GENERAL e79 after removal of RGH with stock nand

[Martin C]

ok - standard raw mode read/write is -r / -w. So to write your NAND back, use -w

The ecc file you create needs to be written with +w as the ECC needs to be recalculated.

 

[brettsog]

yeah the ecc write worked fine. booted into xell reloaded 10 times within 4-5 seconds. its when i tried to write the original back is when the problems came. im gonna erase and then write the original again and see if i can get it to power on. if not is there a common short that happens when doing this or could it be random.

 

[Martin C]

If XeLL is booting with RGH then I would check your solder points in case you've bridged something else you shouldn't have.

Just to clarify, you should only need to do this:

nandpro USB: -w64 nand.bin 0 50

replace USB with LPT if you are using a parallel cable.

 

[brettsog]

ok, now to the good stuff. i have just checked the board over for an bridged points and there arent any. after my successful erase and then re write im back to e79. grrr. not sure where to go from here, im happy to have it booting up again but really wanna get this up and running. how do i get rid of e79. when i open the dumps in a hex editor a lot of the lines are zeros. do you think could have something to do with it?

 

[Martin C]

How did you verify the original dump? Degraded?

 

[xbox360 hacker]

did you use -w to write your nand after you erased it ?

 

[brettsog]

stupidly i didnt verify until after i got the errors. it wont open in degraded at all. i checked both dumps in total commander and they match perfectly. cant even open in 360 flash tool with correct cpu key. do you think they were corrupt from the start then?

when i open them dumps in a hex editor all the beginning lines are blank (0's). way past 03FF

So does it open ok with 360 Flash tool?

 

[brettsog]

yes it opens ok. i had typed the wrong cpu key in. ooops. so im at a loss as to what it could be then. i have read that i can copy kv data into another falcon nand and patch the pairing data and ldv values and it would work? is that right?

 

[xbox360 hacker]

shot in the dark as am just a novice to the whole nand business . Could it be that the E79 is displaying as the coolrunner is still installed ?

 

[brettsog]

wish it was that easy mate. thanks for the suggestion though

 

[xbox360 hacker]

If it is booting xell the error could be within the first 50 blocks is it possible that the first 50 blocks from any falcon nand could fix it or is there console specific info there ?

 

[brettsog]

im not too sure. you only write the first 50 blocks with the reset glitch hack. the image_00000000.ecc that makes the reset glitch hack work is only 50 blocks.

 

[xbox360 hacker]

i have a copy of the first 50 blocks of my falcon nand so that i can jump from glitched nand to original nand quickly. so if there is no board specific info on the first 50 blocks i could send you it for the purposes of trial and error

 

[brettsog]

well to be honest im willing to try anything. i dont know enough about the nand image to know if any console specific data is in that first 50 blocks but whats the worst that can happen. ive already got e79.

 

[xbox360 hacker]

i have pm'd you the link and password hope this helps

 

[Martin C]

It bothers me you can't open it in degraded.

If you can open it in 360 Flash dump tool with the CPU key, try to extract the contents.

 

[brettsog]

ok, im just being dumb then im sure. i have edited the 2007 to 2005 and it has opened in degraded. so it opens fine with cpu key in 360 flash tool and opens in degraded fine. just get e79 when i flash to the nand. i have tried a donor first 50 blocks and it wont boot at all. it turns on ok though. im really getting frustrated with this. i dont know what to try next.

 

[brettsog]

ok so im using jtag tool to repair my nand image at this moment. gotta wait another 20 mins to see if it works. fingers crossed

 

[xbox360 hacker]

hope everything works out for you mate
