Matrix Glitcher Speed Test and NAND Flasher Posted by XanTium | September 20 13:37 EST | News Category: Xbox360
The Matrix team released a video showing the speed of their Matrix Glitcher RGH modchip and also announced the release of their own NAND Flasher:
Quote
Some people wrote to us asking how quick the Matrix Glitcher is in booting Xell. Here is a video we found on the web. We believe that a third party test done by a professional installer is worth more than a thousand words we could wrote:
The Matrix NAND Programmer is shipping! The first batch of Matrix NAND Programmer has been assembled and is shipping to our resellers. It features a PIC18F2455 microcontroller for stable and quick reading/writing of all NAND models available on the different XBOX360 models. The Matrix NAND programmer is also fully compatible with NANDPRO 2.0e and several other third party programming tools.
Features: * Fast USB SPI 360 NAND programmer. * Fully compatible with all XBOX360 NAND models. * Fully compatible with NandPro2.0e Software and other third party software. * Easily reprogrammable with via USB connector. * Quick reading and writing times. * Microchip based for enhanced stability.

A single boot doesn't say shit... it can boot instantly the first time, and take like a minute the next time.

Pretty much this.
It has a 25% chance to boot instantly. Every other time it will have several seconds delay.

Exactly what I was going to post man.... Would have been better to see a few power cycles to prove it......
And sure you did not know him we believe you

This is kinda like back in 2007 when the kingkong exploit came out now it's only a matter of time when this becomes a jtag:P

On the reseller sites it says the chips are blank and you need a jtag cable. Assuming that would not mean their nand programmer but a whole different cable?

Most likely said to avoid any legal action from Microsoft.. I couldn't see them shipping these blank with the programmer not even yet available.
And as other posters have stated this doesn't show jack. As this uses the exact same components as a C-mod then it will have the same success. My experience is that times vary from 8s to 1m. My first ever boot was 4 secs.. every other boot has been at least 18 secs with the majority of boots between 20 and 30s.

amazing. thats no matrix glitcher thats a COOL RUNNER and look how fast it works like a champ. lol.
its sad but most companies are going to market their product as faster then others when in reality they are all just about the same.

Does anyone see a problem with these statements...
"It features a PIC18F2455 microcontroller for stable and quick reading/writing of all NAND models available on the different XBOX360 models."
* Fully compatible with all XBOX360 NAND models.
Xenon and Falcon come to mind. Glitch doesn't work with Xenon, no HDMI. Current glitch "software" doesn't work with Falcon due to timing.
Per the original Glitch hack posted on 08/28/11...
(expect Xenon, Falcon support will follow later)
The information posted by infinity is misleading without the fine print.
That board is used to read the NAND and not the glitch. The NAND has always been able to be read, but without the CPU key it was kinda useless. Xenons can be jtaged in which you would need to read the NAND, just can't glitch a Xenon. I know it gets confusing with everyone interchanging words and dubbing their own.

quick question, I have a maximus nand flasher and will that work with this matrix glitch chip? I can just dump the nade with my maximus then flash matrix chip with the maximus or I gotta buy the matrix nand flasher too?
also it says I gotta program the chip. does it come with the jtag cable or I need to get that too? assuming a pre programmed chip would be "illegal" with MS code?

Yeah, that would be cool, specially because news just don't stop coming...
But still I'm waiting more is for a true dashboard 4 this glitches, and therefore make it fully J-tagged... Keep Cool

i think its common sense that there is only so much you can do using these boards to increase boot time! using diffent caps 220 270.. a only real increase will be a new jed file for the glitch for all boards
im using a cpld from ebay with a 220pf cap 1st boot was instant but since then ive had everything from 5secs to 5mins im going to give a 270pf a try but im hoping for a jed file with increased boot time from 25%
like others have said its easy to film a few boots then post a video of the fasted so ill stick to what i have...
one thing i would like to know is what the j2c3.2 UART point is used for

wow really? Why should I buy this if I have to program it myself. I should just buy all the parts if I'm going to do that. Asked the guy in the video and he said the user has to program it.

As there are two types of jed files for fat and slim, so the chip must be programmed just before installation. all other chips must be the same.
Bulding a Xilinx program cable is not hard. The diagram is in the released tutorial.

Using a PIC - interesting. Would love to see the schematic for it.
the nand flasher uses a PIC - there are lots of schematics for it. The glitch mod doesnt.

You think the others are going to be like that too? I hope not....a USB Jtag cable goes for 45$....I guess I could build or buy the lpt one but not that many people have access to a lpt port. Looks like Im reviving my old computer. It gives me something to do while my slim is in transit.

I'm expecting they likely will, but allot of these haven't even hit the chain yet for live fire testing. I expect someone will likely make one in the next month or so. Wish these ODD hacks weren't averaging $100.

Well, unless a chip has dual banks, one to glitch the fat and other to glitch the slim, otherwise the end users have to program the chip before installation using the specific jed file.
USB jtag cable is to read /write nand on the xbox not glitch chip. For the glitch chip you need xilinx program cable which is much easier to build. Anyone who can't build that cable is not capable of soldering the glitch chip anyway.

Our videos with the matrix glitcher:
Tested with a different Jasper console:
You can see, the successful booting varies between the two.
Jasper 2: 40 Sec 22 Sec 1 Minute and 5 Seconds 2 minutes and 7 Seconds 30 Sec
Hope this helps.

So that would indicate consistently longer booting times on one console compared to the other, that is what you are saying?!
Was there anything obvious between the 2 consoles that would indicate why? Different manufacture dates, etc.

You have to solder a bridge on the chip for Fat or Slim mode, so I guess both jed files are on the chip.

Do you sell the device to program it? I'd like to buy one if you do. I ordered a Xilinx Parallel CPLD Programming Cable III PC3 XC2C64A off ebay but its coming from china and taking forever.

The Xilinx Jtag cable is a USB/LPT Jtag programming cable. Ill give you a link if you don't believe me. And the cable I was talking about is the LPT version of the Jtag cable. The thing you are thinking about that reads and writes the nand is just a simple LPT nand flasher/reader.
both of those can be used to program the matrix glitcher, but see my problem is that I dont have a readily available LPT port so its either not buy this and wait or go with the 45$ cable. The USB Jtag cable is WAYYYY too hard to make at least at my experience.
if you dont believe that...then look at the matrix glitcher. See the 4 pins on the side? now look at the Jtag programming cables. They both have the same pins, VCC, TDI, TMS, etc.

Hi guys
I did dump the nand xbox 360 slim, we created image_00000000.ecc i wrote, then programmed matrix reset glitch, i install after diagram on the official site, but does not want to slim boot, only black screen. I do not know what to do. Please you can put an installation diagram to see if i made the wrong somewhere? Thx you and I apologize for my bad English

There are no details of it on the site but it's only $12.

is it possible to use a PCI to parellel card? for the programming cable? they are only around 10 dollars at the store.
@geekay - The $12 Digilent one is what I use , you just have to have an open LPT port on your PC and it works great. I wouldn't fork out the money for the USB one unless you would be programming something bigger. You can also look on Ebay for one that is also around $12 and doesn't need you too hook up the DVD power cable to the CPLD to program it. the $12 digilent one does, but it isn't really a hassle.
@katerlad - I do believe that will work fine as it will have direct hardware access.
edit: I misread katerlad's post thought he was asking about LPT to USB adapter. My bad

A pci card is what i used with a diy lpt programmer worked great You just need to look in device manager and check its lpt1 2 or 3 then make sure xlilnk match
