RGH Coolrunner PHAT QSB - Install TIP!

[veschar]

After several hours and days of checking my soldering and no luck getting xell to boot, I finally discovered what the problem is.

I soldered a wrong point on the J2B1 QSB, specifically the point on the far right (R1?)

As i followed the PHAT QSB guide, it was a bit unclear to me which point i was soldering to. The way my QSB aligned to the motherboard made it so the obvious point was actually the wrong point.

I finally solved this issue after looking at the PHAT WIRES install. See attached pic below.

mine was initially soldered to the point on the left....oops

I just booted into xell for the first time. Thanks to everyone on the forums, IRC, TX, and the guys who first discovered the RGH.

Would love to say thats an easy mistake to make but if you read the tuts properly its not lol. Glad you sorted it though and xell is up and running

In my personal opinion I would rather use the original NAND-X J2B1 QSB and just solder the B wire to the point, as it would have been easier than risking damaging the pad with soldering the QSB as I know it took me a couple tries to get it right

i used both actuallyh qsb and without on jaspers

i see that with the qsb its 95 percent first boot and 5 percent second or third

in both it shouldnt take more than 15 seconds

without the qsb its more like 70 percent within 5 sec margin and 30 that it will be the second

i actually prefer the qsb , its soldering is actually annoying than using the cables, but hey saves time when you want to reflash the nand, or dump it for any reason

on one xbox asctually i soldered the qhole qsb, and then left that point without solder and connected the alt point :biggrin::facepalm: hahahah

Just happened to me yesterday too, altho it wasn't because the instructionals were unclear, its just because I was blind lol

I still prefer soldering with wires, but all tuts state that its on the right
