SMC Utility v1.0a *Update v1.0b* Posted by XanTium | November 17 16:54 EST | News Category: Xbox360

Blackaddr released SMC Utility v1.0 on xboxhacker.org: This is a general purpose SMC utility designed to replace the old SMC I/O Config Utility.  The program itself is a patching engine, where the patches are written as scripts in the INI file.  This will allow any future patches to be released as scripts instead of re-releasing the program itself. This allows you to build a hacked SMC from your original, unhacked version.  Included is an All-In-One patch that provides a uniform exploit code base between several SMC versions, and applies a patch that improves the support for Play'N'Charge cables.  It eliminates the 'reboot' problem while shutting down with a controller charging.  Optional patches are included that allow you force the console to power down instead of charging if you do not wish to leave the console charging unattended.  You can also patch it to restore the original unconditional booting. An analysis mode allows quick diagnostics of the SMC using the new code base to check the JTAG I/O configuration, bug status, status of other patches, etc. The readme contains directions for a simple two-step process to build a working SMC from your original. You can ignore all the advanced modes if using command-line utilities makes you crap your pants. AIO Known Issues: - while charging a battery in standby mode, the console will not boot properly using the controller GUIDE button.  Pwr/Eject work fine. - If you insert/remove the hard drive while the console is up and running, it will hang.  Press the pwr twice to reboot. The main advantage of using this program is to regain some Play'N'Charge functionality.  This program is for JTAG EXPLOITABLE consoles only. *EDIT [v1.0a]* Link up dated, the original link used ARGON_DATA in AIO patch, now uses AUD_CLAMP as readme states. *EDIT* *EDIT [v1.0b]* Link updated to smc_utilty_v1.0b.  Someone found a missing NOP in hack_v23a.asm *EDIT* I'll post a Linux binary eventually, but the windows version works fine under WINE.

Awesome! That's something I've really wanted for quite a while. Thanks to Blackaddr and all involved.

Anyone tested it yet?

[4DoorITR]

Yes. Still rebooting on shutdown using the charging cable here.

AFAIK there is no SMC version 1.10. The earliest is 1.51.


Can anyone else confirm that there 360 still reboots when shutting it off with a controller charging?

Plug N Play charging still just reboots like it did before.

Don't know about SMC versions but that's what I have from my original NAND dumps.

Nevermind working correctly after unplugging power so the new SMC would take affect. Console now goes to standby when charging and the bugs where you cant start with guide button or unplug the hdd are there also. It would be nice to see a fix for the guide button issue or better yet both. Thanks for updating this utility to fix the PNP charging bug.

There is also a bug on the new dash where if it doesn't start correctly (using the guide button at least) upon next power on you will be prompted by the 360 tutorial again.

Like 4DoorITR said charging is working after unplugging for 10 minutes or so to reset SMC.
