reading XENON help

[dragontm]

have a question if my xbox is redlighted (3 reds), can i solder the wires like the picture and still read the nand, the board is xenon?

i soldered the wires nicely, only wires for nandx not the jtag, but when i plug the power supply in now it goes red light on power,

can someone help

One of two:

1. bad soldering

2. Corrupt NAND

Post pictures of your handy work if you could please?

If you could give us your secondary errorcode, that would be helpful too. You very likely made a short somewhere.

i can not even get the xbox on the power block shows red light, before i soldered it went to 3 red lights and the power block was orange and ok, then i did clean solder and it now the block red

Awaiting pictures...

i will add them tonight, however i think i know what i did, most of my solders were clean and nice however the yellow was a little messy, and it looks like the solder touched the hole opersit, i have pulled the yellow wire out, and power supply goes orange again,

When i get back from work i will re do the yellow wire hopefully that will be it

Get rid of the short and you should be ok. Post your results.

ok i have a slight problem,

i have read the NAND,
and compared everything is good.

Now i went to write Xell and it did it correct, then disconnected from pc took it to my tv plugged it all in, but no display showing my cpu key?

This is what i got when i wrote XXELLIOUS

Can anyone help me with this?

It is doing my head in, i have already lost my temper lol with the Jasper one and slung it. (it was knackered anyways, i used it for test soldering only

If your PSU is still red, its no wonder that you dont get your cpu-key on screen... You have been told to post pictures - Why dont you?

Oh, and when you wanna boot Xell, you need the JTAG-wiring soldered in place.

PSU shows orange and ok, the JTAG wires? i am using the kit supplied with the NAND X i will try remove everything using low heat and solder sucker, then start all over again, i can not use photos i have no camerea dont ask me why, but never had one

 

[jfelding]

Lol, then why tell us your gonna add them?
Anyways, not a good idea to remove the qsbs and do it all over, you could break it.

Best thing to do is check points and traces with a multimeter.

You should be getting e79 (1 red ring) if its a bad JTAG install, though. Perhaps it isn't flashed properly or something. Reflash.

And i assume your cb is good?

cb is fine, i have decided that it is the NANDX that is faulty and i have arranged for it to go back, it nolonger reads the Nand and has died

 

[jfelding]

If you powered your console with the nandx in place and connected to the pc, then thats why its faulty...

Pc is no where near the tv, i did not have it connected to the pc.

so it must be faulty, i did not have the nand x plugged in

 

[manwithoutname]

When you connect the NAND-X to the PC now, do both lights (red & orange) light up? And when you can't read or write the NAND does it say 'no device found' or 'could not detect flash controller'?

 

[dragontm]

could not find flash controller

 

[manwithoutname]

Doesn't sound to me like a problem with the NAND-X at all then .. But if you already arranged for a replacement then lets wait till you get your new one.

If the box is rrod before you flash with xell, it's still going to be rrod after. You have a hardware issue.

Before i wrote Xell i fixed the rrod with the XCLAMP replacement and everything booted to the dash.

it is not red now, it just sits there just with the centre light green, it does not boot to show keys or show any kind of dashboard.
