A new version of freeboot/fbbuild and associated programs has appeared. At this point in time it is probably not much use to anybody* (we have yet to see games require the previous dash not to mention dashlaunch and co can probably bypass it as and when it happens) but it is still good news so it is here. I am assuming most of you reading know what goes but if not the "best" hack you can do on a 360 is known as the JTAG hack or SMC hack (although MS blocked it nearly two years ago), those using it to play with commercial games as well can not run stock kernels so we have the rebooter hacked kernels that allow for a lot of good stuff when combined with a program like dashlaunch and this program/tool is for those with JTAG machines to allow them to build a hacked kernel to flash to their 360.
*not to mention you might lose some of the patches that did not make it into freeboot or dashlaunch itself.
Oh and it has been the case for a while now but the suggested software flashing tool is NANDFlasher360 as opposed to Flash360. Likewise it seems that ignoring batch files Easy Freeboot 5.31 is the first to support this new fbbuild although we still suggest you use the command line version.

Dash Launch got an update to match. Relevant part of the NFO
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->v2.23

hddalive is similar to the wii stuff (a patch was made for an older dashlaunch some time back) to keep the hard drive from going into a rest state and having to spin back up causing lag or worse.
A small little tool to get Xell back in full working order.

============
Introduction:
=============
ÂÂÂÂSad to hear the rumor of ikari stepping down, and even sadder to hear
ÂÂÂÂof the profiteers taking advantage of this... we bring you a tribute
ÂÂÂÂto ikari. If you paid for this, get a refund!
ÂÂÂÂfbBuild is a NAND image builder made to suit freeBoot style images,
ÂÂÂÂthe included patches and freboot.bin core are based on the original
ÂÂÂÂworks done by ikari.
ÂÂÂÂIt is suitable to build rebooter images for all current JTAG exploit
ÂÂÂÂcompatible xbox 360's. As with ibuild produced images, this version
ÂÂÂÂonly requires a single flash 16MiB in size or larger.
What's New:
===========
ÂÂÂÂ- detect and optionally retain NAND MU data in 64 and 256/512M dumps
ÂÂÂÂ- optionally configure which power on button starts xell
ÂÂÂÂ- bug fixes
Current Limitations:
====================
ÂÂÂÂ- STAY THE HELL OFF LIVE! Nuff said, we're not you're mum.
How To Use:
===========
ÂÂÂÂ- See individual folders for lists of files to provide
ÂÂÂÂ- if desired provide replacement cpu and 1bl keys in text files
ÂÂÂÂ- open a command window in the fbBuild directory
ÂÂÂÂ- on the command line type, for example:
ÂÂÂÂexample - if you provided keys in appropriate text files
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂfbbuild.exe -c falcon -d myfalcon myfalconout.bin
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ-c falcon = use falcon bl and patch set
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ-d myfalcon = a folder is present called "myfalcon" with per machine files
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂmyfalconout.bin = the file that will be produced
ÂÂÂÂ- type fbbuild.exe -? for command line info
Block Remapping & nanddump.bin:
===============================
ÂÂÂÂFirst, don't expect the method used to be perfect for every dump. The idea is,
ÂÂÂÂif you have a working JTAG you can dump it's current NAND by running something
ÂÂÂÂlike Flash360 on it and the final freeboot image that is produced will mirror
ÂÂÂÂany existing remappings. Also, fbbuild should be able to take your current
ÂÂÂÂsmc.bin, kv.bin and smc_config.bin straight from the dump (external files
ÂÂÂÂoverrule/replace ones in the dump) provided it can decrypt them when needed.
ÂÂÂÂMost original.bin dumps using hardware methods will also produce usable
ÂÂÂÂremappings as well, with the exception of bad dumps which may produce some
ÂÂÂÂunusual issues with default settings. Corrupt or incomplete dumps will turn up
ÂÂÂÂa lot of unusual errors, the option "noecdremap" was added to work around such
ÂÂÂÂissues, and the option "noremap" was added so that a dump can be used to aquire
ÂÂÂÂsmc.bin, smc config and keyvault without applying any remaps to the final image.
.ini files:
===========
ÂÂÂÂJust a word on the format... the ini parser is not very robust, the files need
ÂÂÂÂto be plain ACII, everything after a; on a line is ignored, and spaces are
ÂÂÂÂnot acceptable (they get removed).
ÂÂÂÂThings like CPU key and 1BL key, if present in the per box ini file need not be
ÂÂÂÂplaced anywhere else.
Note:
=====
ÂÂÂÂ- for those of you using donor data, the security files shouldn't pose a
ÂÂÂÂproblem but make sure the CPU key you use is from the machine that donated
ÂÂÂÂthe kv instead of the target machine you are building the image for.
ÂÂÂÂ- DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU NEED IT! Using an incorrect
ÂÂÂÂcontroller config can result in problems remapping bad blocks (even manually.)
ÂÂÂÂIf you have a 16M jasper, an additional build type has been added
ÂÂÂÂ'jaspersb', by default the image will be built for jasper with big block
ÂÂÂÂcontroller (config 00023010), use this alternate switch to build for small
ÂÂÂÂblock controller (config 01198010.)
ÂÂÂÂ- the /bin and /data folders are legacy folders from ibuild's format, they
ÂÂÂÂare not required or recommended.
Multi build/options example:
============================
ÂÂÂÂwhen you specify -f 9199 on the command line:
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ9199\filelist.ini
ÂÂÂÂis parsed instead of data\filelist.ini
ÂÂÂÂAlso the bin directory is used from
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ9199\bin\
ÂÂÂÂinstead of
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂbin\
ÂÂÂÂallowing anyone to create multiple builds without multiple instances or
ÂÂÂÂrebuilds/hex edits/hacks of the main app.
ÂÂÂÂThe example provided is the last version of 9199 patch set from dash launch and
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂother files to build freeboot 9199
ÂÂÂÂexample use:
ÂÂÂÂ------------
ÂÂÂÂfbbuild -c xenon -f 9199 -d myxenon x9199out.bin -o nodvd -o cygnos
ÂÂÂÂ-c xenonÂÂÂÂ: specifies xenon patchset and bootloaders
ÂÂÂÂ-f 9199ÂÂÂÂ : use .\9199\filelist.ini, and .\9199\ for firmware files, .\9199\bin\ for rebooter files
ÂÂÂÂ-d myxenonÂÂ: use .\myxenon for per build files (cpu key, keyvault, security files etc.)
ÂÂÂÂ-o nodvdÂÂÂÂ: uses alternate tray check in bootstrap for those with problems with default one
ÂÂÂÂ-o cygnosÂÂ : sets UART speed to cygnos compatible in bootstrap
ÂÂÂÂx9199out.bin: override auto generated name and produce .\x9199out.bin as the final NAND image
ÂÂÂÂnote, if -d ***** is not specified it will still use the original /data and /bin dirs

[title
ash launch v2.23 NFO]<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Dash Launch 2.23
----------------
****
ÂÂÂÂat time of this writing, this is ONLY compatible with "freeBOOT" versions:
ÂÂÂÂ9199, 12611, 12625, 13146, 13599
ÂÂÂÂRegardless of version, you must update if offered to the included patch
ÂÂÂÂset to retain full functionality (xbox1 in particular)
ÂÂÂÂread info_launch.ini for info on options and setting launch parameters.
****
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂOverview - what it does
================================================================================
- It will launch a XeX or CON file from the path you specified in launch.ini
ÂÂÂÂas long as it's valid
- Depending on the button you hold when the xbox is trying to load the NXE, it
ÂÂÂÂwill divert to the xex/con tied to that button or return to default as
ÂÂÂÂdefined in launch.ini
- At boot time it is possible to subvert default item and/or NXE loading, but
ÂÂÂÂyou must wait until the controller syncs to do so, and the controller must
ÂÂÂÂsync to the top left quadrant (player 1.)
- Depending which button is held when closing miniblade in NXE (use Y button to
ÂÂÂÂclose, release then hold a QL button) it will quick launch a CON or XEX
ÂÂÂÂfrom your ini file
- allows one to patch kernel/xam at bootup with a freeBOOT patch style bin file
ÂÂÂÂfrom usb or hdd (in that order) must be in root of the device and be named
ÂÂÂÂ"kxam.patch" and be no larger than 0x4000 bytes. Again, kxam.patch binary
ÂÂÂÂformat is the same as a compiled freeboot patch bin, but uses real virtual
ÂÂÂÂaddresses rather than offsets - see 1.0 release for a windows patch builder
- with the included patch set, launch.xex acts as a helper to detect when
ÂÂÂÂxbox1 emulator loads, allowing memory unlock patch and xbox1 emulator
ÂÂÂÂto function together
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂInstallation
================================================================================
- have the required freeboot version installed on the console
- get the installer to a place where you can run it, and do so. Follow onscreen
ÂÂÂÂinstructions. The installer will prompt you if it needs to update the
ÂÂÂÂfreeboot patches and will give you an opportunity to configure the new
ÂÂÂÂoptions
- edit and place launch.ini where you would like it, see note below as well
ÂÂÂÂ**See inlcuded sample and the info ini which describes the options allowed**
note: the installer includes upgrade paths for dash launch 1.0 users, it will
ÂÂÂÂoptionally update launch.ini files wherever found to use the new path names
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂUpdaters and Avatars
================================================================================
- this version of dash launch contains an update blocker that is enabled by
ÂÂÂÂdefault. There are two ways around this if you wish to install the bits and
ÂÂÂÂpieces used by the dash for kinect and avatars
ÂÂÂÂ1 - place the updater that matches this version on removable media, and
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrename the folder from $SystemUpdate to $$ystemUpdate
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ----OR----
ÂÂÂÂ2 - place an ini where dash launch can find it and set the noupdater option
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂto false - noupdater = false
****
NOTE that some games WILL prompt you to update the console if avatars are
ÂÂÂÂnot installed, this doesn't mean they have an update to actually put in, it
ÂÂÂÂjust means it needs avatar/kinect bins/resources to run
****
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂLIVEblocker
================================================================================
- if you are like me, and keep your consoles off the net then this option is
ÂÂÂÂfor you. It's capable of blocking the resolution of the LIVE specific
ÂÂÂÂservers and does so by default, with an additional option in the ini file
ÂÂÂÂit will attempt to block access to all MS servers. The default option is
ÂÂÂÂset up to block only LIVE servers, which still allows programs like FSD to
ÂÂÂÂaccess covers and such.
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂImportant - going to NXE
================================================================================
- if you need to go back to NXE and have default item set in ini, HOLD RB while
ÂÂÂÂexiting game via miniblade or exit using one of the miniblade options like
ÂÂÂÂfamily settings or system settings
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂINI notes
================================================================================
-it's possible to have multiple ini files, priority is: USB, HDD, BB MU, FLASH
ÂÂÂÂ(** it is NOT recommended to launch USB con/xex from hdd ini **)
ÂÂÂÂthe first one found on the devices in that order will be the one used.
ÂÂÂÂ-see http://code.jellycan.com/simpleini/ for more info on the ini parser
-if you find your ini file is not working, open it in a hex editor and ensure
ÂÂÂÂthat windows didn't convert it to a non-ASCII format by putting identifyer
ÂÂÂÂbytes at the beginning of the file. The first charater in a hex editor
ÂÂÂÂshould be whatever the first character you have in the ini file, not
ÂÂÂÂnon-character codes like 0xFF or similar
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂCaveats
================================================================================
The work herein is presented as-is, any risk is solely the end users
ÂÂÂÂresponsibility. While all of us are sorry when unforseen things happen, not
ÂÂÂÂevery situation or mistake can be accounted for before they have been
ÂÂÂÂspotted. Please use responsibly.

-initial release<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
ash launch v2.23 NFO]<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->Dash Launch 2.23----------------
****
ÂÂÂÂat time of this writing, this is ONLY compatible with "freeBOOT" versions:
ÂÂÂÂ9199, 12611, 12625, 13146, 13599
ÂÂÂÂRegardless of version, you must update if offered to the included patch
ÂÂÂÂset to retain full functionality (xbox1 in particular)
ÂÂÂÂread info_launch.ini for info on options and setting launch parameters.
****
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂOverview - what it does
================================================================================
- It will launch a XeX or CON file from the path you specified in launch.ini
ÂÂÂÂas long as it's valid
- Depending on the button you hold when the xbox is trying to load the NXE, it
ÂÂÂÂwill divert to the xex/con tied to that button or return to default as
ÂÂÂÂdefined in launch.ini
- At boot time it is possible to subvert default item and/or NXE loading, but
ÂÂÂÂyou must wait until the controller syncs to do so, and the controller must
ÂÂÂÂsync to the top left quadrant (player 1.)
- Depending which button is held when closing miniblade in NXE (use Y button to
ÂÂÂÂclose, release then hold a QL button) it will quick launch a CON or XEX
ÂÂÂÂfrom your ini file
- allows one to patch kernel/xam at bootup with a freeBOOT patch style bin file
ÂÂÂÂfrom usb or hdd (in that order) must be in root of the device and be named
ÂÂÂÂ"kxam.patch" and be no larger than 0x4000 bytes. Again, kxam.patch binary
ÂÂÂÂformat is the same as a compiled freeboot patch bin, but uses real virtual
ÂÂÂÂaddresses rather than offsets - see 1.0 release for a windows patch builder
- with the included patch set, launch.xex acts as a helper to detect when
ÂÂÂÂxbox1 emulator loads, allowing memory unlock patch and xbox1 emulator
ÂÂÂÂto function together
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂInstallation
================================================================================
- have the required freeboot version installed on the console
- get the installer to a place where you can run it, and do so. Follow onscreen
ÂÂÂÂinstructions. The installer will prompt you if it needs to update the
ÂÂÂÂfreeboot patches and will give you an opportunity to configure the new
ÂÂÂÂoptions
- edit and place launch.ini where you would like it, see note below as well
ÂÂÂÂ**See inlcuded sample and the info ini which describes the options allowed**
note: the installer includes upgrade paths for dash launch 1.0 users, it will
ÂÂÂÂoptionally update launch.ini files wherever found to use the new path names
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂUpdaters and Avatars
================================================================================
- this version of dash launch contains an update blocker that is enabled by
ÂÂÂÂdefault. There are two ways around this if you wish to install the bits and
ÂÂÂÂpieces used by the dash for kinect and avatars
ÂÂÂÂ1 - place the updater that matches this version on removable media, and
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂrename the folder from $SystemUpdate to $$ystemUpdate
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ----OR----
ÂÂÂÂ2 - place an ini where dash launch can find it and set the noupdater option
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂto false - noupdater = false
****
NOTE that some games WILL prompt you to update the console if avatars are
ÂÂÂÂnot installed, this doesn't mean they have an update to actually put in, it
ÂÂÂÂjust means it needs avatar/kinect bins/resources to run
****
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂLIVEblocker
================================================================================
- if you are like me, and keep your consoles off the net then this option is
ÂÂÂÂfor you. It's capable of blocking the resolution of the LIVE specific
ÂÂÂÂservers and does so by default, with an additional option in the ini file
ÂÂÂÂit will attempt to block access to all MS servers. The default option is
ÂÂÂÂset up to block only LIVE servers, which still allows programs like FSD to
ÂÂÂÂaccess covers and such.
================================================================================
ÂÂÂÂImportant - going to NXE
================================================================================
- if you need to go back to NXE and have default item set in ini, HOLD RB while
ÂÂÂÂexiting game via miniblade or exit using one of the miniblade options like
ÂÂÂÂfamily settings or system settings
================================================================================

ÂÂÂÂ(** it is NOT recommended to launch USB con/xex from hdd ini **)

A small little tool to get Xell back in full working order.
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->XeLL Updater for freeBOOT - v1.2
for Kernel 9199, 12611, 12625, 13146 and 13599
Based on dashlaunch installer by cOz
_____________________________________
This little tool is needed to update XeLL in Flash/NAND properly. The freeBOOT/fbBuild Rebooter has a different
layout compared to XBR or pure-XeLL images so the XeLL binary isn't at the beginning of a NAND Block anymore.
Using the old updslot0/updslot1-Method (which worked on XBR and XeLL Images just fine) you would render your
freeBOOT console non-booting (until you reflash it externally of course).
This application however works for freeBOOT/fbBuild It reads the specific part of the NAND, injects
the XeLL binary and writes the blocks back.
Use it on Single-NAND freeBOOT only (9199, 12611, 12625, 13146 and 13599).
How to use?
1. Rename xell-2f.bin to updxell.bin and stuff it together with the default.xex on your xbox.
2. Execute the XEX and confirm the update.
3. Shutdown your XBOX, press eject to power on and you will be greeted with an updated XeLL
/!\ As every other tool that modifies NAND: Use it at your own risk /!\
