No one took into account a total incompetant might try and use it.

Ok, trinity box on 719 dash jrunner ver 265 - its doable right?

Coolrunner is installed and xell coming up every time on powerup using eject.
But nothing happening on regular powerup, coolrunner flashes green various number of times then stops with no video or reading from dvd or usb as far as I can tell.

Is it possible I knackered my nand? Took ages to get the coolrunner to operate properly due to me completely missing the blue wire point on the pst qsb.

So having gotten as far as writing the ecc before I realised the blue wire was fubar I then restarted the jrunner process and using all the incompetance I could muster overwrote my original nand reads.

I've made a couple of assumptions in this wall of text, but if it is that my nand is defunct is it possible to rebuild one from my now patched one and start over?

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

The blue wire is irrelevant for writing the ecc it only comes into play when trying to glitch to load up well. Since you say xell loaded ok then it would seem.it was.glitching fine - you did recover your cpu key from xell, enter that into Jrunner and create then.write the nand image before trying.to boot from the power button didn't you?

If not then you've had a fundamental misunderstanding of the process and really.need.to.go.back to the tutorial and work through it slower, providing your nands are.matching.i don't see a reason.why the overwritten ones should not be ok to run.with.

I ddnt see anything about you making a freeboot and writing if.

That's because we don't use 'freeboot' any more....

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

JRunner has support for newer dashes, you just need your keys and .bin files. You deff. can rebuild retail or GG with JRunner, I have. Also, power cycle... pull plug for a 30sec. after writting new image.

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

Thx for the advice so far.

Awesome video, that what what I was using as a guide for the install.

Still having no joy. Solid red light on coolrunner and green light flashing variable amounts until it stops, then no video.

Am I passed the stage that it could be a bad solder point? I have checked and rechecked.

Any ways gonna trawl about a bit see if I can figure any more out.

that green flashing could be your secondary code error count the amount of flashes and take notice on where the flash is comming from and google the 2ndary code errors and find yours

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

Sorry - meant the green light on the CR.
Getting constant green light on the console.

Starting to think it may be an LDV issue. Picked up the console as a refurb. I think I updated the dash twice since I got it, yet jrunner shows an LDV of 1.

just for your info - J-Runner DOES auto remap bad blocks within first 50 blocks for ECC creation! (has done this since release) ;)

Also using USB to write completed nand is optional as xeBuild remaps the nand during image creation so Writing nand using Nand-x is perfectly acceptable even on bad block nands! ;)

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

Thanks BraveH - I want people to STOP messing about with bad blocks as they're causing more harm than good. Do I REALLY need to write another sticky on the subject when there's already a wiki for it on the free60.org site?

you know as well as i do, you can write all the noob-proof stickies in the world and you will still get a bunch of guys ignoring it or unable to follow it! :crazy:

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

Hi.
I had a console like this yesterday from a customer.
It would boot to xell but if i installed GGboot using my nand-x then it would not boot, just a black screen with no RROD.
It turns out the LDV values in his original nands was set at 0 when it sould have been 9.
All i did to get round this was to install GGboot from a usb stick using xell and it booted first time.
I then made backups of the nand again after flashing GGboot and the LDV value was at 9 like it should be.

I've edited the title of this thread as it has absolutely nothing to do with J-Runner working or not. The problem (as in most cases) is user error. Yes, J-Runner is stupidly easy to use provided you can do all the rest of the work at a sufficient level and understand the process you're carrying out. There's enough documentation on all of this anyway.

Re: So someone said jrunner was easy

Afternoon all, thanks for your input so far.
Just booted to xell to count the f's in fuse 10 and 11. erm zero f's and a shed load of 0's.

Having said that right at the bottom of my nandflash.bin.log it states
CF LDV : 1
hmmm.

Is it time to start trying to blag a doner nand (love you guys, lol) and substitute in various LDV values somehow?

The more a fark about here the more I'm convinced something catastrophic happened to my nand. My original read was fine, zero bad blocks, this process only got as far as writing ecc before I realised I couldn't glitch to xell.
Then, having connected the blue wire and glitching xell, I restarted the process instead of continuing and recieved a read error 250 at block 4f. This didn't concern me in itself as it clearly states in the ecc log that its remapping the block. But to go from no errors to an error just form blue wire connection?

Sorry to keep bugging you guys with this saga but its really doing me bap in now. TC.

Thanks Martin C, agreed - much btter thread heading.
