Free60 JTAG/SMC XeLL Hack for Falcon Motherboards

A version of the Free60 JTAG/SMC Hack has been released for Falcon (v3) motherboards. This modified NAND image will boot your Falcon Xbox360 right into XeLL (which allows you to boot linux distros or run libxenon homebrew software) - just like the Xenon version released a few weeks ago.
Update: this version of the hack also works on Opus (v3.1) motherboards.

From the readme:

Finally the Falcon JTAG Hack is here

This is newest XELL (compiled 05.10.09) inserted into 5770 Falcon-Kernel.

Don't wonder about the Filesize, its correct like that. It just flashes the beginning of the NAND so your console specific data like MAC adress will stay.

Of course you should have a working backup of your NAND before you proceed.

Just flash with:
* LPT
nandpro lpt: -w16 falcon_hack.bin 0
* USB
nandpro usb: -w16 falcon_hack.bin 0

Score!!!

Finally we can recover DVD keys and run homebrew on Falcon consoles!

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to the development of Free60/Xell.

Where do I find out how to extract the key from the MB then. I have a console "Falcon" no RROD history, Benq drive where some dumb ass didn't extract the key and just went ahead and erased....

Awesome, I can finally have an HDMI jap xbox now
Now I just need to figure out how to transfer my XBL DLC from my jap non hdmi box to the new HDMI one, without updating them on XBL. Any ideas?

Here's the closest tutorial I could find for DVD key recovery: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=690640

NOTE: For the JTAG part and Xell part make sure you use the JTAG ports and Xell hack for the Falcon motherboard instead of the Xenon.

Great news, maybe im wrong but I think there might be a lot more people out there willing to do this with Falcons.

Didn't expect to see a connection to the ring of light board!

I have an Jasper eagerly waiting for this hack if and when released. Hopefully by time it is released for Jasper even more code will have been written for the 360

This is amazing work
