Xecuter: NAND-X In Production; LT Switch v1.5 On Sale Posted by XanTium | March 30 20:09 EST | News Category: Xbox360 |
| |
Team Xecuter released updates about 2 of their new products:
* Xecuter NAND-X Now In Production Xecuter presents the NAND-X & JTAG Connection Kit. Based on the proven and excellent NAND PRO USB Programmer designed by illustrious scene member Tiros, we have developed a very tight package that gives you everything you need without having to use any other parts or self-made cables and kits - and certainly without breaking the bank! Not only do we provide one of the fastest 360 NAND programmers currently available, but we have designed a very simple connection system using our popular and much used quicksolder PCB breakout boards. Also as a bonus we have integrated an expansion socket and an update port so you are able to update the firmware of the ARM Controller to make sure you can keep up to date with future new features, upgrades and add-ons. We have also included an optional pin header cable system just like the old XBOX LPC Days :) - so you can connect the NAND-X via quick solder pcb, pin header or use the color coded wires and solder straight to the 7 easy points.
We have also designed an easy to install JTAG Connection Kit that works on ALL Xbox 360 Motherboards - From Xenon thru to Jasper. Naturally if you want to JTAG your console it has to have a compatible dash / kernel version (The JTAG Connection Kits will also be sold separately for those that already have NAND programmers). A full range of tutorials and walk thrus will be available on our forums shortly.
Here is a brief run down of the NAND-X's features: * Fast USB 360 NAND Programming * Rock Solid 60Mhz ARM Controller * Easy Install System for both NAND and JTAG * Includes Quick Solder Connection Kit For NAND * Includes Quick Solder Connection Kit For JTAG Hack (All Version Motherboards) * Includes Optional Pin Header Connection Kit For NAND * Includes Optional Pin Header Connection Kit For JTAG Hack (All Version Motherboards) * Built-in Programmer For Future NAND-X Firmware Upgrades (Windows App Available) * Add-on Expansion Socket Included * Proven Technology - Based On NAND Pro Design * 100% Compatible with NAND Pro v2.0e * Rock Solid Design - Tested by many JTAGER'S * High Quality & Trusted Xecuter Design * Complete with ALL cables required including USB * Multiple NAND & JTAG Connection Kits Sold Separately for Bulk Installers (Will be cheap - like LT Switch) * Affordable - We Provide You With More For Less !
Production has now begun so we expect delivery to arrive sometime in April. RRP is set at around £24.95 / $34.95 however a small number of resellers are offering a special pre-order promotional price of just £19.95 / $29.95 !!! For those that have an interest in how projects like Nand-X evolve through the prototype stages - here is a fun chart we made for your reference - check out this image
* LT Switch v1.5 On Sale This is the new Xecuter LT Switch v1.5 - the latest version in the best selling Xecuter LT Switch range.
Now Includes MULTI-R Function. It was discovered that a small number of Liteon drives would not dump the firmware with a 20 ohm resistor - but required an 18 Ohm or 22 Ohm resistor - so now you can select between 18, 20 and 22 Ohms ! (Default should be set to 20 Ohms - this will work 99% of the time)
The installation is very simple and takes about 5 minutes if you have some small experience with a soldering iron. It has been tested with the latest Jungle Flasher 0.1.73. All Liteon drive versions have been tested with 100% Success (Including the troublesome Winbond IC). There is no need to remove the LT Switch after it has been installed - simply switch to normal mode and you are good to go. Even if you have to upgrade in the future - you don't have to touch the switch again !
Don't be fooled by more expensive copycat products. This is the only solution you need to do a very simple job. Remember this product follows the K.I.S.S engineering principle (KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID) :) You can read a review by Team Jungle HERE
Features: * The Only Liteon Solution Recommended By Team Jungle ! * Enables Read/Write on ALL Liteon 74850, 83850, 93450 DVD Drives * Easy & Simple Install - Install Once & Forget * Enable / Disable Switch * Multi-R Switch (18, 20, 22 Ohms) * Supports both Winbond & MXIC Chipset * On/Off LED * Completely Undetectable * No Need To Uninstall * Works with ALL tools including the latest Jungle Flasher * Full Installation Tutorial - CLICK HERE

Nice! The breakout quick solder pcb's for the NAND-X look like something my stubby fingers could handle with a caffeine rush...
Can't wait! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pop.gif)

Good stuff.
-
That actually looks useful, and the price is much better than I thought.
-
i just bought the old Lt switch...
-
Has any one seen a tutorial for the Nand-X?
-
Looks nice. Even better - Tiros got credit for his work.
-
LT switch and similar products are the MOST WORTHLESS products for liteon flashing. If you can solder this, you can repair traces and solder a simple switch.
-
I'm actually interested in this NANDX thing purely for the speculative add-ons they mention. I wonder how far they can push this (software, etc)?
-
any price on the jtag boards alone? im guessing they should only be a couple dollars.
i wouldnt mind getting 1 programmer to do a few boxs. thats possible with this setup yea?
-
rip off
-
no xbmc no dice
-
Cheaper than the 360NandFlasher from Maximus. I will wait to see install diagrams to make up my mind on which one seems the easiest.
-
Interesting how people sell their asses to these chinese plastics makers...
this is just a cheap production of the do your own cheap USB programmer. there is not even a software for it. it purely relies on NANDpro. take a look at www.cygnos360.com
they actually made it themselves, the flash much faster and they have a toolbox which can do all sorts of stuff. this thing exists since august and is in revision F by now fully tweaked here and there.
(IMG:http://www.cygnos360.com/images/cygnos360_rev_f.jpg)
(IMG:http://www.cygnos360.com/Downloads/Cygnos360%20V2%20Toolbox%201.10%20beta%203.png)
this even pulls out the CPU key while you boot into xell or a hacked image and you can directly mess around with it. its FAR! more advanced. This xecutor thing is just another version if the DYO programmers out there since July.
i dont see why anyone should buy this china junk. this is as usefull as the external DVD case they made lol
-
Because the Cygnos is almost twice as much as this and doesn't seem like it's a very quick and simple solution.
I'm a fan of the Cygnos, but now that it's only a single Nand that entire feature is completely gone which makes it a lot less valuable to me.
Yeah, this is based on a DIY flasher that is everywhere now, but it's almost a pretty simple solution for people to do it themselves without very much work.
Yeah, it's cool to do it yourself and gain experience, but not everyone is very good with electronics.
I'm interested in this since my soldering skills aren't the best but are improving and would like something pretty simple like this so I can experience homebrew on my 360 as quick as possible.
If I or anybody else wants to buy it, then let us. I work for my money and I should be able to buy whatever I want. People spend a lot more money on things they don't need every day. This is no different than anything else.
If I want it or somebody else wants it, then shut up about it and let them do what they please with their money.
Damn.
-
THX for the news!
I orderd NAND-X Now In Production.
Xbox-scene rocks!
-
The Cygnos has quite a lot of extra wires that need to be installed, not just quick solder points. From what I've seen regarding the Nand-X, there are few quick solder points and one wire. I'd consider that a lot easier to install.
Again, everyone is free to get what they want, but I see nothing about the Cygnos that makes it any better anymore. Yeah, their software seems pretty cool, but it's nothing that special. Having their own software doesn't automatically make it better, and since the Cygnos is almost twice as much as the Nand-X and 360NandFlasher, and they all do the same thing in the end, I see no valid reason why you'd still choose the Cygnos, especially since it's MAIN feature was Dual-Nand, which is no longer present.
The only thing good about the Cygnos is that they have their own software, yet you're still doing the same thing in the end. When the Cygnos is priced at the same price-point as this, and is an actually simple quick-solder solution, then I'd consider it something to look into, but right now it's still almost twice as much, more difficult to install, and is no longer Dual-Nand which is the main reason I looked into it in the beginning.
But again, to each his own.

anyome seen the ck3 probe v2 solderless?? what a waste

NO XBMC NO POINT... UNLESS U WET YA PANTS TO THE THOUGHT OF SOLDERING CHIPS TO BOARDS, THE END RESULT IS WHY WE BOTHER TO HACK FIRMWARE & SOLDER BOARDS/CHIPS ECT. SO AGAIN NO XBMC HERE NO POINT DUDES

Yes it is. Lots of these products Maximus and Xecuter put out are a waste and they constantly copy ideas from eachother. I used to be a supporter of xecuter products until I asked a question about the probe 2 on their site and the moderator there was a total asshole. I hate when xecuter lies to their customers, well maybe not lies but they are not straight forward and honest about their product. They claimed the probe 2 was a complete solderless solution, and I wanted them to clarify what they meant because many people would be deceived by this. They were actually trying to deceive the customer, it is "solderless", but you have to cut the traces still, and their "solderless method" is using that silver conductive shit to fix the traces, but that stuff I wouldn't trust over solder. I just wanted them to be straigh forward and honest with their customers because they do not mention that shit to fix the traces when they are advertising preorders. I follow boxxdr's method and its not to difficult.
-
like the nandflasher, no one copied anyone, we just had the same idea at the same time. now paul thinks there is some kind of war, look paul is great at lying in advertising, I will give him that!! He is great at findout out what everyone else has them plying a sceme in advertising that he has the best product in the world and it better and faster and cheaper.
This nandflasher was my endevor, I wanted it made int he USA not china or UK, where YES it could have been made cheaply and we could have gone out there and sold it for $35 instead of $45, but I decided to have it made here in the USA, where I can watch production, see the actual QA go one actually get replacemements for items that dont work.
I will say the NAND-X sure is pretty, I really like there final design look, mainly because it looks so much like mine
but here I am at 5:02 am still testing my new stock of nandflashers, packing everything and sorting them to go out to customers and resellers.

I actually prefer to use the switch - easy to install, switch is there, and it's only a few dollars, so it's easy to pass the cost along w/o fuss.

So what does it mean if I am an idiot who is afraid of screwing up a console by trying to JTAG do these products help make the job much more easier and simple? I am curious.
maybe the quicksolder joints will be easier for the jtag part, but the flashing process is the same. If you're scared, there's plenty of installers here on x-s.

Xbmc is nice , but is not the only fucking reason to mod a 360. How do you know freestyle dash or any of the other homebrew dashes in development won't turn out to be something like XBMC. I guess your right though it's not like you can do anything with it modded
It does alot more than just play burned games now.
As far as the cygnos goes , to whoever was making the comment about it , the big difference is that the cygnos is permanently attached to the motherboard. This can be used on multiple machines. If you are just doing your own and you feel like spending the extra money i say go for it , but if you are doing it for multiple machines daily like i am you need something you can reuse , and my LPT cable is getting beat up after 20 or so xboxes.

When you use this on multiple machines, you simply desolder the two PCBs solder pads? Once you jtag, there is no need to keep anything connected?
Sorry I am new to jtag, but I think with this kit I might try.
EDIT:
Just to be sure... The software and drivers for this will work in Windows 7 x64 correct?

How fast it is ?
I want to know exactly read/write speeds on 16/256/512 versions in seconds.
My LPC-H2148 read/write 16MB for 120sec
xecuter do this faster ?

I dunno, i think its easier to do Boxxdr method. Its faster for me at least.

I dont understand why someone would buy the NAND-X. People that mod 360's for living allready have a usb flasher and people like me that only flash a few consoles can use LPT. Besides that i dont think there will be alot more 360's to exploit in the future. I honestly dont think that team xecuter will make alot of money from this but like ranger said "there's a sucker born every minute" so i could be all wrong

This is actually what I need. I onl have one exploitable 360 and I don't have an LPT1 port. With a comparable price to other USB SPI flashers, I would take this simply because of the support on Xecuter's forum.
However, I am just one person an I do agree the masses will not go for this product.

You really cannot find an old pc on this planet with a LPT port? Im sorry but im not buying that......

i have one j tag console and i use a laptop for all my flashing needs, including lpt. My jtag is connected to a network port that sits under the harddrive, while this looks cool. im not sure i want to desolder my jtag, solder the quck pads, buy and extra set of cables to retro fit my current install. While it would be clean seems like a lot of work.
I can just pick up a home brew spi or off of dyigadget and it will work with my current install.
-
Unfortunately I think its nearing the time where the supply of new JTAG'able consoles have dried up and Xecuter may have missed the boat. Which is why they have priced it accordingly @ £20, the retailer can't be making much at that price!
-
QUOTE(MrFlooD @ Mar 31 2010, 04:40 PM)

Why would you have to de-solder your JTAG? keep the JTAG in place and only install the NAND PCB if you want.
Also your current setup seems to be fine. This product wasn't designed for someone like you.
because i would want to use the quick solders for the cleaner install. yea i know it wasnt designed for some one like me. but i would like to flash faster than the lpt. i was going to build the spi my self but i was lazy. so i rather buy a premade but i dont want to spend more than 15.00 on it. LOL
I just dont care that much.

I never laughed it's called sarcasm , and their is nothing about this mod that is a hassle. I reiterate my first comment XBMC is not the only reason to mod. If people hadn't continued modding when they found out how on the original , XBMC would have never come out. XBMC will never be on the 360 so just forget about it. We will probably see something else pop up that will be able to play media files , it was a few years before XBMC came out on the xbox 1 it wasn't the first thing that happened and some people don't even know about it. The only way it ever would get ported to the 360 is if a group from the scene picked it up and ported it , it is open source so anyone can work on it , but the XBMC team has said they won't be working on a port for it. This is the exact same type of mod that allowed XBMC too run , because it was unsigned. If everyone just said back then well fuck it doesn't have anything to play all my media files with ease i'm not doin that shit , then the scene would have died. what's wrong with keeping your original for Media and your 360 for kickass games. The only difference at this point as far as capabilities of the 2 systems modded is the amount of software available , i'm just glad most people on the scene don't share your opinion or else it would never move forward. Xbox Live is not the only thing to do either , with as cheap as it is too get a 360 now just have 2 of them. Did you ever consider too that some people just like too mod , i mean you are a member here you obviously like modding. Why jump in a random thread just to shoot your mouth off about XBMC not being available? answer...

im pretty sure this isnt solderless. those breakout boards have quick solder pads on them.

I use this method using xellous and its bar far the fastest method i have seen for 256/512..dumps 256mb in 2 minutes...you only need to backup the first 2mb of nand and xellous handles all the bad blocks for you....the cygnos is also nice as it handles bad blocks but if these nandx and maximus tools are just using nandpro then I would consider this to be a waste of money

actually all the people saying why bother when there are loads of people making homemade spi flashers, help out the little guys and buy from them its sooo much cheaper.....I openly asked in the thread when this thing got its name for anyone selling usb spi flashers to inbox me
guess how many "hard working need of support diy usb spi flasher makers" offered to help me out and sell me one......er none so yeah i started by knocking this thing but you know what after seeing that in actual fact people cant be arsed making them and trying to get a bit of cash why shouldnt i buy one of these i need somthing faster than lpt port and these are actually offering them and not just running around crying that people making these themselves should get the cash, if they cant even be bothered to inbox sombody who says "anybody wanting to make a sale on a usb spi inbox me" they dont deserve the money
who cares if people can make them i prefer to actually recieve it than just hear i sell these....i sell these....i sell these, i inboxed one guy and he turned around and said oh yeah post it to me and ill flash it for you, i can already do that thank you very much just wanted a faster device for doin boxes not paying postage to and from you so you can flash it the same as i can at home i need a god damn usb spi flasher i dont have the resources to make one myself so yeah i bought one of these i cba spending hours and hours doing a bunch of boxes when i can get it done in 20 mins......you cant put a price on your time...well you can but i aint gonna miss £20 to save myself a couple of days i would have paid anyone that to make me one so your loss if you could have made a bit of money there
Look on the BST section of the forum. There are 2 main sellers. One in the US and one in Europe.

wake me when we can use it on normal 360's. I don't care for buying an ancient-mew-360 off e-bay

Bit more simple than Maximus'. Still not sure which one I'll end up trying.
Nand-X has 7 quick solder-pads and you're good to go.

On MrModChips they have a notification that all Pre-Order's are final and will not be Refunded for any reason. Not sure though regarding if the Console isn't hackable, but that should be the buyers fault for not checking.

your good to go for read/write only. Still need those diode's to boot xell/xbr
oh and dont forget the optional daughter board they will sell later that is already built into max's nandflasher or and the diode's / resitior option included in nandflasher also.
how is it simplier?? it the same exact install and same exact headers,

Of course they won't refund your money for your own stupidity , but if your CB is not exploitable i am sure someone on here would buy it second hand for a lower price. I will still just be using my own diodes and wires for the Jtag part. The NAND-X looks like it will be less we will see when it finally comes out i may pre-order it if you ever can in the US

QUOTE
Forget fools like that who do zero research on their market. We are Xecuter not some tiny shop with huge ego.
As advertised the NAND-X comes with EVERYTHING. That INCLUDES the JTAG Connection Kit (Which has been tested on all consoles with all variables of resistors and the best quality diodes with maximum success)
What we are selling separately are FURTHER kits if you want to do MORE consoles - and for those who already have a NAND programmer.
NAND-X Is Also updateable and is better quality (as you expect from Xecuter) - not to mention $10 cheap than these other competitors. And $15 cheaper if you pre Order from some stores.
Sorry but you can't beat that - I think you now have your answers my friend and you can quote me too.
Notice the pictures says NAND & JTAG - That means BOTH - We just don't show JTAG in the pictures yet that's all. Its very simple quick solder PCB just like the ones in the pictures - very easy to make and to fit.
That clears it up for me and gives me more respect for someone who doesn't spend their time being immature by flaming other companies products when they know nothing about them.
Don't know how VGC became reputable at all, but I will not be purchasing a single item from that shop because of this crap. I was planning on making my purchase there until I've seen the pathetic posts from the owner. Can't respect someone in Retail if they can't even respect the companies their rivals.

Seriously when it all boils down we end up getting the same results with either products. I for one have ONLY used xecuter products in the past with the xbox 1.
Been outta the game for the past...yea 5+ years, but recently wanting to get back into and starting to do some homework on it. Got many friends who have been hitting me up recently wanting to mod their 360's n such. So for me i'm just trying to figure out what route I should take. (as to what gear i need to get). So if anyone got any suggestions on what stuff I should get PM ME PLEASE don't reply in this thread. Plan on doing about 10 360's a month or so.
oh yea, I busted out my old modding gear from storage this past weekend and found I still got 3 brand new xecuter 2.6 and 1 brand new x3. what am i going to do with them things now.......
oh I only gonna b charging them beer.
lol (US Navy)
