==================================================
* NandChunker 360 v0.2 Beta | by codew | ©2010 *
==================================================

Features:
=========
 - thread based GUI for NandPro
 - reads/writes Xenon NANDs in number of chunks you like
 - reads a chunk two times and compares them automatically
 - re-reads the chunks if comparion fails
 - automatic KV/Config extraction/injection
 - automatic splitting/merging NAND files
 - XBR 8955 and freeBOOT 9199 support
 - backup your original NAND and update it to freeBOOT 9199
 - simple and easy to use, no need to write commands by your own
 - no "Command Prompt" black screens popping
 

Installation:
=============
 - Run "Setup.exe", nothing special.
 

Usage:
======

Test Run - Just for show, nothing is modified:
----------------------------------------------
Configure as follows and press "Start". NandChunker will do a full backup-write run.
**Hint: You may think of backing up "XBR_Xenon_8955_3.bin" file or doing the test run on another file.

<Device>: Select "File" and left file name as it is "XBR_Xenon_8955_3.bin".
<Board>: Only "Xenon" is selectable and already selected (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
<Number of Chunks>: Select as you wish, try "64".
<Read Chunks From Device Into Files>: Check, left file name as it is.
<Join Read Chunks Into File>: Check, left file name as it is.
<Rebooter>: Select "XBR\8955"
<Get KV/Config From Device Into Files>: Check, left file name as it is.
<Update KV/Config In XBR File>: Check, left file name as it is.
<Split XBR Into Chunks Of Files>:  Check, left file name as it is.
<Write XBR Chunks To Device From Files>:  Check, left file name as it is.

Normal Run - Backup the original NAND and write XBR\8955 to your 360:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This run assumes that you have a 360 with a kernel of 7371 or below. NandChunker will first backup your original, modify XBR\8955 for you and then flash it into your 360. At the end, your 360 will be running XBR\8955 and you will have a backup of your old kernel at hand. Configure just like the test run, but connect your 360 to your PC and select "LPT" or "USB" instead of "File".

freeBOOT\9199 Run - Convert your XBR\8955 nand into freeBOOT\9199:
------------------------------------------------------------------
This run assumes that you have a 360 with a XBR\8955 kernel running. Configure as follows and press start. At the end your 360 will be running freeBOOT\9199. Easy, isn't it ?.

<Device>: Select "LPT" or "USB".
<Board>: Only "Xenon" is selectable and already selected (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif).
<Number of Chunks>: Select as you wish, try "64".
<Read Chunks From Device Into Files>: Uncheck.
<Join Read Chunks Into File>: This is tricky. Check it first and change the file name as your XBR\8955 nand backup (you may first do a backup if you dont have the file). Then uncheck it, but notice that the file name stays there.
<Rebooter>: Select "freeBOOT\9199"
<Enter Your CPU Key>: Check, enter your CPU key. You can get it from Xell.
<Create freeBOOT Nand In File>: Check, left file name as it is.
<Split XBR Into Chunks Of Files>:  Check, left file name as it is.
<Write XBR Chunks To Device From Files>:  Check, left file name as it is.


Important Notes:
================
 - You can check whatever operation you want and the To-Do list will be automatically filled.
 - You can stop and select any starting point from the To-Do list.
 - This is a early beta version. Don't count on it.
 - LPT is tested and working correctly, but USB is not tested yet (my LPC 2148 is behaving strangely).
 - 8955 and 9199 rebooters are both tested and working correctly.
 - During freeBoot\9199 process, you may get an error of "Error: Could not find file sysupdate.xexp1". Not important.
 - Works only for Xenon boards for the moment (the others will be supported soon, I promise (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)).
 - Posted only at the fabulous xbox-scene forum.

Thank you.

Btw, I usually use the following flow to upgrade fom 8955 to 9199:

1. Get the 8955 flash dump from Xell by the means of ethernet connection.
2. <Read Chunks From Device Into Files>: Uncheck.
3. <Join Read Chunks Into File>: This is tricky. Check it first and change the file name as your XBR\8955 nand backup. Then uncheck it, but notice that the file name stays there.
4. <Rebooter>: Select "freeBOOT\9199"
5. <Enter Your CPU Key>: Check, enter your CPU key. You can get it from Xell.
6. <Create freeBOOT Nand In File>: Check, left file name as it is.
7. Press Start and wait for the completion.
8. Take the freeBOOT Nand and put it into a USB stick. Don't forget to change the name of the file to "updflash.bin".
9. Plug the USB stick to your 360 and start Xell.
10. Xell will automatically update your nand to 9199.

This flow takes about 2 mins or so .
