RGH 1st attempt to a corona need some advice

[fokeiro]

Ok now i either get e79 or get stuck on xbox360 boot screen but load the bootscreen completly

Is the microSD switch set to X360? Have you tried without HDD again?

It sounds like either a corrupt retail NAND or errors while writing.

Check the NAND RW QSB solder/wiring. If you can, install it to the board or shorten the wires between the Xbox and NAND RW QSB.

 

[fokeiro]

If that was then im screw since it would be bad since the first reading and with no cpu key

 

[Beaver_Buffcoat]

Did you get multiple matching NAND dumps from J-runner (identical)? Did J-runner re-map any bad blocks?

 

[fokeiro]

f**king yes!!!!!! Removed the qsb and fixed the holes and without hdd i got e71 but woth hdd it booted !!!!

 

[Beaver_Buffcoat]

Glad you got it! I was feeling kinda bad.

 

[Beaver_Buffcoat]

Keep in mind that if you apply any official MS updates, you will need to dump the NAND again if you intend on going RGH.

Thanks just have a overheating problem now guess need to fix thermal coumpound

 

[Beaver_Buffcoat]

Yes, apply new right away. Don't let it run without thermal paste and the heatsink/fan.

 

[fokeiro]

Did apply new thermal but now after like 1 min say xbox qill shutdown to prevent damage due to temperature

Did you put back the xclamp to add a little pressure? (Welcome to VIP beaver )

Ive had this happen woth a 4gb console and it was false..sayed it was overheating and it wasnt..ended up being something corky with the nand. I used jrunner to erase the entire nand, then flashed a new image and it was gone..no idea why it worked but it did

Thank you, Sir! I appreciate it very much. Thanks for having me.

 

[fokeiro]

Yeah so far is working fine seems xclamp wasnt in on one side and was pushing heatsink up

Now im doing a fat which nand has 2 bad blocks...jrunner remapped them but out of 4 dumps 3 and 4 dumps are identical but 1 and 2 wont match any of the other can u guys check them for me if u upload them or as long as 3 and 4 are identical im good to go?

You're fine, only use the identical ones though.

Now when i flash ecc coolrunner doesnt have debug light and after a bit on i get rrod...flashing retail back to test

Update: flashed retail and worked fine with 3.3v off the coolrunner

Im at a lost here all wiring and soldering looks fine idk whats causing the rno kpre rrod now i was creating wrong ecc....now flashed right one debug lights up waiting to boot xell....hopefully

 

[fokeiro]

Green light infinite every 3 secs no xell so far


Update : managed to boot once on xell took pic then turn off try to turn back again no debug light again....is it the ecc a one time thing?

 

[Beaver_Buffcoat]

The basic rundown:

1. Dump retail NAND multiple times & compare. If they're identical move on to the next step. If they're different, check NAND wiring and dump until you have duplicates.

2. Create ECC from your retail NAND dump.

3. Write ECC to NAND. Unplug power from Xbox for 30-60 seconds. Reconnect power and boot Xell with DVD eject. (CPU Key retrieval)

4. Build new NAND in J-runner using your retail NAND dump & CPU Key.

5. Write the RGH NAND to the Xbox & disconnect power for 30-60 seconds.

6. Boot normally.

Again, this is just a basic outline.

You will also have to play with post out & cpu_rst wire lengths (tuning the Coolrunner). Go back to the beginning of this thread and read thoroughly.

Note: The Coolrunner itself must be programmed with the correct timing files.

Did you get save your CPU key? If you did, I would go ahead and create the Freeboot image using autogg newest version with glitch2m ticked, might solve your issue here. Also, is r1r1 removed?

I know this is usually the case for the v6 and is easily fixed with autogg
