J-Runner with Extras
J-Runner with Extras is the central software for Xbox 360 homebrew installs. It ties together every step that happens on your computer: talking to the NAND programmer, recovering the CPU key, and assembling the modified image your console will boot. If a method has a "build the image" stage, this is the tool that does it.
What it handles
- Reading the NAND through your chosen programmer and saving the dump.
- Recovering the CPU key from the dumped flash, the unique key your image must be tied to.
- Building the image for your specific method, whether JTAG, an RGH variant, or R-JTAG.
- Writing the image back to the console once it is assembled.
Where it fits
- DetectRecognize the connected NAND programmer and console.
- Read & keyDump the flash and extract the CPU key.
- BuildGenerate the modified image keyed to this console.
- WriteFlash the finished image back.
Keep it current
Use an up-to-date build of J-Runner with Extras. Newer console revisions and methods like RGH 3 are only supported in recent versions, so an outdated copy may not recognize your board.
