another thing that could help is an engine like degraded uses to determine if the hole backup is correct
something useful to add is an option to just backup 50 first blocks and then write xell

looks like i have to many ideas
i think its because all of the problems i have encounterd while jtaging 9 xbox360s
yup
and in each one of them i had a different problem so i got plenty of suggestions
by the way in the end managed to get all 9 to run xbr

wow just noticed the tag function. That is very good for people who do the mods for others!

[Misterturtle]

This is great! Any chance you could add this into linux somehow? like two different things. The first backs up the first 50 and flashes xell. Then you run another thing from xell with a usb drive, or maybe make a cd that automatically does it all. That would be freaking amazing.

Wow!
Thank you, keep up the good work

Im gonna test this week if i dont screw up the soldering again Thx for making my life easier!

[Ranger72]

This will make it nice for those of us that do many consoles. Doing one console right now with this app.

[PleXo]

thanks for all the good feedback guys

hhd uncrippling the easy-to-use tools are already there so shouldnt be any issues with that to make it, i have made the CB checking app finished etc all tested but with 16MB nand ONLY, im not 100% sure if the values are correct to check the CB on a BB nand so cant test it out... when i get it all tested i will first be incorporating it into the current XBR Flasher so its steps will be

1. ask 3 questions regarding xbox(board revision, xboxtag/serial and usb or lpt)
2. DUMP 1 sector that holds the CB info
3. parse the cb.bin with cbchecker to find out cb version
4. depending on your board revision it will check if it is hackable
5. if found to be hackable, it will continue to do 2 dumps then compare them and extract kv/config and inject into xbr.bin(defined by which board revision you selected) and finally flash xbr

current there is NO badblock checking or correcting, i am working out how to detect this and once done il make an app for it and add it, or if anyone makes a command line app for it that doesnt require much user interaction that would be great too my file read/write skills on vb.net isnt the best i am too used to vb6 hehe...

had some good feedback from the app so far and people are mentioning of a GUI much like what JungleFlasher has for dvd firmware hacking etc, it has already been in my thought process and have been building up a GUI for it this past day, i have the CB checking app integrated into it but thats it for now, obviously i wouldnt be able to re-create my own nandpro for the app as that is far beyond my coding capabilities i think however i am looking into how i could have nandpro running along side it and somehow have a command line output within the vb.net app and be able to parse its outputs such as which sector its on etc be able to have a progress bar, UNSURE how to do this if you have any links regarding to it being done before eg either tutorials, samples, opensource apps that have what i am talking about coded in vb.net

just a little spoiler for the GUI here is the logo..




quick edit:

reading more comments i am reading people are interested in reading first 50 blocks and then flashing xell to then flash xbr i am guessing?

this would be great for LPT users...

i am busy with the cb scripting at the moment so if anyone could post a quick link to where it shows how this is done (havent done it myself) i will look into it and be able to help out making that process simpler

[evans05]

is this xell step important? cause i dont see it in the steps, just need to know cause my friend has finally got the equipptment to solder the stuff, but im reading, injecting and flashing myself lol

[PleXo]

hi m8 no its just quicker but can be a bit more complicated...

[belenos]

mine read and compared properly but when it went to write it didn't create the XBR. and didn't error or anything just said flashing done. Only knew it couldn't find XBR because of flash log. not sure why. any suggestions?

cool so all i have to do is just run the .bat on this and it will do all for me? if so your a legend

[PleXo]

yes mate

i recommend downloading Degraded and when you run the bat the steps are


1 dump nand twice
2 compare if correct it continues..
3 extracts kv and config and put it into xbr.bin
4 then it will ask to press any key to continue before it beings to flash

at this point i recommend checking your orig.bin with degraded to make sure you have no bad blocks as i dont have this check on my app just yet, if anyone has info on how this is detected etc give me a shout thanks

[evans05]

ok post edited due to my dumbness of asking a question in the readme lol. good work, thanks alot, looking forward to testing this tomorrow night. love the logo by the way

hi m8 did it create both nand dumps? did you notice any file copy errors? is there an xbr.bin in the backups folder ?

[farntheplaya]

i would be VERY interested in having a whole toolbox like gui for this program.

would make managing multiple nands very simple.

right now i have 8x2=16 full dumps in my home directory that im too lazy to organize lol
