I'm having problems reading nand from Corona MFR Date: 21 July 2012, 9,6A.
I always get Flash 0x0000000 Unable to Continue Error.
I tried everything I could think of: replacing NanD-X, USB cable, wires and always get the same error.
Xbox works though.

Then I took another Xbox from the same batch, same error. Then I took an older Corona (MFR date February 2012) and it works.

Motherboard rev is : A-1

PS: This is not Corona 4GB.

Pictures of soldering please, Also. Are you sure it's not a 4gb Corona.

I have seen one with the 4GB Memory module removed

I know it sounds funny but I have come by 4gb corona with NAND on top aswell as under the mobo

Proppa ages ago before the method was released I posted this aswell asking why there were two different versions

Someone said the difference is one is 16mb and other is 4gb
I pointed out there both new boxed 4gb versions ( I opened the two boxes)

@OggyUK so there is a new revision of Corona?

I checked under storage, there is none. 4GB should have it.
I compared two Coronas (both from X360 250GB consoles) and there are differences around JTAG ports, the one I have lacks resistors at C2C4, C2C6, C2C3, R2C4 and possibly others.

Can get better pictures later, but please trust me, its not soldering.
