I am aware that some people are having difficulty with the Cygnos 360 V2. There is a patched smc and that needs be injected to the image of the custom NAND image. You can retrieve these items somewhere on the net.  I have done like 3 installs so far.  Freeboot needs to be built using a special smc.bin for cygnos.  If you have trouble booting your XBR_3 or whatever version you are using. You have created the image using NANDPRO. In Nand pro you have to make sure to use the write the correct ECC to the hex location where the !Switch command resides ( to make it null or zero). If not your modified XBR image on the Cygnos 360 will switch automatically to a second NAND. IF the NAND on the 360 is not compatible with cygnos (ie not created with the 1.09 beta2  toolbox), it will black boot.

Well we have Cygnos v2 rev. E for sale starting monday. It has firmware 1.03 capability...which means no more resistors on j1f1 to j2d2 for the xenon at least. It is all incorporated in the firmware for cygnos under toolbox. $59 dollars it flashes the nand in under 24 seconds now.  Much much more faster than lpt method.  There is a cygnos v2 document that describes how to flash now in 24 seconds. Use the toolbox to prepare the firmware and sync up your usb to your cygnos. Flashing will be very fast now.  Use of xbr reboot or freeboot is possible with cygnos v2.

There is a new XeXloader out.  But the name changed to Xexmenu, mainly reflecting that some of the original guys that were on the XexLoader team left and branched to FreeXex.  So, it was approprite. Plus it's more of a menu now besides a loader.  There is also integrated FTP so you can transfer files between your computer and 360. The source is gueux-forums.net. here is a article about it on xbox-scene.com.
