Problem here with an Arcade

[[email protected]]

Got a Arcade 256mb (which is stated on the Box).

I installed the nandx things and worked thru azeems tutorial.

I got the "original" nand (256mb) via jtagtool three times with error 250 on 1750 and 3358.

After I came to the point that I should write back the xbr_smc.bin (which is only aroud 70 mb big nandpro tells me it has found a 512mb nand.

What is wrong here? I did not look in the dashboard. Just opened the box and get going.

Is this normal? After the flash I only get a black screen with working fans.

whats the MFR date on the back of the console

Strang thing is that jtagtool said nothing of 512mb in the nandpro window

 

[manwithoutname]

Jtag tool won't detect the size of your NAND, that's why you got to tell it your self via the drop down list.

Are you aiming to keep XBR or move onto Freeboot after? I haven't done a Jasper yet but all the Zephyrs I done I just modified the smc points for xell, got CPU key and used the modified smc file to create a freeboot image. So I don't use XBR at all.

Well I try to go to freeboot. But without cpukey?

When I try to write the original nand back I get many error - 300.

I wrote back the original nand and got errors in higher areas. I stopped the writing and put the box back on the tv. There it run perfect and I formatted the internal ram which was 512 mb. So now I have to use the 512 command or should I try to use just to rip 2mb out of the ram and use xell and xellous? Which I don't know how

Did you follow up in Azeem's tutorial how I mentioned to change the smc points for xell and install it using either jtag tool or nand pro? Then once you got your CPU key, compile a freeboot image. You can't run freeboot without the CPU key.

Dump the whole NAND with the 512MB NAND command and use this dump for for making XBR or Freeboot etc.

Well I think I did not explained it much.

When I try to write the original 256 nand back which I extracted because I thought this Arcade is a 256mb box (it was stated on the box in which the xbox was) on the 512mb which this box is. I get errors beyond the first 64mb. Should I use the -w512 option or the -w256 to write the wrong original nand back to the box and extract then a 512 image or am I lost here completly. I changed the smc points in the 256 nand.

When I wrote back the wrong extracted nand the box starts up again. Even when I stop the writing when the first errors appear. I formatted the internal MU and now I'm at the point where I can begin at point one or am I wrong?

It also take ages to extract 512mb would it be enough to extract 64mb? Somewhere I read the 2mb wold be enough

Your Xbox360 is working because the vital data necessary for the Xbox360 to work is present in the first 16MB of the incomplete NAND dump you made.

Now, once your Xbox360 boots, format the internal MU. Then make a complete dump of 512MB of data and keep it as a backup.

Then make another dump of only the first 16MB of the NAND and then use this dump to make the freeboot or XBR or whatever you need.

Did that and there are errors again in the non vital area. I'm half the way thru now and got on 1750 and 3358 again the error 250.

To extract just 16mb I need the -r16 command?

So now I changed the SMC and wrote back the xbr_smc.bin.

When I push the power button on the rol or the eject button the xbox turns on, the fans run on normal speed but the screen stays black (i'm connected via scart and tried component, too).

Is this problem known? I resoldered the Jtagpoints again, but that's not the problem.

Since the XBR image is only 16MB, I suppose you wrote only the 16MB?

The XBR Image is nearly 70 mb. I tried it with the small one and got high running fans with black screen and after that I used the 512mb nand kvs and the 70mb xbr. The I got black screen and normal running fans.

should I use the 16mb?

I will go to bed now. It's late here. Maybe if you got any hints, try to write them down. I hate those bigblock boxes.

Just skip the XBR part and use XeLL instead. Write back your original NAND. Change the SMC of the XeLL image and write it to the NAND.

The whole 512mb? 2 Hours?

 

[M AzeeM K]

The whole 512mb? 2 Hours?

Just write as much needed for it to boot into the original dash. Then get XeLL and change its SMC using UpdateMySMC. Then write the XeLL with modified SMC to your NAND. Remember, after changing the SMC of the XeLL image using UpdateMySMC, it won't remain of 2MB, instead it will become a 16MB file. Don't worry, write the whole 16MB to the NAND.

After this, boot XeLL, get your CPU Key and move onto making the freeboot image for your console using manwithoutname's method.

FLashed my original nand back and hook it up the tv. Everything boots up correct.

Flashed Xell aftger I used the DumpSMC-fromANY_image.exe and after that update-my-SMC!.exe with the values of your tutorial.

Then I flashed it with nandpro usb: -w16 jasper.bin (named it plain jasper.bin. Jasper_6723_hack_for_256mb_512mb.bin was the original name)

Removed the psu for a minute

Hook it up the tv and put the psu in

Xbox starts normally but just a black screen and nothing more. Started it via eject button and via the normal power button.

There is something I do make wrong.

Now it works. What is this for a crazy night. Will see what happens now.

1. Are you sure you selected JasperBB in UpdateMySMC and DumpSMCfromAnyImage ?

2. You used a component VGA cable set on SD(TV) mode, right ?

3. Does the ROL light up like it does when Xbox360 boots normally ?
