Do These JTAG Points Look Okay?

I'm using the alternative points and have followed the SMC tutorial. I have dumped the NAND successfully 3 times now:

NandPro v2.0d by Tiros

looks ok to me

The points for the jumper look like they could be a little better. A little more solder around the copper trace wouldnt hurt. Other points look ok to me. Are you using flux?

 

[Astride]

Yeah I'm using flux on the diode's. I'll touch up the jumper wire and see if it stops the E79's.

 

[Astride]

I tried that and I'm still getting E79 and one red light. Any idea's?

 

[rocket8080]

Test your points with a multi meter if you can and are you sure that you have the diodes the right way? Also any bad blocks in the nand reads? Are you getting e79 booting xell or freeboot?

 

[manwithoutname]

Also what board it is and what's your CB?

I don't have a multi meter. The diodes are the correct way as the picture shows. I get e79 from Xell and there are no bad blocks.

Also what board it is and what's your CB?

It's a Falcon motherboard. Details including CB are below:

 

[manwithoutname]

Ok CB looks alright. If you are confident of the soldering and the diodes then try flashing xell file from my signature (it's already modified to use the alternate points) and then report back with the result.

I do these commands in NandPro:

nandpro falcon.bin: -w16 rawkv.bin 1 1
nandpro falcon.bin: -w16 rawconfig.bin 3de 2

But I still get e79 and one red light...

 

[manwithoutname]

xell does not require your KV or config files to work. What you did is wrong. You need to write falcon.bin directly to the console without any modifications. The file is 16mb because it has been altered but ignore that and just flash the whole file. Then power the console using the eject button.

Oh right. I just tried flashing the falcon.bin from the xell bins folder and the console's fans go really loud and I still get one red light.

It has got to be something with the wiring/diodes or hardware wise. The files are ok, they have been downloaded over 300 times and I had no complaints about them.

What type of diodes are you using? Perhaps a picture of the direction they are point to could help (without the insulating tape)?

Oh is there a certain way they go around?

I have these diodes (1N4148):

Is the red side meant to go on the motherboard and the white side on the wire?

 

[manwithoutname]

Lolz. Of course, they are switching diodes and allow the current to flow on one direction only. The black end should be facing towards the audio_clamp and the open_tray connections. DId you put them in that direction or was it otherwise?

Oh god I can't believe I forgot about that. Thanks I'll redo the wiring as I can't see which way they are due to the heat shrink tubes.

Soz mate that is what I meant with this. Hope its something as simple as that.

 

[Astride]

I'm still getting E79 even after I put diodes the correct way round. I'm just can't think as to what is causing the problem. I tried the falcon.bin from manwithoutname and that gives me E79 also.

 

[rocket8080]

The xell files from manwithoutname are fine as Ive used them a few times now with no problems. If you have no bad blocks and the diodes are facing the right way the I would say its probably the soldering. Can you post some more high pics of the soldering now as you have touched it up in a few places.

EDIT what are you using to flash xell? nandpro manually? jtag tools?
