionality:
- Show you the real date of secdata update
- Can generate a zero filled file from your nand image for nanpro
- Can patch your nand for Cygnos v2
Note: does not work on 256/512MB NANDs yet.

Neat. Steps are now the following?

1. Extract with NandPro
2. Run secdata.bin through 360 HDFR v1.03
3. Flash fixed secdata.bin with NandPro
4. *Dance*

The alternative is a 360 that can run trusted content without borking it.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) the scene just spitted a giant stinking loogie into Microsoft's face, then shit on their face with a big kick in their asses.

I wonder how difficult it would be to remove the cygnos360 v2 from a 360, put it on a banned one to do this, and put it back to the orig one.

I havent installed my chip on my older, disconnected 360, to do XeLL, but im wondering if/when i get banned sometime after iXtreme LT comes out if i'd be able to swap the chip back and forth between my units.

Now the next topic shall be......

FindSecData vs Secdata Scan vs 360 HDFR

Can someone update the news page - this application is in French AND English! One only has to click on the appropriate flag at the bottom of the screen.

Used this tool last night and can personally vouch for it

Nice one, MS pushed it to far trying to disable fetures on a persons private property.

Hello!

can someonehelp me please ? i've a dump of mu XBOX360 NAND, so, which tool of these 3 have i to use to uncriplig automatically my hdd, please ?

If i correctly understood, i can launch 360 HDFR v1.03 and automatically modify my dump, so next i can flash my NAND with the patched dump, is it correct ?

thanks & sorry from my english

anjelika · « **Reply #14 on:** November 27, 2009, 05:41:00 AM »

Does any of the utilities also show the last timestamp for secdata.bin as if this was modified after the ban date, changing it will not help anymore (will not regain the hdd functionality)?
Thanks for the proggies;)
