First, wrong section for the subject. Second no, you don't have to have the motherboard attached to anything except the PSU when reading from or writing to the NAND.
what is the best watt solidering iron to use on 360 motherboard
At the momment i am using 30watt soldering iron is this too powerfull ????
as i am soldering wires on but motherboard is going black but i can rub it off i think it is to powerfull
Can anyone help

haha well hey i can just solder lol
but i will keep trying practice makes perfect
theres got to be an easyer way or reading nand chip??????
keep getting cannot read flash controler arrrrrrrrrr
not useing flux got it in solder a think lol well should have
is it better to use LPT way too read nand
insted of using usb reader
is it more stable does it cut out that CANNOT READ FLASH CONTROLER sh*t
sorry for swaring team xecuter but i am sick of seeing it now bort too readers
The Team xecuter Nand-x reader
and diy gadget usb spi nand reader
CANNOT READ FLASH CONTROLER All i get i am still going to try but would realy like some
advise and help as it has sent me round the twist
I have USB360 pro and that works fab its ace but as for nand no [email protected]@k what so ever
I dont not want to slag xecuter nand-x reader off as 360 pro is brill
the reason i bort it is how much and what people said about it

Its not the NAND-X that is the issue when it comes to "Cannot detect flash controller" its the solder joints to the board. If you're terrible at soldering it doesn't matter if you go LPT or NAND-X or another SPI its going to say that. Personally Im decent when it comes to soldering and the LPT caused a ton of read errors NOT the flash controller error but block errors and none of my dumps were consistant. The two JTAGs I've done with NAND-X have gone perfect no flash controller errors. If you plan on doing it more than once and would like to make life easier buy a NAND-X as there is tons of support here and its flawless aside from user error. If not you can go the LPT route but make sure your dumps are consistant but $50 bucks is nothing when it comes to JTAG systems and it supports the community. So its really up to you
i have the nand-x and i like it and as for my soldering well you are right its not that good specaly when i have a trapted nerve in my left arm lol
i will not have damaged any tracks trying and trying will i i have been as carefull as i can with it
when you are going to read nand do you have to jtag as i think you do but a lot of people say not to???
i am using 30watt soldering iron is this to powerfull as i have yes,s and no,s about this

A 30 watt is fine so long as you don't leave it in place for too long. My first two JTAGs were done with a 40 watt. This last one was done with a 15 you just want to melt the solder and pull the iron away. Are you using the QSB's (Quick Solder Boards) or the pin headers? You don't need to install the JTAG wiring to dump the NAND. Its only needed just before you write Xell/Xellous to the NAND to retrieve your CPU key.
