hi guys check this out thanks to havelln on a different forum for sending me a 512mb dump to play with

anyway now have CB detection integrated into XBRFlasher so now before it dumps 2 nands it will now test to see if you have a compatible CB version for the JTAG exploit

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

nope no XBR.bin was created apparently. I did however create my own and use the KV and COnfig in the backup folder to inject and write and it worked fine so it did dump and extract perfectly.

also seeing as with the CB check it detects the Board revision. couldn't you use that to select the Board instead of asking manually?

[evans05]

great work, when is the new version going to be released with the cb checker sir?

[arielzadi]

nice gui
i think that incoporating nandpro  to run in the background unseen is the solution for you
and let it output into a white box within the gui
i have plenty ideas even though i know zip in coding
and my english aint so good

[thesmj]

After reading this I believe your utility (and the firmwares downloaded elsewhere) may be able to help me revive my 360 I trashed last week. I read the NAND off twice, of which there was only one discrepancy (I think the address was C4) and tried to flash it back. Stupid, I know now, but now I am left with a 360 which will not boot - just get a red ring after about 60 seconds.

Will I be able to use the XBR_Xenon_8955_3.bin file plus my slightly corrupt BIN files to get my 360 working again? From what I gather your script just removes the key and settings from the orig.bin file and ignores the rest.

The problem is my scripting skills are rusty and I cant figure out the best way to start the script using an "orig.bin" file I provide myself to take the settings from. What would I need to comment out to get the script to skip the whole reading/verifying process and go right to extracting from orig.bin?

ok can you tell me what files you had in /firmwares/ folder??, the cbcheck doesnt detect the board revision, that is using the %con% which is the variable that is used when u select which revision you have at the start, however i am thinking of using the cb version to determine what board revision you have , seems like a quick fix for now!

please share your ideas as much as possible, it will most likely be added to the TODO list

yes you will be able to use the xbr file and your slightly corrupt bin files to get your xbox working, however is it a bad block or just a bad dump? as if its a bad block you need to manually fix this on the xbr bin file youruself!

i would edit the batch file and remove the lines where it uses nandpro to dump the nand twice

CODE

nandpro\nandpro.exe %usblpt%: -r%size% %tag%-1.bin

and

nandpro\nandpro.exe %usblpt%: -r%size% %tag%-2.bin

then i would get your orig.bin and rename it to tag-1.bin and copy it and rename your copy as tag-2.bin

tag being the tag you type in at the start of the batch script

then run xbrflash.bat and type in the answers to the 3 questions, it will then just continue as normal, thinking that the renamed orig.bin files you gave it was from the dumps that it made, will copy both to backups folder delete 1 rename the other and extract its details and patch it into the xbr.bin then flash

that SHOULD work for now

[belenos]

I have done another board and it flashed properly. I didn't move/change anything so not sure what happened.

Also is there anyway to provide an option to dump a 3rd time if first 2 don't match so that you don't have to start over? like dump tag3.bin and compare to tag1.bin if it matches delete tag2.bin and continue or if doesn't match compare tag2.bin and tag3.bin. If those match delete tag1.bin and continue or if still doesn't match then stop program.

I've seen some mention of specific USB programmer and just wanted to clearify will this work with USBJTAGNT? As I have ordered this.

[PleXo]

il maybe make it so that it will dump a 3rd time if first 2 dont match but really if u keep getting errors you shouldnt be messing with it in the first place ..


it does work with usb aslong as it works with nandpro

however im unsure about your USBJTAGNT as we arnt using jtag to flash ??

[belenos]

I rarely get 2 that don't match. Just was wanting that 3rd option as that way I could walk away and it bee good to go when I come back. I have never had to read more than 3 times and thats only on very rare occasions. just didn't want to have to read 4 times as I have never had to read 4 times manually.

oh and the programmer connects to the same spots as LPT.

They have a program for use but I believe it is also compatible with nandpro.

i will try and make it dump 3 if ness. for next release... can you show me a link to the programmer you bought ?

[belenos]

http://www.usbjtag.com/

[belenos]

well there forum is saying its not usable with nandpro. but i got another guy saying he uses his with it so I guess I'll wait and see.

[PleXo]

dont see how ??

we are using an SPI interface NOT A JTAG

theres a difference... i notice it says on their website its compatible with SPI but i am guessing it acts as a SPI programmer, which is not what we are doing we are talking to an SPI to rewrite the xbox nand, again theres a difference

i cant tell you it will work because i simply dont know, but i wouldnt hold my breath.. i would rather just buy the correct tools for it!

[PleXo]

thoughts?

Great little app, really simplifies the process. The GUI is looking good!
