JungleFlasher to fully Support Xecuter x360USB PROPosted by XanTium | February 2 22:27 EST | News Category: Xbox360 |
| |
From jungleflasher.net:
The JungleFlasher Team are proud to annouce we have been embedding full support for the upcoming XECUTER X360USB PRO. This it the most exciting thing to happen on the flashing scene since JF hit the scene over 2 years ago.
The neat device will simplify flashing for all users. It integrates seemlessly into JF. It shows as I/O port 0x0000, nothing else changes, everything else works as it always does.
The real advantage as we see it: * Compatibilty: one device, not 1000's of different vendors. * Support: it works, if you have issues, it has been seen before. * Installation: Plug it in, ta dah, you're ready. * Interoperability: works on all current windows OS, signed drivers, no messing. * Portability: you can take it with you, it's tiny, smaller than a credit card.
This device has been a pleasure to work with. We couldn't have done it better ourselves.

Yup I second that.

Anyone wanna bet that you won't be able to load the slim firmware if you don't have an X360USB Pro attached?
-
I'm still curious if this piece of hardware is required to write to the 9504 & 0225 drives! I am putting my money on yes!!!

Good job c4eva good job. No one suspects you are holding crap because of money.

So does this power the drives too or do we still need to use the connectivity kit/console?

Great looking device but....
WHY DON'T THESE THINGS HAVE A/C POWER ADAPTERS
It may be easy to connect via USB now but I'm willing to guess that most people are still going to need to open their PC's go get molex power for a CK3 (or equivalent) or use the 360 for power. Also, 65$ is a little too pricey, oh well. At least its good to see the modding scene still evolving and conquering the slim drives.

Can I take you all up on these bets? Say, $/£/€ 100 each?

9504 write has already been done, Tarablinda.

No, this runs off of usb (5v) the drive requires 12v. You cant use it to power drives.

To be accurate, you can read, erase and write firmware to all current drives (excl. Hitachi v79) using a 5v supply. I've done so on many an occasion. 12v is only needed for motor functions, such as laser, spindle and snake drive.
Obviously not a desirable solution, but handy if you're caught short (like I was) and your external molex PSU goes kaput

Ok, this is something that drives me crazy to understand.....
Does this mean the methods to read firmware/keys from drives are the same?
Meaning that we still need to use SPEAR or VAMPIRE with XTRACTOR in my case to read liteon drives?
I still don't fully understand the true use of this device :S is it like portable SATA port to flash drives?
Sounds good for laptop users, but for Desktop user knowing you al ready have these tools.. this makes it... USELESS.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
-
<--- Desktop user, will still be buying one.
-
<--- Desktop user, will not be buying one,dont fix what aint broke!
But if i was new to it then yes maybe.
-
Kinda sucks that it doesn't have a connectivity kit built in, so that you can use one of these PSU's with it, to power the drive.

I suggest to read the countless posts scattered across the web where people have driver issues with VIA SATA devices, as well as those who can't / won't install a VIA PCI card. Because it's USB, every machine is compatible. I've a laptop with a working config and I'm even tempted into getting one, though the price is a sticking point ATM.

Yes.
You need a spear or vampire or homemade device to do Liteon 7series drives still, you need to do MRA/Boxxdr method or use on of those shitty Xecuter LT switch/clip boards or Probe 2 to do Liteon 8v2 or 93450s.
This would be good for desktop or laptop users. Just because you have onboard compatibility or a VIA card doesn't mean everyone does. I use a laptop and a PC to flash drives. Both can flash 100% any drive. I have no problems with my hardware, though some people have driver issues and such so this will be better for them.

I said that because he said QFT about the guy saying that the Slim firmware will appear when this is released and then goes to say he believes C4e isn't holding out for money, which contradicts the other guys comments. I assume he thinks it means quit fucking talking/trolling like many people think.

I can flash everything except older hitachi with my setup (VIA6421).
So I'm getting one just so I don't have to deal with that headache anymore...

I think you need to re-tune your sarcasm detector 
He actually does think c4eva, and by association, Team Jungle, are holding back the firmware, in order to boost sales of the x360USB PRO.

QUOTE(mr-crix03 @ Feb 3 2011, 04:39 PM)

No one needs to hold back anything to boost sales, this will sell quite well on it's own, once tried and understood, ease of use is a understatement. It will benefit the full and part time modder alike.

Agreed.

Im not here to point fingers at anyone, but it wouldnt suprise me if the new drives firmware was being tested with the new device before they release it, so that could be why they havent brought it out yet, thats my 2 pence anyway, also ive heard the slim 360 has new built in protection for flashed drives and they are finding ways around it, i think it would stink if the new firmware comes out a week after this device does though :-)
I just read this on mrmodchips site :-) Compatible with Xbox 360 DVD drives Hitachi, Samsung, Benq & Liteon (FAT)
Compatible with Xbox 360 DVD drives Liteon & Hitachi (SLIM)
Must of done a fair bit of testing to say its compatible with both slim drives, also does compatible just mean , ( might dump key if your lucky!) or full read and write ? because if its full read and write im laying money down straight away for one

As already stated, compatible simply means it will detect the drives. We already know that the Lite-on 9504 is a simple read and write with no extra tools but we dont know what will be involved in flashing the 0225 or the Hitachi 0500.

No takers on my bets then.

No because you have inside info.

I'll tak you up on that bet.. The firmware has been rumored for
Feb and this will be released in Feb. I see why it could be profitable to hold off. If the firmware was out
Before their product, most people would Probably already have flashed their drive and might not want to buy this. Just a theory though, they are working "closely" together.
-
If no eta is a rumour of feburary, I've went wrong somewhere in life.
So, what currency are we talking?
@Ranger - No inside information, I know nothing about LT+ for slims, no more than you.
However, Ive 2 working prototypes of the x360usb pro
One is in my hands with an eta, the other isnt with no eta.
I'm quietly confident in my backing of fw not releasing with this, on probability alone.
Logic prevailing?

I'm not a betting man but i'm pretty sure the release dates wont be far off, i'd be very shocked if the firmware is released before the 360USB

QUOTE(ddsdavey @ Feb 3 2011, 08:42 PM)

Totally agree although i do dispise that god awful team Xecuter site.Its all about money lol!
You cant even go into the forum without being forced to read a thread about yet another product coming.And dont even dare to criticize anything they make or they go mental,i mean MENTAL!
I have bought alot of there products over the years but that site does absolutely nothing for there customer relations/image
And why do they insist on like 19 pre manufacture news updates on design changes,additions etc.Just release it for christ sake!
If they are the face of commercial modding then it aint a pretty one imo!?
Well that forum is a support forum for products - so of course its about money its a BUSINESS. By the looks of it you are a full time modder so are you saying its not about money for yourself ? You are another one of those sceners who simply trolls and talks shit. Did it occur to you there are THOUSANDS of users who like regular updates? If you don't like them, just fucking ignore them, yeah?
If there were no updates, people would bitch where the updates are, as in all good businesses and successful partnerships, communication is key - Xecuter are constantly informing people that they are progressing steadily with this device, adding new features, improving support, speed and reliability of the device. This is a good thing, not a bad thing.
You don't like the forums, huh ?
Is that only when you're not trying to win $1000 in the 'Nand-x' naming competition or trying to get something for nothing
?
Maybe only when you're seeking help?
You're only as good as other's tools and software allow you to be, you have no real place to criticise a god-damn thing.

The only issue I have with the whole slim fw crap, is that we all are waiting for c4eva, only him.
I don't know if Geremia (the only one who did make a single fucking open step with the slim still) is the side holding the truth when he says there is no way C4eva will be able to write the fw back into the 0225's and that hes fucked up for the previous ones thats why he did not release a slim fw yet even for the 94's. Or, if team X really got their hands into c4evas job, because if they did it is obvious he will delay the fw release until the shit usb crap tool is released. Otherwise we all would have our 0225's and 94's flashed all over already and would not buy crap from teamX.
Anyway, it sux that c4eva is the only one doing it, I wish I was able to work on fw's but life didnt give me that gift, or even time to dedicate to it. Seriously, the whole ps3 cfw/homebrew scene is progressing like it is right now because theres many working on it, not a single fucking dude that can be easily controled by a team of greed bastards.
I can say all the crap I want about team X btw, have a game store near Paraguay and I ressold over 100k of their products the past years, but holding the fw is gay and stupid. The Xbox's scene is gay right now unless you have a damn jtag. : /

Why don't you be thankful for those who have contributed and made the scene what it is. Seems as though you've done nothing but profit from it and yet you bitch and complain.

Can someone help me Im a noob! Please I'd appreciate it!
My cousins who regular flashes my Lite-on drive, lives far away and its a pain shipping my xbox back and forth for firmware updates. I have a laptop and this would work perfect for me! He says I have a Lite-On 7350c, but I never heard of it.
My question is, if I get this x360USB PRO, will I need anything else? I'm reading that I need a connectivity kit? I'm just wondering If I need anything else besides the usb pro itself? Please reply back!

Say what ? I'm the dumb fuck, roffle.
2. That was a 74850c in the slim, spoofed. That console no longer plays backups, something about fwcrt.bin or new protection in slim checking parts of the fw, I guess 
3. Maybe, just maybe he isnt holding back - This might actually be a big challenge to overcome, maybe, just mye MS added new protection when redisgning their console ... Nah, cant be that, surely... c4's holding back
4. Did I say you said they'll be released together? No, but i know their releases arent reliant on each other....
My money is on slim fw taking alot longer than 28 days, and for that reason.... I'll win the bet.
What currency again?
BRB.... JF & x360usb pro to test.....

I'll take 100 of any currency, I'm not fussy.
All profit to me ...
thats what its all about, right

haha, Enjoyed reading this topic. Ive already pre-ordered my x360USB PRO. makes no diffrence about slim f/w if its not possible still big respect to C4E and team for trying. This product means i can throw out my old pentium4 i use just for drive updates and use my quad core without any hassle. Too many haters and not enough lovers in the 360 scene.

I have removed some posts that were flaming this topic. I have given warnings to members for doing so.
If you want to discuss the x360USB Pro, then by all means do so.
This isn't a Team Xecutor or C4E bashing site or thread. Any more flaming, bashing will result in warnings and or banning.
This was an announcement for the release of a product. All else is speculation.
Watch your language. There is no need for profanity in your posts.
