[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I will now talk you through the settings,

Type of Image, this will be Freeboot, so select Freeboot

Xell, this is up to you, select either Xellous or Xell-Reloaded. I suggest Xell-Reloaded but you can use Xellous if you would like to.

Motherboard, Select what motherboard you console has.

SMC Hack, this is the most important step, if you get this wrong your console will NOT boot and you will have to manually flash the nand. SMC is the type of wiring used in your console, if you don't know contact your JTAG seller and ask them what was used, there is a alternative but it is not always 100% accurate. You can find the alternative at the bottom of this tutorial.

Once you know your SMC select the correct one.

Special Patches, Disable NAND MU will disable the on-board memory unit, this is only available on Jaspers.

Dashlaunch Settings, For this tutorial we will deselect Include Dashlaunch and Custom Settings.

CPUKey, you must insert your CPUKey in this box, make sure it is 100% correct.

Source: Select open and navigate to your Flashdmp.bin

Output: Select save and navigate to your desktop and name the file updflash.bin

Once you have everything setup, the application should look something along the lines of this.

Veryify in the bottom right it says XBR/FreeBOOT <motherboard>
Check you KV info is correct and does not say Bad KV, and the 6BL and 7BL Patch 1 say 14699

NOTE: big block consoles will show this area as blank.

If everything checks out, copy your updflash.bin to your USB drive and move to the next step.

Power on your JTAG and then reconnect your usb drive and run XEXMenu
Navigate to your USB drive by pressing RB and then use the dpad to pick USB0 (may be different if you have more than one USB drive inserted)
Launch Flash360.xex

You have successfully just written your freeboot image to your console, just one more stage to go.

After 30 seconds, reconnect all your cables to your JTAG and power on
If you did everything correctly you will be booted into Dashboard version 13599
