Matrix Trident manual and other news

[QUOTE]
We have released the MATRIX TRIDENT (PSI) installation and instruction manual. Also available is the diagram to use the MATRIX TRIDENT with any other glitch device available on the market.
You can get both from our DOWNLOAD section. (EDIT: Fixed the installation manual download link, sorry about that guys !  )

We are completing also a software to enable the easy management of bad blocks when dumping the NAND and rewriting it to the MATRIX TRIDENT. This software will handle all the work in case your NAND has bad blocks tht need to be reallocated.

We also would like to inform everyone that the tests to restore glitch features to SLIM and FAT consoles that have been updated with the 14717/14719 update are proceeding at fast peace.
More tests are required to ensure that every bug has been ironed out, but we will have soon good news for owners of Glitch devices.[/QUOTE]

Team Xecuter Presents RGH 2.0

[QUOTE]
The newly formed RGH Development Team at Xecuter HQ are proud to announce that all Phat consoles have now been defeated and are totally glitch-able without having a previous NAND dump or CPU KEY (the same applies to Slim Trinity that have been updated to 14717/14719) !

Codenamed RGH 2.0, new features introduced:
* Hack now works on new CB’s (14717/14719 update)
* Hack now works with all Refurbished Split CB’s (4577, 5772, 6752)
– Zephyr CB 4577, 4575
– Falcon/Opus CB 5772, 5773
– Jasper CB 6752, 6753
– Trinity (Slim) CB 9230

To confirm, we can now glitch Phats with any kernel and any bootloader. As soon as you have your CPU KEY, and you are using an Xecuter DemoN you will ALWAYS be able to switch to a fully hacked NAND and it can never be stopped no matter what update you apply and no matter which efuses are blown !

We will be helping the J-Runner team to implement all of the new code which will allow you to build a patched ecc for any Phat NAND / Kernel / Bootloader.

The Xenon RGH hack will also be released however the quality of glitching seems to be as poor as the infamous Zephyr. No doubt once its out there users can tweak away at it and get some better results, the feeling here is that it’s time wasted at the moment when we should be working on Corona. Currently it’s a “repair” method at best to rescue DVD keys.

This is a new style of RGH hack (hence RGH 2.0) and there will be a new JED file, changes to the CoolRunner design, changes to the QSB’s and possibly new install methods (we’ll also show you how to change your older version TX CoolRunner to be compatible with the new hack, and initial tests have shown that other cheaper versions of RGH hardware will not work at all).

Work on fine tuning the hack is currently ongoing to make it as solid as possible, however we hope to have everything ready asap.

Members of our team are also working hard on the new Slim Corona model and can tell you that great progress has made made there too. We’ll just say that we feel bad for anyone who paid good money for any glitch mod that was advertised as being “Corona Ready”.

Stay tuned for more news 

Thanks to Tiros & GliGli for their initial work on the RGH hack. Without them none of this would have been possible.[/QUOTE]

Xecuter DemoN ? Official Product Description / Specs

[QUOTE]
The Xecuter DemoN is the most advanced Xbox 360 NAND device ever created.
Phat Version (left) – Slim Version (right)

 

Giving you the ability to have dual NAND’s is nothing new to the scene thanks to Team Cygnos and their dual NAND device for older generation Phat JTAG models. However since the advent of the Reset Glitch Hack (RGH) scene, there has been an insurgence of homebrew activity on all the newer models of Xbox 360, including all of the Phat consoles that could no longer be JTAG’d, giving a need for multiple NAND’s yet again so you can run your own custom kernels and linux apps on all the latest models including the new Xbox 360 S (or Slim as its known).

Picking up where Cygnos left off, Xecuter has taken the Dual NAND design and basically fixed every known bug and flaw that existed with the Cygnos, improved features, increased r/w speeds, redesigned the layout and install methods, added new functions and basically took the dual NAND concept to the next level.

The built-in NAND R/W hardware is a stand out feature. Completely bypassing the need for any external device such as the Xecuter NAND-X or any other SPI tool, the DemoN has a USB port which offers a completely pass-thru solution giving you direct access to the Demon & On-board NAND’s ? and with the turbo mode, you can now achieve NAND r/w speeds that have never been seen before on the Xbox.

Xecuter hasn’t forgotten JTAG fans either, there are thousands upon thousands of users out there who run a perfectly functioning JTAG machine ? many of them using the Xecuter JTAG QSB Install Kits that have become so popular over the last couple of years. Not only does the DemoN support all of the latest RGH devices such as the Xecuter CoolRunner ? but we have also designed the DemoN to make sure that it doesn’t affect any current JTAG installs ? which is ideal for those who have the QSB kits installed and working perfectly ? fitting the Demon does not require that they have to remove their functioning JTAG feature. The DemoN will also work with your currently installed RGH Device especially the TX CoolRunner and it’s QSB install kits. Xecuter thinks of the customer experience first and foremost !

As always with Team Xecuter you can trust that we make the absolute best quality devices paying attention to the tiniest details and making sure that the end user is completely confident in a premium product backed by our famous warranty.

Xecuter is the brand you can trust, don’t accept poor imitations.

Main Features:
* NextGen Dual NAND Device
* Easy Switch Between Stock Onboard NAND and Custom NAND
* Easy QSB Solution (Quick Solder Board)
* Easy Wire Install Option Also Available
* Both Phat & Slim Versions
* Support 16MB & 256MB / 512MB (Big Block) NAND Versions
* Original Brand NAND to Match Stock For Security & Compatibility
* Built-In USB NAND Read/Write Hardware (NAND-X / Other SPI Hardware Not Required)
* Turbo NAND R/W Mode (16MB Dump less than 20 seconds)
* TX CoolRunner Options
* Supports Phat JTAG Installs (Inc All TX QSB JTAG Kits)
* Supports Phat & Slim RGH Installs (Inc TX CoolRunner QSB Kits)
* No Lifting of CE Pin on Both Phat & Slim
* No Trace Cuts on Both Phat & Slim
* Custom Software & Drivers
* 100% J-Runner Support
* Proven Xecuter Build Quality & Warranty
* More Premium Features Will Be Announced Very Soon??

Dev versions of the DemoN will be shipped to all of Xecuter’s newly created RGH Development Team as well as members of Freeboot, FreestyleDash and other prominent developers in order to enhance the abilities of the DemoN and to make sure it is as fine tuned as possible by the very guys who bring you all of your homebrew goodness.

Stay tuned for more DemoN updates![/QUOTE]

***UPDATE*** 2.0.14717 Slim RGH – Fixed

As you know the CB on Phat and Slim were updated with the recent 14717 update, disabling the RGH Glitch mod.

While the Phat solution is a much more in-depth problem (work on CB_B has been ongoing for several weeks in anticipation of this so we are well placed to have news very soon), we have already been able to patch the Slim RGH to be fully functional again. Didn't take long thanks to Old Skool 

The fix has been confirmed by a number of team members and we are waiting for feedback from some European testers too and will get the files packed up for release asap.

I'd just like to say what a sweet tool J-Runner was for doing all this

The Skinny On The 14717 Update - Blocks RGH

So it was mentioned on Major Nelson's blog that the 14717 dashboard released a few days ago was to address a color space issue. As always, that isn't usually just the case. Underlying the eye candy are a series of security updates that not only attempt to reflash your DVD drive but your also blocks RGH completely on both Phat and Slim consoles.

In the 14717 dashboard, a new two stage CB was introduced which kills the ability for RGH. However, good ol'Microsoft has started to lose this battle already has a fix for Slim consoles is in testing and has been confirmed to revive RGH.

It is advised that if you have a RGH console, to make a backup of your CPU Key as it will be the only thing to get you out of a worse case scenario created by Microsoft.

Cmon Microsoft, you can't be failing like Sony and be having your ish cracked in less than 24 hours.

Squirt360 Now Does Dual NAND

The Squirt360 chip for Reset Glitch Hack purposes is now rocking dual NAND capabilities. The dual NAND feature introduced in a new firmware is compatible with all versions of the chip as well as both Phat and Slim consoles. (Those that can work with RGH by the way.) The only thing that you'll need to take advantage of this is an addon NAND PCB.

If you want to wait around, the team will be releasing their own addon PCB. If not, they recommend you pick up one of the PCBs produced by the Progskeet team or a TSOP NAND.

Dual NAND is becoming more popular with RGH operations as it allows you to swap between a modified and retail NAND. Regardless of which RGH chip you go with, shelling out the money for a Dual NAND setup is a valuable investment. You can check out a video of the Squirt360 in action below.

Trials Evolution suffers early leak

Upcoming XBLA title Trials Evolution finds itself at the mercy of an early leak, Eurogamer reports.The game appeared on file-sharing websites last night and quickly populated Youtube with videos proving that the game was out in the open. Publisher Ubisoft has acted fast to take down these videos.Here’s how developer RedLynx, via their forums has responded:“Unfortunately there has been some unofficial information coming out ahead of the development process. We assure you we are aware of these and will be tackling the issue with our partners.“Here is an important thing for you to know: the leaked version does not have any online functionality, which is crucial to the Trials experience. Lead boards, friend challenges, online multiplayer and global track sharing are all fundamental features of the game which cannot be fully experience ahead of launch. Even single player uses an asynchronous multiplayer feature in a new way. Without these core online features, the game cannot be experience properly before launch.“We’re continuing to polish and finish up the game, and we’ll have a new trailer coming soon which will give people a much better look into everything the game will hold and when they can expect to see it.”A real release date for the full game is yet to be announced.
