Check error codes without original nand

[XtregaGames]

Is there any way to check error codes without the original nand?

I got a console in with rgh1 installed. I did not mod the console. But I know it was booting perfectly, almost always on 1st try. Anyways, the owner says it stopped booting all of a sudden. I have it here but I cannot find the issue. And since it has a hacked image, it will not give rrod error. When turned on you can hear the console resetting every second (instead of every 5 seconds, like it should). I was thinking maybe they tried to update it and the blew cb fuses and it can not be rgh1 now. I have never updated a rgh1 so I dont know if this is how it would react, but I tried placing a 5772 split cb xell in the console. It never boots, but it does not reset every second anymore.

Is there a way to get a rrod code if I do not have the original nand? It seems it is not split cb, it seems that something in the boot order is failing after a second. But I have no idea what it would be without error codes.

Update. I used a donor smc (i know it wont boot) to create a retail image and flashed it to the console (Cb 5771). The fans did not reset quickly. Gave me error 0022 after 30 seconds (that could be from wrong smc i believe). Anyway. I used this image to create a xell rgh1 image, flashed it and now its back to resetting quickily. All this is being done with no chip soldered. Why does it only reset quickly (every second) with rgh1 xell written?

Error code 0022 after 30 seconds usually means the CPU is dead.

Until you build a valid stock NAND image for that console (with the expected CB and LDV) and test it, you won't know for sure.

Thanks for the reply. I cant get the original nand or smc in this case, since I did not mod this console. I always save my clients original nands. Anyway the weird thing is the fact that the console does not reset itself quickly when it has a retail nand. And when I write a rgh1 xell to it, it starts resetting quickly.

I have had blown cpus before (with quick resetting) and I know the cpu is blown becasue it does the same thing with original nand and xell nand. This one only does it with rgh1 nands. But 5771 original donor nands does not reset the console quikly.

I will try a couple other tests to see if I can pin point the problem.
