Vom Cygnos Team kommt eine neue Beta Version der Toolbox. Hier die entsprechenden Infos:
Hello,
a new Cygnos360 V2 Toolbox 1.09 beta 1 is available for download from here:
Cygnos360 V2 Toolbox 1.09 beta 1.zip
“Certain” images floating around the internet make it necessary to patch the KV and SMC in order to run on Cygnos360 V2. This toolbox adds all the required functions to easily accomplish this task. The “Program Flash” dialog now allows you to specify a patched SMC and KV to inject into the image on the fly. A patched SMC can be created with the “Patch SMC” dialog, if the SMC from your original image is known to the toolbox. If this is not the case, there are pre-patched SMCs available “at the usual places”.
Another dialog “Extract KV” has been added, which will simply dump the KV from your original image (Remember to use the “Patch SMC” and “Extract KV” dialogs only with original images, they won’t work otherwise).
Please note, that this is beta software! It should only be tested by experienced users. SMC config data is currently not yet retained. It will be fixed in the beta 2 version.
Have fun with this new toolbox and please report any bugs!
Cheers,
TRaceBack

Mit dem Cygnos v2 Chip für Xbox360 besteht nun erstmals die Möglichkeit zwei verschiedene Kernel (Bios) Versionen auf der Konsole laufen zu lassen. Man kann z. B. eine NTSC Version und eine PAL Version nutzen und hat somit eine Konsole die auch NTSC Spiele abspielen kann. Eine weitere Möglichkeit ist es mittels JTAG Hack echte Homebrew Software auf der Konsole laufen zu lassen. Allerdings darf die Xbox360 nicht über aktuelle Updates verfügen da mit diesen die Lücke geschloßen wurde. Konkret sind das alle Updates nach der Kernel Version 85xx.
Bestellen könnt Ihr den Chip z. B. bei Konsolenprofis
Features:
run homebrew kernels! NOW THE EXPLOIT ALSO WORKS ON HDMI CONSOLES!
“JTAG hack” is integrated into the Cygnos360 V2 firmware
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 neccessary
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 (THIS IS NOT NECESSARY ANYMORE)
easy quicksolder installation of Cygnos360 V2
Cygnos360 V2 firmware can be up- und downgraded to any version in the field
built from high quality components
easy to use
a reliable solution
run Linux and homebrew
read and flash your Xbox360 and Cygnos360 V2 NAND-flash in less than one minute
Infectus is no longer needed for any of the functionsIn the Xbox 360, on-board NAND-flash memory stores important data like the hypervisor, kernel, and key vault.
Through installation of Cygnos 360, the onboard NAND-flash memory is complemented with another NAND-flash memory contained on the Cygnos 360 printed-circuit board. Being able to choose between both NAND-flash memories opens up a variety of new fascinating possibilities. The following list tries to give you an impression about what can be done with Cygnos 360:
choose between a kernel for playing games or a vulnerable kernel for running Linux / homebrew
play imported games or movies by switching your region code
run homebrew via the JTAG hack
