Sup ttg this is the new xe build to update your dash to 2.0.16197


xeBuild 1.05
============


Introduction:
=============
xeBuild is a command line system image builder for JTAG, glitch, and clean images.
Run the xeBuild program with no (or incorrect) args to see it's useage info.


What's New:
===========
- added corona4g build target, nanddump.bin minimum size (without ecc) is 0x3000000
- minor bug fixes
- add 16197


Current Limitations:
====================
- STAY THE HELL OFF LIVE! Nuff said, we're not you're mum.


How To Use:
===========
- See individual folders for lists of files to provide
- if desired provide replacement cpu and 1bl keys in text files
- open a command window in the xeBuild directory
- on the command line type, for example:

example - if you provided keys in appropriate text files

xeBuild.exe -t glitch -c falcon -d myfalcon myfalconout.bin

-t glitch = build a glitch type image
-c falcon = use falcon bl and patch set
-d myfalcon = a folder is present called "myfalcon" with per machine files, this uses it
myfalconout.bin = the file that will be produced

- type xeBuild.exe -? for command line info


Example:
========
-take original console dump, put it in mytrinity folder as nanddump.bin
-set CPU key and 1BL key in ini file, verify LDV from nanddump.bin matches console fuses
if not set cfldv in ini file
-build (xeBuild.exe -t glitch -d mytrinity -f 13599), flash and hopefully life is good


.ini files:
===========
Just a word on the format... the ini parser is not very robust, the files need
to be plain ASCII, everything after a ; on a line is ignored, and spaces are
not acceptable (they get removed).

Things like CPU key and 1BL key, if present in the per box ini file need not be
placed anywhere else.


Optional Patches:
=================
Various optional patches are included for use with the -a option, they are:
nofcrt - removes fcrt.bin requirement on some drives
nohdd - disables detection of internal SATA HDD
nohdmiwait - HDMI consoles will no longer wait or EXX screen when video is not ready
nomu - disables detection of jasper big block NAND mu
notrinmu - disables detection of trinity 4G internal USB module


Note:
=====
- DON'T USE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW FOR SURE THAT YOU NEED IT! Using an incorrect
controller config can result in problems remapping bad blocks (even manually.)
If you have a 16M jasper, an additional build type has been added
'jaspersb', by default the image will be built for jasper with big block
controller (config 00023010), use this alternate switch to build for small
block controller (config 01198010.)


Multi build/options example:
============================
when you specify -f 13599 on the command line:
13599\filelist.ini
is parsed instead of data\filelist.ini

Also the bin directory is used from
13599\bin\
instead of
bin\
allowing anyone to create multiple builds without multiple instances or
rebuilds/hex edits/hacks of the main app.

The example provided is the last version of 13599 patch set from dash launch and
other files to build freeboot 13599

example use:
------------
xeBuild -f 13599 -d myfalcon x13599out.bin

-f 13599 : use .\13599\filelist.ini, and .\13599\ for firmware files, .\13599\bin\ for patches
-d myfalcon : use .\myfalcon for per build files (cpu key, keyvault, security files, ini etc.)
x13599out.bin: override auto generated name and produce .\x13599out.bin as the final NAND image

note, if -d ***** is not specified it will still use the original /data and /bin dirs


Devkit image building:
======================
This feature is currently considered Beta/Work In Progess.

A new image target type was added, "-t devkit" which builds 64M flash images for devkits. Currently untested,
building with a 00 filled CPU key will create a zeropaired devkit image that may allow one to boot a software
bricked devkit that one does not know the CPU key for and recover it to an operational state. By powering on
the console with such an image present, with a recovery DVD in the drive, the recovery software should be able
to create a new keyvault, re-pair the DVD drive to the new keyvault, and allow normal operation once complete.

Normal devkit image building when one does know their CPU key and thus has security files and keyvault should
work as expected.

Building devkit for glitch/jtag is also possible using the standard -t glitch/jtag methods. Sample ini
have been provided with this release, but will not work unless patches and files are supplied. Note that devkit
is not our focus, but was relatively easy and straight forward option to supply for those that wish to make
use of it.


jasperbigffs:
=============
Those who use large block NAND are now able to nearly double the size of the system file area
with this option with no apparent ill effects. Normally this option wouldn't be needed, but if one
wanted to experiment with more files in flash, or one was building a devkit image for a devkit with
a big block flash, this option is required.

[v0.08 - inspired by ikari]
R.I.P.
No this isn't freeboot, it is a clone and has always been since the last
release of ibuild.

Thanks and greetz to everyone who has contributed to hacking this
wonderful machine. Thanks to the engineers and countless others who made
the machine what it is... we only wish they had listened and RROD was
not a problem. If we were to list everyone here, there would be no time
left to play on the machine!

Thanks Team Xecuter for the Corona 4G! Thanks to JuggaHax, dayton360mods,
glitch360team and all other contributors for helping find a way to make Corona 4G golden!

Thanks to Free60, LibXenon.org, Redline99 and Tuxuser for providing xell builds <3

Thanks to Swizzy for making the official GUI front end for xeBuild, for always
adding the new stuff we shovel at him and never once complaining.

Big thanks to the folks at #freeboot on efnet for the tireless
hours of help you all give freely. Thanks to the testers who tirelessly
made sure stuff worked. Thanks to rgloader for doing the work yourselves,
there *is* no spoon, just a glitch in the matrix.

Don't believe what random people *cough* write on forums ..

//2012
-----

Changes:
========
1.05
- tidy ini_creator output a little
- colons were not being removed from macid string in ini file, fixed
- added corona4g build target and dump parsing, nanddump.bin should be minimum 0x3000000 bytes from corona mmc machines (no spare data)
- Xstress.settings will now be kept along with other mobile data
- added flash header sanity checks
- adjust dump loader to allow for 64bit file sizes
- build process will no longer complete a retail image if smc is patched or a jtag image if smc is unpatched. Apparently a big fat error warning isn't enough.
- added some older retail.ini, added new switch to allow selecting specific bl configs (if making images with patches, the switch is appended to patch names as well)
- add 16197

1.04
- blacklist sysupdate.xex* as flashfs files, these are autogenerated files representing data that overflows the patch slot
- add console ID, motherboard serial number, serial number and mfg date to final output (when available)
- add in corona support files for 15574 and 14719, thanks again to Team Xecutor's RGH crew for
providing the exploitable BLs!

1.03
- updated patches to remove CON sig checks, still allowing the patched check to report if the CON was signed by this machine
- updated glitch patches to remove CF LDV check (keep in mind updating a fat to 14717+ requires rewiring CPLD for less stable glitching)
- modified [flashfs] category
- can now take longer paths as well as absolute drive paths, spaces not allowed (ie: ..\common\filename or H:\somepath\filename)
- items without a crc will not be sought outside the given path or filename (relative paths are based in the firmware folder, xexp filename mutations will NOT be applied)
- items with a crc will be sought in given path, system update, nandump.bin then common folder
- fix 16M corona smc extraction from nanddump.bin
- correct nandmu option so it properly defaults to false
- add 'jasperbb' console target (same as jasper256 and jasper512)
- correct bug in hv patches in 14717/14719
- added smcnoeject and smcnoblink options (only patches jtag/glitch smcs)
- changed glitch image CD patches to not require dynamic patches (should be more stable)
- add 'demon' option, currently only sets the same speed as cygnos uart speed
- add 15574

1.02
- improved feedback when mangled or incorrect option values are found in options.ini or command line
- fix bad LBA due to using a small block controller flash image on a big block machine
- added patch to all versions to skip yet another minimum version check (mostly affected default.xex on root of USB)
- add optional nohdmiwait patch to 14717/14719 (console won't pause bootup waiting for HDCP handshake when TV doesn't respond)
known side effect: occasionally when the TV does finally sync dash will restart (forced to metro even if using dash launch)
- now retains Statistics.settings from a nanddump.bin and can load the data from perbuild dir along with other mobile data
this data is found in the block preceding smc_config
- can now obtain CF/CG and flash files from su20076000_00000000 (system updater container) when placed in firmware folder
- bls besides CF/CG must still be provided externally
- .xex/.xtt files that only have update/.xexp in the container still need to be provided externally
- new option 'nosusecurity' added to command line and ini to skip using security files from system update container,
external files provided in perbuild directory take precedence over any other security files found (order: file, su, dump)
- now attempts to retreive files not found in firmware folder or update container from nanddump (if provided)
- common folder added to scan path for alternate bootloader location
- now respects setting bool options on command line to false instead of enable only, and overrides/ignores enable options set elsewhere
- fixed regression around remapping blocks when wear area has bad blocks
- jtag uses second CB to enumerate fuse values, displays virtual fuse set at end of bl encoding stage in verbose logs
- revoke nanddump.bin that has had zeropair data overwritten and big block images that had bootloader data overwritten with incorrect nandpro args
- fixes for big block retail images (patch slot offset and reserve blocks value)
- BIG thanks to Team Xecuter's RGH crew for snagging fat dual CBs
- add glitch2 build type, uses console type as base for patch file names (ie: patches_g2falcon.bin)
- add 'notrinmu' optional patch for 14717/14719 to disable trinity internal 4G memory unit access
- add 'nohdd' optional patch for 14717/14719 to disable internal hard drive access
- fixed a bug relating to relative paths

1.01 update pack 1
- fixes a bug with ini creator, wasn't outputting non CB/CD bl data
- add 14719
1.01
- minor bugs fixed (extended.bin, kiosk button not displaying)

- can now accept decrypted kv.bin without messing it up
- fixed a bug with long version strings in firmware .ini files
- fixed fatal exception when patch file is not found
- added -i flag to specify additional addon component for ini/patch file name
- corrected nandmu warning to only say xebuild will attempt to keep this data when the option is set
- added additional jasper build mode jasperbigffs, results in a non-standard and much larger system file area (approx 32MiB larger)

- devkit image building added
- if pairing value can't be found in dump CF/CG it will attempt to be extracted from CB
- smc size and address made dynamic (mainly for corona+)
- corrected typo/problem with FAT bitmap creation
- cache decrypted keyvault, refine messages regarding FCRT and output dvdkey at the end
- logs/outputs expected/possible fuse values for console sequence bytes in CB
- add dvdkey to ini and -o, to set dvd key in keyvault before writing it to the new image
- fixed a possibly critical bug when parsing nanddump.bin FS entry
- correct EU/AUS smc game region output
- nanddump flash controller detect recoded, now only requires block 0 be not remapped
- fixed unhandled exception when -o option that requires = did not have =
- updated bl patches for all jtag machines and trinity (rgh fat doesn't need) to remove smc size = 0x3000 limit
- fixed bug that was causing 2nd patch slot on retail builds to contain unneeded data
- added fuse mask output while processing CB
- added 14717
- added patch to trinity 9188 CB_B to bypass fuseline 2 revocation check

1.00hf
- hotfix - jtag images were being created with incorrect patch file number (xexp1 instead of xexp2)
1.00
- gets security files from nanddump.bin and verifies them (odd.bin is currently not processed)
- option added to disable extracting security files from nanddump.bin
- decrypts perbuild security files for verification (crl/dae only currently, updater files work too)
- zero nonce data in bls before checking crc (inlcuded file lists updated with new crc and explanation)
- fixed a bug with mobile extraction
- fixed a bug with fsroot processing
- (glitch) dynamic SMC patcher, no longer limited to hard coded hash/offsets
- added more SMC hashes to verify known clean SMCs
- will attempt to decrypt external encrypted smc.bin if needed
- whitelist more chars in the file list parser
- altered so that pairing value will be retreived from nanddump.bin even if ldv is set in ini
- dual CB is dictated by ini, "none" filename indicates single CB (jtag does not use dual CB)
- increased logged info when adding files to flashfs
- odd.bin in encrypted (only!) form is now handled (from file or nanddump.bin)
- ini options are now available as -o options on command line
- added -t command line flag for glitch/retail/jtag selection
- JTAG image creation merged
- separate retail/glitch/jtag into individual per-firmware ini lists
- added -noenter command line option to suppres application asking to press enter on completion
- added proper errorlevel exiting, 1=usage/commandline error, 2=file write err, 3=image build error
- add 'cygnos' and 'xellbutton' options for glitch images with appropriate bl patches (either may affect fat glitch boot rate!)
- non-critical spare data fix to the way smc config is added to image
- update freeboot core and glitch base patches to accept a secondary xell poweron reason
- rewrote extended.bin handler, given an invalid/undecryptable file it will create a empty extended.bin
- rewrote keyvault handler, can decrypt and verify kv.bin when it's provided encrypted
- added patch append -a command, and converted nomu and nofcrt to optional patches
- added simple explanation of patch file formats in about_patches.S
- changed nonandmu option to nandmu so it can default to false
- added corona and winchester console types, currently not supported but there if needed
- add 14699

0.33
- corrected bug with ini parsing and dvd region (and others) left blank
- add 13604

0.32
- slim/fat glitch image building (based on fbbuild 0.32)
- builds retail images with -retail command line option
- added autopatch smc option in per box ini file
- extracts pairing value and highest LDV from nanddump.bin
(ini cfldv setting overrides nanddump ldv)



Dash Launch 3.03
----------------

Known Issues:
----------------

- *** WARNING ***
One of the testers observed a console reaching out to live despite liveblock only
when fakelive or autofake was enabled. If you intend a keyvault to not get banned,
do not use it on a glitch/jtag machine!
- Autologin popup blob does not display properly... live with it.

Currently the project is missing the following supported translations:
Japanese, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Chinese traditional

Currently supplied translations:
English, French, Portugese, Russian, Spanish, German, Italian, Polish

The skin pack includes the sources used to skin dash launch as well as the
string files if anyone wishes to create a translation to one of the above
languages (inlcuding English, as I know my explanations are not always easy to
understand.) Also included is a c# based editor for the string files to assist
in translation.

External fonts, background image and skins may be used by this,
simply place skin.xzp and/or font.ttf and/or background.png (1020x720) beside
default.xex. If neither location has a font file supplied the system font
on flash will be used.

Welcome to The Next Level

****
at time of this writing, this is ONLY compatible with:
jtag : 9199, 12611, 12625, 13146, 13599, 13604, 14699, 14717, 14719, 15574, 16197
glitch : 13599, 13604, 14699, 14717, 14719, 15574, 16197
glitch2: 14717, 14719, 15574, 16197
****

================================================================================
Overview - what it does
================================================================================
- It will launch a XeX or CON file from the path you specified in launch.ini
as long as it's valid
- Depending on the button you hold when the xbox is trying to load the NXE, it
will divert to the xex/con tied to that button or return to default as
defined in launch.ini
- At boot time it is possible to subvert default item and/or NXE loading, but
you must wait until the controller syncs to do so
- Depending which button is held when closing miniblade in NXE (use Y button to
close, release then hold a QL button) it will quick launch a CON or XEX
from your ini file
- allows one to patch kernel/xam at bootup with a freeBOOT patch style bin file
from usb or hdd (in that order) must be in root of the device and be named
"kxam.patch" and be no larger than 0x4000 bytes. Again, kxam.patch binary
format is the same as a compiled freeboot patch bin, but uses real virtual
addresses rather than offsets - as of 2.22 the first 32bit value must instead
be the version of the kernel the patches apply to
- with the included patch set, launch.xex acts as a helper to detect when
xbox1 emulator loads, allowing memory unlock patch and xbox1 emulator
to function together

================================================================================
Installation
================================================================================
- have the required hacked kernel version installed on the console

- get the installer to a place where you can run it, and do so. Follow onscreen
instructions if any. The installer will prompt you if it needs to update the
kernel/hv patches and will give you an opportunity to configure stuff.

- edit the options, and dont forget to save them somewhere if you want them to
be applied next boot. Don't forget to set configapp to the installer, so
you can go to it any time via miniblades' system settings (hold RB to go to
real system settings)

- the back button is your friend if you are wondering what button to push

================================================================================
Updaters and Avatars
================================================================================
- this version of dash launch contains an update blocker that is enabled by
default. There are two ways around this if you wish to install the bits and
pieces used by the dash for kinect and avatars
1 - place the updater that matches this version on removable media, and
rename the folder from $SystemUpdate to $$ystemUpdate
----OR----
2 - place an ini where dash launch can find it and set the noupdater option
to false - noupdater = false
****
NOTE that some games WILL prompt you to update the console if avatars are
not installed, this doesn't mean they have an update to actually put in, it
just means it needs avatar/kinect bins/resources to run
****

================================================================================
LIVEblocker
================================================================================
- if you are like me, and keep your consoles off the net then this option is
for you. It's capable of blocking the resolution of the LIVE specific
servers and does so by default, with an additional option in the ini file
it will attempt to block access to all MS servers. The default option is
set up to block only LIVE servers, which still allows programs like FSD to
access covers and such. The blocks lists are:

weak:
^xemacs.xboxlive.com$
^xeas.xboxlive.com$
^xetgs.xboxlive.com$
^xexds.xboxlive.com$
^piflc.xboxlive.com$
^siflc.xboxlive.com$
^notice.xbox.com$
^macs.xbox.com$
^rad.msn.com$
passport.net$

strong:
xboxlive.com$
xbox.com$
nsatc.net$
microsoft.com$
passport.net$
bing.net$
msn.com$

where:
somedomain.com$ = ends with somedomain.com
^somesub.somedomain = starts with somesub.somedomain
^somesub.somedomain.com$ = is exactly somesub.somedomain.com

================================================================================
Important - going to NXE
================================================================================
- if you need to go back to NXE and have default item set in ini, HOLD RB while
exiting game via miniblade or exit using one of the miniblade options like
family settings

================================================================================
INI notes
================================================================================
-it's possible to have multiple ini files, priority is as they appear in the list
(** it is NOT recommended to launch USB con/xex from hdd ini **)
the first one found on the devices in that order will be the one used at boot.
-see [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] for more info on the ini parser

================================================================================
autoswap option functionality
================================================================================
GOD ie1:
disk1 = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\01234567\00004000\01234567890123456789;
will have 01234567890123456789.data folder beside it
disk2 = Hdd:\Content\0000000000000000\01234567\00004000\98765432109876543210;
will have 98765432109876543210.data folder beside it
EXTRACTED ie:
disk1 = Hdd:\games\somegame\disk1\default.xex;
disk2 = Hdd:\games\somegame\disk2\default.xex;
- GOD/NXE disk rips on the same media in the same folder will automatically
be found with no special naming convention
- EXTRACTED games with the naming above for each disk with the disk# folders all in
the same folder on the same media will be found without an ini file
- swapping between disks contained on different media is not supported

================================================================================
To Do
================================================================================
- everything else

================================================================================
Known Bugs
================================================================================
- some well used NAND images with earlier versions of DL already installed seem
incapable of being updated with larger sized files, it is recommended for
the time being to make a clean NAND image with the most recent/up to date
image builder if you run into this issue
- I'm sure you'll find some, this was a huge rewrite and not every situation
is readily apparent when testing for regression issues.

================================================================================
ChangeLog
================================================================================
V3.03
- some commented code made contpatch non-functional on untouched demo containers
- added polish translation
- add nohealth option, disables kinect health pseudo video at game launch
- add autofake option, when enabled fakelive functionality is enabled during dash and indie games only (thanks BioHazard!)
- added some failsafe code to lhelper and launch to ensure auto profile signins occur
- moved boot time quick launch button check to lhelper, it now occurs at the point where bootanim freezes (approx)
- removed bootdelay option, it should no longer be required
- add corona 4G memory unit path
- add fakeanim path
- fix bugs related to Guide/Power paths
- add PIRS type content to installer launch item parsing
- add nooobe option, disables setup screens when settings already exist
- dash launch now patches xam to prevent flash updates from appearing when updaters newer than current are on devices
- wired controller poweron causes should now be recognized from all ports for Guide path
- added new option 'farenheit'
- add 16197
- removed button debouncing, A and Y are more useful exiting from miniblades but will be touchy on older dashes
- add corona bl detection to xelllaunch
- added a few more domains to liveblock

V3.02
- add italian translation - thanks Gnappo!
- correct mobo/edram order in shuttemps and installer
- update Spanish translation
- correct version number
- add RThumb and LThumb for paths (analog controller button when you press them down)
- add autoswap option for multidisk games (see notes above)
- remove beta tag
- add 15574
- correct bug in hv patches in 14717/14719
- add poweron reason to tembcast data, document struct sent in the supplied .py script
- fixed problem with loading on older (<13xxx) firmwares, thanks KneelB4ZD for the donor image!

V3.01
- add Russian translation
- add Spanish translation - thanks Gromber!
- add German translation - thanks Tuxuser!
- altered DNS blocker to fail dns requests on block instead of succeed to loopback address (speed improvement)
- fakelive now forces DNS blocker to be on (thanks uzi for the heads up! IG 4tw!)
- installer: launch button now can launch indie games, they MUST be in their proper content path to detect/work
autosets fakelive (and dns blocker) on when launching indie games via installer
- going to system settings from installer now goes to official system settings (if nosysexit is not true)
- added new option "shuttemps" which displays temperature data on the shutdown scene (hold guide down)
thanks to Dwack for the idea, sorry it took so long
- added basic ftp (based on ftpdll)
- reduced default bootdelay to 0x1E
- new option 'devprof' allows devkit profiles to work on retail firmware
note any changes such as saving games or getting achievements will resign the profile with the current/retail keyvault
this seems not to affect glitch/jtag dev crossflash, but could affect true devkits
- new option 'devlink' to allow system link with devkits, ping limit is still separate (thanks Anthony for devlink!)
- updated patches to remove CON sig checks, remove restrictions on xekeys (thanks Redline!) and add hvpeek api to keyed syscall
- add glitch2 to xelllaunch, force file sizes to be 4 byte aligned (thanks Juvenal!)
- nxe disk installs can now be started like GOD containers
- blacklist devkit firmware during installation checks
- changed dlaunchGetOptInfo to give a more useful category instead of the internal bitmask
- changed filters to be inline and use the new categories
- add external options to the ini file (ftpserv, ftpport)
- can launch elf via embedded xell stage1 (thanks libxenon devs!)
- added info button in misc page
- show CPU key, DVD key, console ID, console serial number, MAC address and decrypted XVal (0 is no violations)

- added external option calaunch for config app, so it will start in the launch option instead of normal options

- change trap hook method so nate's awesome xbdm does not break across load/unload of dash launch

v3.00
- as with V1->V2 this is a nearly complete restructure and rewrite, expect bugs
- rewrote all hooks and tasks to be unhookable/stopable
- installer can now unload any existing v3 xex and/or start dash launch without rebooting console
- installing over v2 or installing patch updates still requires reboot
- setup exports for managing all options from external programs
- stop exception recovery from firing a new launch/bubble message more than once in a ~4s window

- hook XexpVerifyXexHeaders and XexpLoadImage to detect retail encrypted xex with bad signature

redirected to jtag friendly (but hard on hardware) methods
- added in glitch2 patches, restructured embedded patch sets to be a munged file instead of individual

try to reply to profile info requests with a hardcoded online xuid
