fbBuild 0.1
===========

Introduction:
=============
Sad to hear the rumor of ikari stepping down, and even sadder to hear
of the profiteers taking advantage of this... we bring you a tribute
to ikari. If you paid for this, get a refund!

fbBuild is a NAND image builder made to suit freeBoot style images,
the included patches and freboot.bin core are based on the original
works done by ikari.

It is suitable to build rebooter images for all current JTAG exploit
compatible xbox 360's. As with ibuild produced images, this version
only requires a single flash 16MiB in size or larger.

What's New:
===========
- based on targeting kernel 2.0.12611.0
- patches from freeBoot kernel/hv are ported to 12611
- supports both flash tool and ibuild extracted kv/smc_config
- supports injecting Mobile*.dat
- previously revoked usb devices should now work
- kinect works (apply system update for avatars and kinect)
it is strongly recommended that r6t3 be removed
- entirely new image builder (no extraction)
- rebuilt/cleaned core can now boot xell on slot to eject dvd drives
(see bin directory for alternate)
- exploit payload simplified

Tested and its working 100%

ok, My r6t3 has been removed, but the points have been bridged to update to 9199. Do i need to leave them bridged to update to this, or should I unbridge them? I don't want to ruin my only jtag. Please folks! I would appreciate it.

MANY, MANY THANKS!

Remove the bridge if system is jtagged.

Anyone that can confirm, dashlanch works as it shuld with this relese? And freestyledash?

And is it needed to apply the whole 1261 update afterwords to gain kinect and avatars functinality?

Not home at the moment so cant test this out on mine.

Anyone have a tutorial for doing this? I bought my system as a JTAG, but I have all the necessary keys and the NAND. I haven't had to re-flash, so I'm not sure where to begin. I'm debating on removing r6t3, but right now it's still connected.

Yea, I too am a little nervous about the whole update, I don't want to loose the jtag because I want to be able to use my kinect on it. Obviously thats the whole point of it, but a tutorial would be great. I guess I'll wait a bit just to be sure...

Always remove, or use the alternative way!

Thank you Baby Jesus.


Thx for the heads up too

Can you run Freeboot with the .bin file you make and it will flash?

worked perfect on my jasper256. thanks!

Tested fsd, dashlaunche, avatar and kinect?

Hi whats the alternative way? as i am really not skilled enough to remove r6t3 will this work if you dont remove it?

Yes, if people can list what is, and isn't working, that would be great.

Its two small solder points beside it. But you have to create a solder bridge betwen them, so if you cant then you have two options. Hand the job over to someone that can, or hope you have luck. If you have latest hacked dashboard then it shuldent be a problem aplaying updates, but nothing is 100% so I strongly recomend that you find somone that can do it for you.

im quite intrested in doing this, but my r6t3 is still intact... is it really necessary to remove it? as it wasnt with all other rebooters before...
also im very intrested in dashlaunch compatibility, it it doesnt work yet on the fbbuild i wont bother updating as i dont have kinect anyway...

dashlaunch works. actually, it seems to be built in from the start. as 12611 dashlaunch installer said i already had the most current patches.

can anyone confirm if this works without needing to remove r6t3?

I believe you will be safe if it is bridged. If you have not done neither, then you need to do one of methods or you will possibly kill your jtag. I personally bridge the r6t3, way easier and just a dab of solder.

Patiently awaiting a tutorial on how to do this. Anyone want to list the steps they took to get this going?

i dont have it removed. dump with flash360, build image, reflash with flash360. thats what i did anyways. worked first try.

Yes of course it works if you don't remove them.
It is suggested you remove r6t3 or do the bridge to protect yourself from ever bricking the console by running a update that might blow a efuse.

For those of you that have never done this here is how we protect efuses at boxxdr. Thanks to blackaddr for his great research on this.

dashlaunch .xex needs to be updated

its on xbins as 2.03

I knew syntaxerror would chime in before long LOL. These are the pictures I have printed out to go by when bridging the points.

If we had a rep button I would give it you.

the read me's a a bit vague is there a tutorial, I did XBR, and Freeboot fine, but I don't remember where to get the files for the Data folder, plus I forgot the program to decrypted smc kv etc.

Quick and dirty tutorial that worked for me...

Fetch these from xbins
/XBOX 360/development/fbBuild/fbBuild_0.1.zip
/XBOX 360/development/kernel/rebooter_fsdata/12611.zip
/XBOX 360/dashboards/Flash360/Flash360v1.0.zip

Extract fbBuild_0.1.zip to C:\fbBuild
Extract 12611.zip to C:\fbBuild\data
Optional - use C:\fbBuild\data\firmware_12611.sfv to verify the files
I then took my SMC.bin, kv.bin and smc_config.bin from my freeBOOT-0.031\data directory that I used when I made my freeboot image half a year ago and put them in C:\fbBuild\data

Then I executed fbBuild like this:
fbBuild.exe -c <my console type, i used xenon> -d data\ -b <1BL key> -p <my CPU key> updflash.bin

Then i put updflash.bin on a flash stick together with Flash360.xex and flashed using Flash360: Button A (write updflash.bin to Nand) + Button B (Raw Flash without keeping current kv/config). I then got two warnings ("WARNING: Keyvault encrypted data check mismatch" and "WARNING: Your current nand is not the ZeroPaired."). I ignored the warnings and flashed... and it worked

agreed. 360 Flash Tool can be used to decrypt your KV but I'm not sure where to get the correct SMC and SMC_config from... previously the first ibuild command in freeboot would extract all of this, but im not sure if using ibuild from freeboot .32 to get these files from an Original NAND is correct this time around?

Im also awaiting a tutorial to go from Completely Stock --> fbBuild

Patience. This just hit the scene.

Anyone upgraded from XBR to Fbbuild? I never bothered to go to the newest Freeboot. Any advice or info you can provide is appreciated!

Thanks!

Hell yes, been following this on X-H. Glad to see a release so soon. Thanks to those involved

need to spend some time playing with this at some point it was a pain in the arse getting my zephyrs updated to freeboot from xbr with a patched smc for the alternate jtag wiring. Ether way its quite exciting to see the speed at which this came out.

I think you can use ibuild to extract your current freeboot image and then add those files (kv.bin,smc.bin,smc_config.bin) into the new data folder for fbbuild.
If you extract from a original nand you need to find a hacked smc.bin for your console type, the rest whould be fine
correct me if im wrong

Im rather lost... I'm trying to JTAG a new Xenon with fbBuild.

I used ibuild to extract kv.bin and smc_config.bin, then i used the hacked xell xenon smc. I put those 3 files in the fbBuild data folder along with the 12611 files, did fbbuild.exe -c xenon -d data\ -b 1BL -p CPUKEY fbBuild.bin

When i flash this to the xenon, it boots but goes right to xell as if just xell was flashed >.> where did i go wrong

Just updated a Jasper 16MB/ aud_clamp, and it worked fine.

Works awesome Jasper512! New dashlaunch works perfect, I installed avatars. Kinect working perfect!

read the note in the bin directory regarding freeboot_alt.bin, I think this applies to you.

Just installed, works awesome!

Enable Console Safety
Set passcode and reset
Go to parental controls and disable
- Xbox Live connection
- Xbox Live account creation
Set all ratings to unblocked (defaults are like PG-13 for films and etc)

However a few limitations it seems:
- Cannot customise avatar
- The old media player taken from a non-JTAG doesn't work; wonder if there is an update for it
- As far as I can tell, the hacked Xbox1 emulator doesn't work; Family Guy used to work fine, now it just freezes at the Xbox1 logo
- When you sign in with an Xbox LIVE profile, it will ask you to update every time (I guess unless you're not on-line). I really would like to know what IP range to block this.

Other than that, awesome. All 360 games work. Arcade games work. DLC is recognised.

Tested homebrew:
- NXE2GOD
- Snes360
- vba360
- XexMenu
- XM360

All working.

As some reports have stated, this dashboard feels slower than the previous on older consoles like the Zephyr/Falcon/Xenon. And that is the case for me. However, it's that or no Kinect I suppose.

If you don't have your iBuild format files (smc_config.bin, etc), you can use Flash360 to make them. Go to Settings and Options. Then choose Extract ibuild compatible files, extract data and put it in the appropriate place and you'll be fine.

Ignore the 2 warnings you get (doesn't match and not zero-paired). It should go fine, but again, it's YOU risking it.

Has anyone who still has r6t3 installed applied the avatar update after flashing this? I don't really want to open up my 360 and remove the resistor tonight if I can help it. Got the image all ready to flash but don't want to screw it up when I put the avatars on.

anybody know when that "bestpig"(lol) fb maker might be out?

and that bridge point, is that in the bottom or top of the motherboard?

Hello gentlemen,

Firstly, a big thanks to the makers of freeboot and the community here, much appreciated

I would like some clarification, please regarding the removal of the r6t3 resistor.

If:

UT61 or UT62 is present + points are bridged = protected from losing jtag but need to remove bridge to update
UT61 or UT62 present + bridges not bridged = not protected from losing jtag, but can still update to 12611.0

and final point for clarification, removal of the r6t3 resistor is equivalent to bridging aforementioned points.

Thank you very much for your time and patience with a noob like me

http://www.logic-sunrise.com/news-168543-e...-12611-gui.html

Removing R6T3 and bridging points both have the same end results. They protect you from killing your jtag.

You never have to unbridge or reinstal the resistor again unless you wanted to revert your console back to stock. Jtag updates do not blow efuses.




No idea about bestpig but i sure hope he comes out with a new version.
The bridge point is on the bottom under the cpu.

SO, I'd imagine we'll have to wait for the download-able 12611 update package to add back in the Avatar support like we had to do with 9199. Correct?

Thank you very much for the quick reply, syntaxerror329. I was worried about having to unbridge the two points before flashing, now I don't have to Will attempt tomorrow/on the weekend.

Thank you once again sir:)

You can download the latest update from Microsoft and install it. I want to know if it's safe to do this with the r6t3 resistor still in place.

Download the file. (http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/1/D/41D9A2BA-3B48-4BD5-B613-122E7C3A1390/SystemUpdate12611.zip)
Click Save to save the console update .zip file on your computer.
Unzip the file. If you are using Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, double-click the .zip file to unzip it.
Copy the contents of the .zip file to the root directory of your flash drive.
Unplug the USB flash drive from your computer.
Plug the flash drive into a USB port on your Xbox 360 console.
Restart the console.
When the console restarts, the installation program starts automatically. Select Yes when you are prompted to update the new console software.

Yes, me. Everything still works.


It's already out.

is there a way to do it from the top of the board? I really dont feel like dissembling the whole thing. removing xclamp and all that seems risky. never know..last thing I want is random-ass red ring lol.

Cool - found the link in the post above, my googling didn't find it.

I have my resistor removed, I'll report back with findings.

Why should you even need to remove your resistor. If you download the Freeboot zip file with the most recent kinect update? I upgraded to FB 0.02 w/ 9199 from XBR 8955 and had no problems.

You guys are way too nervous. Are the freeboot guys trying to ruin your jtag 360's? Lol. They ripped the update and efuse blowing routine out of the hacked dash. Hence it's called a 'Hacked dash'.

I'm not removing any resistors or bridging anything.

I removed it long ago - way before Freeboot.

Sorry - I'm not going to put it back just because I didn't need to remove it
