XBR-Flash for Linux v0.2 beta *update: v0.2.3* Posted by XanTium | January 10 21:58 EST | News Category: Xbox360 |
| Trancy released a new version of XBR-Flash. With LFlash it was already possible to update your XBReboot on NAND-16mb consoles directly from your Xbox 360 booted into a Linux Distro like Gentoo (so no need to flash over LPT or USB again). Based on LFlash, XBR-Flash however will now allow you to flash on 256/512mb consoles as well and v0.2 comes with more additional features. Quote
Note: This tool can of course only be only be used if you already run XBReboot/XeLL and want to update to a newer version (will be much faster, certainly on BB NANDs), the first time to perform the hack you will still have to do it over LPT or USB. *Update* Trancy made a hotfix (v0.2.1) for the problem with bad blocks! But it needs testing again - so please report your findings! *Update* 2nd hotfix for bad blocks (reserved area is on the end of 64 MB and not 256 or 512) *Update* v0.2.3, fixed KV and Config Injection Official Site: n/a, by Trancy Download v0.2.3: here News-Source: xboxhacker.org |

If this was to put compiled in a very very small linux barebone release of Gentoo, so small that It can be installed to a USB Stick (less than 1G if possible), or something similar to xboxhdm2 for Xbox1, where you can build an ISO with the necessary files in it and have it do it all automaticly. Just add xbr.bin (with kv.bin and config.bin injected of course).
Watch it do it all on it's own.
Be sweet.
Not sure if I made it clear.
Cheers, great app, just tested on Zephyr 16mb NAND, flashed XBR_3a

as you could get them on the xbox and aye you could do that np (then you can do almost any thing the really question is will you)

if you was to do that you wouldnt even need the kv.bin or rewconfig.bin

But what about if I'm going to only flash Xell after my original backup is made with nandpro where my kv and rawconfig are not present in NAND, but will be in my xbr.bin that I'll be flashing?

Will I what? I don't do much Linux, I only code in basic (lame) and script in XML.
What's I'm looking for is to make it a self flashing script to run within Gentoo, this is to avoid waiting for Gnome desktop to load, mount USB, build executable flasher, and manually flash it all. Ah, don't forget that not all of us have USB keyboard and mouse (I do, but because I had to buy them).
The idea is to run Xell, after that something that will automaticly flash xbr.bin so that It doesn't take that long from nandpro via lpt and writing to nand is more stable from xbrflash.c / lflash.c
Cheers.

could someone be so kind as to put together a clean noob friendly tut on using this?
I just want to make sure I have all the steps clear and and if there is any difference between using this and lflash besides the final line of code for execution of the script.

I really don't use Linux at all but I have used lflash a few time to update boxes.

Just use the Lflash tutorial (search the forums) except replace lflash.c with xbrflash.c. Follow everything until gcc command, then do this:
CODE
gcc xbrflash.c -o xbrflash
chmod +x xbrflash
./xbrflash backup.bin xbr_virgin.bin -i

With the easy connector and all!
DOH!

Also a direct link to the "BEST" tutorial for properly using lflash/xbrflash should probably be added directly into this thread for archival purposes, since as we all know the SEARCH function in this forum is not the easiest to negotiate. This was requested earlier in thread as well and seems a wise request considering more attention now will be given to this new and quicker XBR update method.

Because you can strip everything out that we don't need and keep what's necessary for xbrflash.c/lfalsh.c to complile executable and flash xbr.bin

I need to flash my backup so that I can re-do the command to inject my kv and stuff. I forgot to use the -i flag.
I would love to not wait 2 hours for my nand to flash via lpt.

Nothing! Flashing was ok btw.
This was on a Zephyr 16mb NAND.

If this CONFIG injection bug is true than we can not use the "i" function and this script must probably be avoided for new intial exploitations of the console. If it has a bug that serious than there may be more bugs yet to be publically discovered.
So its back to original GENTOO-live CD and compiled lflash for now.
also this was just posted tonight as another alternative flash updating .iso: (I assume for XBR nand updates)

JUST NOT SURE WHAT EXACTLY DEBIAN MEANS AND WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES THIS NEW FLASH update ISO IS OFFERING?
we will need some spoon feeding to get us Windows testers over this Linux learning curve hurdle with regard to these compiled FLASHER .iso CDs

Now a new version .31 script was just released for more bug fixes, but it still has some CONFIG and/or KV "direct injection" bugs.

debians just another distro... the advantage is that the disc is authored with the tools on there already.

Does anyone think this would work with old consoles?
Post by: Lush on January 16, 2010, 11:45:00 PM
- Completely rewrote code, so no more Open-Source
- Various Bug fixed
- No more option -i available
- New Options added -kv and -config (meaning keep your KV- or Config-Data on Nand)
- New Options added -fullerase and -erasedata (be careful with erase Nand)
- Write only Valid Data, empty Blocks wouldn't be written to Nand.
- Improved write speed and save Nand for useless rewritings, like MS do on update
- Fixed bug for full (256/512MB) read and write
