C4E’s iXtreme Lite Touch (LT) in association with Team Jungle & Team Xecuter

After a long development and testing process we give you the first official release of the iXtreme LT

* Supports all Liteon Drives (74850, 83850V1, 83850V2, 93450)
* Totally re-written code optimised for minimal patching
* Whole banks of firmware now untouched
* New Drive response timing engine accurately mimics original drive timings
* Full disc stealth used by default
* Waveless booting , disc images are assumed to be correct!
* Split-Vid used as default

###### WARNING ######

Warning! Ensure all disc images are checked with abgx as LT assumes all stealth/ss/pfi/dmi is correct. Disc images must also be splitvid and preferred SS v2

Warning! LT will not save you from being banned if console is already flagged by using a previous firmware or non-stealth discs

It is also advisable to apply all system updates before flashing with LT. All future console system updates (not game updates) must be applied with caution

###### WARNING ######

Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process.
Thanks also go to Team Xecuter for their generous support to this project.

No pin lifting or epoxy removal needed anymore!

Just solder anything on the back according to this picture.

Also if you got status 0×52 instead of 0×72 with the “1,8V-method” this should do it.
I already dumped 4 drives with this method without any issues.

* switch in pos 1
* power drive
* start Dosflash –> SPI should get recognized with status 0×72
* put switch in pos 2
* click “read”
* desolder everything and reconnect the lines that have been cut.

Hope this helps just be careful not to ruin your drives…

-Lift pin 101 and 122
-solder a cable to pin 100, pin 101 and one to 3,3V
-use a 2-way switch which either connects 101 to 3,3V or to 100
-put the switch into the position so that it connects 100 to 101
-power drive
-start Dosflash, it will recognise the SPI with Status x72
-if you read it out now, it will just give you a .bin full of FFFFFFFF, but thats OK, this is how we tricked the Flash Controller to think the SPI is empty
-put the switch in the other position (so that 101 is connected to 3,3V)
-now read the flash

—> Voila, you got your dump!

more to come soon

I. Introduction
================

freeBOOT is a rebooter for the Microsoft Xbox 360. This version of freeBOOT
allows you to reboot into kernel 2.0.8955 on all Xenon, Zephyr, Falcon, and
Jasper consoles with 16MB flashes, which are vulnerable to the JTAG hack.
Support for Opus and Jasper consoles with larger flashes will follow soon.

As freeBOOT needs a second flash memory to store kernel 2.0.8955 and
associated data, either a Cygnos360 or an xD card mod is required at the
moment.

II. Bug Fixes
=============

- Harddisk installation and save game/profile issues have been fixed
(more…)

Did your 360 get banned in this wave of bans? HD install not working? Gamertag and saves keep corrupting? This is how to fix this (aka ‘uncrippling’).

To start with, you’ll need to know a few things. This is going to involve a small amount of soldering, and a little knowledge of Nandpro and Hex (and a lot of patience if you’ve got a 256/512mb Jasper). Also, and an important point: THIS WILL NOT UNBAN YOUR 360 – ALL THIS DOES IS TO ALLOW TRUSTED CONTENT ON YOUR CONSOLE. That out of the way, lets get on with the tut.

Part 1: Cable creation, and hooking it up:

You will need:

1. DB25 25-way male plug + wires – or the male end from a printer cable leave the wires attached, cut off the female end.
2. 5 X 100 ohm resistors.
3. 1 X Switching diode.
4. Soldering iron, flux and solder.
5. A PC running Windows (32bit XP worked for me), and with a Parallel Printer Port.
6. NandPro – Download HERE
7. Hex Workshop – Dwnload here: http://www.hexworkshop.com/

As you may know once you are banned from Xbox live if you use that banned console to play games and then put your hard drive back into an unbanned console your profile shows as corrupted and you have to recover Gamertag from Xbox Live. In doing this though you lose any achievements you may have obtained on the banned box. I have found a way to un-corrupt the profile without Recovering.

What you need:

• A Data Transfer Cable for Xbox 360 or disassemble your hard drive.
• CON Flag Remover
• Xplorer360
• Hash Block Calculator

=================================================

What does this mean for you and what can you do about it?
By Kushan (V1.112)

=================================================

Firstly, and most obviously, you cannot connect to Xbox Live on this console any more. This means no more game updates (aka title updates), XBLA games, marketplace content, netflix/sky player and so on. There is no way around this, all online capabilities are now disabled PERMANENTLY.

In all likelihood, your gamertag has NOT BEEN BANNED. When your gamertag gets banned, Microsoft sends you an email detailing why, if you have not recieved this email then your profile should be ok, to a certain extent.

Hard Drive installs are now disabled on the banned console. This means any disk-based games you have will no longer play off of the hard drive. If you attempt to play a game, it will tell you that it was installed on a different 360 and needs to be deleted/installed again. When you delete the game and attempt to install it, you are given a message telling you that it is not supported. There is no way to fix this, that functionality is simply gone from the banned 360.

The hard drive itself is left untouched – you can place it in another 360, even an unbanned one, and it will still work just fine. You do NOT need to reformat it to regain any kind of functionality. Any installed games will need to be reinstalled for the console you want to play them on. This is normal behaviour and happens when swapping HDDs on unbanned/legit 360’s.

Changes affecting all platforms:

- Added support for 4th Wave PFI/Video
- Added support for SS v2
- Added the new check for DMI corruption which the database has been using since 2009/06/14
- Added ability to at least try to verify the game data when no Xex/SS ini is available and we’re not going to AutoFix
- Added support for Avatar Awards
- Added option to select your preferred language to use when displaying strings from the Xex title resource
- Added drag & drop support for the GUI Input panel
- Added option to embed images in the HTML source code as data URIs for better portability (when using HTML output)
- Added JavaScript to HTML output that allows you to check off achievements and see the achieved text (especially useful when the how-to text is vague)
- Added a Donate button to the GUI so you can help me pay the bills and continue working on improvements
(more…)

If your console got banned and your profile/game saves got corrupted DO NOT FORMAT YOUR HARD DRIVE. There is still hope for your 500 hour oblivion saves, lvl 48 borderland characters, and fourth year franchises in madden 10.

1. On a non-banned 360, turn on your console with a memory unit that does NOT contain your corrupted game profile.
2. Recover your XBL profile to a memory card on your non-banned console
3. Turn your non-banned console off.
4. Plug in your hard drive/memory card with your corrupted saves to your non-banned console.
5. Go to System settings -> Memory -> (your “corrupted” memory unit) -> Gamer Profiles and select your corrupted profile.
6. Select delete and make sure you select DELETE PROFILE ONLY. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL DELETE ALL OF YOUR SAVES
7. Turn your console off
8. Put it your memory unit with your “corrupt” saves
9. Also insert your memory unit with the gamertag you recovered from XBL earlier
10. System settings -> Memory -> (memory unit with recovered gamertag) -> Move -> Your gamertag
11. Move your gamertag to your Memory unit with your previously corrupt saves and you should be good to go.

Hope that was clear!

2.0b Release notes:

This release fixes a bug when a sector fails to write, ie it will retry the block now.
Before it could corrupt the rest of the write. Reading was unaffected.
Also new feature, allows a “virtual nand device”: Which is a RAW file, that nandpro pretends is a nand
It can then extract/inject individual blocks from a image, instead of a nand (ie no hardware)
For example you could inject a small xell into a large image with the following:
nandpro completerawimage.bin: -w16 xell.ecc
