Nand-X E79 Non Xenon (falcon board)

[seanr28]

I have read through the forum extensively and have not been able to find a definitive answer to my problem, any advise / help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been fitting modchip for a good few years now, but have personally never been a fan of the QSbs

Anyway, a few days ago I decided to Jtagg an old spare 360 (confirmed as exploitable) using the nand-x and Jtagg kit

I successfully read the nand using nand pro 3 times, with 0 bad blocks and perfect matches

I then extracted the Key and config parts and injected them into the XBreboot for the falcon board, then used nandpro to re-flash the nand, again with 0 errors

Again it completed with 0 errors, however on turning the 360 on I was greeting with the E79 error, I then tried the over resistance values 33, 470 etc, but still the same E79 error.

At this point I decided it would be good to re-flash with the original Nand file, which I did and again no errors, turned 360 on and it now works perfectly again.

I then decided to re-read the nand using nandpro, but this time I got error 204 at block 0, and this was repeated 3 times so all 3 reads are the same.

Why and how would this be please?


I then decided to use Jtagg tool to write XELL to the nand, this also wrote with 0 errors, but still I get E79, does this point to a problem with my soldiering?

Once thing to is that I do not have hte DVD drive at this stage, would / will this casue an issue after the exploit? as the 360 boots fine with orginal nand image and no dvd drive.

Many thanks in advance, much appreciated

can you post a pic of the jtag side install

 

[seanr28]

of course

The DBF1 point does'nt look great, but its definatley taken.

but your opinion is more than welcome.....

You mention that you got E79 after install xell, did you boot via power button or eject button?

Also you might want to consider this as an alternative!

 

[seanr28]

i tried booting with both, although i dont have the dvd drive at the minute

 

[manwithoutname]

Xell will only boot via the eject button, however there is a mixed feedback about whether the DVD drive should be connected or not during xell boot. Give the alternate points a go in the link I posted to you. Remember you don't have to go through the whole XBR to freeboot process, you can just compile freeboot straight away using a modified SMC file.

thanks for the link but most of the pictures no longer work??

 

[manwithoutname]

Are you sure? I just tested them and they all show up just fine!!!

 

[seanr28]

strange there workig now

 

[seanr28]

anyone ealse suggest anything before i remove the board and start to re-soldier? what about the error 204 with nandpro and bad block at 0?

 

[manwithoutname]

All I can say that your written NAND will not match the 1st one you dumped. The NAND changes each time you power on the console as it writes to it self data about the console.

Why remove the boards? Are you re-doing your work or going for the alternate points? If it's the later, just move the end of the red wire from DB1F1 and splice into the DVD open_tray signal wire and join them. As for the yellow one, you can just cut the wire and solder it from below the board at the same point and solder the diode end to the audio_clamp.

thanks, I'm just trying to assertain weather I need to re-soldier or not, I guess it probably is as I followed the tutorial perfectly on reflashing from this forum.

 

[blazin6969]

I had the same problem.....Still not fixed I am also tring the alternate method.

 

[badronaldrule]

trust me you should try the alternate points manwithnoname is a goof guy he help me fix 2 jtags with that his the best you should give it a try...

dont forget to Thank manwithnoname if he help you out

You don't have to wait for a new rebooter in order to Jtag a console. If you Jtag the console, you can update it whenever you want to a new rebooter.

 

[seanr28]

Ok, quick question then, what should happen if I was to turn the Jtag board on whist the nand is back to standard image, should it erro or carry on as normal?

 

[manwithoutname]

It should boot as normal, remember to disconnect the power supply from the console after flashing the original nand though for few seconds before attempting to boot up the console, else it gives you a 3 RROD ...
