JungleFlasher to fully Support Xecuter x360USB PRO Posted by XanTium | February 2 22:27 EST | News Category: Xbox360

From jungleflasher.net: The JungleFlasher Team are proud to annouce we have been embedding full support for the upcoming XECUTER X360USB PRO. This it the most exciting thing to happen on the flashing scene since JF hit the scene over 2 years ago. The neat device will simplify flashing for all users. It integrates seemlessly into JF. It shows as I/O port 0x0000, nothing else changes, everything else works as it always does. The real advantage as we see it: * Compatibilty: one device, not 1000's of different vendors. * Support: it works, if you have issues, it has been seen before. * Installation: Plug it in, ta dah, you're ready. * Interoperability: works on all current windows OS, signed drivers, no messing. * Portability: you can take it with you, it's tiny, smaller than a credit card. This device has been a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have done it better ourselves. Official Site: http://x360usb.com | http://team-xecuter.com Pre-Order Now: mrmodchips ($64.59/€46.73/£39.94)

Yup I second that.

[BigSteel]

Anyone wanna bet that you won't be able to load the slim firmware if you don't have an X360USB Pro attached?

[PaddyPat]

I'm still curious if this piece of hardware is required to write to the 9504 & 0225 drives! I am putting my money on yes!!!

Good job c4eva good job. No one suspects you are holding crap because of money.

[lonedeath]

So does this power the drives too or do we still need to use the connectivity kit/console?

Great looking device but....

WHY DON'T THESE THINGS HAVE A/C POWER ADAPTERS

It may be easy to connect via USB now but I'm willing to guess that most people are still going to need to open their PC's go get molex power for a CK3 (or equivalent) or use the 360 for power. Also, 65$ is a little too pricey, oh well. At least its good to see the modding scene still evolving and conquering the slim drives.

Can I take you all up on these bets? Say, $/£/€ 100 each?

100 of your desired currency, sir? JF parses 9504 currently, LT+ wouldnt be any different.

9504 write has already been done, Tarablinda.

No, this runs off of usb (5v) the drive requires 12v. You cant use it to power drives.

To be accurate, you can read, erase and write firmware to all current drives (excl. Hitachi v79) using a 5v supply. I've done so on many an occasion. 12v is only needed for motor functions, such as laser, spindle and snake drive.

Obviously not a desirable solution, but handy if you're caught short (like I was) and your external molex PSU goes kaput

Ok, this is something that drives me crazy to understand.....

Does this mean the methods to read firmware/keys from drives are the same?
Meaning that we still need to use SPEAR or VAMPIRE with XTRACTOR in my case to read liteon drives?

I still don't fully understand the true use of this device :S is it like portable SATA port to flash drives?

Sounds good for laptop users, but for Desktop user knowing you al ready have these tools.. this makes it... USELESS.


Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Bad_Ad]

<--- Desktop user, will still be buying one.

[ddsdavey]

<--- Desktop user, will not be buying one,dont fix what aint broke!
But if i was new to it then yes maybe.

[DARKFiB3R]

Kinda sucks that it doesn't have a connectivity kit built in, so that you can use one of these PSU's with it, to power the drive.

I suggest to read the countless posts scattered across the web where people have driver issues with VIA SATA devices, as well as those who can't / won't install a VIA PCI card. Because it's USB, every machine is compatible. I've a laptop with a working config and I'm even tempted into getting one, though the price is a sticking point ATM.
