ANSWERED Doing a read and getting some errors USING LPT way

[Jtagy]

I am using LPT way because for some reason my nand x was not working or connected right, which I am doing a read right now and getting some errors is that alright? I heard if its reading a lot of blocks at a time you will get some errors I plan on reading 3 more times and comparing using jtag tools to see if there the same.

Which error(s) in particular?

Error 250 is fine, just so long as you get at least two matching NAND dumps.

 

[Jtagy]

this is what is says in cmd .....Error: 30 reading block (#)

I think it is reading and fine but I plan on doing two more reads and seeing if there the same would I do three reads then fix the blocks then compare or compare the three when they get done? Could you give me the steps I know I read and read again until I get two of the same nand reads then what do I do after Thanks

 

[BL4K3Y]

I haven't seen error 30 before, could you post some images of your soldering please.

 

[Jtagy]

I don;t think I have a real error I just think it says errorBlank) reading block (#) if I had a error would it come up....Error:205 reading block (#)

---------- Post added at 19:50 ---------- Previous post was at 19:49 ----------

where would the error number be right in front of Error:___ 30 reading block (#) because I think if I had an error it would be in front like error:205 30 reading block (#) ? or do I have a error

 

[BL4K3Y]

Error 205 or error 250?

Read the NAND two or three times and then type the following to compare your dumps:

[b][i][COLOR="red"]fc /b orignand1.bin orignand2.bin[/COLOR][/b][/i]

You should then see:

[b][i][COLOR="Red"]Comparing files orignand1.bin and orignand2.bin
FC: no differences encountered[/COLOR][/b][/i]

if the dumps match.

What console do you have?

 

[Jtagy]

I am using the method lpt and my solder points are very good instead of using the 2 didoes I am using 3 resistors, and using the lpt way of jtag tools. I have Xenon motherboard and I think it is going good so after it is done reading does it save it in the file of the jtag tools and but anyways how many blocks on an avg does it need to read so I know how long it will take lol

 

[BL4K3Y]

It will take around 40 minutes to read a 16MB NAND with LPT.

By the way, which Flash Config does NandPro show?

 

[Jtagy]

type me if it was getting a error message when reading what it would look like.

 

[BL4K3Y]

See my previous post, if your Flash Config is good then you shouldn't have any troubles getting a good dump.

 

[Jtagy]

flash config 0x00000030

 

[Martin C]

flashconfig is totally wrong.

you should stop now.

pics of your soldering.

 

[BL4K3Y]

That is wrong, you should see Flash Config: 0x01198010 with a Xenon console.

Re-do your soldering and add the diode to pin 11 on the DB25 connector as per this image (thanks to FiB3R for the link and Relapse for the image).

 

[Martin C]

If you get the right flash config, this is what to do.

nandpro usb: -r16 dump1.bin 0 50
nandpro usb: -r16 dump2.bin 0 50
nandpro usb: -r16 dump3.bin 0 50

compare against each other to find a matching dump.

Once you have it, keep it safe.

Flash XeLLous to your console.

Boot to Xell with a LAN cable and go the website on the Xbox screen at the bottom

Download your flash file (eg nand.bin)

then run

nandpro nand.bin: -w16 dumpx.bin (where dumpx.bin is your matching dump from before).

You now have a good, complete dump of your console.

If this is all too much and you're going to spend the night asking question after question, get your NAND-x sorted or get someone to dump the NAND for you. Remember though, if you're having trouble reading, you'll have trouble writing.

flash config 0x00000030

 

[Martin C]

post pics of your soldering!!!

 

[BL4K3Y]

Read my previous post, refer also to what Martin said.... that is a quicker way of getting a good dump (once you fix the wiring issue).

If you look at the image I linked to, there is a footnote explaining why the diode should be used (if you are getting a wrong Flash Config).

 

[Jtagy]

well I think I am going to just read twice just to make sure, so you think its because I am not using a didoe on 11 but I am using 330 resistors i believe I hope that isnt to much lol I think if it reads it on the lpt I might try using my usb again can you use the usb doing the three resistors

 

[BL4K3Y]

Why bother?

You are just going to keep running into a brick wall if you don't re-do your wiring and/or add the diode.

Without a good flash config, you cannot get a valid dump.... it's as simple as that.
