Swizzy's xeBuild GUI Version 1.0 --------------------------------- ****** If you find a bug, let me know! you can reach me on: [email protected] ****** ****** NOTE: I did NOT create xeBuild! i merely made a frontend/gui for it! ****** ====================================================================== Requirements - What you need to do have in order for this to work! ====================================================================== - Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 or later - Your CPUKey - A dump of your nand ====================================================================== Overview - What it does ====================================================================== - This is a frontend/GUI for xeBuild, what it does is make it easy for you to select most options that you might need, such as Motherboard, SMC hack for freeboot, image type etc. etc. - It is able to check what SMC hack you have previously used for JTAG it's also able to tell you what SMC version you have, and if it's a JTAG, Clean/Retail, Glitch or Cygnos patched SMC :) - If you put any of these files next to the executable it'll use them automaticly: SMC.bin - Custom SMC of your choice; ONLY USE THIS OF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!! Xell.bin - Custom Xell of your choice; ONLY USE THIS OF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!! cpukey.txt - It'll read the first line of this file as CPUKey flashdmp.bin - It'll load this as source nand ;) Default.xml - It'll load any preset settings from this file ;) options.ini - It'll load any custom settings from this (for xeBuild) launch.ini - Settings for Dashlaunch, if you choose to use this setting it'll include this file in the built image ;) ====================================================================== Notes about building retail images ====================================================================== Retail images can be built using this gui, it includes common retail SMC's i've extracted myself, i make no form of garantuee that these are safe to use for your console, some machines might not like the bootloaders etc. which are used by default... ====================================================================== Notes about LDV ====================================================================== There are 3 ways you can get your LDV value: 1. Use Xell and manually count the ammount of "f" on fusesets 07 and 08, the total here is your LDV value. 2. Use Xell and a network connection, doing this the app can read fusesets for you and read cpukey aswell as check what ldv your Xbox 360 should have automaticly for you (this option also sets both) 3. Use 360 Flash Dump Tool and check which value is the highest, this is the one you will want to be using Normally (if you have a good dump that does NOT include data from .ECC file created using RGH python script) xeBuild should be able to extract this value on it's own, if it can't just follow the instructions above... if you don't understand these instructions, ask google! ====================================================================== Notes about FCRT patches ====================================================================== This patch removes the need for FCRT.bin in nand, however, it will NOT work for everyone, it's been enabled in the default configuration, but should be disabled if you are using a machine with a Liteon DG16-D5S FW: 1175, it's been confirmed by me that it doesn't work on these drives all others i've tested has worked just fine, however it can still be a problem for you to have this activated, disable it if games don't work from discs (if you use this feature!) ====================================================================== Changelog - New features and bug fixes ====================================================================== ************** * KNOWN BUGS * ************** - Whiles checking SMC the app may sometimes crash if using a bad dumped image, or an image with badblocks in it... ******* * 1.0 * ******* - Initial release - Dashlaunch 2.27 is the version included with this release - xeBuild 1.0_Hot Fix is the version used with this release - This version supports building the following Dashboard versions: - 2.0.7371.0 - Retail images ONLY - 2.0.9199.0 - JTAG images ONLY - 2.0.12611.0 - JTAG images ONLY - 2.0.12625.0 - JTAG images ONLY - 2.0.13146.0 - JTAG images ONLY - 2.0.13599.0 - JTAG, Retail and Glitch images - 2.0.13604.0 - JTAG, Retail and Glitch images - 2.0.14699.0 - JTAG, Retail and Glitch images * Files for 2.0.14699.0 are included * ====================================================================== Credits - Thanks to: ====================================================================== - cOz - Maker of Dashlaunch, been talking ALOT to him asking for advice - Razkar - Helping me find bugs and giving me general advice/ideas, along with releasing this app on logic-sunrise! :D - Jack Nepacha - Making my new icons, thanks mate ;) - Anyone else that has helped me with anything such as tests, bug finding and such that is not mentioned above, THANK YOU! without testers this app would be pretty much useless compared to the other GUI versions out there ;)
