Just a quick question - i don't want to mess things up and this is my first attempt :)

I've just updated a Falcon running a 5xxx dash with JTAG to run freeboot. however, a lot of people seem to think that it's better to start at 7371 before it's installed.

As it's good practice for me, i was thinking of removing freeboot, flashing the original NAND image back, then upgrading it to 7371, then reflashing freeboot back. Is this the right method, or will i need to go through the whole process again once i've flashed 7371 - or is it as simple as disabling the JTAG, flashing 7371 straight on then starting again?

A step by step would be a great help.....Thanks in advance guys :D

You need to reflash the original nand back to the xbox.

Undo the efuse protection if you have it.

update the dash to 7371

Dump the nand again three/four times and compare.

compile a new freeboot image from the nand dumps

Redo the efuse protection

if it's working and running fine and not broke don't touch it use it as a learning for future consoles

thanks for the advice guys, appreciated! Just a point - when you mention efuse protection, i take you mean reconnecting and disconnecting the efuse?
