Problem here with an Arcade

[[email protected]]

I got the cpu key. And it decrypts in the info tool.

Now I wanted to do it like in your manual you sent me two weeks ago

1. Copy "XBR_fb.bin" to a separate new folder.
2. Open this "XBR_fb.bin" in 360 Flash Dump Tool 0.94 and extract its SMC through it. You will now get two new files, "SMC_enc.bin" and "SMC_dec.bin".(Remember to insert your CPU Key in the program to confirm if you have the correct Key)
3. Delete the "SMC_enc.bin". Rename the "SMC_dec.bin" to "jasper.bin".
4. Now do a fresh install of the Jtag Tool 1.74 into a separate new folder. Uninstall if you have it already and install it again.
5. There is a folder named "SMC" in the Jtag Tool installation folder. Open it and copy the "jasper.bin" you got above to this "SMC" folder. It will ask you to overwrite the file already present there...Just overwrite it with the one you got above in the 3rd step.
6. Open this newly installed Jtag Tool from the its installation folder.
7. Insert your CPU Key in it and select "Create .Bin". It will ask for your original NAND dump. Select it. It will then create a freeboot image for you. Name it "fb1_smc.bin" and save it.
8. Select "Write .Bin" from Jtag Tool and select "fb1_smc.bin". It will then freeboot to your NAND.
9. After the writing has been completed, do a power cycle and then turn your Xbox360 on.

Problem is JTAG Tool crashes because it cannot copy the jasper512.bin into a folder. And so the SMC won't be written anywhere in the .bin, I think.

I now used freeboot_Toolbox_Maker24 to create a freeboot but that program seems not to work, too. After I flashed the created freeboot the box starts and gives me again the black screen.


Also I can measure the red wire and get around 15 at 20k Ohms. The yellow wire is the one i cannot measure anymore even from point a to b direct on the wire.

O2N1 is a little bit burned. I have the leg of the transistor? (or is it something else) but this leg has no connection to the board anymore. The pad is burned up. So maybe the diode is damaged because i can't measure anything there?

If XeLL worked and you got your CPU Key, then the connections are fine.

Now, since Jtag Tool doesn't work with 256/512 MB NANDs, the only option you are left with is to make the freeboot image manually. Plus, its the best way you can make a freeboot image, so its better that way.

So, go to Xbins and get freeboot 0.032 and use the readme make the freeboot image for yourself. As for the SMC file that you will need during the process, the best way to get it is by dumping your NAND in the current condition which is booting XeLL and then extract the SMC out of it.

I am pretty sure you won't have any problem following the freeboot instructions, but still, if you have any question, be sure to clear it up.

12 hours so far in this thing.

I don't find the build.py (in the cygwin dir is one but without the secret_bl1)
I don't find the the jasper_hack.bin in the dir

The freeboot creator from jjmpsp won'T work either because he doesn'T recognize 512mb (just over the cmdline and here is the problem with the build.py and the hack.bin and and and and and.




When I use Freeboot toolbox with this pig in it and I read in 360 flashdump tool 6bl and 7bl are 0 and they should be 9199. So i cannot flash this, too.





I began, again at 0.

Made the xbr_smc.bin and flashed it. Guess what ... BLACK SCREEN. No XELL, No Dashboard.

Looked at the solderpoints and they are good. Except for the lost pad on q2n1. The leg is intact. Just the contact to the board seems not to be there anymore! See pics






I don't want to remove the yellow wire because I'm scared to rip the leg off, too!


Originalnand runs fine, too.










Where's the problem?

I cannot build freeboot.
The Box has the blackscreen again.



------------------

I created another freeboot with the program freeboot_toolbox_maker24.

After I created the .bin I put it in the SMC and patched the SMC.

Wrote it back and ... Black screen.

When I press the eject button ... XELL appears

That's one good step I think

But why is it not booting into the dashboard? Is it because I got nothing in the 6bl and 7bl?

Why don't you leave freeboot toolbox and create a freeboot image manually? Its easier and works 99.99% of the time. The only hard part is that you have to use CMD, but even that isn't really hard.

So, go to Xbins and get freeboot 0.032 and use the readme to make a freeboot image for yourself. As for the SMC file that you will need during the process, the best way to get it is by extracting it from an original XeLL image and then modify it using SMC I/O.

Well after another stoking 6 hours I did the freeboot with the jtagtool. I had to rename some files and after that it created me my image which works, finally.

I love to made my own freeboot but I did not find some files like the build.py with the secret_bl1 line and the hack.bin files.

So are you saying that you used the modified smc file in Jtag tool smc default folders and created a freeboot image after all?

 

[[email protected]]

Yes and it seems to work.

But there is another problem now.

My Dolby Digital output is jumping from Digital to normal so that I got stuttering sound. That is not so good at all.

Also the XBOX1 Emulation crashes at the white xbox screen and does nothing. No guide button works. Its just a plain crash of the box.

I told you from the start to create freeboot using the short method instead of going through XBR. At least you finally done it.

When creating Freeboot in Jtag Tool, which box did you tick? The Edit MEM or XBOX1 compatibility? cause they are reversed by mistake (programming bug). So if you want XBOX1 compatibility you got to tick the mem edit option.

final_with_XboxDamn, I ticked the XBOX option.

Now I have to open the damn thing again and flash another one or is there a tool to flash the box from within?

And this sound problem via optical audio. Is there a solution to have 5.1 sound?

 

[manwithoutname]

Damn, I ticked the XBOX option.

You'll have to open it I'm afraid .

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Will this nightmare never end. Time to jump outta the window.

 

[M AzeeM K]

You used my tutorial to change the JTAG points. In my tutorial, the yellow JTAG point connects to Q2N1(AUD_CLAMP), which is related to Optical Audio Output. Therefore, you're having problem with your Audio Output.

I have mentioned this already in my Tutorial. Seems like you didn't read it completely.

 

[manwithoutname]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Will this nightmare never end. Time to jump outta the window.

Please send me all your xbox's and tools before you do so

Enough kidding, lets stay on topic ..

You might want to leave a permanent connection/wiring to the NAND-X like I do with all my boxes!!!

And thats the next strange thing. On another xbox this optical problem is not present.

Will the problem vanished if i use HDMI to get dolby digital?

Yeah Ofcourse. I actually made this tutorial for people who wanted to use anything related to HDMI on a Jtagged Xbox360

Damn and now I need a new Receiver.

what's with this flashing via xellous? Can I write the newly patched nand with this option?

 

[[email protected]]

Well I found Flash360 and tried it. The flashing worked. XBox1 doesn'T work. Same as with the other option!

Also can someone of you two can point me a bit in the direction that I can make my own freeboot images without using these tools.

As I said yesterday there are some thing that I cannot find which are written in the readme of freeboot.

 

[manwithoutname]

You can use either iHc or Easy Freeboot for making Freeboot images.

Did you install the hacked Xbox1 files onto your Xbox360 HDD? If not, then then install them and try running the Xbox1 game again.

 

[[email protected]]

Installed them and tried to let it run.

Still the white xbox screen with no action. No button works. The eject button brings me not back to the dash. I have to shut down the box completly.

Could you test if it works properly on your box?

--------------------

If I use the IHC Tool. where should I put the extracted SMC file to let it be injected in the image?
