    Step 2a: JTAG
    Now if you are on exactly dash 7371 (and therefore trying to JTAG) it is time to find out if you Xbox is JTAG'able. If this doesn't apply to you skip this. In J-Runner (it should still be open with your motherboard type selected and your NAND dump selected under "Source File") look over the the middle right and check out in the "Nand Info" section where is says "2BL [CB]". Look at what your CB is and see if it is in this list:
    -Xenon: 1922, 1923, 1940, 7373
    -Zephyr: 4571, 4572, 4578, 4579, 4580
    -Falcon/Opus: 5771
    -Jasper: 6750

    If your CB is on this list it is patched and not JTAG'able. If it is not on this list you are good to go.

    Checklist:

    • Your here because you found in the flow chart that your exploit method is the JTAG method (dash is 7371 or less and console is a phat)
    • You have Orig.bin NAND dump backed up
    • Your CB is not on the list of patched CBs

    There are three main ways to JTAG your console:
    1. The Xenon Method (only for Xenon consoles)
    2. The Boxxdr Method (Zephyrs, Opus, Falcon, and Jasper)
    3. The Boxxdr Method plus DVD Tray (Zephyrs, Opus, Falcon, and Jasper)

    There are more variations of these methods but these are the only ones you need to care about as the Boxxdr method is the most stable. If you have a Xenon motherboard you do its one and only method, if you have any other motherboard you do the 2nd method (Boxxdr). In general the default method should work for you so go for it, but some consoles will rarely require the Boxxdr Method plus the DVD tray point. So if you get to the part with booting Xell and the console doesn't boot, you frequently get E79's, or you have problems with HDMI and really want it come back here and check out the 3rd method.

    Method 1 (Xenon):

     
    What you need:
    • Wire (from materials list)
    • (2x)1N914/4148 Switching Diode
    In J-Runner (it should still be open with your motherboard type selected and your NAND dump selected under "Source File") in the upper right section titled "XeBuildOptions" click the drop down and select "Add Dash". In the window that appears check off "16747" and click "Add Dashes". Then in the same drop down select "16747" as it will now be in the list, and then select "JTAG" so it's bubble is filled. Now back in the upper left click "Create Xell-Reloaded". The log should say "Xell File Created Successfully xenon.bin".

    Now follow which one applies to you:
    A) You used the LPT method to dump your NAND
    B) You used the NAND-X/J-R Programmer method you dump your NAND

    A) Keep J-Runner open, and copy the xenon.bin file from the output folder in the J-Runner folder on your desktop into the Nandpro30 folder. The open a Command Prompt again ("cmd") and type "cd desktop\Nandpro30" and press enter, and then type in this command:
    Code (Text):
    nandpro lpt: -w16 xenon.bin
    You will end up with something like this:
    vNO43io.png

    Now simply press enter and it should start writing, which you can see by the the 4digit alphanumeric code at the bottom that starts at 0000 and will slowly go up by 1. Once it reaches 004F (more for BB Jaspers) it will stop and show another command line. If it didn't work then 1)Check your soldering or 2) Your Xbox's power isn't plugged in

    Now that this is done you can close Nandpro and remove your LPT plug from your computer and your Xbox. We won't be needing it any longer. Also, unplug the Xbox's power.
    ---END OF A---
    B) In J-Runner click "Write Xell Reloaded" and you should see it start writing in the log. If not then make sure your NAND-X/J-R Programmer is still connected to your computer and the motherboard and the Xbox's power is plugged in. When it reaches 03FF it will complete.

    Now that this is done you can disconnect the NAND-X/J-R Programmer from your computer and your Xbox. Also, unplug the Xbox's power.
    --END OF B--

    Now use this diagram to solder the actual JTAG wires:
    3xx6ZM6.png
    The red line is a simple jumper wire while the yellow and blue are bridging wires with one switching diode each. For both the blue and yellow wires, the end of the diode that has the black line closer to it MUST be soldered to the motherboard by J1F1, while the wire is soldered to the other end of the diode and then to its respective point by J2D2. Once this is done, put your Xbox back to together to the point where the motherboard is in the metal shell, the fans are in and the fan shroud is on, and the front Ring of Light board is plugged in. Then move on to Step 3.

    Yeah, the Linux world dubbed it to be "msdos" rather then it's actual name "MBR", that doesn't make it "msdos" tho ;)

    I've always referred to it as that as anytime I've ever messed with the partitioning it was on Linux. And I am fully aware that MSDOS is Microsoft DOS, I did learn x86 hardware with DOS 3.1 back in the day when all I had was a 386 sx 33mhz and a 20 meg hard drive with xtree gold....

    There's MBR and GPT, MSDOS is a very old OS, FAT32 is a Filesystem...

     
    http://askubuntu.com/questions/405735/installing-multiple-linux-distros-in-a-single-partition

    One way to find out if you have an "msdos" partition table or another, less limiting, type of partition table is to just try creating a fifth partition (without making it inside an extended partition--extended partitions are generally not possible except with an "msdos" partition table).

    Another way is to check directly in GParted. To do this, click View > Device Information. A *Device Information pane will appear to the left of the list of partitions, under the horizontal representation of the disk.

    gSqMt.png

    In contrast, if you have a GPT disk, you'll see "gpt" instead of "msdos." (There are other types of partition table as well, GPT and "msdos" are just the most likely, on a PC.)

    cEsFG.png

    Note that, while it is possible to turn a disk with an "msdos" partition table into a GPT disk in GParted (with Device > Create Partition Table...), doing so will "erase" all data on the disk! (That's why I haven't recommend that, as a solution to your problem.)   ###AND VICE VERSA###

    Since you can edit the partition table in Gparted, it will allow you to delete the table from GPT and re-create it as msdos. ( If that makes sense)

    I find that msdos partition tabled drives with FAT32 partitions to be the least problematic for any external device or enclosure unit.

    I'm using a media sonic probox http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065DUJ0C

     

    I have tried a 2tb seagate expansion formatted fat32 w/64k cluster but it doesn't seem to work with extracted isos.

    This is a workhorse enclosure unit that I use that works with no issue  http://www.amazon.com/AcomData-PATA-IDE-Enclosure-Radiant-SMBXXXU2E-RD/dp/B000VNJD1S. Also, did you check the partition table of the hard drive itself to make sure its MSDOS FAT32 partition table and not GPT?

    that had me rolling out laughing.. hahaha.. just had to share.. i don't even get that much into sports, but still hilarious..

    me either I did have to chuckle at that one though.

    Or just bridge it normally.. As the xb won't know the difference.. Wired is wired to it.. Haha

    If his only connection is wifi and he wants a faster and more reliable wifi connection, a wiMAX would definitely suit his needs. I have a few friends who use one when they're in hotels and the hotel network service just plain sucks. Also, most hotels don't have keystone jacks in the rooms these days and defer to wireless service for their guests. If he had the keystone panel to connect his console,  he wouldn't need a network bridge in the first place...

    Yeah I noticed that. That wouldn't be fair to anyone though. I mean what if I went on vacation (or anyone for that matter) and decided to take the Xbox. But the only connection I have is Wi-Fi? That'd be unfair to me or anyone else.

    Maybe make a network bridge out of a wiMAX card and the ethernet port on your laptop when you're abroad and just using a crossover cable to connect the xbox to your laptop that is wiMAX connected?

    And what phone these days isn't?? Hahaha.. Seriously.. Tho..

    When it cuts into your total available bandwidth, that's pretty bad, just sayin........... I think I might just migrate back to Debian or CentOS after all this stupidity. I don't game much so really there's no point to it for me to have it...

     

     

    I'm wondering what wonderful bugs will reveal themselves despite the open beta testing that took place. Lots of new Secuirty holes with all that targetted advertising crap and the whole peer2peer updating system. I see fun with Wind0ze Portz in the future lawlz!!! 

    =p

    So far from what I'm seeing and reading, Windows 10 seems to be just a big piece of data mining malware.  Maybe a version will be leaked that has had all the offensive services removed and/or circumvented. Wow thats messed up, the warez version of this Operating System is probably cleaner than the official one....

    Windows 8 won't work, you have to be on Windows 8.1...

    Pro is only eligible for those with Home Premium or higher

    You can get 8.1 upgrade free from the microsoft store

    Another thing people need to be on the watch out for with Windows 10, It uses your bandwidth to deliver updates in a torrent style fashion.....

     

    How "Cool" is that?

    Thanks to Bob Dobalina for sharing this post via my Facebook, I thought I'd extend the courtesy since I know you guys probably don't want this feature enabled either....

    So go: start // Settings // Updates // Advanced Options // Choose how updates are delivered // Turn updates from more than one place OFF

    Swizzy, this may be why you were having hot spot issues, the updater can push updates to all other windows 10 computers on a locally connected network....    o.0

    No power supply but I went over to Modesto with my buddy to go get it. I wound up trading my buddy a JTAG Xenon, clean Jasper and Slim Trinity for it. I probably overpaid on the trade but its not everyday that you can say you got a devkit. I'm going to tinker with it and see what all it can do. ^_^ Will post some pics of it later

    And yes, the side car came with it, its not an upgraded one, first thing I'm going to do is backup the NAND and anything on it to make sure I keep all the OEM stuff intact.

    Damn microshit a-holes, i chose not to connect to open hotspots and whatnot... despite that, what did the setting say? the total opposite!

    Beware of that flaw in the settings... you may end up with a surprise if you don't disable it (a.k.a. emptied bank accounts if you're doing something like that while on the run)

    As I said earlier, I put it on this laptop as a test, and so far I'm really not impressed at all with Microshaft....

    The targeted ads are understandable but the hard disk scanning for illegal content? What the fuck (excuse the language) happened to personal property and intellectual property rights? Honestly this is complete bullshit on their part in my opinion. The fact that you have to login to live and browse to a webpage to disable two advert features from the computer, seriously.... really???  I have to go online and login to a live account to opt out of an invasion of my privacy??

    wow.......

    Not to mention that everyone's hardware ID's have now been logged into a huge database

    Makes me wish I'd done the install on a VM instead of my main on this laptop. I'm not too worried if it bothers me enough I'll backup my archival media and do a clean install after a complete drive wipe. As always, M$ has left a very bad taste in my mouth...

    Shiny, Looks neat, don't get me wrong, but damn.... the whole world bent over at the waist for this one brother......  xD

    Is your SO a Windows 8?

    Some users have problem with the field "User and Password" when trying to connect with Windows 8

    I had this problem when I was installing ConnectX.

    In User name you have to put the microsoft account email and put the password in the password field.

     

    It can be on the Sharing Settings of your folder too.

    In your computer, go to the folder that you want to share, than right click it and go to Properties

    Then go to the Sharing tab and click in Advanced Sharing

    Check the Share this folder box if it's not checked.

    In Share Name, put an easy name (that's the name that you have to put in the ConnectX settings), than go to Permissions and check Full Control in the Allow collum.

    Click OK, than OK and Close the Properties windows.

    Now go to the ConnectX settings in your Xbox and try those new names. ^^

     

    (Sorry bad english)

    For Windows 8 / 8.1 Just share the folder for "Everyone" and use your username//password for logging into your actual computer as your login credentials. Thats how I got it to work for me. Didn't really feel like creating another user, For Linux you'd most likely have to in your smb.conf file

    The problem is, my ISP only speak Arabic. So I cant talk arabic and he doesn't speak english. Here is a pic for my router configuration. Also a pic of my xbox ip. Are the settings correct.

    Can you screenshot your LiNK test results? and did you set the IP Address as a static IP in the xbox's network configuration section?

     

    Also, are you using the current TU?

    If you are, does it timeout?

    Yeah, that won't work for Home -> Pro

     

    Yeah, i know... :p but... there's always ways... i don't really want to re-install the system just to be eligible for a Pro install... (it takes too much time to do 2 re-installs in a row just to get pro)

    You've heard of the bad update they pushed this weekend right? they pushed updates 3 days in a row, last one broke systems...

    I also don't really want to pay microshit more then i have to... but... i'm not a big fan of this "Home user? you have 0 control of your computer!" as in; home user -> Forced updates, Pro user -> Feel free to skip out on this bad update if you want :)

    You've heard of the bad update they pushed this weekend haven't you? they pushed updates 3 days in a row, the last one they pushed broke some computers...

    I did mine with a precracked 8.1 Enterprise. since I messed up the original OEM 8 on this Asus back when I was try to do dual-boot linux on this bullshit UEFI Bios with the secure boot enabled by default. I did get it to work but it screwed with my restore partitions booting ability (Even when I set the flag to active...)

    I really wish Asus had used their desktop and server bios for the laptops instead of that shitty limited one.  T_T
