So I installed RGH2.0 on a Falcon updated to 14719 the night it was released. was going to wait for J-Runner cause I'm lazy and hate scripts, But I got bored so I made the Xell image and wrote with NandPro 3.0. I flashed the coolrunner with the new files using Coolshrimp's Coolrunner Programmer by replacing the files in the directory.

Well anyways, when it goes to glitch the debug LED flashes every 5 seconds, but it stays on for longer than normal. Before I flashed Xell I tried to "Glitch" into stock for the lulz and the debug LED wound flash every 5 seconds, but very dim and fast. It would boot stock no problem with the CR in program mode.

Not sure what the problem is, More-in-likely D. lol, just a odd problem I have ran into so I came here for support:)

Have you done many RGH installs before?

This is my 50th or so install. I've only had trouble with 5 I think. and 2 of those were Zephyrs. lol

I have worked backwards to trouble shoot, tested all points, just about everything I can think of. As you can see from the pictures, my soldering isn't bad at all.

Is there any suggestions you can give? I will be ordering the 50ohm coax cable from X-Consoles if I can't get this to work.

Edit: And I moved point D to the top of the board, still same results.

The console should still boot with the CR set to NOR with the stock NAND in place. If the behaviour of the CR isn't what you expect (flash every 4-5 secs and staying on for about .75 secs), then it's your wiring.

Post a pic of the layout.

Why do you have the coolrunner programmer cable still connected?

Because I was trying all the program files over and over again. It's not connected to the Nand-X, so I don't see how that would be a problem at all. I've booted other consoles with it connected before.
