ANSWERED Red and green lights at the same time

[Djirko]

Hello.
Im trying my first RGH. I dont have any problems with soldering, so thats why i tried to give a shot. The thing is that i didint bought qsb kit, so i soldered wires. First i soldered Nand-x, read the nands ( 3 of them, all of them were same ), after that wrote .ecc. Then i shut down my console and soldered my coolrunner. I didnt desoldered nand-x yet, just unplugged the cable from it. When i put the power cable to console back, coolrunner shows both lights, green and red at the same time. I tried to boot up, but nothing happened. What went wrong?

did you program the coolrunner before installing it?

 

[Djirko]

Yeah, missed this point. Watched a Xecuter Coolrunner install guid on youtube and didnt hear when the guy said, that programing coolrunner is another video (guide). Watched it over again and found when it was mentioned. Going to program coolrunner. Thanks.
Dumb mistake

make sure that your console is not pluged into the wall if you plan to program while installed. you are supposed to program it before installing it.

 

[Djirko]

Yes, i was aware of that and didnt plug the power. The console is completely off now and i already connected nandx to coolrunner. Both with lights, continuing to look the tutorial and finish programing.

 

[Djirko]

Programmed coolrunner, it booted almost instantly 1-2sec Thank you. I was afraid i did something wrong.

Happy days!

Thanks, but have another problem. When creating freeboot image it says that no frct.bin found in this nand. Anyway it continues when i press enter and creating freeboot image. Should i use it or not?

Maybe its because of one faulty block in that nand? I read tutorial, that if i will insert freebot to usb flash drive and boot with xell, it will automatically install fb and remapo those blocks.

Anyway i used that freeboot image and put it in usb flash drive with rawflash. Everything installed with strange error in the end ( dont remember , something about blocks). Anyway last line was that everything installed, please shut down. After that my console successfully loded freeboot. Just want to know if i will not have any future problems because of that "no frct.bin" error. Or should i redo all the steps ( write nand and etc. ).

It's ok for fcrt not to be there and raw flash will have remapped the bad block you did everything correct and you won't have any probs

The error in rawflash is because you're probably using v3 which comes with multi_builder. Download v4 and use that to reflash, if it makes you feel any better.

Glad you got sorted tho - one piece of advice: Be wary about youtube videos. Unless you see it linked on this site by a mod, do NOT use it. We have approved guides on here to follow.

Is there any difference if i will reflash it or leave it as it is? Thats the point.
About the videos, at first i always try to find info in your forums. It was just my mistake, lack of sleep. I wasnt concentrated.
Anyway its nice that here are so many helpful people

As long as you're not having any issues, then leave as is.

If you experience any anomalies, then a reflash would be the first thing to try.
