Party Buffalo Drive Explorer v1.0.0.6 Beta
>> CLK Rebellion released a new beta of the open-source Party Buffalo Drive Explorer that will allow you to access Xbox360 formatted drives/usb-sticks/bins:
[QUOTE]
Here's 1.0.0.5. Still no writing support for the standalone exe, but you can download the source and compile that with the "IsBeta" bool in the main form set to false (be careful, that form is very messy!)
Changelog (v1.0.0.5):
-Fixed a bug with a reading function that liked to read more bytes than it should
-Made it so that it should request administrator permissions at startup (should fix some people's issues...)
-Added the reading of general STFS info, as you can see from this screenshot: http://imgur.com/neMr6.png
-Added a "properties" window for files
-Other small bug fixes that I can't remember
Changelog (v1.0.0.6):
* Fix Bug when clicking the DATA folder
Buffer = io.ReadBytes(0x2050);
That's lovely... I have no idea why I chose a number like like that...
I also messed up on a rounding function, and instead of putting 0x200 I put 200. Pushing out 1.0.0.6 right now.
* Oh yeah, 1.0.0.6 has a minor edit to how it detects USB Drives. I forgot the function that returns a list of logical drives, so I did a char array and had it loop through each, detecting if the drive "IsReady", and if it wasn't then it would throw it away. Hopefully this works better...

Xecuter: X360USB PRO Update, xDrive Plus and xFan Cooling System
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
* Xecuter X360USB PRO Update
It’s been a very busy week of testing with the recently announced X360USB PRO device. We can confirm that various members of the scene including Team Jungle have received working samples to help make this the ultimate affordable hardware aid for 360 DVD Firmware from beginners right through to advanced users.
Team Jungle reported to us this morning that they absolutely love the device and are 100% committed to fully supporting it. As Jungle Flasher is the most advanced, secure and feature rich 360 Firmware Tool available we are also committed to enhancing the features of the X360 USB PRO to make sure that every eventuality is covered.
There is still a very nice part of the hardware that we have not disclosed that will truly make it a true multi-function device, but what we have added this week is the ability to upgrade its firmware for future expansion and further enhancement with Jungle Flasher. Oh, did we forget to mention that amongst the new goodies the X360 USB PRO can do, it can dump the 360 Slim 9504 DVD fw and key ? ;)
Here is the latest scan of the X360 USB PRO device. In the immortal words of Michael Jackson we’re “Working Day and Night” so much more to come………
There are few case designs that we are debating. here’s the the favorite so far…..
* Xecuter xDrive Plus & xFan Xbox 360 Cooling System!
We are please to announce the release of our new Xbox 360 cooling system – its a really radical design, nothing like this has been tried before. Check out the temperatures !!!
That GPU drop alone will help resurrect MANY Hitachi / Samsung / JTAG systems that RROD with high temps. This KILLS the temperature gains of the other fan based cooling systems on the market.
Both kits are shipping to resellers next week – more details will follow soon.
xDrive Plus RRP: $69.95
xFan Upgrade Kit RRP: $39.95

Maximus iXtreme LT+ UART Enable Patch for LiteOn
>> Maximus released an UART Enable Patch for C4E's iXtreme LT+ FW for LiteOn drives on psx-scene.com that will allow you to read the DVD-key again on LiteOn drives flashed with LT+ without having to cut/repair extra traces.
From the README/NFO:
[QUOTE]
WHAT IT IS:
Silly patch to re-enable the READ KEYS OVER SERIAL On LT+
This will save you from having to do (or re-do) the cuts on the drives or also will save you of being FORCED to install board clips of any kind on your drive to do later reads. (of course if its a 83V2 or 93 stock drive you still need do cuts the first time)
Since the releases are based on the 93450 its possible with a really quick patch re-enable that functionality. It should work for all LT+ releases of liteon as all are based on the 93450 fw.
Please note will not work on non-93450 based firmwares.
HOW TO APPLY
a) Prepare your LT+ file (with the spoof, keys, etc) but dont flash it just yet.
b) Open LT+ file with ppf-o-matic and apply the attached ppf file.
c) After ppf applied just flash your drive and you will have later the option to read keys over the UART port (just like old Liteon 74) using spear or Usbxtractor, whatever
Alternatively you can also patch the template files to avoid doing each time. If JF complains about opening the patched firmware just use an older (without restrictions) version or better use dosflash
Thanks to geremia for the firmware descrambler. The software is being distributed with an "I dont care" license so use at your own risk.
[/QUOTE]
*Update* C4Eva said on IRC (#fw) the patch is "less secure", Maximus (carranzafp) said it's as safe as the unpatched LT+ - you decide.
[c4eva on #FW] btw, avoid the mamimus patch for lt+,less secure!
[carranzafp via forums] The hack is as safe as LT+ can be, if we remember a bit the 93450 had the uart serial removed with simple hex edit, so this just revert back the functionality doing the same.
Unless of course the console had a small hand and put a probe on the spot by itself to check if its enable. Wich is not likely happen

XexTool v6.0 and Xex Loader for IDA v6.0
>> XorLoser released a new version of XexTool:
[QUOTE]
I have been meaning to update this site for a while, and also to release updates for XexTool and the Xex Loader for IDA. So over the weekend I finally got around to doing so.
For those who don’t know, XexTool is a windows command line tool that gives info on every aspect of an Xbox360 xex file. It also extracts the file that the xex is based on (usually an exe file) and has the ability to alter most of the various flags and parameters set inside an xex file.
What's new/fixed:
* finally fixed the patching ability where the target file is smaller than the source file. hopefully it is fixed properly :)
* fixed handling of bitfields in version structs (only affected big endian systems)
+ added support for natal/kinect related flags
+ added support for xex date restrictions
+ added support for xex console id restrictions
+ added support for xex device id restrictions
+ added support for xex keyvault privileges restrictions
+ added support for extra debug memory entry
+ added support for a few new xex flags and system partitions
The IDA loader for XEX files enables you to directly load an xex file into the IDA disassembler in order to look at what the internal code is doing. This is extremely useful for developers and reversers. If you don’t know what IDA is or what this loader does, then this tool isn’t for you. :)

abgx360 v1.0.4
>> With the release of C4E's iXtreme LT+ for LiteOn and BenQ drives with 'anti'-AP2.5 the guys over at abgx360 also released a new version of their software.
What's new/fixed:
* AntiPiracy 2.5 (AP25) replay sector for iXtreme LT+ firmware is checked for when a game has the AP25 system flag in the Xex set or when its media ID matches a list updatable through abgx360.dat (Fable III is the only game so far that uses AP25 but does not have the AP25 system flag set)
* AP25 replay data is Verified/AutoFixed according to your settings, albeit separately from the normal INI based Verify/AutoFix, so make sure to read the entire abgx360 output
* Video padding size changed to support the new AP25 replay sector using a variable which is updatable through abgx360.dat in case additional stealth sectors are needed so that the video padding check will not blank them out
* Removed short explanations of ISO filesizes (unnecessary, hard to keep updated and misleading in terms of SplitVid; just because an ISO has the space for SplitVid doesn't mean it has valid SplitVid data in that space)
* gzip compression is now supported when abgx360 downloads certain files
* miscellaneous small changes
* Note: The GUI has not been changed and will still display version 1.0.2, don't worry about it as long as the CLI app displays v1.0.4

Xecuter X360 USB Pro - All Version 360 DVD to USB
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
What a busy day it’s been for the scene :) We have been working very hard on a number of products these last few months, one in particular that we have been very excited about. You may have read our news the other day that one of of our more popular products had been copied in China. We hear today that another group are releasing a product whose vague description sounded strikingly similar to ours. As this is a cat and mouse business these days we figured that we’d let this particular cat out of the bag and give you a sneak peak at one of the big products we have been working on these last couple of months.
The Xecuter X360 USB PRO – The World’s first ALL 360 DVD to USB Adapter!
As part of the team who are extensively involved in the programming of DVD firmware, we have been able to develop the most stable and solid 360 DVD to USB converter that you could ever possibly wish for. Gone are the days of Sata cards and disabling VIA drivers and messing around with x64 issues. Simply plug in your drive to your USB port and go. Supports all Hitachi, Samsung, Benq & Liteon DVD Drives ! Finally this is now open to all from beginners to hard core enthusiasts.
The prototypes we have been working with are obviously very roughly made – but we are about a week or so away from a final test prototype and production should begin soon. There will also be custom software which is also in development.

C4E's iXtreme LT+ for LiteOn and BenQ
>> C4E released the iXtreme LT+ modified FW for ("phat") LiteOn and BenQ DVD-drives:
[QUOTE]
Official release of C4E's iXtreme LT+
- Supports Benq and Liteon Drives (74850, 83850V1, 83850V2, 93450)
- Optimized PFI code to accommodate AP25 SS data
- Defeats current AP25 protection
- Protects console from logging AP25 violation
- Full disc stealth used by default
- Waveless booting, disc images are assumed to be correct!
- Split-Vid used as default
If booting an AP25 title without AP25 SS game will not boot but will still be protected from logging AP25 violation on current dash 2.0.12611.0
If LT+ encounters an unknown AP25 challenge, game will not boot but console will still be protected from logging AP25 violation on current dash 2.0.12611.0
AP25 SS are region specific for region locked games (Current Example NFS: Hot Pursuit is both PAL and NTSC - 2 different AP25 Patches)
If you boot the AP25 titles without LT+ you will probably be flagged for a ban.
You cannot spoof a different model drive as that can now be detected. With this release of LT+ you HAVE to have an original Benq or Liteon.
LT+ for slim 9504 is next followed by LT+ for slim 0225
Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process.
Thanks go to Team Xecuter for their generous support and input to this project.

Blue Bars - IDA Pro Script for xboxkrnl.exe
>> 'uf' released 'Blue Bars' - a script for developers to make it easier to open the 360 kernel/hv binary in IDA Pro:
[QUOTE]
* what it is
an ida pro (5.5 or later) script to make loading xboxkrnl.exe easier.
basically, you just open xboxkrnl.exe as a binary, set to ppc, base 0, load script, sit back and enjoy the show.
you'll end up with an easy to disassemble hv+kern (you know those nasty jump tables? this script patches them to branch immediately.)
problems finding routines? no more! everything's labeled to death!
trouble with those damn different bases? no more, you have both hv and kernel in one ida window, with different bases too ;)
want to add code? press g and enter "EOS_.text"
add data? you know the drill.

XM360 v2.0d
>> Node21 (Team XeDev) now released XM360 v2.0d to the public, a tool running on homebrew 360s that will allow to organize, scan and unlock XBLA and DLC content.
What's new/fixed (since last public rls - v2.0a):
* Fixed Server crashing on DLC update (missing data in the marketplace)
* Added Custom FTP command "FREE" which will dump the size/used/free for each mounted device
* Added status line information when remote ftp clients are connected, and transfering
* Found and fixed big bug in xm360server that was preventing all DLC from being recognized.
* Unfortunately, this means that entering the DLC scene in xm360 now takes up to 10 full seconds to process the data.
* Some status messages have moved to a message box (since they disappeared in 2.0b)
* Fixed issue which was causing the xbla_excludes.csv file to not always be written
* Fixed seemingly never ending message boxes that I broke in 2.0c
* Changed format of XBLA and DLC reports to include Utf8, and proper quoting
