nice, can update to this xell using the new usb update feature?

[drkoolbeanz]

Anybody want to take a stab at explaining what these updates do?

looks like it ? (usb stick with file called updxell.bin)

 line 315 in src code

so.. I'm a bit confused.. maybe this is a stupid question.. do we flash this to the nand with like the other xells?
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..

let me clear this up.

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.

SD Master == StdDef TV, NOT sd card, which I kept thinking [didn't make sense, still thought it though...]. Thanks for clearing that up.

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.]

if you play on live you will break the xell exploit, even with dual nand.
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...]

Best thing to do would be pickup a 2nd hand xbox then keep one for homebrew and one for xbl.

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?

[majinsoftware]

your xell is to old.
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.

[theevilhacker63]

just a quick question.. why do I have to flash back my original nand dump? and the only  "xenon_1921_hack.bin" I can find is inside a rar called well  "xenon_1921_hack.rar" but it's date is 29/8/09 is that it?

[theevilhacker63]

skip that I just read the info file for the 1921.bin... it's so my mac address and related stuff remains the same..

Ok flashing my original back now.. lets see if this work.
