Xell - RGH1.2 Problems.

[Nandcat841]

So,

I wrote the xell image to my xbox.. after that I cannot seem to read or write to the nand.. Soldering is fine any suggestions?

Did you write the write xell, if the smc included is for another console that could cause this issue. Also check the STBY_CLK area. if this is damaged, then it could cause this problem also.

thank you for your response.

I took like 6 NAND dumps before attempting anything.

I created the ECC with the NAND dump wrote it.. xell booted I then put the xebuild image I created on a USB and plugged it into my Xbox.. that finished and asked me to reboot (So I did) and now it won't glitch it just keeps attempting and sometimes red rings. I have checked STBY_CLK and all seems fine.

I will post the log for what it says when I try to read/ write to the NAND when I am home.

but before that any ideas? It's really bugging me as you can probably imagine. Its a £20 console so not the end of the world but would like to fix this.

U had bad blocks

No bad blocks at all.

You didnt unplug the power from the console after writing the nand image. lol. Always unplug console after writing, or else you end up with issues like this. It probably wont help now, as it appears that you probably corrupted the smc. easiest way to fix this that I know of, is to short 2 or 3 of the resistors together next to the nand, while you plug in the console, for about 3 seconds after power has been plugged in. then remove the bridge(Flathead screw driver works great), then try rewriting the nand image.

 

[Nandcat841]

I don't unplug every time after I write and have never experienced this issue. I dont think your claim is totally accurate.

The most likely answer to what went wrong is in the soldering and handling of components while working.

N

Nothing wrong with my soldering mate.

It stopped working after no changes to the soldering.

How is the cool runnder relevent? I'm just trying to be able to read and write to the nand rigght noww

because if u want help here u must show it otherwise no help. Theres rules. Go read them

Actually the coolrunner is not relevant, at this point in the install, as he is asking for help with presumably a nand-x / jr-programmer, which are also TX products. That is like saying we wont help you with a JTAG, because you didnt buy our QSB kit. Reality is, no one ever says that to someone with the same problem that didnt buy the jtag QSB kit. On top of that, on that logic, this forum should be dead, as you can no longer get non clone chips of the coolrunner. Which leave the CR4, and I havnt seen alot of them floating around out there lately either. Most chip manufactures have stopped producing product, their support sites have gone down, and our policy is dont help them, as they didnt buy the proper equipment, as they cant seem to get it anymore. lol. That is laughable. I seriously doubt that the only chips you guys install are TX chips. And if you do, you must have a backlog of them sitting on a shelf, just in case you cant get a console to glitch. lol.

I asked for a pic of the cr to see how its wired up :redface:

Bro.. I have problems with the NAND not the Install.. I cant read or write to the nand

Is the console connected to a power source? Disconnect glitcher then try hitting up the nand read points bottom side of the board see if you get it to read , failing that I would try shorting pins on the nand to get a read , I've only ever had to do this once though and it was on the same trinity that wouldn't read nand from topside of the board. J-Runner auto remaps bad blocks (or at least that's what it does on my rig) , so bad blocks although not impossible are very uncommon to be written back to console when using this programme. Normally when I had bad blocks written to a fat console back when we used Nand Pro it would give me XMas lights and Jet engine fans if image wasn't built correctly and Nand wasn't fully erased before write. Your thick red wire looks like it's bridging 7-9 double check that or just retouch up the point.Hope this helps you.

Auto remapping doesnt always happen with ecc, as they are pre-compiled, and then have the KV injected into them. No remaping done there. Now the image that you create using your nand dump will be remapped.

I was referring to his written image after he booted xell , he said he wrote an Xebuild image to nand and after that he couldn't get it to read or write again. If nothing got damaged and his soldering is correct he should be able to re access his nand.

Thank you for your comment bro, I will detach the chip and then try it if not can you give me a link to the alternate NAND points? really appreciate your help without criticism.

The points are on exactly the same places on the bottom of the board , use a marker next to points just to be certain that you connecting the correct colour wire to the correct point , easy to confuse as locations are either in reverse or upside down when doing it this way. Take your time when doing the soldering and use lots of flux , and be sure to keep your wire ends short as possible and your soldering iron's tip clean.
