its a Xenon, i am using the Nand-x, pin headers, laptop w/Vista, Jtag tool 3.0
i get a bad block at 0051. this is the first bad block i have encountered.
I started by updating to 7371, dashboard works perfectly, no problems. I dumped the nand 4 times, 0 non-macthing blocks, all show bad block at 0051 @0x3ff in 360 Flash Dump v.95. i wrote xell got cpu key, created and flashed freeboot, freezes at the xbox logo. every time at the same point. when i flash back original nand, dash boots fine, no freezing.
So i tried remapping the block with Jtag tool. after looking around, i took my nand3.bin(original) unmapped it, saved as nand3unmapped.bin, the wrote freeboot, then remapped freeboot. still freezes
i also nand3unmapped.bin, remapped it, then created, flashed freeboot. no luck still freezes.
so i tried the nand3unmapped.bin, remapped it, created, flashed freeboot, from there. no luck freezing.
i guess the moral of this, is i am not convinced i remapped it correctly. i hate to sound so simple, but can can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?
I have never messed with manually remapping, i cant get Degraded 1.1 to work. i used hex editor neo, to change the date from 2004-2006 to 2004-2005, saved it, but Degraded keeps crashing saying it has stopped working and needs to shut down.

Are you able to read/write to 0x051 ?

try nandpro usb: -r16 test.bin 51 1

If it lets you do it, you may need to blank this block out.

Let me know either way.

You must not be typing it right, Are you putting the colon":" in front of usb:, You also have to be in the nandpro directory, Use cd C:\whatever the dir is, Then type the command Martin C provided letter for letter

yes i posted a pic of what Nandpro did after i typed what he asked me to. i dl'd nandpro, tried that, no luck. thats where i got my error. but after Martin c wrote about using Jtag tool, ichecked it out. so i typed what he said in the command box of jtag tool. i thought the pic showed my command, but i can take another to show you.

Use ALT+Print screen those are too small to read, Use Command prompt as admin and navigate to the nandpro directory, Its best if you put in the root of the C:\ drive and name it nandpro, Then type Cd\, Then cd nandpro, then the command.

Do you have your new kv.bin??, Try re-doing it, Put your nand dumps and your new kv.bin in the nandpro directory, Make sure you got the newest nandpro (E) from xbins, Then follow this exactly how it says http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54531, After you flash xell and your new kv.bin use jtag tool to put xellous and create a free boot image and write it

Or give this a read http://www.team-xecuter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52765&highlight=nandpro20

if you click on my link for photobucket, the pics are much better. im sorry, alt-printscreen doesnt do anything. pardon my ignorance!
nandpro is renamed, and already on root of C: i stopped trying it, since it seemed to work with jtag tool.

Your first pic looks fine.

So, you need to write a block of zeroes in place of 0x051 as this has been remapped to 0x3FF.

Take the block you've read and open it in a hex editor.

Fill the entire 16k block with zero's.

Now, write back to your NAND

nandpro usb: -w16 test.bin 51

Now try booting again.

i dont see a tut for that in your sig. im just confused as hell right now. you forgot more in the 15 minutes than i know!
i tried creating a freeboot image from the remapped nand, still froze. what i tried before was to unmapp my original nand, creat freeboot, then remap. i saw a video on youtube that did it that way. i really appreciate your patience with me!
