Detailed Description of the Problem:Taken 2x Nand dumps ( both match perfectly with no bad blocks what so ever ),then "Created ECC" then "Wrote the ECC",once "ECC" was written to the nand through J-Runner,i then unplugged my Nand-X v3 and unplugged the power from the Falcon board.
Left it for about 1x minute and re-plugged the AV cable and power plug.Got a nice Red light on the CR4,then pressed the power button on the R/F board.
I get a blinking centre Green light on the R/F and a short blinking Green Debug light on the CR4,after about 10-15 seconds,i get an E79 error on my screen and no Xell appearing at all.
On the Jtag Alt V2 QSB,i have it switched "On" and have tried the jumper on both 330 & 470 ohms and always with the 3x way switch set to in the middle.


Was the console working before you started:Y
Do you get a green debug light appear on the CR4 XL chip every 4-5 seconds:Y
How long is the light on for each time:about a split second

i've now bridged 1&3 on th Jtag QSB BUT still getting an E79 error on my screen and still no Xell :(
Again i've tried 330 & 470 ohms on the Jtag QSB and still no Xell,just E79 every single time i power up the board ( either pressing the "Eject" or the "Power" buttons :( :(

Did you check aud_clamp? In jrunner?

At the moment i've wrote back the stock nand image,the console boots fine,so i 'm going to start from scratch with R-Jtag+ method.
First i took 2x dumps of the Nand,both match and no bad blocks.
Then i clicked " Create ECC ",once that was created,i then clicked " Write ECC ".
When J-Runner had finished this,i then unplugged the power cord and my Nand-X from the board,left it for about a minute,the plugged in the AV cable and power cord,pressed "Eject" to get Xell to boot but like i said,i was greeted with an E79 every single time on my screen.
On the XeBuild part of J-runner,i had " Jtag " selected and a tick in the "R-Jtag" box.This is why i hadn't bridged points 1 & 3 on the Jtag QSB as i'd selected "R-Jtag" rather than "AUD_CLAMP".
But points 1 & 3 are now bridged,so when i attempt this board again,i know i'll be selecting "AUD_CLAMP" and not "R-Jtag" then i'll create the ECC and write that to the nand,then see if it's a success ( fingers crossed )

Update ____________________,done as you instructed lonix but to be on the safe side,i took 2x fresh nand dumps ( matching with no bad blocks :) ),then i selected Aud_Clamp AND R-Jtag in XeBuild,then instead of "Create ECC" and "Write ECC".It actually showed "Create Xell Reloaded" and "Write Xell Reloaded" this time.
So went ahead with the steps and this time,NO E79 what so ever but a nice blue screen with white text and Xell Reloaded was their on my screen to greet me :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
Got the CPU & DVD keys through ip address,so now just got to finish this CR4 XL install.Happy days indeed
