Regular it read to 3FF but i tried opening in 360 Flash Tool and it said bad kv info and dvd key info bad key sh*t for all of that.

IDK... I flashed my nand back and it booted, tried flashing xell again and got e79, flashed back and still e79, going to resolder see if it helps.

Are you using QSB or direct wiring for the JTAG connection and is it the standard JTAG points or you used the alternative points (AUDIO_CLAMP & OPEN_TRAY)?

High resolution pictures of your soldering and setup would help.

That's how its supposed to be for now. The information in your nand is encrypted, and can be decrypted with you CPU-key.

followed the tutorial on here for alternate points. it all went great

everything good, went to reassemble case and i turn on and get e79...... after it all worked fine..... is it my solder or what... i hate that as soon as i close it, i get this error.

If you are getting E79 only with the case closed then check your soldering and all the connections. Something either is coming loose or maybe is touching where it shouldn't do (check at the bottom of the board) and make sure it's well insulated and not non of your wiring is touching the bottom of the case.

Disassembled and it works fine. Maybe it's my jtag connections under the board that reach to the case, gonna clip them now.

I personally use industrial or duck tape style to cover the wiring at the bottom of the board. That way I know it will never come in contact with the case or anything else as well I know it will be firmly secured. Don't leave the connections just exposed.

Ok I figured out what was connected. It was my 4 soldered JTAG pins near the GPU heatsink, they had extra long wire that touched the case. I put electrical tape on the board, bent the wire over it then covered with another layer of tape. Problem solved.

Now, what apps should I get thanks MWN btw.
