Hi,

I'm reusing a slim DemoN from taken from a dead Xbox that won't power on. Before this DemoN was installed on the now dead machine, I used DemoN Toolbox to flash it to 1.04 as well as read/write a sample NAND.

Before reusing it, I'm doing some sanity checks to see if the DemoN is still good to use on another machine. From the Windows perspective, the DemoN looks fine in device manager when connected to the micro USB and the switch set to PC. But when I open up DemoN Toolbox, the status says 'not connected'. However, the DemoN works in J-Runner as I could read/write NAND on the micro USB with no issues.

I suspect that the firmware 1.04 isn't compatible with DemoN Toolbox 1.01, however I see no mention of this in the forums. I just want to verify if this DemoN is 100% before I install it on another machine and this behavior raised some doubts. Can someone check if a DemoN on 1.04 works with DemoN Toolbox? Should I still reuse this DemoN?

phat demon jrunner.jpgphat demon toolbox.jpgI just installed a phat demon. It was on 1.0 firmware which the DemoN Toolbox was able to see. After flashing to 1.04, DemoN Toolbox no longer recognized it but Jrunner could. You could do everything in Jrunner so DemoN Toolbox doesn't matter. It's strange that you were able to see the DemoN still (basing off of my experience).

So the bottom line is DemoN Toolbox should not be used with a 1.04 DemoN. It helps to know as there is no mention of this.

Whats the advantage of upgrading ur demon from 1.0 to 1.4. I have a demon on 1.0 in my slim but im a bit apprehensive to upgrade in case it stops working or malfunctions after reading a few threads on here. Is it fine to stay on 1.0

Is the compatibility thing a Phat Demon thing only? as my Slim Demon on 1.04 works with the toolbox?

I have both the Slim and Phat DemoNs. Both were seen by the toolbox on 1.0 and both were only seen by Jrunner after the 1.04 upgrade. Seems that some users report that toolbox can see the 1.04 DemoN. Xecuter response is that 1.04 isn't compatible with the current version of toolbox.
