Xecuter CoolRunner – Now Shipping & Installation Images

Xecuter CoolRunner Now In Production + Nand-X Update

As many of you are aware we spent a few extra weeks fine tuning our RGH (Reset Glitch Hack) product – the CoolRunner – to make sure that the design was as optimized as possible (If you have been following our forum updates you will know that went through five different prototypes and pounded the mod in our labs to squeeze out every bug) we could  find. We have completely changed the layout of the design as well as tweaked the install method and also designed some very sweet QSB's for both phat and slim that enable both the CoolRunner and the NAND-X to connect to the Xbox at the same time with minimum effort. Boot times on all versions are fast and rock solid. For those who waited for a non-rushed RGH mod – you will not be disappointed.

The CoolRunner will be complete with all wires required. Each wire is cut to precise lengths and correct gauges and also pre-tinned. It is absolutely necessary to use these as instructed to provide optimum performance

As promised the MSRP is only $19.99 for the Xecuter CoolRunner 🙂 – we expect stores to receive stock in the next 10 days. The Phat and Slim QSB kits will be available to purchase separately.

We don't always post news to our front page so be sure to keep an eye on our support forums where we post daily updates on all our products and developments.

Here is a pic of the final design (Note: its hand soldered not production quality)

Here are some install pics. They are not final, but will show final versions with complete instructions next week.

Xecuter CoolRunner – Phat install with new version QSB for NAND-X/CoolRunner all in one

Xecuter CoolRunner – Slim install with new version QSB for NAND-X/CoolRunner all in one.

We have also designed a simple cable set for the Nand-X and CK3i so that the NAND-X can be updated to Tiros' new NandPro 3 code, giving you the ability to update your CoolRunner using the NAND-X over USB 🙂

Nand-X to CoolRunner JTAG Update Cable

We have also designed an LPT JTAG cable that is based on the official XILINX schematics (not the public homebrew version). This will be available also along with a CK3 to CoolRunner cable to provide power.

For those that want to DIY their Nand-X with NandPro v3 we posted some pin out info here

We would like to once again thank GliGli and Tiros for their hard work and dedication to the homebrew scene.

Here are the boot videos for different models

Xecuter CK3i Officially Launched

Team Xecuter developed the first ever Xbox 360 connectivity kit back in 2006 and although it's success has been imitated, it has never been bettered. We now present the first of the latest upcoming upgrades to the world famous CK3 product range. We have been giving sneak peaks to our upcoming projects over the last few months in our VIP section of the forums, and we are now ready to release the first of our new Fall 2011 product range.

We present to you the successor to the now discontinued CK3 Pro – the all new Xecuter CK3i.

The last few months have seen many changes to how a 360 DVD Drive is powered and manipulated in order to read/write its DVD key and firmware. So much so that it was time for a complete overhaul of how the CK3 worked and to bring it right up to date in order to be ready for whatever 2011/12 had in store.

Now we have tools such as the CK3 Probe 3, it has become clear that RS232 serial is no longer required to extract the drive key. We have also taken all of the technology that had been built into the CK3-CP and embedded all of that into the new CK3i and thanks to our partnership with Jungle Flasher we have been able to completely embed all of the automated functions so that working with 360 DVD Drives is now easier than ever before.

The layout of the entire circuit has also been completely redesigned using the same high end facility that produces the uber successful X360USB PRO and is now more reliable, safer to use and with even more protections in place to safeguard against any errors.

You will also be happy to know that the Xecuter CK3i is released complete with its slick designed case to give extra protection and to give it a quality design that is not just on the inside but on the outside too.

You don't have to wait either. In true Apple style and in honor of the late, great Steve Jobs, The Xecuter CK3i is on sale from TODAY at selected stores for only $39.95 ! (XCONSOLES.COM: http://www.xconsoles.com/xecuter-ck3i.html)

Xecuter CoolRunner: New Nand-X Addon for Reset Glitch Hack

MOLEXT – Official Review + $5 Off Coupon Inside !!

Thanks to XCONSOLES for providing this

Been using mine all week – works REALLY well.

The batteries do drain quite a bit faster when using eject (12v) however I don't have to use eject that much so its no biggy. Most flashing operations these days use 5v.

I also used a cigarette lighter pass thru dc adapter and works great in the car flashing (no need to take the batteries out either like it suggests on the packaging).

Always worth keeping a spare set of batteries to hand. Only negative is that there is no recharge circuit but you can always have your own recharger to hand they are cheap enough (even tho the amps will be less with a rechargeable battery).

I use Procell batteries and bought them from xconsoles – very cheap and are made by Duracell so last quite well.

The switches are perhaps labeled a little ambiguously but once you know what they do its easy enough.

Operation with 2 x 9V batteries loaded:
– Power ON: SWITCH to BAT.
– Power OFF: SWITCH to AUX
– Battery power detected: (Green: good, Orange: middle power, Red: Low power)
(1) Battery icon switch to ON: Power level detect enabled and 2 LED beside battery will be shown on.
(2) Battery icon switch to OFF: Power level detect function off (saves battery life)

Operation with AUX power (Car power adapter)
– Power ON: switch SWITCH to AUX
– Power OFF: switch SWITCH to BAT.

The LED on molex port is telling ppl the power of the port is ON or OFF at that time. Green LED is Battery – Blue LED is AUX pass-thru power.

Total Power OFF would be AUX Switch to ON and Battery Level switch to OFF (Should be no LED's at all)

PROS:
+ Works exactly as advertised.
+ High quality design and build
+ Battery level indicators very accurate
+ Includes molded Molex to Molex cable
+ Works really well with CK3
+ AC/DC pass thru is great if you are low on batteries and have no other molex PSU.
+ Comes with a bonus USB charging cable (charges my Galaxy S2 great!) – nice surprise as this wasn't advertised in the original specs

CONS:
– No recharge circuit
– Batteries drain faster when using eject (however – as expected)
– USB Charging cable doesn't work with ipods / iphones – however we are told that a specific designed cable for Apple products is being released shortly.

Overall its very well made and very professional.

I give this a solid 4.5/5

New Jungle Flasher, New Firmware, New SPUTNIK Unlock

A busy week !

• We have collected all of the bug reports surrounding the last release of Jungle Flasher and they have all now been fixed and are in testing as we speak.

• New versions of the 0272 firmware have also been found and this will address the issues some of you are having with Open DVD / Play DVD errors. be patient.

• The new AP2.5 challenges have been captured and there are differences which we can work with. Expect news soon.

SPUTNIK360

Thanks to some Russian guys, there has been a trace cut / solder backdoor hack discovered for unlocking the SPI status of DG-16D4S MXIC chipsets – kudos to those guys and thanks for opening some previously unseen doors. Unfortunatley most of the drives are Winbond, but this is a great platform to start from.

Naturally we will move this to the next level and have branded this the SPUTNIK360 hack in honor of our Russian colleagues. We are currently working on the more "in the wild" Winbond version with a number of well known associates.

The latest Jungle Flasher (with the bug fixes) also includes full support for SPUTNIK360 SPI LOCK / UNLOCK hack together with the X360USB PRO, so there will be no need for extra 3rd party software and you can be assured of full compatibility with the quality that you have come to expect from Team Xecuter and Team Jungle.

We will keep you updated…..
