how long does it take....

[CheaterTheHax]

how long does it take to boot to xell for first time after flashing ecc. I notice i got my console to boot with no rrod, but just flashes the middle green led. was wondering if it takes a good amount of time or if it should be instant. and do i need the coolrunner hooked up to get to xell?

Is this a Jasper by any chance?

You need to have the CoolRunner installed and enabled at all times in order for your console to be able to "glitch" .

 

[Krafter]

Depends on the console. Most should be within seconds if done properly. What kind of console do you have?

 

[X4life3]

Yes you need the coolrunner connected to use anything with the RGH. And the boot time various depending on console and motherboard type.

 

[CheaterTheHax]

console type is zephyr

 

[X4life3]

zephyr consoles generally don't like to be RGH'd.

 

[Krafter]

I've only done one Zephyr and it took between 5 and 15 seconds to boot but it never failed to do so.

Zephyr consoles are a pain to glitch and you are lucky if you get one to glitch at all.

The best thing you can do is try tweaking with the wiring and maybe adding a 68nF cap across CPU_PLL_BYPASS and GND like with Jaspers (or bridge the CAP pads if you have a CoolRunner Rev B).

add the cap on the console itself or the coolrunner?

 

[BL4K3Y]

If you don't have the pads on your CoolRunner, the cap goes on the CoolRunner (see the attached image - thanks to seanr28).

with this attached, how long 'should' it take to boot to xell?

 

[Krafter]

It may or may not improve anything. I put a cab on the one I did and it made it worse. Each console is different. You will just have to try it and see if it helps.

 

[BL4K3Y]

I honestly couldn't say, Zephyr units are finicky consoles and you will be lucky if it boots.

As I said, try adding the cap and altering wire positioning underneath the board.

If he has a CR rev B the capacitor should be on board right?

that raises another question then, when it boots to xell, doesnt the middle led just flash. cuz that all mine does.

That is correct, although he wouldn't have asked where to fit the cap if he had a Rev B CoolRunner

This usually happens when there is no DVD-ROM connected to the console.

That's only because you don't have your DVD drive attached.

sorry for all questions, but if i flash over the ecc, will my xbox boot normally with the power button?

Your console should only boot to XeLL with the ECC image flashed to the NAND.

i mean to the dash
