Looking for some JTAG Guidance / HELP

[WNYConsoles]

From the main menu do I install Xell or Xellous and why do I choose Xellous from options when I have a HDMI model?

Also, when I go to create FB it want's to create two FreeBOOT.bin, one before reading and one after???

Xellous is an updated version of Xell

Are you selecting your nand1 image, it should only create one Freeboot

No its asking you to pick which nand you want to base your freeboot.bin off of. Then its asking you what you want to save your new freeboot.bin as. Write xell to get the cpu key first. When you create and write the freeboot.bin it will auto update xell to xellous

OK I did flash it and it sorta works. On regular boot I was on 12650 and upon booting from DVD button I received E79 but after power down it booted into Xell.

I read somewhere that the E79 is a common issue with Zypher and a diode on one of the wires helps? Can't remember off the top of my head, I have it booked mark somewhere.


EDIT1: I do have one problem though. When I did my original dumps with nandpro and comparing them there were no issues however I just randomly decided to compare my 2 dumps with each other with JTAG Tool and it says 5 non-matching blocks, is this a problem? I also have KV and C1/C2 dumps.


EDIT2: Found the tutorial on the alternative SMC points, going to do that to prevent the E79 errors on Zypher. So am going to start all over however I am concerned about that 5 non-matching blocks. Right now I am re-flashing back to my first dump and starting over fresh. If anyone has suggestions or comments about the non-matching blocks I would appreciate it.

OK, I am back! First off, I want to thank you all for your help and instructions, I truly appreciate it.

I decided to do the Zypher AUD_CLAMP and DVD_Tray fix, however I the DVD tray opens when you power on the console, I know this is normal.

My question is, the setting in JTAG Tool for "DVD Drive Yes/No" what does this represent in JTAG Tool, does this mean it prevents the drive from opening when powered on or that it disables the drive completely?
