XBOX won't boot into XELL (also no green light on Coolrunner).

[kevdotbadger]

Hay all, i have an issue. I've dumped my nand, made a XELL image and flashed that back to the nand, then I continued to install the coolrunner via the diagrams. All my soldering look pretty tidy.

Now I've powered on my xbox but nothing is showing. Do i need to write anything to the coolrunner to get this working? There's no lights on the coolrunner either, but the xbox turns on fine (black screen on both HDMI and composite).

What's the common cause for this? Any solutions?

you must program your coolrunner with impact . then connect it to xbox

 

[kevdotbadger]

Doesn't that require having the CPU key?

Great guide, I missed the flashing of the coolrunner, I have done that now. However, the coolrunner is still not appearing to be on. No lights or anything. Any ideas?

post good clear pic of your install of the coolrunner.

have you checked to see if theres any power to the coolrunner ? has it been programmed properly ? switch in the NORM position

okies, the issue was with one of the solder points (the f**king tiny one near the metal Xs). The coolrunner is now running, theres a constant RED light on and the GREEN is flashing every 7-8 seconds, but no boot.


Any ideas? Oh, and thanks to all those helping, you're all being great.

wait longer to see if it boots.. can take upto couple mins.

 

[kevdotbadger]

Still nothing, it's been on for 10 minutes.

does xell boot with eject?

does xell boot with eject?

just pressing EJECT to power the console on?

 

[kevdotbadger]

Woo, it's working. Must had been that tiny solder again! I've managed to boot into XELL now! Now to get my CPU key and finish my install!

So everything worked! I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to this thread to get my xbox coolrunned.

So....now what? What do i need to read up on to get homebrew working? I have a terabtye drive here, can i attach that via usb to my console and load homebrew from that?

 

[Anobix]

just google up some xexmenu and freestyle dash tutorials and I'm sure you can find all that you need.

and yes, you can load homebrew off of an external drive.

This thread (post) may get you off to a good start
