Help With Freeboot

[OmegaNemesis28]

Can someone help me out with Freeboot?

Ok here is the deal:
I have a Zephyr motherboard with revision 4580.(Aka the one that DEFIES all the rules and needs Falcon files, not Zephyr)
I ALSO have done the alternate JTAG points (specifically both AUD_Clamp and the DVD Tray)

I can follow the Alternate JTAG SMC points tutorial in this section that is sticky'd up until Freeboot.
I mean, I can write the XBR3 onto my NAND and get both Xell and the dashboard but I can't seem to get it to Freeboot.

When I use 360 Flash Tool, obviously my original NAND is CB 4580.
But after doing all the patching and following the tutorial, the final NAND I get is 4770. Do you think this is the cause of the problem?
I've tried all different kinds of patching but no one has clear and definite instructions on 4580.

Can someone help me out with Freeboot?


EDIT:
Oh and XBR to Freeboot gives me {smartassembly} error too when I try to do anything all of a sudden. Was working before, but it just suddenly started giving me that crap.

delete the files XBRtofreeboot created in the data and bin folders it should start working again

you could also try freeBOOT ToolBox v2.4 rev2
this works best for me with the 2-3 Zephyrs i have done although i did struggle a bit with my first Zephyr

I don't understand how freeboot tool box works. It tells me all my dumps are bad or incorrectly done.

Also, in XBR to Freeboot - what motherboard revision do I use? Falcon 5770 because that's what I have to use for XBR?

try coolshrimps gui or I think there is also another good gui called easynandpro
It is most likely your getting those errors because it was not installed correct or bad drivers.

jtag tool is buggy and its advisable not to use it until its been updated.

 

[marshamods]

on jaspers and falcons I only had issues with it. Though that is just me.

sorry mate, i didnt think you had. i was just replying to what marsha said and advising against using it.

 

[OmegaNemesis28]

Ok it's done!
Now what should I do first with my new jtag 360?

ah np.

lol install xexmenu and fsd2. thatd be a nice start.

 

[OmegaNemesis28]

before I do something stupid, is there anything I should NOT do?

You can't go online with a JTAG right?

 

[BGAMods]

thats right, do not go anywhere near live. in fact what i do is disable my log in using the parental controls.

Im curious - how do you use a USB with the JTAG? Is there certain software I need to use to format the drive? I used the 360's dashboard to format it, but I can't open the drive in Explorer 360.

Use Xex Menu ;D

 

[OmegaNemesis28]

Use Xex Menu ;D

that's just it - how do I install XeX Menu on my USB stick? I don't want to boot from a DVD every time.
EDIT:Figured it out. USB Explorer.
