Hello Everyone,
Product Used : CR3 Lite
Console Type: Jasper
NAND Size: 256Mb
Dashboard Version: 2.0.16547
CB Version: 6754

Description of Problem:
Console Boots to Xell without a problem. Altough when I install Freebot it Freezes at Intro Logo.
- Removed coolrunner, cleaned solder points and installed Retail band - same happens (2 64mb Matching Dumps)
- Tried with donor Nand - same happens.
I know the problem is not the chip.
It might be some configuration, although I have hundreds of xboxs done and never had this problem.
It can be a hardware problem, although in this case shell shouldn't work,
or a nand problem, but I tried everything I can remember Nand related.
Do you Guys Have any suggestion?

Was the console working before you started: Yes

Do you get a green debug light appear on the RGH chip every 4-5 seconds: Yes
How Long is the light on for each time: 1 second

you forgot the pics of install boss. Freezing usually cause the placement of wirings and/or not perfect soldering of wires. Check also no wires are being pressed or flatten.

Oh and you said freezes on retail dash? maybe need reflow then...

Yes, I know that, that's why I desoldered coolrunner and tested the retail band. The better way to troubleshoot these things.
I didn't took pictures because right now I don't have coolrunner installed. This is completely secondary, since it freezes with retail nand.
I tought about GPU problems, but it would be very strange displaying xell without a problem and freezing in xbox logo.
The main goal is getting it to work as original again. The RGH is not the problem.

Freezing can be caused by bad blocks in the image.

Post images of your install and a full J-Runner log please (wrap the log in CODE tags).
hello Bla4k3y,
yes, but the nands match perfectly. I opened them on nand healer, everything looks perfect.
Tried with a donor nand, in case of the possibility of bad blocks or something like that, but it also freezes.
When I say I tried with donor nand I mean "Retail mode", not with RGH, not with coolrunner. Hope I can make understand myself.

xell takes almost nothing from a gpu,even an e74,(which we know needs a new gpu) can display xell fine.so dont rule out the xcgpu here,im sure thats what it is in fact

That crossed my mind, but I can't understand why. Everything went normal during the modification, and jaspers aren't known for random breaks.

In that case maybe it's better to start thinking about buying a new xbox for the client

Unfortunately I don't have them anymore. I tried doing it in some many ways the logs were overwritten several times.
I know I have 2 good dumps, and in case something went wrong with the reading, the symptoms using donor nands would be different.
It wouldn't freeze at logo as it does either with retail or donor nand.

This is a 256Mb band. Can I replace it with a normal 16Mb? I have a lot of those laying around
