Xell Problems

[darrenp76]

Hi all, I've been at this for a few days and I'm at my wits end, so hopefully someone can kindly help.

Basically, I cannot get my 360 to boot into xell. The Coolrunner just has a red light on the whole time when I boot. The 360 ring just has the green light in the middle on. I've triple checked all my soldering connections and they are solid.

This is my hardware:
Slim QSB
Coolrunner
NAND-x
Ck3i
NANDx to Coolrunner Cable
Ck3i to NANDx cable

I had a v2 Nandx that I updated with my CK3i. I soldered the QSB and read the nand 2x with Jtag tool and they matched. I created the ecc file and flashed to the 360 with Jtag tool.

Then, I programmed the Coolrunner with Nandpro3.0. Every process read that it was completed successfully. It was programmed in prog mode and it is in slim mode.

One thing I did notice is when I plugged in the Coolrunner to Nandx, it had the green and red light on. When it finished programming it only showed a red light.

Any help is much appreciated

Hi mate, sounds very similar to my problem i had, the cool runner had a red light but no green light flashing .. i found that i had a dodgy connection on the blue wire .. i thought my connections were solid but i found out it wasnt.. Dont give up just recheck the wires .. I was at my wits end and i checked my wires time and time again. Last night i thought id try one more time and cracked it ..

to eliminate your soldering try using Multibuild 0.3 to create ecc file and flash nand again....

I just did this and it is still doing the same thing. So that means it's definately a wire problem? Is it possible the Coolrunner didn't get programmed properly?

I'm going to redo the blue wire right now.

Thanks

if you got a succeded meesage after programming and the smaller green led went out then the cool runner is programmed, with the relevant .jed file, stating the obvious but you did use the trinity file for the Cool runner? If so then I would start by looking at the orange wire (STDBY-CLK)

Thanks for the reply. Yes, that's exactly what I did. However, I just noticed there is a Trinity1.1.xsvf and jed files in the folder aswell as the regular Trinity.xsvf and jed. Was I supposed to use the 1.1 files?
