Swizzy released a new version of his GUI for xeBuild, adding support for the new version and more ...
What's new/fixed:
- Fixed: Updated the hardcoded MD5 hashes for critical files that were included at release, forgot to update those prior to 2.0 FINAL release :$
- Updated: Dashfiles.xml now also includes 14717 dashfiles link and MD5 hash, they weren't uploaded prior to release, thus i couldn't link to them
- Fixed: The app would crash when trying to copy stuff from Manual tab in xeBuild (or paste, or anything else like that) not anymore
- Changed: CFLDV is now included every time you build a non-ECC nand image (Retail, Glitch, Freeboot, Devkit) if you've entered it manually...
- Fixed: The SMC Failsafe should no longer force you to answer stupid questions about what SMC to use (if you've already selected it)
- Fixed: You can now properly select if you want to use Simple or Advanced mode when autostarting or loading settings...
- Fixed: The app now loads options.ini properly, and if it exists next to the executable it'll also load it properly as if you had pressed the button to load it...
** NOTE: If this file exists it both implies that you are an advanced user and want to use these settings, thus it'll automatically use these settings for you... **
- Added: The app now loads launch.ini aswell instead of just using it...
- Changed: When saving settings the app will now default to "default.xml" and the App directory, allowing you to quickly select alot of presets that you want it to have when loading the app 
- Fixed: I've fixed the ini's for 14717 so they are proper now...
- Changed: The debug log that is created when there is an error with the build process (after running throught all the failsafes) will now also include xebuild's verbose log...
- Changed: 14719 is now also included!
- Changed: Dashlaunch 2.31 is now the used version...
- Fixed: Bug with xeBuild Custom settings, i was apparently tired when i made that functions :P fanspeed?! there is no such setting, it's gpufan/cpufan!
- Changed: I'm no longer downloading files from logic-sunrise, instead i've got a dedicated host for all files (giving me more control!)

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!

February 26th, 2012, 23:28 Posted By: wraggster
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.

We'll wait while you click these links -- Xbox720.com and PlayStation4.com -- to see that they do indeed redirect to random technology-news pages. We'll even wait a little longer as you open a new tab, type both of those addresses in and see that we weren't lying, and they really do redirect to unofficial sites. Now we'll take a few seconds to get over the fact that you didn't trust us. Without trust there is no love; remember that.
Yesterday Xbox720.com redirected to the US PlayStation website, but it appears the domain owner has used the attention gained from that to open his own blog, Fusible reports. Xbox720.com now redirects to a tech-news aggregation site and was previously monetized via Google's Adsense program; before that it hosted random sites dating back to 2006 at least. In November 2011, the site was registered to Jeremiah Germany, but that information is now protected through Whois Privacy.
PlayStation4.com redirects to a PlayStation news and cheat site.
It appears the redirections aren't as vindictive as the ModernWarfare3.comdebacle, in which a Battlefield fan used the domain to convert Call of Duty players to his shooter of choice. We don't even know what the next Xbox will be called -- considering the first Xbox wasn't called "180," it's not set in stone that the third iteration will follow in the 360's footsteps. However, Microsoft'sXbox360.com redirects to the main Xbox site, and Sony's PlayStation3.comheads to the US PlayStation page, so it follows that they would want similar sites to do the same.

As much as I'd like to feel sorry for the decimation of Cybertron, home of my childhood heroes, developer High Moon studios left me craving even more destruction with Transformers: Fall of Cybertron.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron takes place during the final hours of a civil war that eventually destroys the planet. The Decepticons have won, driving the Autobots to seek a new home somewhere amongst the stars. As Optimus Prime and his Autobot buddies race to find a way off the planet, Megatron and his dastardly Decepticons seek to rid the universe of all Autobot life. They're big old meanies like that.

A small percentage of Xbox 360 owners have reported running into freezing issues during co-op matches of Starbreeze's just released Syndicate reboot.
The EA Forums started receiving complaints soon after the title's launch, with nearly all players reporting problems while active in co-op play.
The troubles are apparently stemming from the use of XBL Party Chat and how that affects the game's default chat.
"If you're experiencing freezing during a multiplayer match this may be due to a conflict between XBL Party Chat and the default in-game chat," an EA rep stated to Shacknews. "We've sent this issue on to the team and they will look further into it, but in the meantime try jumping out of your Party Chat and using the in-game channel to see if this fixes the issue."

A new Medal Of Honor game, subtitled Warfighter, will be released this October.
The news comes from the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine in the US, as spotted by Game Informer. Like its 2010 predecessor, Warfighter is being made by EA subsidiary Danger Close Games.
While Battlefield 3 developer DICE worked on the original's multiplayer component, this time it is being developed entirely in house at Danger Close. The game runs on Frostbite 2.0, the DICE-developed engine that powered Battlefield 3.
More information will be revealed at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, which kicks off on March 5.

Fez, the long-awaited Xbox Live Arcade platformer by independent developer Phil Fish, is finally complete.
A tweet from Fish's Polytron studio last night confirms that the game, which was originally intended to be released in early 2010, has been submitted to Microsoft for certification. While the time a game takes to clear certification varies, Polytron appears to be targeting an April release.
"When we said Fez was coming out in Q2 2012," another tweetreads, "what we really meant was Q1 of Q2 2012."
In October, Fez was named Best In Show at the Indiecade festival in California. Fish, along with Braid developer Jonathan Blow andSuper Meat Boy creators Team Meat, stars in Indie Game: The Movie, the TV rights to which have been bought by US network HBO.

Microsoft appears to be killing off two of its key user-facing brands with the upcoming Consumer Preview release of Windows 8. Windows Live applications have been rolled into preinstalled apps that work as the core 'Windows Communications' applications for Windows 8, and this lack of Windows Live branding is only the tip of the iceberg. 'Microsoft Account' will replace Windows Live ID in Windows 8, and the software giant has also removed traces of Zune from its Windows Store, Music, and Video applications, although Zune Pass functionality remains."

Not exactly the glory days of Nseries, but a decent start.
New stats from market watcher Strategy Analytics say Microsoft smartphone shipments grew 36 per cent sequentially to reach 2.7 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Within this, Nokia captured top position as the world’s number one vendor on the OS. It grabbed 33 per cent of the market, with 0.9m sales.
Who would have thought it? It was only this time last year that the world was still struggling to absorb the revelation that Nokia would abandon Symbian and Meego to throw itself at WinPho.
Alex Spektor, associate director at Strategy Analytics, put it into context. He said: “Microsoft smartphone shipments remain tiny, but they are showing tentative signs of growth.
"Nokia overtook HTC and others to become the world’s largest Microsoft smartphone vendor with 33 per cent market share."
Strategy Analytics said an increased retail presence and visible marketing campaigns across several European and Asian countries drove Nokia’s growth.

Sega didn't have to use the words "Jet," "Set," "Radio," (or "Grind") in this teaser video for its next HD port of a Dreamcast classic. It also didn't have to use the little radio logo, but it did. From the very first drumbeat, hundreds of hours of Dreamcast time spent trying to infinitely grind off of staircases in Shibuya-cho rushed back.
Jet Grind Radio is coming to XBLA and PSN. Get your ridiculous sunglasses, giant headphones, and magnetic skates out.
All right, feeling pumped? Feeling excited about chasing Poison Jam through the sewers of Tokyo-to again? We hate to do this, but -- we're not sure all the music is going to be there. Crazy Taxi had its licensed music stripped out. Yes, it's a huge potential bummer. We're asking Sega right this second.

Medal of Honor: Warfighter due in October
Danger Close studios will release Medal of Honor: Warfighter this October, which will be powered by the Frostbite 2.0 engine.
The engine is owned by DICE, and was used to develop Battlefield 3, which launched last year.
The last Medal of Honor was partially developed by DICE, who used Frostbite 1.5 to create the multiplayer side of the game, but this game will be developed entirely in-house by Danger Close.
Reported by Game Informer, citing Official Xbox Magazine, the announcement details the game as a follow-up to the 2010 Medal of Honor: Tier 1, and again follows a group of elite special operations soldiers.
EA plans to reveal more of the game next month at GDC in San Francisco.

Console gamers have been missing out on some Call of Duty Elite functionality -- specifically, Clan Operations. Activision promised Clan Ops would be available soon and delivered today, flipping the switch that lets clans take part in competitions for extra experience and prizes. While all Elite members can take part in Clan Ops, only premium members will be scored and ranked on their performance.
If you're still having trouble understanding how it all works, check out the handy explanation after the break, care of Activision.

New strategy could help gain market share against competition.
Last year, Nokia revealed its Windows Phone-powered Lumia series of devices, choosing to ditch its Symbian OS in a joint attempt with Microsoft to become relevant in the thriving smartphone market.
Now, with the high end Lumia devices on the market, Nokia plans to reveal a new cheap Windows smartphone at MWC, according toReuters, which cited sources close to the company.
Releasing cheap Windows-based smartphones would allow the firm to appeal to emerging markets and low end users, while still gaining market share, should the devices sell well.
Of course, there's every opportunity the move could work. Low end phone makers Huawei and ZTE have secured a strong user base, which helped ZTE gain the second fastest growing market share in Q4 behind Apple.
Additionally, the report highlights Microsoft's share of the smartphone market fell to just two per cent in Q4.

In 2007, while Infinity Ward was building the first Modern Warfare, Underground Development began working on a top-secret, third-person shooter in the Call of Duty franchise, titled Devil's Brigade, Vox Games reports.Based on a real-life group of ruthless, almost superhuman American and Canadian soldiers in World War II, Devil's Brigade was Activision's fallback if fans didn't get the switch to a contemporary setting with Modern Warfare.
Devil's Brigade focused on tactical strategy, stealth missions and super-athletic Special Forces combat. The real Devil's Brigade scaled a mountain carrying more than 50 pounds of supplies and weapons to defeat the camp below in two hours, and they were known for infiltrating German trenches and slitting soldiers' throats, slapping stickers that read "The worst is yet to come," in German, on the dead men's helmets. Underground Development wanted to capture this essence for the game version of Devil's Brigade.
But, as history shows, players did understand Modern Warfare. When Devil's Brigade was ready for its final green light, it got lost in the shuffle of Infinity Ward's success and the Blizzard/Vivendi merger. Activision closed Underground Development in 2008 with nary a whisper about Devil's Brigade. For now, we have some screenshots of the game and the memories of throat-slitting action that could have been.
