Manufacturer for code FF not found

[xzanox]

{{{FIXED}}} HAD TO SEND THIS BOARD IN FOR REPAIR. MARTIN C REPAIRED THIS ONE, WORKS AGAIN! PROBABLY A BAD FLASH WAS THE ISSUE, BUT TRYING TO DO BAD FLASH RECOVERY, I RIPPED A RESISTOR THAT HAS BEEN REPAIRED LATER

Btw, discovered later that i had soldered the demon RB point wrong on the DemoN itself, crazy nobody (including myself) noticed this during support...

Description of problem: When trying to read nand from xbox says Manufacturer for code FF not found.

Was the console working before you started: Yes, glitching perfect with CR3 pro, decided to add the demon to this console. Now it doesn't glitch and it doesn't read the xbox nand through the demon.

Hi all, sorry to have this question, because i've read in other threads it is most likely something to do with a short in the solder points (bad soldering or something not connected), but i cannot find anything. I had this console glitching with the Cr3 pro (dips 6 and 7 on, 100 pf cap, cpu_rst point on post qsb) and it glitched fine within 1 or 2 glitches. I am actually kinda shamed to post this thread, but i have rerun all my points and even resoldered if i thought it could be better.

I am using a magnifier watchmaker glass to see if there are any bridges, but i can't find none. Also continuity checked on front and backside mobo. Multimeter set to 200 ohms with sound, all the points give me beep and display -1... I have added pictures of course,

can anybody see what is not connected well or seems to be giving me this headache? I have installed the drivers and updated the firmware to 1.04 before installing with micro usb cable. Demon is well reckognized in Jrunner. When i read the demon it doesn't give me errors, but i've heard that is because there is nothing on it yet if i am correct. As soon i try to read my mobo type it gives device not found (jrunner log) so gives me feeling nand points are not correct? Please give me a pointer where to start looking...

Thanks for your time, keep in mind i have only done 4 RGh and this is my first demon, but i have practiced on dead boards till i fell from my chair. I have read the instruction card and i am well aware of the risk involving installing this highly developed demon device, but my solderig skills are pretty ok if you see the pictures...Don't want to sound cocky because i realize i defenitely made an error somewhere along the line, but if someone has an idea, i think i will be able to fix it (soldering wise or otherwise i mean)Ribbon cables checked several times since those can be a pita also when reading, but no succes. If any more info is needed, i'll hear it. SWITCH on Demon is set to XB! I haven't changed that anymore after install. Edit: some more closup pics of demon

"Also continuity checked on front and backside mobo"

What have you checked from and to?

"Also continuity checked on front and backside mobo"

What have you checked from and to?

I hope i am doing that correct, but for example I put one point of my multimeter stick to underside red wire point on and the other point of my multimeter stick to upper side red wire point mobo. Like in the picture I add, and from end of wires to other end of that same color wire... forgive my noobness if i am doing this completely wrong...

 

[Martin C]

What about the QSBs? How are you checking those?

 

[xzanox]

What about the QSBs? How are you checking those?

:facepalm: could you give me a pointer on how to do that exactly? I've touched (tried) pressing one of the "legs" of the nand chip and then on one of the qsb points. One moment i got a signal, but with the other qsb points i didn't. But that is because i am not sure how to test those.... Sorry. Btw, on all other (wire) points i got a signal, every one of them, Oh and i have added some more closeup pictures, could you take a look at them? Maybe it's something Obvious i am missing with these untrained eyes.. All the qsb points aren't touching eachother, i have inspected them very closely.

 

[xzanox]

The point circled in red doesn't give a signal at all, the circle in green gives me a signal of 0.02 while all the qsb points give me a -1. Does that say something about shorting for the green circle? I will be trying to redo these points again. (Touched every single qsb point at a time and stroke the legs of the nand chip for signal. Got it on all of them except the one in circle red) This might be the issue right?) Edit: resoldered, those points circelled give me good signal now and all read -1. Going to test it in the case again....

 

[Martin C]

Yes, that's how you test for continuity.

Before you even installed it, you should have been able to ascertain where the QSBs go on both the DemoN and (the vias) on the main board. In short, the 360 NAND should be connected to the DemoN NAND.

 

[xzanox]

Martin, It is solved, sorry for the hassle it were those points circled. Thread answered fixed! Thanks for your time. I redid those solder points and now it does read the nand of the xbox correct.Just one more question: I already have (of course because it already had rgh2) the cpu key. But now when i read the nands of the xbox (xbox selected, not demon) it doesn't show the cpu key in Jrunner. Btw i am booting it now and the cr3 pro won't blink green dbg light, so no glitch... Any ideas?

 

[Martin C]

Because you have the DemoN connected to the CR3-Pro, it expects the stock NAND to be on the console and RGH NAND on the DemoN.

:facepalm: Man o man what am I still learning... Gonna do that right after dinner... Keep it as fixed, if something comes up, I'll report back ok. Thanks for your time.

Was I supposed to create again a new glitch image to write to the demon? I now wrote my original NAND that I had saved somewhere to the Xbox back and I used the updflash from that same folder to write to the NAND.

Now when I try to turn on the Xbox, it doesn't do anything, just a beep every time I press on/off.

In the jrunner log it says couldn't find a part of the path, that must be giving me this booting error right? Should I create a total new freeboot image?

Just wrote a new image created after writing and putting original NAND in source. Wrote the new image to demon. Still same problem, no booting at all. Power brick stays orange...

Just a thought, bit was I supposed to change the red wire or something from my cr3 pro when trying to boot original NAND?? I know it's needed to if you want to see if it still boots NAND, but that is WITHOUT the demon. What about with the demon attached? My Xbox doesn't boot at all now with the setup seen in the
pictures.... Edit: I just tried booting with both red wires 5v desoldered, but same problem, just a beep every time i press ON button. Nothing happens. Original nand is on the xbox. My resitor value of R3B15 is 330 ohms... (read this in similar thread about a demon not booting xbox)

 

[Martin C]

Let's get some terminology straight.

Not booting = system powers on but doesn't get to dashboard.
Not starting = system won't power on.

With this in mind, what does your console do with the stock NAND on both 360 and DemoN, when you try to boot from each?

 

[xzanox]

Not starting: Xbox power supply is plugged in. Orange light on brick. When pressing the ON button, it just a beep and then nothing happens. Power stays off. Before i had the qsb solder points ordened (see above posts) the xbox was trying to boot (power on console, ROL green blinking because of no dvd attached) but no green dbg light on cr3 pro. Then i finished writing the Original nand back to the console and the updflash to the demon and after that the ROL dont even light up and the system doesnt start. Btw, when plugged in psu, the red power light on the cr3 pro is on and the blue light on the demon when selected. I can write and read in Jrunner.... And switch between nands. Just doesn't start

 

[Martin C]

Is it not starting from either NAND?

 

[BrockThunderjam]

Does it also not boot to stock?

[xzanox]

No, i just wrote Original nand to demon as well as the xbox. When switching between them (pressing button on usb port demon) it doesn't start or turn on. No fans working, not even trying to start turn. Just one beep every time i press the ON button. You guys want me to make a short video or so?

 

[Martin C]

I would recheck all solder points again. Something is still wrong.

 

[xzanox]

Is there a way to check if stock nand works, do i need to desolder the whole demon for that? Like i've said, i tried without the 5v wire attached but that didn't make any difference.

 

[BrockThunderjam]

If I were you I'd go over all solder points again as Martin said (although TBH your soldering is top notch). If that doesn't do it, I would remove everything. Do you have another means to write to the nand? (nand-x, JRP other?) If so, you can write to the onboard nand that way to see if something is wrong with the console.

Also - how did you get such clear pics? Those are very nice.

Also, judging by your soldering skills, I would say you already know this but use solder braid when removing the demon and CR3 Pro. Take your time, go slow, make sure all joints are desoldered before you attempt to lift.

Ay i was hoping that wouldn't be necessary, but i guess i'll have to spend another afternoon setting this straight. Any idea on how this can happen, all was working ok with the demon when solder points were redone. I just tested all (qsb) points againn, and only on this red circle one , i dont get a reading when i touch the demon nand. The xbox nand it does give a reading of -1. This is the only point doing that, i just resoldered it, but no change. Can that be of some assitance helping me out? Btw took the pics with Nikon D5100, lots of pixels
