Title: [tut] How To Retrive A Lost Dvd Key From Xenon Motherboard
Post by: RRODXbox on August 21, 2009, 12:09:00 PM
First off, You need to  check that you have no Higher than kernel 7371 and for the moment only works on Xenon due to the diagrams/software not being realeasd for other types.

You need to solder up the LPT NAND reader as described in this http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=690493 thread

You also need Xenon_hack.bin (available from the usual places)

ATM it only works on VGA so you either have to go out an purchase a VGA xbox360 cable or do the VGA mod
http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=522608

After succesfully flashing the NAND, have a camera ready to take a quick capture or the screen or if you have video capturing capabilities then im sure that will do.

You need to grab lines 3 and 5  or 4 and 6, it doesnt matter) of the fuses that breifly flash up on the screen, those two parts make up your CPU key

(IMG:http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8386/fuses2.jpg)

Right, now Grab flashtool 0.88b http://rapidshare.com/files/151147932/360_...Retail.rar.html

Load it and it should come up with a popup requesting cpukey, tick the box and paste it in. if not click keys on the app and insert them there.
Click open dump file and point it towards your 360 dump.

(IMG:http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/4097/fdtq.jpg)

There you have it, Your DVD key + drive revision  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Then using the Same method you used to flash xenon_hack.bin, Flash back your 360 nand.bin to resume 360 functionality and flash the Dvd drive with the drive key you recovered (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yes this works, and is easy to do.  But you need to take a quick pic, right? Wrong, I've found a way to make it so that the screen freezes.  Want to know how to do it?  Heck I'll tell ya it's very easy.

Open note pad.

type um....  FREEZE, or Pause, or anything.

Now click file-save as

and save it as XENON.ELF

very important to save it like that.

Then put it on a usb drive.  Turn on your 360 with xell installed, and bam the screen will um..... pause.

Here is my question
why under OSIG does it say unknown ? Im sure i got a valid dump because when i flashed my nand image back to my 360 everything works fine (played tiger woods 10 with no problems) I got my CPU key form fusebits 3 and 5 entered it in to flash tool opened up my nand dump and it ether crashes or i get unknown OSIG
Why is this ? any help would be great
Thanks for any help
oh and yes the dvd key that flash tools shows is correct

From what I had accidently found on XBH, some Kevaults do not have OSIG section in them meaning you can use any drive without getting E66 and works with just the key.

Yours is working so I wouldn't worry about it too much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) its not like you are going to take it on live and risk a ban from bad spoofing is it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I just flashed my xenon, got E79. I'm using an Infectus.

Is there anything that needs to be done with the xenon.bin file before flashing? Do you need to use the LPT flashing, or will the infectus do it ok?

Did you run your resistors from the JTAG port to the GPU SMC port?

As shown here: http://forums.xbox-s...o...690493&st=0

(ignore all other connections listed EXCEPT the 330 Ohm resistors and their points on the motherboard, they are what you need)

Ya, Tmbinc said that if you flash the NAND without doing the 3 resistors, you get E79 smile.gif

Ok got it. I've got the efuses read out and the CPU key.

I've inputted the CPU key in the flash tool, then tryed to open my dump but it just crashes and comes up with error reporting...

Wrong CPU key? Do I need the 1BL key?
Title: [tut] How To Retrive A Lost Dvd Key From Xenon Motherboard
Post by: RRODXbox on August 25, 2009, 04:10:00 AM
No you dont need the 1bl key, I saw on XBH that after a certain revision of Flash tool you no longer need it and some people have managed to get thir keys from my tut. maybe you are using an old version?

And did you take you key from lines 3 and 5 or 4 and 6, it doesnt matter which but maybe you put them in the wrong way round?

Try this.

Open the FlashTool
Click on Keys.
Enter the 2 lines from the fuses.
ok
Close the program completely.

Reopen
Select your NAND file - it should populate with DVD key and ORIG Data. If it crashes, it's possible your dump isn't good. I strongly recommend running it through Degraded v1.1 first to ensure there are no bad blocks (although it's probably too late for you unless you did multiple dumps).

E71 is a normal error so it may have been there before.
According to internet nerds it has somethignt o do with the ethernet port...
All it means is there is a general hardware problem or bridge in circuits.

Do the Xclamp repair, then maybe run some heat on it and some good thermal paste and you should be fine.

Yes you can recover the DVD from the motherboard once you have the nand dump and the cpu key, use 360 flash dumper to decode the dvd key, it'll even tell you what type of DVD drive is married to the system!!

Hey RRODxbox,
    First I'd like to say thanks for all the work on this. I've had a 360 with bricked dvd drive for a while now. I understand all the physical work, no problem. However, I've never flashed a drive on anything. I've read all the pages of info on this post and the LPT diagram one, but there are too many different tools being used for the same purpose for me to follow.
    All I want to do is Figure out what my original key was for my drive, get a new drive and put the OEM firmware and key on it.
    My understanding is that I hook up my wires: JTAG and LPT Nand. My 360 drive stays connected to 360. I have VGA cable for 360 hooked up. I have Nandpro on my PC. Do I boot the 360 and PC at same time? then I take picture of "fuses" or the Read. How do I find the dvd key? Sorry I know it's first post and all, if you could point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful. Thanks

Sorry for the long reply, havent been around much..

You dont need to turn the 360 on, just powered by a PSU

You dump your NAND.bin then flash Xell to your 360 to get the CPU keys

After getting a succesful dump you load your NAND.bin in flashtool inserting your CPU key you saw in Xell. then is simply displays it as shown in my pic on the 1st page smile.gif

You then flash your NAND.bin back to the 360 and flash the key you found back to the drive and all should be well smile.gif

Dude, you're my hero!

I did have to remove the resistors from my lpt cable to get it to work, though. Using "fc/b", my nand dumps seem to have a lot of differences, but I did manage to make 2 without any errors in the reading process.

 My cable is about 3' (which is just long enough to sit the xbox on top of the pc and reach the lpt port), and I did use a switching diode. The box is flashed back to the orig nand, so seems to be fine, but either my dumping isn't consistent for some reason, or fc/b is an inefficient way to compare dumps.

 Another box I tried hooking up to read suddenly turns my power brick red when I plug it in; no idea why, as before I started hooking it up, it didn't have a problem....

First off i just want to thank everyone who worked on this project. Im new to the xbox 360 scene as well as this is my first forum post. I mixed up dvd drives a while back and stole a few parts out of the wrong one and figured i was screwed for life, until i read this forum. i understand most of it what im not sure about though is once you solder everything up it says after flashing the nand. how do you flash the nand? do you hook up the serial port to the computer and run somthing? any helpful responses would be appreciated.

Thanks for the tutorial, i had to remove the 100ohm resistors for mine to  "try" and read anything, but when it does try and read I'm getting error after error, with no dump, any pointers?
Its left me with a 182kb file under the nand name but i didnt let it go all the way through because of all the errors, the flash id was 120000 so i guess i may possibly need the diode in there, does it go between J1D2 4 and R2D8 or am i reading the diagram wrong?

all the 330 resistors are still in there just the 100's taken out.

All the best

Stu

Update on my last, the diode seems to be taking it to the right flash id, will report back when i have a good dump (no not that kind of dump lol  tongue.gif )

Thanks for the tut RRODXbox, learned a lot. I have a xenon with 8507 kernel. Because of your breakthrough I am hopeful on getting my key some day!

I can read you need the VGA cable for this. Isn't it possible with the RCA one? If not, would it be possible to do this without using the screen (like output the info we want on a file?)

Thanks!

Hi,

I have followed this tutorial for a zephyr mainboard and all went well. Xell booted up and got my key. But as I flashed back the original nand I'm getting RROD. I've tried several times, taking off power after flashing but still no luck. Thing is that I just have 1 dump so maybe that was a bad dumb. Later I tried on a new Elite with  jasper which I accidentaly lost the key, with kernel 7636 (if im not mistaken). Read original nand 6 times with no errors, tried to boot up xell (jasper hacked 16mb version) and it didnt boot, probably the kernel is not exploitable. Then i reflashed the original nand and got RROD also on this one. I tried all the 6 dumps and still no luck. Took all day. Any suggestions please?

I am currently having the same problem. Have 4 reads, all done with no errors, all identical. Flashed Xell, got CPU key, got the DVD key. Now I flashed the NAND backup and got E79 (the console is almost unused as the owner tried to mod it himself and erased before reading the key). Do I have to erase before writing the NAND back? Do I have to write with nandpro using w or W?

bar807 did you try erasing before writing back the original NAND?

Hi great guide  I managed to get my dvd key but when I flash the original nand dump back all I get now is 2 alternating red leds jumping from bottom 2 to top 2?. Theres no video output just black screen with the leds jumping from top to bottom
I dumped the nand 3 times and compared them using infectus tools with no errors.




Anybody got any ideas ??.

Thanks again

Compared using infectus tools? Could you detail that method? Did you try comparing with "fc" command in DOS, or with Total Commander "Compare by content" option?

How many times did you write the flash back to the console? Did you try an erase command before writing?

I was able to solve the problem mentioned 2 posts above by erasing and writing again. Don't know if the problem was that I did not erase first, or maybe due to a bad writing. All is good, key injected in DVD and all is working fine and dandy biggrin.gif

Thanks everyone for the tutorials and help!

I have a good falcon board with kernal 7371 that somebody swapped in a samsung drive and lost the key,
Will this method work on this board? I think there might have been some program updates in the past week?..
I just gave away 3 xbox's this last month that would have been great for this all worked just had lost dvd keys.
Damn.

      Of course, it works! Recently I retrieved the lost key of Falcon MB.

Does this method works for 512mb jaspers (june 09) boards?

Is there a way to do this without VGA cable?

I have the NAND all wired to LPT and JTAG hack soldered but have NOT done anything else yet.

Anyone know i dont want to go ahead yet to screw something up.
thanks

You don't need the VGA cable, you can use the normal cable and go composite.

But, IT'S FUCKIN' HARD TO READ!

Hi all,

Could someone please tell me why I would need to write back to the NAND since I only read it to get the DVD key as the same key is going to be used?

Thanks.

Is their like any way too check your kernel without the Xbox360 having too goto the dashboard coz this is the furthest i get look:

Yep - just dump the NAND using NandPro as normal, then check using Degraded - it'll tell you your kernel version and more importantly, if you've got an exploitable CB.

No - exploitable (ie pre 8XXX) only.

DVD drive does not matter you just need an exploitable kernal

I remembered I had an old broken xbox 360 from 5 years ago in storage, I have like on of old dashboards in the 600's  it is exploitable and xenon motherboard. But problem is I switched out dvd drive boards to a fixed dvd-rom now I have no clue what goes where or if what I have is the original. SO i need to get my keys from my motherboard. Can someone please send me links of tutorials in steps I will need to do things. If you could that would help a brother out so much. I can't seem to get help and ive been searching hard.

is there like a modchip that would do this for me, or could i do this through sata cord, i would rather not solder but if I have to i need better instructions and pictures, these other post seem to be for people that know a lot already and leaves noobs no place to begin learning. I need to know everything you have on retreiving keys from mother board

The link for the download doesn't work can someone pm me the program links. Also what is the printer cable for what is getting sent through that. I really neeed an indepth tutorial if any could send me some links.
