Blackaddr released Xbox 360 SMC I/O Config Utility v0.1 Alpha:
[QUOTE]
DESCRIPTION:
This is a simple utility to reconfigure output pins on the SMC that are used to execute the JTAG transaction to the GPU. The utility only supports decrypted SMC files which already contain the JTAG hack code. It is used to research and fix problems caused by sharing SMC output pins, or caused by the bit timing of the JTAG data.

FEATURES:
* Basic Mode:
-Change only the TMS signal to use AUD_CLAMP pin. Fixes many issues, a good starting point for testing.
* Advanced Mode (for researchers):
-Change the TMS and TDI signals to any general purpose I/O pin on the SMC.
-Change the TMS lead-in delay. This determines how long between a TMS logic change and the assertion of TCLK.
-Change the TCLK period. The bit rate is controlled by changing the delay between TCLK level transitions.

USEFUL INFO:
* The purpose of this utility is to help fix and research boot issues caused by SMC I/O sharing or JTAG bit timing. On non-Xenon consoles, there are no unused I/O available, so we have to borrow some from Microsoft.
* The original hack borrowed ARGON_DATA for TMS, which is the data line that controls the Ring of Light and RF board. This can cause weird issues with the controller and LED display (particularly Falcons) and E79 issues on Zephyr. The original hack also borrowed DB1F1 which is used for HDMI purposes(?) on the ANA/HANA chip. It could causes isses with setting up the output video, especially HDMI resulting in boot failures.
* At the time of this release, two new I/O have been found that are not critical to system boot. First is AUD_CLAMP. This signal is an control signal that mutes the output of the analog audio. It has no interaction with system boot and is an excellent replacement for TMS. The second I/O is TRAY_OPEN. It is a logic signal that tells the DVD drive to open or close. It does not interfere with boot, however on some DVD drives, the tray may eject on bootup, it depends on the mobo/drive combination. It can be useful for moving TDI if boot failures persist.
* Many issues seem to be resolved simply by moving the TMS signal from the RF header to the AUD_CLAMP.

Codew released NandChunker 360 v0.1 Beta, a thread based GUI for NandPro(info) — only for Xenons for now:
[QUOTE]
Features:
- thread based GUI for NandPro
- reads/writes Xenon NANDs in 16 chunks
- reads a chunk two times and compares them automatically
- re-reads the chunks if comparion fails
- automatic KV/Config extraction/injection
- automatic splitting/merging NAND files
- simple one-click based operation

Important Notes:
- Needs MS.NET Framework v4. If not present, it will download and install.
- This is a very early beta version. Nearly not tested at all. Don’t count on it.
- Works only for Xenon boards and XBR_Xenon_8955_3.bin for the moment.
- Pause/Resume is not recommended in a NAND write operation.
- Posted only at the fabulous xbox-scene forum.

BestPig released a new version of freeBOOT ToolBox – a tool that allows to create a freeBOOT image based on an original or XBR dump.

Features:
* Create freeBOOT for all motherboards with correct SMC
* The created images includes Xellous
* Auto-detection of the motherboard type (16Mb dumps)
* Choice of patches to apply
* Generate freeBOOT dump in 1-click
* Beautiful interface
* Check that CPU key is correctly filled-in (amount of chars, allowed chars [A-F0-9])
* Stop freeBOOT image creation of the CPU key doesn’t match your dump
* Check dump size, allowed sizes (16, 66, 256 and 512Mb)
* Create freeBOOT image also based on a XBReboot dump (at this moment only working for Xenon with CB 1888, 1903 et 1921, 8192 ; Falcon with CB 5761, 5766, 5770 and Jasper with CB 6712, 6723)
* Can create a special freeBOOT image for Cygnos chips
* Multi-language support (French, English)

New/Fixed in v2.3:
* Fixed problems while creating a freeBOOT image based on a XBR dump.
* Added creation of freeBOOT with DashLaunch HDD-USB
* Now possible to save the final freeBOOT.bin file anywhere you want.

xXhighpowerXx released the first version of Keyvault Editor:
[QUOTE]
This application allows you to encrypt and decrypt your KV image (will require your unique CPU-key – which as reminder you can’t get if you upgraded to kernel 849x or higher)).
You can spoof ur DVD drive on KV-side (rather than spoofing the actual drive), change your game-region and read-out/change the DVD-key and change your serial number, Console ID, Conver Type 1 to Type 2.
