E79 Falcon

[jcue_60]

Hello,

I just jtag'd my falcon using nand-x w/ no problems.

I dumped the nand 3 times, installed xellous, got my cpu key (dvd key), and installed freeboot using Jtag Tool. - even installed xexmenu 1.1

My xbox worked great for about a day or two then I got the E79 error. I opened up my 360 and noted that the Db1f1 point/diode were disconnected. I re-soldered the point and it worked once again. I then hot glued the point to ensure the point would be secure.

It worked for another day then I got the E79 error.

I'm thinking of just using the alternate points using the tutorial provided here but I was wondering if anybody had any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help - this is my first jtag

Go with the alternate points (audio_clamp & open tray) as suggested.

Thank you...i'll try the alt points as suggested-after I remove the hot glue

Will I need to re-install freeboot or xellous after I use the alt points?

I'm thinking no.

Thanks again

You thought wrong . As you already got your CPU key you skip the xell/xellous part, you'll need to recompile freeboot with the correct SMC to use the alternate points. Latest version of Jtag Tool should do that for you easy.

Thanks...good thing I asked. Hopefully I'll get sometime this week to take care of this.

- And dont hot-glue this time!

No worries. I'll use some insulation tape

No worries. I'll use some insulation tape

I recently started using heat-shrink tubing. Really nice actually, but wont make it 'stick' to the point. Only insolate it. A good joint shouldn't need any sort of glue, really

I didn't think glue was a good idea but that's what I get for taking the easy route. I may just leave it as is after the alt point have been installed.

Now i have to reconnect the nand-x and reinstall freeboot. Hopefully my jtag starts working again.

I soldered the alt points and I keep getting the E79 error.

I used Jtag to reflash freeboot.

I'm thinking I did it correctly.

I went to options clicked yes for Alternate SMC Points then went to create .bin then I wrote that bin to the drive.

Is there something I'm missing?

I noted that the yellow wire was a bit "squished" I replaced and now it works. I think that's all I had to do to begin with.

I guess i learned much more this way

Thanks for all the help I really appreciate it.
