XeBuild FreeBOOT NAND Update Tutorial

Recommended Posts

Today I am going to show you just how easy it is to update your JTAG/RGH Xbox 360 game console with XeBuild's new built in updater. Thank you to the team behind XeBuild for your ongoing support of the xbox console and for always keeping us up to date, without you there would be no xbox 360 scene.

 

 I encourage everyone to send a small donation to the XeBuild team at donations@realmodscene.com 

 

First thing you need to do is download XeBuild, Dashlaunch, 16537 and the common packages posted at the bottom of this page. Extract the Dashlaunch package and in the extracted folder you will see a folder named 'Installer', move this folder and the default.xex it contains over to your xbox 360 HDD, USB or internal memory (anywhere you can access it using your F3 Filemanager).  Navigate to the default.xex in the installer folder on your xbox console and run the it.

 

This is the dashlaunch installer, it will prompt you to update as soon as it is launch as the version of dashlaunch on your console is older then the version you are running. Follow the onscreen prompts and it will install dashlaunch and shut down the console. Turn the console back on and load the dashlaunch installer default.xex again. You will be greeted with the Current Options screen, go down to the last option in the list 'Configurator' and click A to expand the menu. The 3rd option down will be 'updserv' and it will be disabled, enable it and leave dashlaunch running on your console.

 

Now go back to your computer and extract the XeBuild and common packages, take the 111 files from the common package and copy them into the 'common' folder from the extracted XeBuild package. Extract the 16537 package and place the '$Systemupdate' folder you get from it in the XeBuild 16537 folder. 

 

Back out of the 16537 folder so you are now in the XeBuild folder, make sure no files or folders are highlighted or selected. Hold shift on your keyboard and right click in an empty part of the folder being sure not to click on any of the files or folders and you will see an option in the right click menu that says 'open command window here', click it.

You have now been greeted with a beautiful command prompt window already in the XeBuild folder just waiting for you to tell it what to do. Type in the following command

 

xebuild update -f 16537

Press enter and stand back and watch XeBuild work it's magic! XeBuild will now read your NAND, create an updated freeBOOT image for your, flash it to your NAND and then apply the Avatar and Kinect data to your console. When it is done the console will reboot and you will be in the updated stock dashboard once the console loads up.

 

 

Now wasn't that easy?  Thank you XeBuild!

Tried to update from 16203 to 16537 but get the following error when building NAND.

Tried 2 different methods:

1. When following the tut get ximedic.exe error.

2. With XeBuild GUI V2.091 gives error listing shoen below.

 

Can someone tell me if this will be a problem when I try to update the console?

Download the System update and put it in the 16537 folder... (the su file is what you need to build the nand)the easiest way is to just grab xeBuild GUI and use the xebuild included with it ;)

Had done quite a few updates this way on rgh systems without any errors. Today i had a customers falcon dash 14699 rgh1 which gave me the hv patches update error.

I removed fsd (old version), installed new one, installed newest dashlaunch and enabled updsrvr. Ran this command in xebuild 1.08 map:

xebuild.exe client -p and it updated the hv patches! SO MANY THANKS TO THE MEMBER WHO POSTED THIS EARLIER IN THIS THREAD!!

 

After that i shut down the xbox, restarted, launched dashlaunch (through installer) to enable updsvr again and gave the command:

xebuild update -f 16537 and it updated like all the times before.

 

Thanks everyone who took the time to answer this questions with their great information. Don't think (or see a way) that i could have accomplished the hv patches update through Jrunner, but enlighten me if it would have been possible too. Jrunner kept giving me the same error whilst updating, but this xebuild.exe client -p command saved the day!

 

cheers.

Check your router settings, that IP looks like it's a public one, you need to be in a local area network...

Thank you Swizzy, it was a networking issue which I have now resolved. But now I am getting the same error as gregormnb:

*** could not read cf_1653.bin (-1) ***

******* ERROR: critical bootloader files are missing, cannot proceed!

***** FATAL UPDATE ERROR: -1 unable to complete NAND image

Im not sure where to get the exBuild GUI from, is it the file that was included in the first post exBuild_1.09.zip?Sorry for the noob questions but I am new to all this.

Thanks again.
