nice, can update to this xell using the new usb update feature?
looks like it ? (usb stick with file called updxell.bin)
line 315 in src code
Post by: theevilhacker63 on September 12, 2009, 07:05:00 PM
or do we just make a usb stick with this on it? and stick it in and it will update itself?
**edit**
I can also see that this is no where near the size of the other xells so this must be some kind of usb flash to the nand..

add border when using SD master (thats to do with the video I belive so it doesnt go off screen)
support multiple LUNs, fix some usb drives (adds support for more usb sticks)
If you want to update you can use usb stick, Just rename to update to "updxell.bin"
You can also update within gentoo, or you can use the lpt.
for the lpt you use.
nandpro lpt -w16 updxell.bin 40 10
needs the 40 10 on the end to update.
this update worked fine for me, now I have some usb sticks that work with it where before update none in the house worked.

Didn't Cygnos send x-s a product sample that sat over the onboard nand ages ago? Was it ever reviewed or released? I am fiending for some XBL, and would like to switch between nands. I was waiting for some more info about said product... If anyone has any recommendations about what I can buy now, or a project I can build [would digi-key be a decent source for NANDs? how complex is the switching logic...], please share. [If there's a guide I missed, apologies in advance.]

Live will update the fuses which will stop xell running, So the only reason for a dual nand is to be able to run 2 regions.

Thanks for the quick clarify majinsoft. Is there any benefit to me abstaining still? grab some cpu+drive keys or something? I have been quite far from all the 360 stuff... The original was my lifeblood. [been supplanted by the psp, and now the wii...].I had completely forgotten about the fuses [Wasn't there a resistor that could be lifted? or was that regarding something else?]. [I may have just wasted away a month of xbl by being thick...]

I tried this with your lpt method and after flashing it resulted in my 360 refusing to do anything but just sit there after I pressed the power button.
I'm currently re-flashing the xell 1024x768 back to it to start over.. I first tried putting the updxell.bin on my flash drive which I knows works just fine for the emulator and running linux.. but it would never take it.. so something is wrong.. got any suggestions?
Post by: majinsoftware on September 12, 2009, 11:36:00 PM
You need to get the one that is data 28/8/09 on xbins cant remember what its calls something like xenon_1921_hack.bin
Its only 1.3mb instead of the full 16mb.
And you have to flash back your orignal nand,
Then flash the latest xell one mentioned above
Then apply the patch via usb/linux flash/lpt
Once you have the xenon_1921_hack.bin you dont need to reflash the whole nand again because it allows you to apply updates just to selected parts.

Ok flashing my original back now.. lets see if this work.
Post by: majinsoftware on September 13, 2009, 12:50:00 AM
Yes dated 29th should be alright.
Flash xenon_1921_hack as you would the nand normally, It will only flash 50 blocks which will take like 5mins,
Then flash the updxell with 40 10 on the end and it will flash 9 blocks which will take about a min. Or you could just update with the usb stick with updxell on it. takes about 30secs.

so

-W writes without ecc
Since your only patching it you dont want to have ecc added.
Or the other way around.
And im using a 20 inch CRT, dont have a way to record while Im flashing. Im using a really old 46mhz computer and it bearly runs windows 98 and the flasher program at the same time. So theres no hope for running a screen capture program.

WOW !! I applaud you my friend.. 46mhz.. that brings me back! intel 386dx humming along at 16mhz.. and the trusty 486 with a whopping 33mhz...good old win 3.1 and dos days.. BBS FTW!
back when Netscape navigator was the default browser ... thanks for the memories!
I'm currently flashing with my trusty ibm thinkpad a22m 1ghz 256 megs ram.. coincidentally the only machine in the house that flashes correctly .

Try switching your xbox off at the mains before retrying. My 360 does the same, doesnt detect the USB stick after powering off. A quick full power cycle does the trick. Just make sure you wait for the LED to go off on the PSU before powering back on.

Just tested it on another xbox and you have to use cap W.
so
nandpro lpt: -W16 updxell.bin 40 10

not sure what went wrong for you.. try flashing again may have a had a partially bad flash?
after this update I can also confirm that the usb update feature is now working just fine! and my snes emu is also working ..
I'm using a sandisk cruzer micro 4gb looks like this http://www.missouris...tore/micro4.jpg
you can buy them in walmart for I believe 10 maybe 15 bucks now? I removed the "u3" partition instructions online on how to do that and it works perfectly!
