Not great quality im afraid.

Description of problem:
First time soldering here so I thought I'd test it on an old Xenon with an E74 error. Keep getting the same bad block each time. Is this because of bad connection on my solder points? Is it problematic? I've reassembled the Xbox back together and it still gives me the E74 error so it would appear I havent fried the motherboard.

Was the console working before you started: No E74

EDIT :

I'm doing this in a VM on a Macbook Air running Parallels if that makes a difference.

An E74 error possibly relates to a GPU chip problem.

If im reading your OP correct this was allready the problem before you fitted the Nand X which may relate to the bad blocks.

you may allready know this but try here.

well...i read somewhere that E74 error shouldnt affect the firmware on the motherboard and therefore shouldnt affect dumping of the nand.

 

[Threpwhistle]

Not to sure of that. May be one of the other members on here will answer that for you.

u just have a bad block it happens that is what remapping is all about

separate issue u have rrod get that fixed before doing anything hack-wise

 

[BL4K3Y]

Bad blocks are quite normal and as long as the same bad block(s) is reported in each dump, it is fine to proceed.

J-Runner will take care of any bad blocks.

Just FYI, you can read the NAND from a RROD console.

On a side note, why aren't you using the latest version of J-Runner?

You can dump the NAND from a board missing both GPU and CPU, FWIW.

Thanks for responses

On a side note, why aren't you using the latest version of J-Runner?

I was just testing out ability or inability to solder hence doing it on an e74 console and it didnt seem too important at the time
