June 15, 2009Cygnos360 v2.0 Announced
Posted by The Ori
Some features of the new Cygnos360 V2.0
- downgrade Xbox360 (production before August 2007 and non-HDMI)
- switch between the kernel on your Xbox360 and the kernel on Cygnos360 V2 (for example; for region-code switching or switching to homebrew/exploitable kernel)
- no lifting of CE-pin, or cutting of traces necessary
- protect your data by storing offline information on the Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash and avoid banning (dirty-NAND concept)
- directly downgrade on the Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash
- easy quicksolder installation of Cygnos360 V2
- Cygnos360 V2 firmware can be up- and downgraded to any version in the field
- built from high quality components
- downgrading takes 1h15m on average on a middle-class PC – reading from and writing to flash takes less than a minute each
- easy to use
- a reliable solution for downgrading (Xenon mainboards)
- run Linux (Xenon mainboards)
- read and flash your Xbox360 and Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash in less than one minute
- Infectus is no longer needed for any of the functions
anyone know if i would be able to reprogram the drive key with this?? since it says it replaces the use of the infectus chip…
I was wondering that myself, getting the key from the KeyVault (from the CPU). You would probably have to go to their site, and contact them, and ask; see what they say.
Once again, if you have lost the drive key, you are fucked. Even though you have sucessfully downgraded your console (hopefully you have a pre-2007 console that was never send in for repair), you will still not be able to recover it, since you need KK to exploit the vulnerability, which requires drive key.
Hey. IS this the chip that was on youtube for a while on that video that claimed they could unban consoles? IS THIS THE CHIP That unbans consoles? My console is OK, im just curious lol
That one was the Infectus, I think. This version of Cygnos is new, replaces Infectus.
- Infectus is no longer needed for any of the functions
No. That thing never existed, it’s a fake piece of shit
“switch between the kernel on your Xbox360 and the kernel on Cygnos360 V2″ I have a xbox 360 arcade with hdmi, could i use this feature to run a homebrew kernel or am i still stuck with ofw?
- downgrade Xbox360 (production before August 2007 and non-HDMI)
That’s pretty clear to me… If you can’t downgrade, then you can’t run anything.
Even if you Do downgrade, you still can’t run anything other than xell. There are NO CUSTOM DASHBOARDS
Not talking about downgrading, the part i quoted is switching between 2 kernels not downgrading the live kernel. I want to put a hackable kernel on the Cygnos360 chip and boot from that.
I don’t see how, as the CPUs are configured to NOT run older kernels, with the whole eFuse blowing thing. Someone will have to try it.
Wrong. The CPU is capable of running ALL kernels, as long as the LDV value matches.
In another word, it doesn’t matter how many efuses you blow, as long as you have your CPU key and changes the value of your dump to match the numbers of the blown fuses, it will boot.
At least i have a little hope now, id kill for that processor with Linux.
Again, ANY Xbox 360 CPU will boot ALL kernals, as long as the numbers of blown fuses in the CPU matches the one in the CPU.
The reason non-xenon boards cannot do so, is because the CPUkey cannot be obtained to make older backed up dumps to work. If you have the CPUkey for your jasper board for instance, your old nand backup will boot (which isn’t possible at the moment, and the dump must be from the same console)
Hey Binary…I like you
