Installing The Nand-X (Xenon, Zypher, Opus, Falcon, Jasper) By Jed

Parts List :

A : Nand-X Nand Reader and Writer

B : Mini B (5 Pin) Usb Cable

C : Quick Solder Pad For J1D2 (Next To the Nand)

D : Quick Solder Pad For J2D1 (Next To Video Cable Input)

E : Quick Solder Pad For J2D2 (JTAG) (Closet Debug Port To Gpu and Heatsink)

F : Quick Solder Pad For J1F1 (JTAG)(Xenon Only) (Bottom Left 6 Pins)

G : JTAG Cable For (Zypher, Opus, Falcon, Jasper ONLY !)

H : Quick Solder Cable Joiner For Part E and F (For Complete Circut)

I : Quick Solder Pads Cable / Joiner Into Nand-X Nand Reader and Writer (Only)

J (3 Parts) Part 1 = Cable, Part 2 and 3 = Little Pin Blocks[/B]
(Picture = Nand-X Retail Final Post)

Part 1 : Installing JTAG

Xenon (ONLY !)
(Xecuter Has Allready Made a Picture)
When installing use these parts F and E,
To Install Remove the White piece of plastic on the bottom of the quick solder pads to make them sticky and Align them like so in the picture and grab your soldering iron. When soldering just touch the holes and drag your iron across to create a connection. After You have soldered them in connect the yellow and blue cable as below to create a completed JTAG circut (Part H ^)

Zypher, Opus, Falcon, Jasper
(Xecuter Has Allready made a Picture)
when installing this you will need parts (Labeled Above) E and G.
firsly get Part E and remove the white piece of plastic then align them like so in the bottom picture.
When soldering The Pads onto the motherboard just grab a bit of solder and then touch it to the hole on the motherboard and then drag your iron (NOT HARD JUST A MOVEMENT) to create a connection bewteen the board port and quick solder pad.

To install the cable simply look below and get part G,
The White Block Connector goes into the Part E, and the smallest end of the cable needs to be soldered to Point DB1F1 (Bottom Left Near Eject) and the longest end just solder it to the ROL (Ring of Light) connector on the Front (Second Line, Second Point) as below

Part 2 : Installing Nand-X Quick Solder Pads
You Will Need Parts : C and D For This Part,
Now look at the images below (Sorry about quality I tried with my phone )







Installing Part C (Quick Solder Pad J1D2)
As below you will see the blue connector is pointing down towards the front of the console,
Remove the white piece of plastic on the bottom of the pad to make it sticky and align it so you have the just touching in the the holes,
Then once in place just grab your soldering iron,
To solder pads just grab a length of solder and touch the little hole on the motherboard and drag (NOT HARD JUST A SWIFT MOVEMENT !) to Join the Pad to the motherboard.

Installing Part C (Quick Solder Pad J2B1)
Now like below just remove the piece of plastic to make sticky and align it like so :
Green port to the left / pointing towards dvd sata and power.

solder all of the pads for this one (Ignore the TX, Rx 3.3v and GND pads there for Devs)

Now your all done with soldering !

I take Part I and join blue connector and white connector to J1D2 and green connector to J2B1 (Like Below)

Part 3 : Reading and Writing Nand
Now Im not going to explain the reading as it is explained in the nandpro documention. but when all soldered in etc and have the nand-x plugged into the computer just open nandpro and turn the nand-x on via clicking the black button and usual commands appl


Note : this is not a official , My pictures are sh*t quality because i dont own a extremely good camara so dont complain.

You can use this until CarolinaGamer Brings out his one

 

[Hello-]

Why are some words capitalizrd and some arn't. It really threw me off when I read through the tut. First 2 images are really blurry.

Thanks for the tutorial even though I don't have my nand-x yet. I hope xecutor creates an official one.

allright,

I have edited the caps but i cant help it i must have OCD lol.

The pictures are crappy as i took them with my phone / camara

im sure he will bring one out or CG will.

I like the tutorial. It gives me a good idea of what I'm gonna be doing once I get my kit.

So it's really that easy, huh? The quick-solder boards pretty much line up like a jigsaw puzzle? I love the fact that they have an adhesive on the bottom.

That's why I went ahead and pre-ordered NAND-X...easy. I invested $$ for a separate 360 to JTAG. Might as well remove as much of the human error element as I possibly can.

I'm going to want to internalize a 3.5 HDD and do the 12v fan mod also, though, which is going to be interresting considering my sub-par soldering skills.

I'm anxiously awaiting this product...It's the only thing keeping me from JTAGing this lovely blade dashboard 360 on my "workbench." I heard May 21 is the ship date (from Xecuter to the retailers I assume). Then a couple of days for the retailers to receive and ship, then 3-7 days for me because I live in the U.S. But I live on the east coast so maybe it won't be that bad. Around the 27th or 30th for me I'd imagine.

Great work Team X and Jed!

Thanks !
I have heard many dates but i can tell you honestly there being shipped 21st / 22nd may exactly. my came the next day after i requested the pre-release, You will be very ****ing happy with this as its flys through flashing and reading its like a time machine lol

Good look with installing it mate ! any questions or anything at all post and i will answer to the best of what i have learned my self

Thanks Jed. I doubt the NAND-X installation is going to be a problem. I'm mostly worried about installing the 3.5 HDD.

...and maybe reading/writing from/to the NAND...haven't done too much research on that yet. All I need (software) is Nand Pro, Degraded, and XBR/Freeboot, right?

 

[M AzeeM K]

A nice tutorial. Atleast it gives a nice overview of how to use Nand-X. I wish they had made and released Nand-X...like 3 months ago. It would have been great to use it then. But anyway, better late than never.

Just waiting for the official tutorial now...

 

[Xecuter]

Part 1 pic is wrong. That's the beta version.

However great effort, I will release the official before May 22nd

Remember when soldering ALWAYS use flux. If younhave a clue about soldering I shouldn't have to tell you. If you don't you will get dry joints and a terrible solder flow and will probably f$ck it up ( like the guys who screw up lt switch installs )

For non xenon boards, if you have a non original ROL board(taken from maybe a xenon xbox) would that point on the ROL be the same?

Re: If you want a pre-release NAND-X **NOW** - Read This !!!

Are there any drivers needed for this?
Xp is asking for them when I connect it and nandpro cant find it

ps can't believe that is my 1st post here lol!

 

[[Jed]]

modslave check your PM's

no they are all the same i believe, i havent tested them as i dont have the jtag but i would 100% assume it would work !

point the drive r install to your nandpro folder

Yes you can,I've used a xenon ROL on a falcon.

Thanks for confirming that!

Just received my copy of test NAND-X. Let the fun begin

BTW It's SOOO small

 

[garus]

I can't make it work with PC. It detects flasher as MemoryAccess, but I don't know which drivers to install.

EDIT: It works fine on Win7 32bit
