Easily update your Jtagged Xbox 360 to Kernel / Dashboard 12611 with FbBuild 0.11

Think my using my 9199 360 flash backup in freeboot toolbox maker would yield a similar result were I to run it in Xell?
 
Help please. I just tried this updating my 16MB Jasper from 9199. Now when I try and boot the top sector and bottom sector of lights alternate red and green. I can still boot into xellous but everytime I try and boot it alternates lights.
 
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm trying to update from 9199 to 12611 and I've run into a sticky patch though...

I get the following "error"

Any thoughts on what went wrong?
 
I made another updflash.bin, put it in the root of a flash drive and tried booting in xellous and it won't even try to flash using that. Any ideas?
 
I tried 2 different usb drives, and fat and fat32. I tried making new updflash.bin, but still no luck. Any ideas? Xellous just acts like it won't open the file. I have attached a picture of what I am getting.

i followed the direction to make the image again, i mad more than one of the same image but they dont match in total connander. says there ae differences between them. that normal?

is it ok that i create a freeboot.bin file to transfer using lpt port?

each file i create is different in 360 flash dump also.

the "6BL [CF] patch 1 <12611> LDV [2] PD <0xD5D5D5>

the part in bold is changed everytime i create an image. is that normal or ok to continue?
 
1) Reflow the Southbridge
2) Restore the NAND content using Xell and the JTAG hack
Xbox-experts.com - Error code 2 Green & 2 Red Lights E52 / 0310

It shows that when the console is in manufacturing mode, theoretically it can also be a Southbridge issue so reflowing might work.
More likely is an improper NAND update though, so a software related problem.

How To Fix Christmas Lights On a Jtag [Tutorial]
1. Rename your original freeboot image to updflash.bin
2. Put it on a usb drive that is formatted to FAT32
3. plug it into your 360 and turn console on with the eject button
4. let xell do its update
5. Unplug back power cables for about 30 seconds.
6. plug every thing back in and you should be greeted with the dashboard.

Would it be okay to use this tutorial but instead of fbbuild0.1, we use the fbbuild0.11 release to update from 0.1 to 0.11....?
 
Yes I have updated the links in the tutorial to FbBuild 0.11, its the same process just a newer version of FbBuild which contains a few bug fixes.

0.11 Changes:

- add "jasper16a" LBA method as default for jasper
- add SMC check for encrypted and known hack SMC
- search for valid smc_config hash instead of hard coded
offsets, support filename "config.bin"
- refine KV encryption check
- disable extended DVD auth for OSIG keyvaults (aka: AP25)
- random non-critical changes

FbBuild 0.11 can be downloaded here

Dash Launch 2.06 for FreeBoot 12611 built with fbBuild 0.11 can be downloaded here
 
The new version of jtag tool worked for me ^_^ Although NFS:HP comes up disc unreadable even though it's a GOD.
 
My console is still currently 8599, is it necessary to go to 9199 before flashing to 12611?
 
Hello

I followed the tutorial. Used my original nand (i saved via lpt 2010.03.02). When I boot up the 360 it does nothing, the controller cant connect, cant start via eject buttom, no any red led. I used this guid to jtag hack: http://www.xboxklub.hu/az_xbreboot_installalasa and work correctly so far. I think i dont any mistake. What should I do now? Please HELP!

Try again and use your previously hacked nand as the source (freeboot or xbr) that appears to have a much better success rate.

You will have to flash it by LPT.



i make it jtag new dashbooard + new dashlaunch 2.06
but everytime i restarting my xbox i always start in nxe dashboard not in fsd 1.20... what should i do to make the fsd as the fist load?

Got your launch.ini on your hard drive telling it what to load when the console is powered on?
 
just a note to everyone here...DO NOT USE THE SMC EXTRACTED FROM YOUR ORIGINAL DUMP !
fbBuild uses the SMC you give it VERBATIM, it does NOT patch it to do the jtag hack (alternate points or not, i use the original points)!
so, for best results, extract your SMC from 9199 freeBoot updflash.bin or similar, if you only have your original nand, use bestpig or any other way to make it and extract the SMC from that !
USING SMC FROM ORIGINAL NAND DUMP WILL RESULT IN E79 ERROR ON EVERY BOOT !
I had to use usbjtag to reflash because of this, do not be burned !
 
That depends, I can honestly say all the files I used are from my original dump and that worked perfectly for my console, and has done so for many others.

Of course if you have used the aud-clamp wiring thats not gonna work, so you are right in saying the upgrade has a much higher chance of working when using the files from your existing FreeBoot image.

I did edit the guide to state that last weekend anyway so hopefully that means most people have had an easier time upgrading :)
 
if you extract the SMC from the updflash.bin fbbuild makes you will see it is bit by bit the same as the SMC you put in mydata
so, as it does not add jtag hack to smc, if you use the original microsoft SMC, it will not do the jtag exploit and you will always get e79 error at boot.

and as i said, im not using aud_clamp or open_tray or any such custom SMC requiring things, i am using the dead standard layout on jasper 256
