RGH Nand-X Not Reading Nand

[aarongdl]

So I RGHed my jasper console and decided it was time to revert back to stock seeing as I got my drive key. Well, I soldered my nand x to the right points etc, and needless to say it won't detect.

I keep getting Flash Config 0x00000000 or 0xFFFFFFFF
which says it's bad soldering so I figure alright whatever, I'll redo. Same thing. Ive resoldered this to 3 different boards, and done it several times, however now I can't read the nand on a single board.

Any help.?

Read my NAND-x troubleshooting guide.

Was looking at it, your images are dead.
Edit: Also don't have a multimeter, + the consoles still work normally, I just cant read the nand from them.

A multimeter is pretty cheap to buy.

Just because your console powers on, it doesn't mean that the SPI points can't be dead (which may be the case here) - we won't know until you measure them.

You need a meter - full stop.

 

[aarongdl]

We I doubt that all of them on several different consoles died. It's making me mad now seeing as I was supposed to trade these consoles off to help pay for some christmas presents. The jasper now doesn't boot, for some unknown reason.

How about you do what you should have done in your OP and post some images?

nobody can help ya,with out images,and all good modders have a multimeter it is a standard thing to have tbh

the eye cant see what a meter can

 

[aarongdl]

I have a meter however it doesn't turn on. I'm finding it hard to believe that all 3 motherboards cant have their nands read out of the blue.

Some Ive never even soldered to before and it wont read the nand.

anyways I added Pins to the ends of the wires to make installation quicked and I know the pic looks like the wires arent touching, but they arent, I can assure you.

This is on the underside of the board and all I am getting is Flash config 0x00000000 Can Not continue.

HO-LEE f**k.

Your problem is right there.

If youre going to insult me then please, don't post? I just wanna get this problem fixed. It was fine yesterday, came home, and now it won't read any of my consoles nand's. Is it the nand x?

You are missing the point - your NAND-X is 99% fine.

Lose those "legs" from your NAND-X wires and try again.

OMG another Ray Charles install, I love these. Why is it people do stuff like this and then decide to blame it on TX products?

 

[aarongdl]

Desoldered the legs and soldered just wires, still a no go.
this picture is installed a new stock console, never soldered on until just not. Still getting 0x00000000

Dont know about you, but to me the ''Dark Red'' wire looks like its soldered over the top of several tracks?

Im a noob at modding and soldering and even i know that you should NEVER solder flat onto the board, you solder into the holes/point at a ~90c angle */facepalm*

TBH you should have just used the Team Xecuter ''Pin Headers'' to connect a nand-x its much smoother and you can leave them on the board for later tweaking

 

[madhaxer]

And you have the power plugged in but not turned on?

 

[aarongdl]

Yes, power supply is plugged into the wall and console, took out the rf module just to be sure I didnt turn it on, nowehere near the eject button.

 

[madhaxer]

Well to be honest the red wire don't look connected good, but not sure if that's it.

check to see if you havent damaged your STBY_CLK,almost 100% of the time its that bugger that gives you all zero's when trying to read nand...Worst case scenario if the console still boots into xell flash orig from there ,remove CR or set to prog and see if it'll boot stock..also are you using non conductive flux,coz i had a board where i used nickel based flux and it shorted somewhere ,and it stopped me from reading/flashing nand using nandx

 

[aarongdl]

Didnt think about flashing the nand that way. I cant read/write the nand on anyboard at the moment though.
