DemoN manufacturer for code AF no found.

[nannou]

Hey guys. a friend of mine demoned my xbox last year, everything worked flawlessly until I tried to update to the latest dashboard. My console boots with both nands but I can't seem to read or write to the nand using demon.
Here are some pics of the solders


I checked the continuity with a multimeter and everything seems ok, just didn't know how to check the demon-nand conection itself.

thanks in advance

Check that there are no shorts between the adjacent pads on the DemoN and also check for continuity from those pads to the NAND pins on top of the board.

You should also double check that the ribbon cable is inserted correctly.

Grounding the external USB module also helps in some cases.

I sould check the pads inthe 3rd picture it the connections of the original nand?

Yes - each pad should be connected to one NAND pin on the top of the board.

D4 isn't beeping. guess this is it?

EDIT: D4 has continuity and so have the rest of the pads.

There are two checks to make as the NAND on the DemoN should be directly linked to the NAND on the console:

1. Check each test pad on the DemoN with the corresponding pin on its NAND.

2. Check each test pad on the DemoN with the corresponding pin on the 360 NAND.

If any of these fail, you've found your problem.

made both tests several times. all is good

Is the ribbon cable seated firmly and correctly (it can sometimes slip underneath the socket)?

Is the external USB module grounded?

I also notice that the switch on the DemoN is set to "PC" - it must be set to "XB".

 

[nannou]

i'm using the micro usb directly on the demon board. should I post pics of the solder work on the CR3?

EDIT: sorry guys I have an off topic question.

Where do these things go?

 

[BL4K3Y]

i'm using the micro usb directly on the demon board.

There is no need to do that.

Set the switch to "XB" and use the external USB module.

 

[nannou]

when I set the switch to XB no light come on on the external usb, it only lights up in PC

edit: I plugged the power brick and tried with the switch on XB and I had the same error on jrunner.

This guy seems to have the exact same problem. sometimes my console would only beep and not turn on, it would only turn on after pressing the nand switch button a couple of times.
Perhaps you guys have encountered something similar.

 

[Martin C]

That code means something is still definitely wrong.

 

[nannou]

sent a pm to that guy to try to know if he got is problem fixed.
guess I'm going to re-solder all the D pads on the demon to try and fix this.

 

[Martin C]

Why would you be resoldering anything if you've done continuity checks?

Either you have or you haven't.

 

[nannou]

ok I've fixed it. reprogramed my CR3, put the cr3 switch to phat and all is working. thanks for the help guys

That fixed not being able to read/write to it?

 

[nannou]

yep reprogramed with RGH2 trinity and flipped the cr3 switch to phat, that did the trick.

Your Coolrunner has nothing to do with the console's ability to read the NAND.

was it coincidence?

Post a pic of your coolrunner please.
