FALCON PANICKING!! ACCIDENTALLY DESOLDERED SOMETHING ON CR4

[nikko058]

Okay so as the post says i think i screwed up the CR4 compleatly.... but i want to make sure... or if there is a way to fix it.... as you can see the circular thing above the G pad has been compleatly removed as i was trying to remove a tiny bit of solder from on top of it
(OPEN IN NEW TAB IF ITS TOO BIG)

i have the piece still but i doubt it'll do any good but what surprises me is that before it got removed the light only blinked once every 5 seconds with no glitching occurring but now the light is flashing AND i can hear the console trying to glitch but nothing happens not even video....

My next problem ive written the ECC to the nand but it wont boot Xell at all before i accidentally removed the circular thing abouve G the green light would flash BUT no glitching would occur NOW the console TRIES to glitch but still isnt booting xell i left it on for over 6 hours and it didnt even load Xell so

(CONSOLE WORKS WITH STOCK NAND)

1 have i screwed up the CR4 it seems to be functioning without it.. but if so is it fixable/ bypassable?

2 what is wrong with my ECC file ?

3 ive made about a dozen posts in this section alone concerning issues on the same console FOR 5 DAYS i know its my first RGH but should i just give up? its kinda sad now that i think about it, i knew falcon RGH2 were a pain in the ass but jesus its FRUSTRATING!!!!!!!!

Thanks in advance,
Nikkoli

Problem is that you dont have enought soldering expierience. Its good that your console boots at all. Simply stop wasting your time and give it to pro.

Looks like you are attempting rgh2 onit now but CPU rst is In the wrong spot on the cr4 and you removed the ipex connector. I'm not sure because I'm at work right now but being that you removed it you may have to solder to one of the pads that held it on or maybe not but the CPU_RST pad is the d pad not the g pad. Either way your soldering is horrendous and this thing needs some TLC from a pro.

well i don't really have to worry about the console i have 3 more where that came from but when you get off work could you explain the ipex cable and the problem with giving it to a pro is i have no cash once soever to pay one and besides im a Do It Yourself kinda guy so although frustrating this is something i really enjoy doing... so i cant just give up truth be told i was expecting word of encouragement so that's depressing

P.S ive been soldering for over 3 years so i have experince, just not a very steady hand again another obstacle to my dream...

A/B have been soldered to, so you've tried R-JTAG at some point. Did you kill the console that way ?

 

[ablegepu]

I would desolder every wire one at a time and trim it down as short as you can and resolder it and the blue wire needs to go to the d pad on the cr (not the g pad). Then try to boot it. And let it glitch till it boots. Should take less than 20 glitches (green light pulses) if it doesn't boot after 20 glitches try different dip settings.

it would be interesting to see the solder points on the board

if i was that bad at do it yourself i would not do it myself, you say you have no money , you will need some to buy more consoles

 

[briggs01]

looking at your photo , you have red for power , you have used green for earth should be black , yellow for C, blue for G, white for E should be green , but it does matter really my question is what it the other green wire for running along side the white

for R-JTAG do you NEED the AUG-clamp i ruined the qsb that does the aug clamp sadly OR is there a direct soldering way like for R-JTAG?i found this

http://forum.coolshrimpmodz.com/for...support/136-r-jtag-install-diagrams-wire-only

but i don't get the diode part does it man i put one diode to the point and ground it to the board? or is there supposed to be a point that im missing? if i can get past that the i would DEFINITELY do the R-JTAG cuz that's what i tried first then went to RGH 2 because i messed up the QSB for it it i solder those with no problem at all and it was ALOT better than this hack job ive done now but i have a friend who is a master at soldering (bot as much experience but a steadier hand and can overall do a but load
better than me )

im sorry that im asking so many noobish/stupid questions guys im sorry if im not allowed to get personall but i have autism (spisificly asbergers) and it talkes ALOT of repition /clarification for me to do some of the simplist tasks and it takes awhile for me to comprehend things

My advice is just stick to rgh2+ for now until you get it booting and set up, then if you aren't satisfied with the rgh2+ you can always change it up to rjtag method larger on. If you really want to know if it will work just move the blue wire from the g pad to the d pad on the cr4 and make sure the ecc is flashed to the console using glitch2 and cr4 settings in jrunner then turn it on and if thee green debug light flashes every 5 seconds just wait and it will most likely boot. Then once you are all happy and warm and fuzzy inside go back and take your time and tidy up those wires and clean it All up and make it look professional.

well according to this guide by ubergeek

from which i understand in the picture of the CR4 the blue wire goes to G not D so which is it? its no offence to ANYONE but i honestly would trust uber unless someone can prove him wrong.....



EDIT: ive found a thread that describes my problem EXACTLY could someone look at this and see what i left out? i did EVERYTHING this guy did with the same result but i dont know if it was ever solved sadly isw it possible for someone to shed some light on this its not even booting to Xell

EDIT 2: ive redone all but the blue wire even on the CR4 ill post pics in one sec i used flux and everything but the light is still flashing every 5 seconds but it does it for a riduculaus amout of time and never boots should i just tuinker with the dips by chance?

 

[ablegepu]

My fault I'm getting em mixed up with the slim installs CPU_RST point.

 

[ablegepu]

You can try to play with the dips and set the post bit jumper but we really need to see pictures of every point on the motherboard that you have soldered to.

it wont even boot to Xell for the first time wich should be instant correct? Thats my main problem ive written the ECC smd now it flashes every 5 seconds correct but even if i press eject it refuses to boot to XELL which is i think is my only problem ive done my soldering over and over and over again using flux every time but im still getting the SAME result could it be possible that J Runner had built a bad ECC? could someone try sending me a RGH2 CR4 FALCON ECC with dash 16547? im quite sure its the ECC and i cant seem to figure out why? everything is [perfect except video and Xell booting if i flash stock nand back it works perfectly so what next? if you want pictures of my current solder let me know and if someone could create me a ECC file for me to try id be eternally grateful

sorry for the late reply man but YES i did try a R-Jtag but as naturally gifted i am at screwing things up the aug clamp QSB is.... put it this way it looks like those little burnt crumbs you hvae left over when frying food so yeah that happened.... BUT MY RGH has gone slightly better could you look at the post before this one i know everything functions BUT XEll wont boot when [pressing Eject can you shed some light on this friend?

P.S Compleatly off topic but what is the John Matthews protection agency? just curios.

So have u tried all dip settings

[nikko058]

If this is true.... then step away from the soldering equipment and send this to a pro and get it fixed. This is obviously outside your skill set.

dude i was exaggerating lol im not that bad XD but i did mess up the aud clamp pad thats all lol

So have u tried all dip settings

http://team-xecuter.com/forums/threads/148002-CR4-XL-PHAT-Opus-Falcon-Jasper-Install-Guide-(RGH2-)

no i havent i thought Xell booted without the dips i have tried alot of them though from that guide. and one more question. i none of the dips work will i need to change my jumper and then start over?

i havent to be honest i thought Xell boot instantly regardless of the dip settings and just to clarify if all the dips dont work on one jumper setting would i have to move on to the next jumper? again im really sorry for asking so many questions I know the concept just not the details.... and i had no idea it takes this much patince but im too stubbon to stop been up for 48 hours straight and thats not including the other 9 days ive worked on this i over think things so much i pracice psych myself out it but im too stubborn to quit you could say im obsessed with it lol the only way i will quit is if all my consoles are dead.... BUUUUUT im starting to wander off topic so ill leave it at that

oh and guys i want to thank you for your help and patience as ive said before it took me 11 days total to get this far but when i get it right i'll probably be able to get it done in a reasonable amout of time but until then i really want to thank you guys you all have helped me alot so far.... and i hope that this wont take much longer cuz i hate to keep bothering you guys
