Anyone know why a previously jtagged 360 wouldn't boot in to Xellous anymore? I'm trying to apply this update and I've got everything ready except I can't seem to make it boot in to Xellous. I'm using the "plug and play charger in the back USB port" method and all I get is a blank screen. I'm using the VGA connector which worked perfectly fine when I was flashing XBR. I thought maybe the cables weren't working so I watched my routers DHCP table but it never shows up in there either, so I'm fairly certain it's just not booting.
Sorry about the thread hi-jack, great work on this tool!
Try booting with eject...that's the newer method...

Tried that as well, no dice.
But I ended up using Flash360.xex and it worked great. I just copied the updflash.bin file from the bin folder that this application made and it worked fine.
Also, for some reason I kept getting hard returns after my CPU key when I would hit "Extract kv.bin.... etc", but I was able to see the command in the .bat file that it generated and fix it so everything was fine after that. Not sure if it was because I was copying & pasting my CPU key in to the box from a text file or not, I'm guessing maybe you need to hand type it in to get the proper response from the program.
Again, great app!

Ya... last button was buggy for me too. Look for \bin\image.bin and rename to updflash.bin. Flash that file using Flash360.

Just curious, if I flash with Freeboot, that will overwrite/undo whatever dash launch does, correct? So I can simply reapply dash launch afterwards?
Freeboot already has dash launch patched in. You don't have to change anything.
Post by: Kyle009 on May 19, 2010, 01:12:00 PM
Am I right in assuming that I can download my current NAND, using my USB stick, use this program and then upgrade to FreeBOOT without the need for my original NAND?
Cheers!

NO, it does not the same thing "freeboot tool maker" generates a freeboot imagre from the original nand dump, and this tool can generate a freeboot image from an XBR dump (no need of the original nanad dump)...PLEASE READ BEFORE POST

Dont ever flash freeboot using Flash360, always use Xellous. Flash360 has some issues remapping bad blocks with Freeboot, and causes the console to fail to boot

If you are using Xellous what do you rename the .bin file to?
And does this take care of the update to 9199?
I ask because I just flashed and its still the old dash and yet it keeps saying it needs an update.
Which means I can't get to flash360 again so I need to try xellous to redo it?

rename it updflash.bin. if the usb stick isnt recognized in xellous, unplug the power plug for 30 seconds and try again

Ok this did work and it worked well. However, due to its ease and its general audience I think the directions should be a bit more thought out. There are 2 steps not even included and sort of just taken for granted. Once you do them, it works like a charm but it was a bitch to figure out what I was missing. Because from the looks of it I had done everything.

can u include the two steps that u did thats not in the directions lol. Going to do this over the weekend and that would be a big help!

Good to know! Luckily I don't have any bad blocks, but take heed anyone who does.

I flashed the image anyway using xellous and had only a solid green center light and black screen. Tried it twice in Win7, once in compatibility mode with xp sp3 and once without. Both times were unsuccessful.
I ended up compiling it by hand, followed a tut I found somewhere (if I find it again, I'll post it). Wasn't difficult at all, I was scared for no reason:)

Most likely it is just the instructions being a bit grouped together but, and I want to make sure this is known, I could have done something wrong but it only worked when I did this.

Directions for use :
First make a backup of your nand in flash 360 onto your memory stick.
Then move the nand backup over to your pc.
Browse for the nand directory and the program will automatically copy it over to the right
directory for you.
Then enter your CPU Key into the program and dump the necessary files.
This means click extract kv.bin etc...button)
You will then have to get your CB0 Key by opening up your nand in a hex editor.(ALSO pick your motherboard type)
After you have done this you may now create your nand with the following steps:
Directions here should be-
Hit Copy Extracted KV.bin etc button
Hit Copy CBO button
Hit Create Nand button
After the nand making process is complete, flash the file "updflash.bin" found in the bin
folder (the folder that the app opens when the nand making is complete)
This actually seems to create an image.bin and doesn't seem to open the folder
with flash360 using a flash drive.(This hashed my system so I used Xellous which worked, not sure why cause I have no bad blocks.
If you get an error about a bad kv then your Cpu key is probably incorrect or you are trying to flash with the wrong nand.
You should now have FreeBOOT !

Anyway those are what I did. If anyone sees an extra step sorry. But the system works excellent it really does. But only if you hit the right buttons and due to this being for us newbies it should/needs every step described.

I installed freeboot on 2 Jtags with XBR on them.
1 of them had a 6* Original Nand
1 of them had an XBR3 Nand
BOTH booted and played for couple hours and BOOM E79.
Wait few hours and woulsd play again.
THis is on 2 boxes so no it is not an equipment failure.
Just wondering if this is going to do the same....
PLEASE REPLY in Private message...I doubt I will be able to find this post again.

I used Win 7 x64 and a current XBR3 dump from my console (aquired with Flash360).
Small Tutorial:
Dump your current NAND with Flash360 on a USB Stick.
You can aquire your CPU Key and CB0 info with 360 Flash Tool by modfreakz. Just open your
flashdump.bin you got from Flash360 in 360 Flash Tool. No need for a hexeditor. Write all that down
and keep it somewhere safe or at least keep several backups of flashdump.bin.
Once you have your flashdump.bin loaded in the app and your CPUkey, Boardversion (Xenon, Jasper, etc) + CB0 correctly selected, hit the buttons from top to bottom.
After hitting the last button a folder window opens. There you select the updflash.bin and copy that to your usbstick where you also have Flash360.
Now, before you do anything, I'd advise you to compare your flashdump.bin (thats your XBR3 dump) with your updflash.bin. To do this, open both in 360 Flash Tool and look in the columns.
The left column (Bootloader) should be the same until "6BL". Your updflash should say 9199 there.
The right column (keyvault) MUST BE exactly the same for both dumps. If 360 Flash Tool reports any errors in the keyvault column for your updflash.bin DO NOT FLASH THE IMAGE ON YOUR CONSOLE.
After you checked your updflash.bin stick the USB Stick into the console, boot it, start Flash360 from Xexmenu.
Then select to update your onboard NAND (Button A).
Then select to flash the entire NAND including the config area (Button
[this is why you double checked your updflash.bin before]If Flash360 throws up any error messages after pressing B, be safe and don't flash but rather go back to your PC and recheck everything and redo the whole procedure.
Normally Flash360 will just compare the keyvaults and ask you to start the flashing procedure by pushing A.
After you started the flash procedure, do not do anything with your console or with your controller that could interrupt the flasher.
Once it is done, press any button, press BACK and press BACK again to shutdown the console automatically.
After the console powered itself off, remove the Powerplug from the wall socket for a minute.
The reboot your console, if all went well you should be greeted by the initial setup screen.
Good Luck.

I seem to be having a issue with updating mine to freeboot i updated to the latest xbr3 when it was released and have been playing on it for months now without any issues at all with the console but i thought it was about time i updated to freeboot for usb support,It is just that my flashdumps i keep getting off flash360 keep saying badkv/key when ran through 360 flash tool and 360 cpu key finder and i have also tried all the boot methods to get into xell and nothing.
I also have spent some time reading up aswell and it sounds like i might need to open the machine and use nandpro to write my nand back to the machine.
So what do you guys think ? any help would be greatly appreciated just so i know what direction to take next
