LPT 25 port xbox 360 nand I can't take any credit for this idea as I know a few other people round here already use this setup. Same goes for the info on where to solder the various wires etc. I've simply gathered all the required info and tried to put it together here in one noob friendly tut  .Anyway, the plan here is to create one neat and tidy cable that can be used to dump and flash your 360's NAND simply by plugging into a specially created Ethernet port. The benefits of this being the cable can be used on multiple 360's without constant resoldering or messy wires hanging out your box.    What you'll need  RJ45 Ethernet Network LAN Cable Extension Adapter - I bought mine on eBay at £3 for 10 Cat5 patch cable D-Sub hood 25-way - I bought mine in Maplin for about £1.60 part #FP29G DB25 25-way male plug - I bought mine in Maplin for about £1.50 part #YQ48C Other things you'll need are 5x100 ohm resistors and possibly some zip ties for securing your wiring.  The idea here is pretty simple. All you're going to do is match the colours marked on the Xbox motherboard with the db25 plug. But instead of going straight from one to the other you're going to have an Ethernet cable extender in the middle. This will allow you to unplug/connect you're 360 to your PC quickly and whenever you want. Cut your Cat5 cable in half and prepare both ends for soldering. I recommend keeping the cable between your Xbox and PC as short as possible. After a bit of trial and error I found 35-40cm to be about right. The cable inside your Xbox should also be as short as possible.   Solder your wires to the Xbox motherboard following my diagram above. Find a good spot to place your Ethernet extender and secure it in place. I cut a hole in the metal shielding behind the DVD drive and hot glued the extender in place. I then cut a small hole on the outer case under the hard drive to allow easy access to the port whenever needed. When not in use the port is hidden under the hard drive. Next you need to solder the other half of your Cat5 cable to the DB25 plug. Be careful to match up with the correct wires you soldered to the 360's motherboard!. Depending on your PC you may or may not need to install some 100 ohm resistors on pins 1,2,14,16 and 17. Some people will get away without them but in my case the NAND would not dump correctly unless I had resistors in place. You may also need to fit a switching diode to pin 11 if you are not getting the correct FlashConfig (normal config being 0x1198010). I had no issues so there was no need for me to fit the diode.  Just so there is no confusion on which pin is which.....  Fit your D-sub hood and you're all done  . За Марио и Resident evil скоро! FREE BOOT** NOTE : There is still no XBR_hack for jasper 256 and 512 yet. The very first thing you need to check, is your xbox kernel. At the time of writing, the most recent kernel is : 2.0.8955.0
 As of 5/12/09 (December 5th 2009) If you have kernel 2.0.8495.0 or HIGHER, YOU CANNOT INSTALL XBReboot. If you have kernel 2.0.7371.0 or lower, there is one more check to do, which requires you to read the nand chip with a homemade lpt nand reader. USB Version ** There is no other 100% way of knowing your CB version without reading the nand. Follow this thread to build a cable, Simple Db-25/cat5 Lpt Nand Dump/flash Cable Tut Use this site to determine which motherboard type you have : Xbox 360 revisions Once the cable is ready and double checked, grab nandpro20b from Xbins (Make sure its version 2.0b) Follow these steps to read your nand :
How to make sure you have a good dump :
 (This picture shows an unexploitable CB version) If Degraded shows you some bad blocks, refer to the bad blocks section at the end of the guide. Check which version of CB you have. Exploitable CB versions: 1888, 1902, 1903, 1920,1921: exploitable xenon 4558: exploitable Zephyr 5761, 5766, 5770: exploitable falcon 6712, 6723: exploitable jasper These CB versions are patched so the JTAG/SMC Hack is no longer working: (CD = 8453 for all of them) Xenon: 1922, 1923, 1940 Zephyr: 4571, 4572, 4578, 4579 Falcon/Opus: 5771 Jasper: 6750 More info here : Xbox 360 Kernel If you have an exploitable CB , then you are in luck , if you dont, then for now , there is nothing you can do but find another xbox 360. So you have a 7371 or ealier kernel , and an exploitable CB you can install the JTAG HACK Refer to the picture for your motherboard under the Required Soldering topic. Once you wired your 360 this way, you install XBR to your nand. *You 360 will not boot at this point, it needs code contained in XBR to boot with the JTAG hack. Flashing XBR to your nand :
I've gathered this from reading other people's posts, as i have not experienced any problems at all, except read errors above 0x200 while making first dump of my nand. Nandpro / LPT notes : You should try to keep your cable as short as possible to avoid errors. Nandpro FATAL ERROR :
If Degraded shows you some bad blocks, you will have to move the blocks from your xbr.bin to where they are remapped.  You can try this tool , although it wasn't tested much : Bad Block Remapper If you want to do it manually, you have to do this:
I paid for a lot of microsoft xbla games, and i believe it is my right to play on both my xbox as i please, so here i will give the gross method of playing your 360 xbla games and dlc on this XBR kernel.
Feel free to let me know if anything needs to change, if anything was out of line (rules wise) or if the topic is even in the right section |
