Console Type: (Zephyr/Falcon/Opus/Jasper)
NAND size: 16/256/512
Dashboard version: 2.0.16203
CB version: 5774
Screenshot of NAND details from J-Runner:



PS: It says writting nad because i tred to see if it was maybe my xell image so i wrote back the OG nand and tryed to make a new Xell image that didnt work though.
J-Runner log:

POST output from J-Runner: didnt think this was needed since there is not even a green light. I can get one though if needed.
updflash.bin log (if applicable): Dont have one not sure how to get one either
Image of R-JTAG board:


I think the soldering is fine a little dirty because i couldnt clean up all the flux in the tight spaces but everyt hing is good other than the little bit of solder i got on that metal plate thing.
Images of close-up soldering to motherboard:











so i have been looking and i think that 2nd to last post point on the right may be the problem it looks like i messed up the pad a little bit.





Description of problem:
So i did a Kynar wire install with this new R-JTAG and i installed everything like normal everything seemed to be working fine and going right and after i created the Xell Image and wrote it i unplugged my JR-Programmer like normal and plugged in the console to get my CPUKey and as i turned on the console nothing happened the light just blinked and there was a red LED and thats it no green flashes what so ever, this is not my first install so i thought this was very weird so i tried both CPU_RST points and neither worked i also tryed writting back the OG nand and it worked fine so i tried creating another xell image to see if that was the problem and no change i really need help because i would love to buy many more R-JTAGs for my other consoles (i buy RROD consoles and fix them so i have like 12 consoles) also i have 2 R-JTAG boards and i try'd the other and that one did not work either so please help me :).

Was the console working before you started: Y/N


UPDATE: With CPU_RST and RATER
WHENi hit post 80 i got 3 RROD

you havent posted a picture of the cpu_rst point, also since you used the same color for all the wires we cant tell where they are actually going to.

Maybe you should have posted pictures with it connected, if you dont want people thinking it is something stupid like that.

Where is the rater log? it is quite help full in diagnosing what the problem may be. I will also say that I had a falcon I couldnt get to glitch with any chip, Coolrunner or R-Jtag, but it would boot stock. It always failed at A0 on every dip. Since i dont have an IR table for reflows, I never did get it working correctly, I just took every thing out, which was hard with the qsbs, and sold it to the pawn shop for like 20$.

The post log looks faulty, and the fact that you nearly drowned your oscillator with solder makes the alarm go off. Measure it and make sure that is still working, and resolder the post QSB and post a new post-log.

I agree, definately a problem with POST qsb. Also there is too much exposed wire on some of your wires, this needs to be shortened as CPU_RST looks like it is lying across the point next to it. Why are u using different wires for 5v and GND, there are thicker wires supplied with the kit. Also clean up with lots of IPA.

POST is completely wrong.

That is the main issue here. That and after looking at those fish-eye images, I feel like I'm tripping.

The stock NAND should still give you good POST. Desolder D, E and F. Then boot the stock NAND and run POST monitor to capture.

That's not POST monitor - that's RATER. The output is the same. Therefore you have an issue with the connectivity somewhere. Use a multimeter to check continuity from the POST_OUT pads on the POST QSB and back to the R-JTAG (labelled 'I') in the corner of the chip.

Next, check resistance between these pads and GND, one at a time. Set your meter to 100kohm range for this.

Basically until you find out what part of your setup is wrong, nothing is going to work.

Try trimming the green and blue wire and resoldering them.
Its hard to tell but they look kinda funny to me.

As long as his post output is wrong that isnt going to help, did you not read the thread before starting to post here?
