Falcon E79 NO ORIGINAL NAND

[nine3o]

Hey guys,

I have a friend who picked up a Falcon JTAG box that has XBR 8955 on it.

He does not have the original nand (I know I said the same thing to him, but the guy he picked it up from had it done at a shop and he never had it, we don't know what shop did the work so I think we are stuck).

The SMC points are original and when I dump the XBR NAND multiple times I always read bad block at 22E location 210 (this is using FLASH360 tool)

If I used Coolshrimp Jtag Tool to view the KV info, it just fails to read antyhing.

If I open up the 360 flash tool (under remap bad blocks in Jtag Tool) to view the XBR Nand it does not post which locations the bad blocks are (which I kinda expect since this is not the original nand)

If I unmap block 22E location 210, create a FB 13599 dash then remap that block/locations it looks OK with the exception of DVD Type.

I flashed the FB image and the Xbox logo starts up then E79.

I can get into Xell and if I load the XBR image it all works.

Is this a case of DON'T HAVE THE OLD NAND SO YOU ARE SOL?

Any help is always appreciated.

I will try that and let you know the results.

Thanks!

OK, so I tried the above process and used a KV editor to get all the info I was able to strip from the XBR dump (MFR date, console id, serial number, region, dvd key) into the KV provided in the above link.

When I flash the box with the freeboot nand from above link it boots with a E68 error.

If I remove the hard drive it's back to E79...

Will keep cracking at it and see if I use the KV provided (mind you it will be wrong region PAL instead of NTSC) and see if that works.

Worst case any one think changing the SMC points from Original to Aud clamp or Aud Clamp + DVD will help???

Thoughts any one?

Changing the SMC point won't solve the problem. In principal you should have been able to extract the KV & config files from your XBR image and inject them into a donor NAND from a Falcon that had the same dash & CB as your console before it wss jtagged.

Having failed that I can only suggest just using the whole donor NAND with it's KV and adjust your hardware respectively (i.e. DVD drive/key).

E68 usually indicates wrong firmware on dvd drive.

Thanks for the response.

Unfortunately I don't know what the dash & CB versions were on this console before it was jtag'ed, it was purchased from some one who brought it to a shop to get it done, and the original nand is gone.

I must have forgot to mention that in my last post I did use the entire donor NAND with the KV from the link above and changing values to represent the hardware, that's where I first had the E68 error and disconnected the drive.

If I inject the KV from XBR I get that funny OSIG in Jtag Tool (see attached picture), looks fine in 360 Flash tool, but they all post E79.

I can not get a clean dump of the XBR file, but in Flash Dump tool it does not post any bad blocks (that's most likely cause its an XBR nand, I could be wrong so correct me if I am).

Just not sure why the donor NAND and KV don't work as it seems that should be straight forward...

Send me your 8955 nand dump and CPU Key, I will see what I can do to make you the right NAND to flash.

Are you using the NANDX or LPT?

Original wiring, correct?

Thanks for the help, PM sent.

I am using neither so far, I have been using FLASH360.xex tool. (need some more QSB's, they are on order from Modchip Canada along with a coolrunner pre-order )

It is wired up as Original.
