hi i have a trinity mobo with a cr rev c and i installed a demon to it. the problem i am having is when i write the normal trinity xsvf file to the coolrunner the console always boots on the 2nd or 3rd glitch without fail. glitch nand is on the demon. really fast boot but when i write the trinity demon xsvf file to the coolrunner my boot times are terrible 2mins to boot am i missing something here ? why will the console boot all the time on 2 or 3 glitch with normal trinity file but when i use the demon file so i can use the stock nand as well it takes 2 mins plus to boot ? i have the coolrunner set to normal should it be set to programme ? does the length of the en wire from the coolrunner to the demon adapter matter ? i m lost here. i did the same install on a different console 4 weeks ago and that one boots on the 4th glitch every time with the trinity demon xsvf file. any insight would much be appreciated thanks in advance.

I ll get some up in the morning martin I have to take it apart to take some. Just got the baby asleep. My other half will kill me if I start taking xboxs apart now :(
Both nands work its just that if I use the normal trinity xsvf file the demon nand boots on 2 or 3 glitches every time but when I use the trinity demon xsvf it takes 2 mins to boot. Of course if I leave the trinity xsvf file on I cant boot the stock nand which is no good.

Should the cr en wire be as small as can be ? That wire only turns the cr on and off with the demon correct ?

I had this trouble when I first put my demon in, my trinity would only glitch in phat mode and with the blue wire at 47cm wrapped around the xclamp, as soon as I put the demon in it was pot luck if it booted at all. After much trial and error I ended up putting a fresh 50cm wire in and coiled it up like the original installs and put the cr to slim mode, I got more stable booting most of the time in 3 pulses but even that sometimes goes to 7 or 8+, although my post out qsb came yesterday so gonna have a play tonight and try and get it down abit.

ok i got it working. boots on every 3rd or 4th glitch now thats good enough for me. had to do all the wiring on the top of the board. used alt cpu rst and post out under the heatsink and wrapped the blue wire around the heatsink ontop. ended up using a 52cm blue wire. hope this helps people.
