Xecuter CoolRunner – Now Shipping and Installation Images
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
Here are the final production images of the Xecuter CoolRunner.
Shipping has now begun to resellers and will be on sale at Only $19.99 from all TX resellers. get your orders in now ready for delivery next week !
We are also working hard on getting the Phat and Slim QSB’s, the CK3 Pro/CK3i to NAND-X Update cable, NAND-X to CoolRunner USB JTAG Cable ready to ship in the next week also.
Kit includes pre cut and pre tinned wires sets for both the Phat and Slim models. These are all optimum lengths and gauges. We have also included a Genuine TX Product hologram sticker to attach to your case so you can show off that you have the real deal and not some cheap knock off :)
The Wires bundle to the left is for slim. Includes the 50CM extra length for the CPU_RST line. The bundle to the right is for the phat models.
Here are some install pics. They are not final and the colors are different to what will be shown in the final retail pack. We 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.
Note the longer wire on CPU_RST. The signal is 20ns wide and goes from 1.2v to 0.7v and the SMC holds it up real hard, probably some JTAG protection strategy by MS. This is why many different RGH mods have had trouble with the Slims. The wire included is cut to the length that we have found to be optimum after a LOT of testing. The benefit of having a nice expensive scope to work with ;)

Rawflash v3
>> cOz released Rawflash v3, which allows you to flash your NAND from Xell '2Stages' (RGH Xell):
[QUOTE]
Let's you flash full raw images (16 or 64MB) to your NAND. Started, as usual, via XeLL.
place "nandflash.bin" on the root of a usb device
start 2stage xell and shut off when prompted (replug power if you changed SMC)
- by default it checks blocks before writing, and will NOT overwrite or erase any block with ecc/other issues (perfect for fbbuild images with auto remaps)
small change to libxenon was required to silence non-error messages
tested on falcon, trinity and jasper 256
v3: re-re-refix bad block skipping so it skips it in both the dump and flash instead of just in the dump
v2: add big block support
v1: initial version

Maximus: Rollback on XGD3 Burner Support, DG16D5 Update, Kamikaze Template
>> From 360lizard.com:
[QUOTE]
We found a problem on the current Lizard-TBX Burner flashing method, we overlooked the EEPROM update on the drives, we will review in depth the whole Burner flashing code and we might end up releasing Custom Fileset for them.
Meanwhile we recommend use the Includes PC utilities to flash your burners firmware.
We have issued gecko 1.27 and TBX 1.46 with write options removed on the drives to prevent problems to users
On another topic, Some good findings have been done on DG16D5S drives but in order to continue we need more retail units, if you have one DG-16D5S drive please contact us by email: carranzafp@hotmail.com
Also we have officially released the Winbond Kamikaze Template, we have done lots of testing and changes to find the most accurate location. Please note that on some boards the exact location can still be offset. We encourage you to take your time, after marking the spot if you don’t find unlocked after few drilling check the coordinates manually. Please check below pictures to see how precise is the template is.
We are including a handle tool with 1mm drill bit so you can mark the spot and even (if you have the patience for slow unlock use it to continue till unlock). This template has given good results using the IRON method and drill method.
The suggested method of use is:
a) Align the template with plastic posts on the drive
b) With the handle tool drill thru the marking hole to mark it on the IC
c) Remove the template and then you have the option to manually drilling till unlock or use Dremmel © or Iron.
d) If after some drilling it does not unlock check location manually to ensure there is no too much offset
** Please remember its recommended use a resistor tied to 3.3v if you using Dremmel or handle tool
Here you have one Tutorial links made by sQuallen using Handle tool till Unlock: http://youtu.be/eg9rVBreCV0
Use common sense, this tool is just a guide, we take no responsibility for what you do with it. We have tested and its as precise as it can be
IN STORES NOW RRP: $15 USD

Easy ggBuild v0.3 *Update v0.4 FINAL*
>> Rogero released 'Easy ggBuild v0.3' on tortuga-cove.com - a tool that will make it easier to create a ggbuild NAND image for the RGH:
[QUOTE]
PS3 Developer Rogero has released another new version for his Easy ggBuild GUI via our forums for making Reset Glitch Hack images for the x360.
This is a noob-friendly version of the ggBuild 0.33 Glitch Image builder, it has all the necessary files needed to create a Glitch Image of the Dash version 13604 using a simple User Interface which allows the user to choose his console type and does the rest of the process automatically.
The user just needs to supply 2 files ,his nand image as "nanddump.bin" and the CPU key as "cpukey.txt". Place both files in the folder "Data\my360" ,the glitch image will be created as "updflash.bin" in the folder "Data".
What's new/fixed (v0.4 FINAL)
- Updated BestPig's "fcrt_extractor" to version 0.3
- Eliminated one step from the Trinity image creation for simpler operation
- This is the Final Version, no more updates are necessary.
What's new/fixed (v0.3)
- Added BestPig's fcrt_extractor which allows auto-extracting of "fcrt.bin/fcrt.bin.meta", no more need for manual extracting of the 2 files using "360 Flash Dump Tool" for Trinity.
What's new/fixed (v0.2)
- Removed Xenon type from selection Menu
- Added Trinity notification about "fcrt.bin" and "fcrt.bin.meta" files needed for some Slim nands.
- Added 360 Flash Tool v0.97 to package with the ability to auto-launch it when needed.
- Added different menu selection checks to avoid wrong user input
The Program is now considered fully automated for all console types including Trinity.
Credits and big thanks to BestPig for sharing his awesome fcrt_extractor.exe program.
Credits to ggbuild/fbbuild/freeboot and 360FlashTool teams and devs.

Liteon iHAS*24 B Rebadges And Crossflashing Info
>> From cross_stix on our forums:
[QUOTE]
Since the announcement of C4Evas DVD Burner FW I thought I would start a thread about the re-badged iHASx24 B drives, as the Lite-On badged drives may become harder to find.
Buying a re-badged drive should also guarantees you a Mediatek chipset based drive (A or B series). Whereas buying a Lite-On drive, you could also get a NEC chipset drive (Y series, re-badged Sony Optiarc AD-724xS/AD-726xS)
* Confirmed iHASx24 B re-badges
(thanks to Exobex for 1270i and PL-L890SA)
-Asus
DRW-24B3LT (confirmed)
DRW-24B3ST (confirmed)
DRW-24B1LT (confirmed newer drives are B chipset, older may be A chipset)
DRW-24B1ST (confirmed newer drives are B chipset, older may be A chipset)
-HEWLETT PACKARD (HP)
DVD 1270i B (confirmed)
DVD 1260i B (confirmed) there may also be older A model (unconfirmed)
-PLEXTOR
PL-L890SA (confirmed)
club.myce.com
Now the A series drives are no longer produced so your chances of getting an A series drives from a retailer such as Newegg is slim. Looking at reviews on Newegg for the DRW-24B1ST, there is one dated back to March 2011 reporting a B series drive.
* Crossflashing any re-badged iHASx24 B to Lite-On firmware (Thanks to Spark for procedure)
Utilities and Lite-On iHASx24 B firmware can be found here
Personally I would recommend iHAS624 B firmware for LightScribe drives and iHAS524 B firmware for non LightScribe drives as this gets you the largest feature set (SmartErase + LabelTag), but you can chose any iHASx24 B firmware you wish.
Process is:
1. Launch EEPROM utility and backup EEPROM.
2. Launch Firmware utility and backup Firmware.
With the above steps, these dumps will be needed if you ever need to return the drive to stock for warranted repair etc so it's a good idea to make 2 dumps just to be sure.
3. Flash the drive using the Firmware utility selecting the exe file. All settings should be left as default. (note: unscrabbled c0deguys firmware is required)
4. After the Flashing utility confirms that the flash is successful, power cycle the drive. The Green activity LED on it will now flash constantly but the eject button etc should respond as normal.
5. Run the EEPROM utility and launch the Convert option. This will finalize the cross flash process.
6. Once this has completed successfully, power cycle the drive again.
7. The drive will now be recognized as an iHASx24 B model and the process is now complete.
Note: Once cross flashed with c0deguys firmware, you should be able to use official Lite-On firmware updates

Xecuter CoolRunner Now In Production and Nand-X Update
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
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 :)
Simple cable to update your NAND-X with Tiros’ NandPro v3 using an Xecuter CK3i
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: Jasper Phat, Trinity Slim and Falcon Phat

CMD Freebooter v1.2.6
>> Swizzy released a new version of CMD Freebooter, updated to work with the newly released fbBuild v0.33:
[QUOTE]
Overview - What it does
- It will create a Freeboot image with your given options, it uses ibuild and fbbuild to do this, so it doesn't really have the functions itself, it's more like a script then an actual program.
- You can set presets of various options within the program, this way if you do alot of machines that are similar you don't have to choose everything over and over, however you still need to restart the program after it completes building your nand.
- You may enable or disable logging if you like, you can choose output filename yourself or use the preset one (freeBOOT.bin)
- It'll if you want it to download the appropiate systemupdate for your version of rebooter (the downloads come from logic-sunrise)
- It'll read the file "cpukey.txt" and if it contains a cpukey this will be checked for typo's and if it passed it'll be used as your cpukey ;)
What's new/fixed:
-Fixed: Bug with SMC option only beeing shown if Cygnos360 v2 for zephyr vas used (in the menu)
-Changed: fbBuild 0.33 is now beeing used :)
-Changed: Dashlaunch 2.25 is now beeing used :)
-Fixed: Dashlaunch 2.24 didn't work with 13604, previous version wasn't officially released, but some ppl has used it to build a almost complete 13604 image :(
-Added: Your nand is now used with fbbuild aswell when making your new nand, this means all your settings will be saved unless you choose not to in the options.ini, and your nand will be remapped by fbbuild at build time unless you disable that aswell in options.ini! :D
