falcon board driving me mad

heres some other pics of the jtag

well wen i had the original 3 dumps i repared them with nand healer and it made it the same as the matching 2 so i am not sure what that block was. . but i havnt got any bad blocks from any other dump usb,lpt or ftp

So, you mean that the Original NAND dumps you currently have are Not in their "Original" state and have been modified using the XNandHealer ?

And, you have been using one of these dumps to make a freeBOOT image?

Ha Ha Ha Ha HA, reading this and Azeem's last post just made me feel amused ..

If you flash any of your original dumps now, does the console boot as normal?

 

[RavinNinja]

thats partially right dump 1 and 2 matched dump 3 didnt
nandhealer changed dump 3 to be the same as 1 and 2 as far as i can tell
i have read a little about using a doner nand u think that might help?

The main purpose of dumping 3 dumps and comparing them is to make sure that you got clean dump with no errors or problems. This is vital in case anything goes wrong during flashing anything else to your console and things go wrong and you need to restore it back to normal.

You can sure try a donor NAND and this might fix things, as long you got your CPU key. But you didn't tell us if flashing any of your 3 dumps back will the console boots into the old dash it had or what?

well jus tried to flash the dumps back none of witch work!!!

the nand isnt showing any bad blocks wen dumping so does that mean there isnt any present on the nand ??

if so could i just get a doner nand of my board and inject kv and use to build image

also i have my cpu key and it decryps kv in 360 flash tool on all 3 dumps

Well you pretty much answered your problem there and Azeem's question. Your initial dumps were not healthy and were the cause for non of your XBR or Freeboot working.

It's really irrelvant now what you dump of your board, since it has been altered and there is no way to revert it back to it's original state. Eeven though generally bad blocks will stay and show every time you read/write the NAND but the probablity is that you had none to start of anyway. However this is not the issue anymore, the issue is that you have not got an exact 100% copy of your original NAND anymore.

Get a NAND donor, you can either flash the whole NAND first just to test if it works or you can import your original KV into it before flashing.

What happened here is that when XNAND Healer edited your NAND dumps, it must have done something with the blocks where the Config and KV are present. Therefore, even when you inject these to the XBR image, it doesn't work. I think that probably XNAND Healer messed up the Config block in the original NAND dump, therefore it doesn't work with XBR either.

Now, as long as the KV from your original dump is fine, all you have to do is to get another original NAND image with the same CB, CD, CE etc as your original NAND and inject your KV into it. Then, technically, you will have your original NAND back.

ok so i was looking for a doner with ther correct cb ect then came across some premade freeboot image so i downloaded it followed the tut flashed it and e79 so opent up both my original dump and the preemade freeboot image and notice some differences in ldv ect i was just wandering if these could need changing ill ulpoad some pics

left ioriginal right is freeboot image

A premade freeBOOT image will never work on a console except for which it was made.

Therefore, if you have been successful in making a new Original NAND from a donor NAND and can confirm that it works with your Xbox360, then you should make a new freeBOOT image using the original NAND and flash it to your console.

well after much hardwork i have finally sussed it
it was the rrod repair all along after a reflow booted up strait away
thanks to everyone for there input thanks will given

suppose that is a thing to remember xell will still boot if you get a e74 to do with gpu

thanks again peeps

 

[BGAMods]

i didnt know xell would boot with e74. thanks and glad its sorted for you.

 

[jorgesalas831]

no problem man just remember to press the thanks button

 

[RavinNinja]

ye well means you culd still get a cpu key off an e74 even if you couldnt repair the console

could then transplant cpu if you had the right tools

also nand-x wicked bit of kit
