xeBuild GUI v1.0
>> Swizzy released a GUI for xeBuild v1.0:
[QUOTE]
Overview - What it does
- This is a frontend/GUI for xeBuild, what it does is make it easy for you to select most options that you might need, such as Motherboard, SMC hack for freeboot, image type etc. etc.
- It is able to check what SMC hack you have previously used for JTAG it's also able to tell you what SMC version you have, and if it's a JTAG, Clean/Retail, Glitch or Cygnos patched SMC :)
- If you put any of these files next to the executable it'll use them
automaticly:
SMC.bin - Custom SMC of your choice; ONLY USE THIS OF YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING!!!!
Xell.bin - Custom Xell of your choice; ONLY USE THIS OF YOU KNOW WHAT
YOU ARE DOING!!!!
cpukey.txt - It'll read the first line of this file as CPUKey
flashdmp.bin - It'll load this as source nand ;)
Default.xml - It'll load any preset settings from this file ;)
options.ini - It'll load any custom settings from this (for xeBuild)
launch.ini - Settings for Dashlaunch, if you choose to use this setting it'll include this file in the built image ;)

xeBuild v1.00 (hotfix1)
>> After a lot of work, xeBuild brings together ggbuild (RGH) and fbbuild (JTAG) into a single application for building glitch, jtag and clean retail images with support for the new 14699 dash:
[QUOTE]
What's New:
* builds jtag/glitch/retail images
* image type specifyer changed, specify -t on command line
* all ini options are now available on the command line (no spaces allowed!)
-patch append option, -o [patchname] via command line, see NOMU/NOFCRT below or about_patches.S for further info. Up to 16 files can be specified.
* NOMU and NOFCRT patches are provided as optional patches, please use the
-a flag on the command line (ie: -a nomu and/or -a nofcrt) if you want to use them, nomu disables jasper NAND memory unit, nofcrt will attempt to disable FCRT file (not needed if yours isn't corrupt)
-nonandmu has been changed to nandmu so it's behavior is inverted
* virtual fuses is no longer being pursued for glitch images as correct cpu key is already required to build working trinity images. They remain for JTAG images.
Current Limitations:
- STAY THE HELL OFF LIVE! Nuff said, we're not you're mum.
1.00
- hotfix - jtag images were being created with incorrect patch file number (xexp1 instead of xexp2)
1.00
- gets security files from nanddump.bin and verifies them (odd.bin is currently not processed)
- option added to disable extracting security files from nanddump.bin
- decrypts perbuild security files for verification (crl/dae only currently, updater files work too)
- zero nonce data in bls before checking crc (inlcuded file lists updated with new crc and explanation)
- fixed a bug with mobile extraction
- fixed a bug with fsroot processing
- (glitch) dynamic SMC patcher, no longer limited to hard coded hash/offsets
- added more SMC hashes to verify known clean SMCs
- will attempt to decrypt external encrypted smc.bin if needed
- whitelist more chars in the file list parser
- altered so that pairing value will be retreived from nanddump.bin even if ldv is set in ini
- dual CB is dictated by ini, "none" filename indicates single CB (jtag does not use dual CB)
- increased logged info when adding files to flashfs
- odd.bin in encrypted (only!) form is now handled (from file or nanddump.bin)
- ini options are now available as -o options on command line
- added -t command line flag for glitch/retail/jtag selection
- JTAG image creation merged
- separate retail/glitch/jtag into individual per-firmware ini lists
- added -noenter command line option to suppres application asking to press enter on completion
- added proper errorlevel exiting, 1=usage/commandline error, 2=file write err, 3=image build error
- add 'cygnos' and 'xellbutton' options for glitch images with appropriate bl patches (either may affect fat glitch boot rate!)
- non-critical spare data fix to the way smc config is added to image
- update freeboot core and glitch base patches to accept a secondary xell poweron reason
- rewrote extended.bin handler, given an invalid/undecryptable file it will create a empty extended.bin
- rewrote keyvault handler, can decrypt and verify kv.bin when it's provided encrypted
- added patch append -a command, and converted nomu and nofcrt to optional patches
- added simple explanation of patch file formats in about_patches.S
- changed nonandmu option to nandmu so it can default to false
- added corona and winchester console types, currently not supported but there if needed
- add 14699

Xbox 360 Fall 2011 Dash Update Final Version (2.0.14699.0)
>> From c4evaspeaks.com:
[QUOTE]
After a “slight” delay, Microsoft has begun rolling out across all regions the final production version of its Xbox 360 Fall 2011 Dash Update — 2.0.14699.0 — remaining unchanged in number from the last Preview Program version released a few days ago.
As usual with SystemUpdates, you are recommended to hold-off on updating until c4eva and the team have had a chance to properly analyze it, generate and check a set of LIVE logs, and report back on whether there are any changes affecting c4eva’s firmwares. The version being unchanged from the last beta should help expedite this process, however.

360 Content Manager v2.1
>> Xamphear released a new version of 360 Content Manager for JTAG & RGH 360s:
[QUOTE]
What This App Does:
* Browse 360 files on your PC by their real info, like game name and package title.
* Upload files (XBLA, DLC, GOD, Avatar, Title Update) to your console over FTP with a single click. Files are automatically uploaded to the right folders.
* Drag and drop files to other applications, if you'd prefer to use your own FTP client.
* Organize a messy folder of downloaded content into 1 of many different directory styles. Restore the original filenames for XBLA and DLC files.
* View the MediaID of Title Updates and GODs so you can match them, and search JQE and XBUC for matching TUs.
* View the MediaID of ISO files. (Requires abgx360)
* View the MediaID of default.xex files.
Advanced/Beta Features:
* Scan the Content folder on your 360's HDD to a database so that while browsing content on your PC you can see if it's already on your 360 or not, even if your 360 is off.
* Browse the contents of your 360 directly, using Freestyle Dashboard's SMB share technology.
What's new/fixed:
* Reads and displays actual Title Update version number, which is helpful since Microsoft has stopped making it part of the package title. "New" style TUs (ie: tu0000004_00000000) can be renamed using the content organizer, since the number in the filename is largely meaningless.

Xecuter CPU_RST PCB Solution For Slims - New SLIM POST QSB
>> From team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
Those that have fitted a CoolRunner to an Xbox Slim will be no stranger to the fact that it can take a great deal of trial and error to get the optimized boot times down to less than 5 seconds.
The main issue is the CPU_RST wire which has to be up to 50cm long and then coiled underneath the motherboard. In many cases the positioning of the coil is a factor due to signal interference. Then you have to try different lengths, 40cm,
We believe we have developed a simple yet elegant solution for this problem.
Using the process of serpentining, we have designed a QSB PCB for the 360 slim that fits neatly into place, giving you an optimized solution enabling you to select several different lengths without having to cut any wires and eliminates any guess work and possible signal interference issues.
Since the CoolRunner has been out in the wild, we have collected data from hundreds of testers and implemented the optimum lengths that were reported as giving the most consistently good results.
Simply cut the blue CPU_RST wire to 8cm and then you can select from 50cm, 47cm, 41cm, 38cn, 35cm, 32cm & 29cm.
We have also included all the POST points for the developers out there who wish to use that part of NANDPRO 3 that was implemented by Tiros.
To give you an idea of how the serpentining is used, I've adjusted some values in photoshop so you can get a better idea
We hope to have this on sale next week at only $3.95
We also suggest that you look at the instructions again as we have posted other troubleshooting solutions that may help you get the absolute best from your RGH install.
