Hi all

I have a JTAG falcon that worked beautifully. I accidentally clicked the "fix xex" button in FSD on my entire HDD and the falcon stopped booting to FSD.

Since then I've done every tutorial I can get my hands on and deleted/reinstalled FSD and bootloader

http://team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53276
was the main tutorial I used. When I used flash360, it says Im not paired. I continued, it finished and it still will not boot to FSD. It just takes a long time to boot and doesnt show the windows swirl thing before going to NXE.

I can still go to xexmenu in the NXE and click on FSD and it boots up fine but it just won't boot to FSD. It seems fine. I've checked the launch.ini multiple times and its fine.

1) I put dashlaunch's launch.xex on the root of my HDD.
2) I put a launch.ini on the HDD root that points to the dashlaunch file.
3) I put flash360 on the root with appropriate Updpatch.bin
4) I use flash360 and it warns that the NAND is not paired. I hit START and then A to flash it.
5) I reboot and it goes to dash.

Download Dash launch 2.32

Edit you launch.ini
Like this
Default = HDD1:\FSD\default.xex

Or put the location where FSD\default.xex !

Hope this helps !

nope.

I actually did that as part of the tutorial but I tried it again. Controller blinks, it takes a while and boot to NXE.

I just unplugged and did a power cycle. Nothing.

It just takes about 15 seconds more than normal to boot, goes to NXE without the swirly intro. I can access FSD through XEX but it also immediately crashes now

Ugh so frustrating. I dont even know what to do.

if you have your original nand dump and your cpukey, then download jrunner, make a new freeboot-image for your jtagged box using jrunner and configure it so that it includes dashlaunch.
don't forget to set up dashlaunch correctly in jrunner.
then flash the new image using rawflash and you should be good to go.

i think that guide is for xbr and therefore a bit old. (i'm not saying anything bad about that tutorial, maybe i just did misunderstand as it's late.)

as i said, start over, make a new freeboot image using jrunner and you're good to go.

cheers,

EDIT:
oh, and get the latest freestyle dash and do a fresh/clean install of it too.
