Ive got a xenon which is jtaggable. Ive tried using th qsb's, my soldering was bad with them though so I took them off and went for a direct wire install which I also messed up. So I decided to use the ends of some diodes and push them through the holes an tack the wires to them, the connections were nice and shiny this time and I didn't over do it with the solder, still same error. So I removed the ends of the diodes but then I saw that the copper pads had been burnt. So I used some of the pads from the top (the good ones) and some from the bottom of the board. I also used the alternate point on the orange wire as the pads were burnt on both sides for that one. All of the connections look good and shiny but still getting "could not detect a flash controller". I've tried 2 different PCs also. I did have the cables plugged in but the xbox powered off, and the rol was connected. Oh and I'm using coolshrimps JTAG Tool 2.20.

I'm really stumped with this one. Do I need the fan attatched? Or the DVD drive? This really is driving me insane, does anybody know of a reputable person in the UK that I can send my box to so they can have a look at it and maybe figure out what I'm doing wrong/ JTAG it for me?

Thanks for the quick replys guys.

Heres some pictures. Sorry about the quality, they were taken with my iPhone 3gs. I can get some better quality ones but will have to get my camera so wont be until later.

** EDIT **

Here are some better quality pictures. J1D2 is definately the worst part so I've got a feeling theres a bad connection on one/ a few of those points. What you think flashing? Can you sort it out?

Turns out I messed up the points. Have bought another JTAG. Maybe someone could fix this one? If anybody would like to buy it I'm open to offers.

Just update the dash and use it as standard console or sell it on.

Suppose I could do but I'm not really all that bothered about using it for online play. I might keep it not too sure yet but I was just saying if anybody would like to make me an offer on it they are more than welcome.
