C4E's iXtreme LTplus v3.0 for BenQ and FAT Lite-On
>> C4E released the iXtreme LT+ v3.0 CFW for the BenQ (Philips-BENQ/LiteOn VAD6038/1650V) and FAT Lite-On (Philips-LiteOn VAD6039/DG-16D2S) drives:
[QUOTE]
C4E's iXtreme LT+ in association with Team Jungle & Team Xecuter
Official release of the iXtreme LT+ v3.0 for Benq and phat Liteons
- Support for topology data on AP25 enabled titles. Will correctly answer any ap25 challenge eliminating need for dae.bin to create a backup.
- No need to make new backups everytime dae.bin is updated on console
Topology Data
When ap25 was first introduced I devised a way of calculating any challenge which I called the silver bullet which I made reference to a long time ago.
This was withheld until it was absolutely necessary. It was easier to replay the fixed challenges.
With unique per console ap25 challenges it has become necessary to use the silver bullet.
A series of measurements are taken across the disk. This topology data is then used to calculate a response to any ap25 challenge.
It is very important that the drive used to create the topology data is reliable at reading discs as bad topology data equals bad ap25 responses.
Liteon drives using 0800 v3 seem to be more accurate for this purpose. Only ap25 enabled titles require topology data. Activation of ap25 on older non-ap25 games although technically possible is highly unlikely.
Currently topology data for xgd3 titles are similar and topology data from one xgd3 title will pass on another xgd3 title although this is not advisable.
Per title title topology data is best as there are slight differences between titles and newer titles could have different topology than existing ones.
I would like to wish everyone a merry xmas and a happy new year. I look forward to the challenges ahead.
Thanks go to Team Jungle for their hard work and efforts in the development process.
Thanks also go to Team Xecuter for their support to this project.

XNand Healer GUI v0.73
>> TingedAce released a new version of XNand Healer GUI - a GUI app to help you dump and manage NAND files, remap bad blocks and also uncripple your Xbox 360.
What's new/fixed (since v0.71):
- This release is for small but important change to the build glitch image feature. It's possible for another Multibuilder operation e.g. "build JTAG image with custom smc" to leave an smc.bin file in the data\my360 folder. The next time xeBuild is invoked by Xnandhealer (or from cmd line) the build would erroneously pick up this smc and cause a bad image build.
Now any leftover smc.bin file that may be present in the Data\my360 folder will be removed before building the image, thus ensuring the correct smc is always used.
- Supports xeBuild 14699 and Multibuilder 0.6 (old ggBuild now not supported)
- Supports automatic XeLL bad block remapping in first 0x50 blocks (first 0x10 big blocks)
- Added option for including dashlaunch patches or not
- Added 'Glitchable' CB check (as well as JTAGable check)
- Added convenient button to open windows explorer at the working directory
- Updated known CB list with non-glitchable CBs 4577, 5772 & 6752
- Changed: USB is now the default interface instead of LPT
- Changed: Now uses xell image + other files from Multibuilder folder and removed embedded versions
- Changed: Removed in-built fcrt extractor (xeBuild does it now) Fixed: Unable to select Jasp16 SB or BB in Build XeLL tab or Build Glitch tab
- Fixed: Relocated bad blocks could be reported in reverse order in a very few cases

FSD v2.2 Installer
>> From teamfsd.com:
[QUOTE]
Well here is a new tool from TeamFSD just for you.
It allows you to do either a local, or online install of FSD and Dashlaunch.
It can be run from either LIVE, DVD, or Extracted (packages included)
Live package needs to be copied to Content\0000000000000000 in order to show up in NXE
Basically a one stop shop. Run from media of choice, choose where to install, what to install and where to get media (local or internet) and press go.
When installing Dashlaunch it will setup the launch on startup for the requested FSD install dir

Team Xecuter Mysterious 'DemoN' and a Pin Header Cable
>> From /team-xecuter.com:
[QUOTE]
While the others were fixing their glitch chip problems and releasing a bunch of revised versions, instead of doing it right first time like the Xecuter CoolRunner, we were making something else that is totally awesome and will take jtag/glitching to the next level.
Coming very soon :)
On a side note a lot of users have asked us to do a Pin Header cable set for the Nand-X and CoolRunner as the current Nand-X pin header set is popular with none QSB users so we designed that too. The first batches were shipped today to retailers.

Some Additional Info as the Christmas Eve Release of iXtreme LT+ v3.0 Nears
>> From c4evaspeaks.com:
[QUOTE]
With the final testing stage of BenQ and phat Lite-On underway in preparation for the scheduled Christmas Eve release of c4eva’s iXtreme LT+ v3.0, we thought we’d drop some additional bits of info into your Stockings in the form of answers to some recent questions.
Version 3.0 of iXtreme LT+ for BenQ and Lite-On (both phat and slim) does in fact retain support for truncated backups, although it is strongly recommended to use full burns made with a compatible Lite-On iHAS drive flashed with the iXtreme Burner MAX fw. Support for truncated backups, however, remains excluded from Hitachi in its forthcoming 3.0 version.
While abgx360 v1.0.6 remains in progress, the new version of Xbox Backup Creator can be used temporarily as an alternative for injecting the necessary new AP25 topology data files into existing backup ISOs. XBC doesn’t perform the same degree of validation of topology data files, and provides no means to verify their authenticity or correctness, so be very cautious if using files from unknown sources until abgx360 is released. In addition to extracting/injecting AP25 topology data files, the new XBC also works with the existing 0800 v3.0 ripping firmware to dump backup ISOs that include proper topology data from original game discs. At the time of writing, it has yet to be definitively determined whether the new XBC will be released alongside LT v3.0, or if it will be released later. The new abgx360 is still under heavy development, and will release in due time.
Recently, there have been some rumors and bogus info spread by a sad individual that is attempting to trick and confuse people with fake release dates, false info, bogus IRC channels and Facebook accounts (note: we don’t post on Facebook, only Twitter), and mislabeling things as “official” when they are in fact not. We’d like to remind users that the only official sources for news and info from c4eva and the team are here at c4evaSpeaks.com, the #c4e channel on EFNet IRC, the Team-Xecuter, JungleFlasher, and abgx360 websites, as well as reliable news outlets such as Xbox-Scene. Be wary of news or information from other outlets that don’t cite the official #c4e IRC channel or one of the aforementioned sites as the original source.

Matrix Glitcher II
>> From infinitymod.com:
[QUOTE]
We are proud to announce the availability of the Matrix Glitcher II.
Thanks to the hundreds of feedbacks we received from our distributors and testers around the world, we decided to release an updated version of the Matrix Glitcher.
Some of the new features include:
* Preprogrammed with a brand new and advanced Matrix Glitching code.
* Compatible with all Xbox360 SLIM and FAT models (except Corona and Xenon motherboard)
* On board switch to quickly select console type and model.
* Future-proof updateable with external USB programmer (not included).
* After-installation fine tuning of glitch timings to better fit each different console (external USB programmer needed)
* Unique Serial code identification for each Glitcher II verifiable online.
By connecting the GLitcher II to a PC (using the same external programmer as the one used in the Matrix Freedom PCB), the installer will be able to cycle through 7 different timings for each console models of the Fat Xbox360 and 3 different timings settings for the Slim Xbox360.
This will allow the installers to fine tune the Glitcher II to the best available settings for each console.
More features will be given with future software releases, to enable an even more deep interaction of the Matrix Glitcher II with your Xbox360.
Goods are in stock and already shipping to our official resellers. You can find the nearest one to you on our Resellers page.
Installation Diagrams are already available here. A small tutorial on the use of the External Programmer to connect the Matrix Glitcher II to the PC and how to use the “Fine Tuning” feature will be available shortly.
Hope you all will enjoy this new product as much as we enjoyed developing it.

The x360Glitchip v1.4 is coming
>> From x360glitchip.com:
[QUOTE]
This new version of soulheaven's Glitch chip brings further functionnalities.
1. 2 LEDs in order to know the state of the chip
In Standby mode :
- Green Light : Your chip is flashed
- Red Light : Your chip is empty
In Working mode :
- Green Light : Your chip is waiting for POST Signal
- Red Light : Your chip is processing a RESET
2. Improvments of Slim boot timings
Indeed, this new revision of the chip brings a huge optimisation on Slim boots.
AND MORE, without any useless 50cm long wire, that make interference and block RGH boot.
The chip has been optimised for 80% of Slims, but for the others 20%, you will be able to optimize the boot manualy
by adding a 4cm to 8cm wire directly on the chip.
3. Improvments of FAT Compatibilities
Indeed, several FAT motherboard (most often Jasper) have difficulties to boots correctly. This new revision
solve the problem for most of them.
4. Integration of (un)activation of the chip for the dual nand installation
Indeed, today you don't need any additional external circuit or any relay in order to unactive the chip during the usage
of a dual nand.
With a Cygnos v2 (For example), only one wire is needed between the Cygnos v2 and the x360Glitchip v1.4.
The x360Glitchip will automaticly be unactived during the boot of the retail dual nand.
You will ask us, but when this new revision will be available ?
THIS WEEK !!! We advise all our resellers to order now the new revision. The current available quantity is small.
We remind you that the RGH is NOT compatible with followings motherboard :
- Corona (Slim manufactured since the 17 Aug 2011)
- FAT with a CB Stage 2
This is not due to the chip, but due to the hack itself.
