Ya you don't need to resolder your wires if you will update your dash later unless you leave them there. With qsb, you just plug then update your nand. But then the op is referring to usb to nand-x cable.

Waiting for ck3pro to nand-x and nand-x to cr... Hope tx will put it to front page when this becomes available. Still out of stock at MT:frown:
Xconsoles.com has them now, I just bought some like an hour ago, when the coolrunner was out of stock, now it's back in stock, so I have to make another order or get it added on,

Cables should have been available on the same day as the CoolRunner. I had to place 3 separate orders to secure 12 CoolRunners and the cables. Now I have the CoolRunners but no way to use them until my third shipment comes in with the cables.
Have to agree with this, It's like shipping a car without the engine, I've had to make another order for the usb update cable which isn't in stock until 22nd Nov, Got a nice looking Nand-X plus 2x coolrunners I can't do anything with at the moment:facepalm: Not a biggie though as I don't plan on doing the mod until I'm off over the xmas period, Luckily I noticed I needed to update the Nand-X before I could use it on the Coolrunners through as I'm still making sure I have all the necessary info before I attempt the mod :)

Looking at noipi's post with pic, is the usb update cable just to supply extra power to the Nand-x then ? I thought it was to flash the Nand-X FW v3, or is it a combination of the two> usb update cable for extra power and the usb that comes with Nand-X for the programming the V3 FW ? :confused:

i lurk quietly but i think its time i say something too lol

i read uber said the cable was gonna be on sale on monday last week or a few days ago...
no store any where has got these yet but every one yelling to buy it.. show me what place has these even in stock

even xconsoles gave me a hard time when i asked if the nandx comes with v3 code on it ud figer instead of being money hungry they should atleast update their nandx only takes 3 minutes and in those 3 minutes they prolly had already made over 500$ :facepalm:

The components to make the cable are pretty easy to find. They are found in e-bay try searching "2.54mm Crimp Housing" but if possible the best solution is to buy the TX cable....

:facepalm: out of stock.....Everywhere
I have actually got the bits to make a cable but I can't be arsed making a cable hoping it works then buggering about with an lpt port which I only have on one of my old pc's. Like I said above by the time I get round to modding my 360 my update cable should have arrived(hopefully). But that's not really the point of the thread, Cable should be available same time as the coolrunners, it's like shipping you a pc without the software :rolleyes2:

I've definatly have the materials and most of the know how but it's worth the wait to get TX quality. I've got a nandX and 4 CoolRunners and all the QSB's waiting on that USB to NandX cable. Thanks for the great work team Xecuter! (But havin a car with no engine sucks) lol ;)

How does one do a DIY update cable... by any means.. usb or lpt. Im in a bind and I need to make one.

I do have a store near me that carries alot of electronics that normally wouldnt be in a brick n morter store.

If anyone knows please help.

Same here, bought nandx at mrmodchip and got him 2 weeks ago with old armv2. try to read my nand on 3 different computers - no luck. Have only red light on my nandx. Read forum already 2 weeks, tryed different usb cables,ports, resolder cables stright and with pins,jtagTool/NandPro...etc - no luck. like i've understand my nandx must be updated.
Tryed salfmade LPT to read nand - works from the 1 time,but damn slow(Jasper 256 took more than 24h reading+5 errors for only first nand reading), i'll kill someone if i must read it again few times.
So only one way is waiting again xx days or weeks for usb-nandx update cable, and still no warranty if my nandx will work (only red light,nothing in device manager and i tryed almost everything that i can find on this forum). Same issue like in http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54717

I had the same issue regarding nand-x not showing in device manager\Not being detected, I also bought mine from Mr Modchips, It seems he ships them blank I.E no firmware on them. Once you get a cable and flash the firmware on the Nand-X it will work fine.

@Konilita,
:facepalm:Did you even read my post, Odds are your Nand-x has no firmware on it, So you will only get a red light with no detection from usb, When you get your update cable and program it you will get it to detect in device manager. It's not broken it just needs a firmware on it,
There is a tut if you spend time to look:
