Greetings,
I am VERY new to this and all that I've tried to figure out is from reading things online. So if something does not make sense I apologize for the mix ups in terms.
I purchased a JTAG'ed Falcon xbox and it was working prior to my attempt to update it with a 3599 update that I built with CoolShrimps JTAG tool with default SMC settings. The update was attempted via a USB on a memory stick.
I did not do the work for JTAG'ing so I was unaware of which "method" was used. In the process of my attempt, I have bricked it. On boot-ups it goes straight to E79 error and nothing else.
Since then I've taken it apart and see now that the seller used the AUD_Clamp method. He has a soldering line to Q2N1 (with a capacitor), a solder line to FT1U2 (with a capacitor) and the last one is a bridge on the DB1F1 (no capacitor). All work was done on the underside of board.
I do not see any soldering done for the "eject" button I've read about.
I've attempted to boot but all I see is an E79 error. Methods I've tried:
* hold eject button
* hold sync and main power button
* USB wired controller attached to back, hold X and power on from controller
All attempts would boot to E79 error with a single blinking red light on the lower right of ROLs.
I was looking to use the NAND-x to try and (hopefully) flash my system back to life.
Can you please advise me if NAND-x kit with the QSB is the best way to go (I have noob soldering skills).
What is the minimalist invasive method I can use, I would like to preserve the original person's work (if at all possible).
I have a flashdmp.bin from the system before I did the update. I have the DVD key, CPU key and the fuse numbers from the person who did the work.
Also, I've had a friend try to boot up to get to XeLL but when he did the eject button method, he got a black screen with words instead of a blue screen as all the tutorials say.
Thank you in advance for your help and for any advice you will provide me.
