First Demon install - Few quick Q's please and thanks!!! :)

[-={Nexus}=-]

Hey All,

So I have a 14719 Jasper fat model that was glitching great with a Coolrunner RevB using RGH1

What i've done:

1.) update demon to 1.04 by direct microUSb connection to PC using the demon toolbox.
2.) soldered in demon according to Uber's guide
3.) I did NOT solder on the Sync wire (therefore i can still switch nands but with the button on the demon daughterboard instead of the Sync button - right?)
4.) I did NOT solder on the Remote Power conneciton wire (I'm a little unclear of what this wire does - Does it let you power on the Xbox 360 differently)
5.) Connected ribbon cables.


Questions about Demon Use and testing:

1. can my demon be used in conjunction with a rev B wired for a RGH1, Becuase all the pics and vids i've seen are wired with a RGH 2.0
2. For updating the demon in the future, the demon switch I left on "XB" and I should be able to plug into the USB daughterboard to the PC and give me access to the hardware correct? Should the Xbox 360 be plugged into standby AC Power like when you're programming a nand for a RGH? (i don't want to damage the demon is why I'm asking).
3. When the Blue lights are ON on the dongle at the front - that means the Demon is enabled and you are running the Nand programmed to the demon right?
4. the original RGH wiring for the Coolrunner should all stay the same right? Nothing needs to change there?

Thanks for the help guys!

The very first question is, why do you have a dual NAND setup? What are you going to be using it for?

Also, you might be on 14719 RGH but that's not what your console is actually 'on' - not if it's RGH1.

Hey Martin,

Thanks for the quick response. The purpose is for dual nanding the console so the retail nand can be used for going on Live and the freeboot nand can be used for offline purposes and all the regular RGH stuff.

When I look at the original dump in Jrunner it says CBL patch 0 - 12611, CBL Patch 1 -14719

If this is an RGH1 console, that is not your original dump. I can lay my life on it.

That's a rebuilt RGH image for your console.

So as you need it for XBL, you need to re-wire it for RGH2 - beware: You will say goodbye to good boot times. There's a better exploit for phats soon and personally I'd wait for that.

I have the original nand dump from before I wrote on the .ecc file. So wouldn't that nand be the original dump i would use for retail? or is that not an original dump?

I think i'll take your advice about the waiting for the new exploit. Hopefully I won't need too much hardware. RGH2.0 has been a pain in the ass on other console for me too so it'll be nice to have a new alternative.

Depends - can you load it into J-Runner and get a screenshot?

Hey MartinC, Sorry for the slow response. So You're willing to bet your life on it hey???? well damnit you get to keep it (which sucks cause i'd love to have a few more lives for a rainy day). Anwyays, I loaded the original nand dump into Jrunner and it is showing an incorrect CPU key. Not sure why as they files haven't been modified/moved since they were created.

Anyways, the xbox is back to working order on RGH1. Thanks!!!

Incorrect CPU key means it's not your original dump. It's no surprise, but thanks for confirming.
