RGH Has anyone used RGH to get DVd key, flashed nand back to stock and it worked?

[DanTechMods]

I would like to know if anyone has been able to recover the DVD key of any xboxes and then flash the nand back to stock and had it work.

There seems to be alot of reports of 0022 RROD after they tried. Is this just bad luck or is there something that is common that may be causing it?

I did it successfully. worked like a charm and my slim is now back to stock with no problems on xbox live or reading games.

I have done the same on about 7 differnet phats and all worked fine.

i have done like 5 phats they all work like a charm

just had 1 bad jasper and its lying in the drawer waiting for a solution actually

It's a problem if you NAND wiring isn't good enough (i.e soldering).

Not had one issue yet.

I've done about 10 dvd key retrievals and flashed back to stock with no problems. You guys most likely are getting 0022 errors on phats because of a fuxored cpu_pll_bypass point.

Unlike FT6U7 (post_out) FT2R2 (hana alt) and the cpu_rst header point, which are all dead end test points for a pcb tester machine, the cpu_pll_bypass point is in series between a resistor and the cpu.

When that point is f'ed up, the cpu is not getting the correct voltage it expects on that line, and there is no power good signal sent between the southbridge and the cpu to start the boot sequence, hence 0022.

I am not an EE, I am an electrician by trade, but this is what I deduced from looking at the schematics and repair manuals posted online.

You guys should get a 20 or 30x jewelers loupe or usb microscope to check out that point. Sometimes a miniscule trail of solder splash is enough to bridge that point to ground or nearby resistor or cap that will alter the voltage the cpu is expecting.

Are you sugesting that even if i can write/read my nand (and comparing to the original one extracted), wiring may be a problem?

Also, could you please have a quick look at my thread?

@socalbill: Even if my readings show that there isn't grounded? I think I'm not getting the correct resistance at some points under the heatsink.

I have done several BB Jaspers and my first one I had that problem and it was do to me using the wrong command when I wrote the nand back.

Pin 1 of the resistor, the solder point, and the alt point on top of the board should have all the same readings because they are in series. I would use a loupe to check everything.

I checked a friend's board, and he burned one side of the cap that's right next to the point. It was impossible to see with the naked eye.

With the meter on 20k, if I probe the solder point (pll) with pin 1 (nearest to pll), I get no reading, and if probing the opposite point of the resitor I get the same thing. If I test the resistor on the "silver lines" I get aprox 10k. I think the resistor lifted from the cicuit near the pll point after desoldered the wire that came from alt point... Is it safe to bridge pll with res r71r17?

Ive successfully Done a Jasper phat this way. Dropped in a CR dumped nand, flashed ECC, booted xell for DVD key and then removed the CR and flashed back the original dump.
