RGH Error creating ecc for Zephyr
- Thread starter GOG3
- Start date
Martin C looked at the nand you gave him. He concluded that it already had the glitch ecc written to it. And you said the the seller had removed the CR which would render the box as "non-working".
enough said and if you really want help then you need to find a way to take some pics. No one can help you with the lack of info in this thread. You did not witness the box even booting before you bought it. You don't have the original nand to flash back to it. I'm also guessing that you don't have the keys to attempt to build a retail nand to flash back to it.
Martin C might have some ideas for you but I don't.

I installed a C/R into a zephyr, works no probs, it sometimes takes 3 or 4 attemps to glitch but always gets there in the end. I know it doesnt help you but to eliminate any dry joints, bidged resistors etc its worth putting up a few pics of your install.

I've already posted the only nand copy I have access to and I have no way of taking pics at the moment(as was already said in a previous post). This isn't the first console i've modded, just my first RGH. Ive checked and recheck in install job, it's solid.
I'd really like to get back to explaining the error I posted in my first post.
! Warning: can't patch that SMC, here are the current supported versions: - Trinity, version 3.1 - Jasper, version 2.3 - Zephyr, version 1.10 - Zephyr, version 1.13 - Falcon, version 1.6

@Krafter
The console was jtag'd, not RGH'd.
Sorry for the double post. I know there's an edit button, but I can't find it lol.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as rude, I'm just getting a little frustrated. As I've said earlier, the console was jtag'd and I saw it boot while jtag'd.

The console was JTAG'd. I know for a fact because I watched the nand-x jtag qsb being removed. Please correct me if I'm wrong but the patches and compatibility are different between jtag and rgh.
Yes the patches are completely different. I'm getting confused because of what you are trying to do and what you are saying about the boxes original condition but I do know that I trust Martin C word. I also recieved the exact same error as you when I tried to use a non-stock nand to create a ecc image. If it was a CB issue then you would see something similar to this....

I'll just tell the whole story to make it easier.
My friend jtag'd the zephyr. He, like me on my old jtag(which red ringed on me last week), got tired of the random e79's jtag'd zephyrs give. He got a new box and installed the nand-x and jtag qsb's in the new box and sold me the console on the cheap. He proved it worked and didn't botch anything when he removed the qsb's. Unfortunately he no longer had the original nand or the cpu key.
I got the console and the CR phat kit from one of Xecuters suggested retailers, and installed it. Tested all the connections. Connections are solid, no bridges. Using JTAG Tool to RGH. Programmed the CR, got two perfect nand dumps. Next step is to create the .ecc. I used one of the dumps and it produced the error in my first post.

If hes lost the orignal nand and cpu,he couldnt have returned it to the original so the dump you made would have been of a glitched image.
We could have recovered the cpu key, thats my fault.

Code:
found flash image, unpacking... ECC'ed - will unecc.Then how about you try this instead of RGH to prove it will still boot under a JTAG. I had a customer with a Xenon with the same random errors. I redone the JTAG using the Aud Clamp method and the problem completely disappeared. Short of that, I'm not sure what anyone else can tell you without having pics or the ability to flash back the original nand.

Just ran it through multi builder. I do indeed get the CB error. Like I said, something you can't possibly know until you actually buy the product.

Thats how both boxes were wired. Tons of people have the same issue regardless of FW version or wiring.

Whatever JTAG tool uses to create the ecc file.

Just for clarification, I'm not saying that if I had done lots of reading before hand I couldn't have found that Zephyrs are a crap shoot, it's just something that ought to be included in the product description.

A reason for not disclosing this issue up front. Perhaps updating the description to show it doesn't currently work with all zephyrs or slims.
@the504
Whats that?

OK, no matter the cause of the problem be it a CB issue or not being able to build a proper ecc to use with the RGH. You need to get the ting to boot so you can get the keys. If it was JTAGed before then it can be again. All you need to do is get it to boot at least once into Xell to get the Keys.
I just did some testing and found that cb 4558 can't be used to create a ecc image BUT the nand can be used to create a glitch image once you have the keys. I strongly recommend that you JTAG it just one more time in order to get the keys from it.
