robinsod's flashtool

process:

use nandpro and dump nand from unbanned console.
flash xell and use jtag hack to obtain cpu key.
use flashtool to extract file system.

dump nand from 8955 console.
use flashtool to patch nand dump with kv.bin from unbanned console.
save patched file (patched_kv.bin).

open degraded + 1888 fs.
create 1888 downgrader image (downgrader.bin) from your patched_kv.bin file.

flash downgrader.bin to 8955 console.
attach hdd + ethernet cable and boot console.

in doing this, wouldnt you not be able to play both consoles online simultaneously?

Good tut, only helpful if you got your CPU key pre-summer 09 update.

Omg this is amazing, what does 8955 Console mean? And also can you post a site where you can buy all the necessary tools for unbanning a console

[majinsoftware]

All the tools are free,
a 8955 console means you have played on live and have the update.

The only way to get the cpukey is to have run xell.
Only way to run xell is if you dash version is below 8XXXX you can find this in the system info of the xbox.
Or if you played on live in the last 3 months your out of luck. Also all the new wave 4 games have the update that will disable xell from working so your out of luck there aswell.

Unless you backedup your cpukey from in the past.

ive been storing my cpukey since aug 2007. today i actually used it for something.

[Demonsc]

You think there will be a way to run Xell if the dash version is above 8XXXX in the future?
Also this question wasn't answered

No one knows, probably not

Yes, for 30 seconds or less, then you will be banned again. (I think)

So if u have your unbanned cpukey (from xbox: a) from before summer 09 update, then shouldn't (after u get banned on xbox: a) b able to reflash the xbox with the old cpukey? Or does it automatically reban u as soon as u log back into XBL?

[k0mpresd]

contents of the keyvault are banned. not the cpu key. that is why you patch orig.bin from 8955 console with kv from unbanned console.

[g-sas]

I don't get it completely.
For what do you need the cpu-key of the banned console?

k0mpresd: but who has the updated console and doesnt has the cpukey, isn't possible, because to use the jtag hack(need to catch the cpukey) your dashboard need to be in a version earlier of the 849x.. Do you know how to resolve it?
Thanks and sorry for my English.

mainly, to decrypt nand dump so it is possible to patch new kv.

there is no solution for updated consoles if you do not already have cpu key.
