0022 RROD RGH 1.2 Attempt please help

[XeDevn]

Ok so this is my first attempt at doing this I installed the nand wires fine. Read it and everything good. I even installed the coolrunner almost perfect. So what I'm stuck on right now is the CLK alternate point. I watched Modded Warfares tutorial and he said to use the blue slim cable so I did. When it's soldered to the alternate point I get RROD and when it's not soldered to it it boots perfect. Someone please help.. Also I didn't create the ecc or write the ecc I was just waiting till I installed the coolrunner and my Xbox booted before I did any of that i basically just did what he did in the tutorial. Used plenty of flux cleaned it and everything. and yes i have red flux very annoying dont know why i got it lol.


- - - Updated - - -

Also I checked and nothing is bridged

I also used the 3v3 wire from the slim cables cause my phat one was pissing me off. Could that be the issue? I'm really clueless right now I've unsoldered and resoldered the clk point numerous times and still no luck I even trimmed it a bit but nothing. Right now it's sitting with everything attached except that point and booting fine.

Write the ECC! With the coolrunner installed and wired it WILL RROD unless you're switching the coolrunner to PRG. You have dumps of the nand so worst-case you can just write the original nand back

 

[XeDevn]

Ok I did that now no more rrod but it's not booting into xell just a pulsing light in the middle and the cool runner is staying red. Also the power brick is green.

 

[XeDevn]

I just reflashed back to normal unsoldered CLK Stndby and im booting up again..

 

[Joo C]

Which timing file have you used on the coolrunner? I would suggest 12_19 to begin with and have you selected glitch 2 on JRunner before writing the ECC?

BTW no need to keep writing back the stock nand, you have confirmed that it works fine. Get the console to boot Xell by tweaking the settings on the chip. Also, make sure that your exposed wires are'nt touching any components

 

[XeDevn]

I used 12_21 a lot of people recommended it. I waited for about 10-15 min with no luck. And yeah I made sure that rgh2 was selected before I wrote the ecc. And no exposed wires are touching any compotents. Does my soldering look ok?

 

[Joo C]

Is this a Falcon or a Jasper? Have you tried bridging the cap on the CR?

Your soldering looks suspect - on the RST point there appears to be a bridge. Make sure it's not bridged

 

[XeDevn]

I've been told it's not necessary to bridge the cr unless you're trying to get really fast boot times. I just don't want to risk it I think the exposed wire from pll bypass is touching a compotent so what I'm going to do it desoldered pll bypass and rst and shorten the wire a bit and reroute the wires cause there all going through the same hole. Then resolder them going more sideways, not so vertical and hope for the best. I'll let you know how it goes.

u didn't answer Joo C's question. Jasper or falcon?. Cos some jaspers will not boot until u bridge the cap on the coolrunner.

I always use timing file 19 with all my rgh1.2 installs.

 

[XeDevn]

I have a jasper 16mb what do I need to bridge? I just rerouted my wiring clipped the excess wire and made sure there is nothing bridging at all I'm still gettin rrod when I boot without the ecc written but now when I write my coolrunner is giving me a pulsing green light for a couple seconds stops and does it again it won't boot xell I tried multiple timing files and waited but no luck

 

[playingmax]

Try to keep the wires short. Also try to not have any wires touching each other, since that causes interference. and you should be using the ****** folder "try_these_first"

sounds like you damaged something. If I were u i would send it someone before you kill it. Beyond repair

Soo update.. I tried bridging jp and 3-2 and no difference (green light still flashing like crazy and no boot) Tried multiple timing files and nothing even waited a long time each time. sh*t I even tried the original clk point (and no I didn't knock off a resistor) and yup that gave me rrod like fried rrod no fan or anything just instant so I thought it was f**ked. I'm giving up on this console I flashed it back to stock, solderded everything off it, cleaned it, and put it back together and now SOMEHOW LMAO it's working just fine. I quit lol I have warranty on it so I'm just gonna get another jasper. And also my soldering was literally perfect all together when I was using the alternate clk point. I used very little wire so I made sure no excess wire was touching anything at all. I rerouted it EXACTLY how the weekend modder does it. Made sure nothing was bridged I mean I at least desoldered and resoldered 100 times so I'm positive it was good you just have to take my word for it is 100x better than my original pics on here. So yeah I'm done with this console I don't know if this is the reason but I had issues getting solder on the alternate clk point at first is it possible i damaged it and that's why it was giving me rrod and wouldn't glitch? But then idk cause it's working fine now so I have no clue what went wrong.

 

[XeDevn]

So I'm going to attempt this again in the morning on another Jasper. Simple question so after I install and read the nand and I completely install the cool runner an have it set to program should I be able to still boot fine without writing the ecc or will I get rrod?

 

[XeDevn]

So I'm going to try and bridge the CAP in the morning stupidly I didn't try that, I thought that just meant bridging 3 2 and jp whoops lol. So should bridging the cap possibly fix the rrod if the soldering is perfect? And would the bridge on 3 2 and jp mess up anything on rgh 1.2 or is that fine?

Set the coolrunner up for RGH1. So put it back to original specs, the resistors you might have removed are just jumpers, so bridge the connections, if the resistors are no longer there. The cap bridge may help, but it might not also. Try using a really short wire for CPU_RST, and solder it to the top side resistor point, not the point on the header. Some people have had better luck putting the CR on the side of the CPU heat sync, with a CPU_RST wire as short as possible to the resistor pad, than they have to the underside point. Also be careful with the CPU_PLL_BYPASS wire, as if it shorts against another one of the other points around it, it is a CPU killer. I like using the point under the heatsync on the top, as it is less likely to short out. I also had better luck with STBY_CLK on top of the board, on some consoles. Also, some jaspers work better if you add a 22pf cap between a pad on cr and gnd pad.

 

[Oggy]

Some Jaspers just dont work with RGH1.2, I've said this since 1974.

 

[Joo C]

Now that Oggy's mentioned it, why dont you RGH2 the console? It's not difficult to achieve stable boot times on RGH2 using the coolrunner and you don't run the risk of lifting the PLL point or RST point.

A little update for you guys so what I was told was it was my iron causing my issues so I was using a 2 prong iron and basically what would happen is the tip of the iron would send down amps through the board and everytime i would hook it up to power I would start hearing sizzling. Now somehow this board didn't get fried and like I said before after uninstalling everything and cleaning everything up it booted fine. So in my mind I just said f**k it and stupidly tried another board which was my main console.. used the same method and I was thoroughly impressed with my soldering but near the end it started making that sizzling noise again like I was cooking bacon on that bitch lol. And yup that one got fried so it wouldn't turn on or anything no matter what I did. So I ended up taking the first console back to gamestop getting another Jasper. So I ordered a cheap 3 prong RadioShack 15w grounded iron (my other one was 60w) and I didn't have any problems at all. Boot times are instant everytime. I even installed Blue leds (my first time ever) with no issues. Was forsure a Bitch considering how damn small they are but I got it done. At the end sadly I lost my main console but other than that I got a fully functional rgh now so it's whatever. Thank you everyone for the help though I highly appreciate it!
