XBR3 to freeBOOT 0.4 E71 Bad Blocks HELP?

[wou9900]

Hello, I have the same problem I guess. That is why I tried everything that is mentioned in this thread. But my luck runs out every time and I'm not able to get my Xbox360 to freeboot with dash 12611.

I did a JTAG hack myself back in Februari of this year together with XBR3 on dash 8955.
That worked for me until now. But I want to update to 12611 with Freeboot.
The threads on the internet are numerous and I have tried a lot of things.

I first did a Xell boot to take a photo of my CPU-key. Thank god I saved the seven NAND-dumps from Februari so I had my original NAND available.
Next with it I have my XBR NAND which I loaded there aswell.

I used two programs to try to make a new NAND to load via Flash360 and Xell (if the flash went wrong).

Program number one was freeBoot toolbox maker 0.04 v2.6.
With that I used my original NAND and the CPU-key. It made a updflash.bin file that I put on my USB stick together with Flash360.xex
I loaded Flash360.xex and it updated. After a powercycle I saw a glimpse of the new splashscreen directly followed by a E71 errorpage and a blinking lower-right redlight.

When I reloaded my XBR-NAND image, it was back to normal again, so that one works.

Program number two I tried was "Easy Freeboot 12611" with the same ingrediënts. Still the same endresult so I flashed back my XBR-NAND image.

Because I knew I had 5 bad blocks in my three 100% identical NAND-dumps from Februari, I tried to remap them with Nandpro after making a fresh updflash.bin file with Freeboot, as follows:

nandpro Updflash.bin: -r16 75.bin 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -r16 146.bin 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -r16 150.bin 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -r16 189.bin 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -r16 1C6.bin 1

nandpro Updflash.bin: -w16 1C6.bin 3FB 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -w16 189.bin 3FC 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -w16 150.bin 3FD 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -w16 146.bin 3FE 1
nandpro Updflash.bin: -w16 75.bin 3FF 1

When I flashed that Updflash.bin file, the same story occured again.
I finally tried to do a 100% straight forward image and I saw Xell remapping the blocks that were bad. So why is it not working for me.
I don't know what to do anymore, so can somebody please help me out on this one ?

My Xbox is a Xenon 16MB Premium (White).
The original NAND said it was CB 1921 (I believe).



After that Updflash.bin

I then tried the following

You are remapping the blocks the wrong way and start your own thread. Load your original nand dump into degrader or 360 flash tools and get a print screen with all the bad blocks and post it in your new thread, I'll show you how to create freeboot and get it working from there.

I'm very sorry about the creating my own thread. I thought it was better to continu in an existing one because my problem is the (almost) same.

Let me try to get the bad block screen dump.

I've made a screendump from 360FlashTool and attached it.

I hope it helps.

Create a 9199 freeboot image from your original NAND dump using your prefered tool, preferably Jtag tool 1.74.

Once you have your 9199 freeboot.bin image, extract the bad blocks using nandpro using the following commands:

nandpro freeboot.bin: -r16 75.bin 75 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -r16 146.bin 146 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -r16 150.bin 150 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -r16 1B9.bin 1B9 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -r16 1C6.bin 1C6 1

Once you extracted all the blocks, you need to remap them into the freeboot.bin image using the commands below:

nandpro freeboot.bin: -w16 75.bin 3FF 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -w16 146.bin 3FE 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -w16 150.bin 3FD 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -w16 1B9.bin 3FC 1
nandpro freeboot.bin: -w16 1c6.bin 3FB 1

When done, flash the freeboot.bin to your console either using the NAND-X or as updflash.bin via xell.

At this stage you should have a console that boots normally into freeboot dash 9199. If all goes well, dump the freeboot image from your NAND either using the NAND-X or via flash360 tool.

Next, use jtag tool v2.12 to create 12611 dash by using your dumped freeboot as a source. Flash the new 12611 image to your console either using NAND-X or again via flash360.

End result you should have a xenon with 12611 kinect dash. In theory you should be able to create this dash from 9199 image created earlier without flashing it to the console/booting and then dumping it, but this way you will have a stable image.

Moved to own thread. Don't clog older threads with (comparatively) newer problems.

I did exactly what you did and it turned out to work for the 9199 dash. After that it went wrong. The dump from my NAND after updating to 9199 once again had the 5 bad blocks in the same places as my 8955 dash dump.

So what I finally did was to make the 12611 freeboot.bin file and once again used nandpro to move the bad blocks. When that was finished I flashed the NAND with the freeboot.bin file as updflash.bin file and it worked.

You may call me the happiest Xbox360 user at this moment. Thank you very very much for your time and effort.

Glad it worked out for you, now feel free to use the usual button:

Wow, that's a BIG THANKS button Does it also come in even bigger sizes?
