JTAG E79 after flash

[wkdw1ll1ams]

hey, i just want to make sure that when i reflash freeboot, the E79 will go away correct? i had 12625 i got E79 just after i flashed freeboot 12611. (i wanted to downgrade) i also have a falcon.

If it was fine on 12611 you shouldn't be getting E79 on fb 12625 unless you did it wrong there is a tut in my Sig below how to do it..

i think you misread, i was currently on 12625 and downgraded to 12611. i didnt do anything wrong, i used easy freeboot and used my orig nand and pasted my working cpu key in. i dont see what i dont wrong.

The image you made probably had the wrong SMC file. That is why you got E79 after the flash.

how could that be if i used the same nand to create 12625 and that worked fine.

Because easyfreeboot (and other tools) don't use your supplied SMC - that would pretty stupid since it needs to be a hacked SMC. If you supplied an original NAND dump it would be of no use whatsoever.

What JTAG wiring did you go for and what options did you select in Easy Freeboot?

well i opened it, and clicked create image and selected my orig nand then put in my cpu key and it created my freeboot. and in flash360 i pressed A then B and it flashed.

Don't know why you didn't use Jtag tool works fine also why did you downgrade to fb 12611 that makes no since seen as fb 12625 is working 100%

Johnny is right It makes no sense Like the old saying goes don’t fix that isn’t broken

Are you able to answer my other question: What JTAG wiring did you go for?

How about you post pics of your wireing. That will tell use what smc points you have. What these guys are getting at is if your Jtag is wired Aud clamp or Aud clamp with tray and you wrote a freeboot that is set to default then that would be your problem.
