Hacking Fatal Crash Intercepted

[tokebuzz]

Hi All.

I'e been given a 360 that appears to be jtagged, I'm not sure what plugins or anything its running.

It sticks on "fatal crash interception" every boot, with both HDD in or out.

Using a completely blank launch.ini on USB it still occurs.

If I use a normal launch.ini but with blank settingsI seem to be able to get into the dash, but I can't actually log anything.

XEXEmenu 1.1 seems to go to a black screen and stall. Attempting to configure a USB stick to suit the 360 runs into the same fatal crash interception error.



Unfortunately since I was given the broken 360, I don't have any idea what's loaded on it currently. I know xexemenu 1.1 and nxe2god are on it. Attached current system details I can get.


Any help would be greatly appreciated, at the moment I am unable to test if xell works, as it tends to not work with my HDMI cable and my TV doesn't have RCA inputs.

fatal crash intercepted is a dashlaunch error, so you're on the right track. it sounds like you might have a botched update installed. try composite with xell. xell reloaded and xellous use hdmi, but xell requires composite. do you have a backup nand?

Sadly no nand, as it was basically a "i don't know what to do with this, its broken you can have it". Type of gift.

**EDIT** not sure if there is a copy of the nand on it's hdd or whatnot...

 

[godreborn]

currently, it's on kernel 12611. the latest is 17xxx. I don't know how you can dump the nand with software or even if that would work if something is corrupted. you may be able to use a dummy nand, but I have no experience with that.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

btw, you can update through xell. I just don't know about dumping the nand if you're encountering this problem. I use nand flasher 360 to do this, which you can get into with xexmenu or FSD/aurora, but obviously if you can't boot into xexmenu without a black screen, that's not going to help you. I don't think you can uninstall dashlaunch once installed without just building a new nand image and flashing it minus dashlaunch patches.

Right, so best bet would be to borrow an older TV and use composite cables just to see if Xell is even running. I'm just assuming it is as the box stays on, green lit, and the tv fails to get a signal.

Is there a way I could read the hdd and remove the plugins either remotely or if I physically removed it? Or even just view the hdd to see if there's a nand on it?

 

[godreborn]

party buffalo I believe can read the hdd. yeah, you'll get no video signal if you try running xell without composite.

 

[tokebuzz]

Just clarifying, if I manage to get into xell, dump the nand... then reflash... is there any risk to that? Because if the nand is stuffed, its just going to put a bad nand back on?

Jrunner or Xebuild should tell you if its borked, but you'll be rebuilding it anyways so if it can be salvaged, the programs will do it for you. I think the biggest issue is that this xbox hasnt been updated in a very long time. Xexmenu is at 1.2 now and as @godreborn mentioned, theres like 20 dash updates since the one you have on there. Hell, what version of Xell is even on it? If its far enough forward you can access your system by connecting it to your router, then when xell boots up, type in the network config address and itll pull up a menu where you can get your kv and download the raw nand flash.

Edit: This is contingent on being able to boot into xell though. Def want to get that far at least. If you can't, you may need a hardware flasher

I suggest reading this and this.
The FSD tut is a tad outdated but you can substitute the xexmenu cd's Dashlaunch for the latest dashlaunch by loading it off off a FAT32 USB drive.

Forget about any data still on the console, just format the drive and start from scratch.
