JTAG Xenon Jtag Kit For over a year now getting E79.

[rustynuts007]

Hey guys.

First of all sorry if i waffle on to much, i will eventually get to the point lol

I have a Xenon 6717 dashboard xbox that i jtagged just over a year ago now. Alls been fine and well untill today when my son asked if he could play on it.

Im using the Nand X kit. With Nandpro_20d Software to flash.

Turned it on and got E79 Error. Searched on internet and found out it had something to do with the HDD, removed it and still got the error. So did some more researching and read it could be due to bad Nand Flash or Soldering.

I did the usual.

Put Nand back to stock and tested. Booted straight into Dashboard. So i went ahead and flashed my XBR.bin back onto the Nand, booted it up and greeted by E79 again.

So i checked my soldering. It looked fine but i thought bugger it and de soldered all my QSB's, removed them cleaned the old stuff off and reapplyed them.

Turned it on and again E79.

Took a bump of my Nand to see if that was working ok and i can read and write to the nand, so i know that part of the process is fine.

Took a closer look at the Jtag QSB's.

JTAG J1F1 QSB was seated nicely and the solder was clean but JTAG J2D2 QSB didnt look right. So i removed it again and reseated it, but when i was resoldering the QSB i left the iron on too long and burnt into the QSB removing all the solder in which the board bonds to the motherboard with.

So i now cant get a connection. :facepalm:

My question to the Pro's is.

Should i just but the replacement kit as it worked great for over a year or should i buy the E79 kit since thats now the error im getting??

Thanks in advance.

Just buy the replacement kit as it was working for the longest time. Was it doing e79 everytime it booted. If u wanted u can do the alt points as that fixes e79 problems if its a stubborn one

Thanks for the quick reply..

Everytime i used my xbr.bin i was greeted with E79.

Evertime i used my Orig.bin it booted into the Blade Dashboard.

In regards to the Alt points, ill have a read up on them and maybe use it as a last resort. I will order my replacement part first as i know what im doing with them, and im fairly confident fitting them.

Again thanks for the quick reply. Id have usually just gone ahead and ordered the part but reading so many threads today about E79 i wasnt 100% sure.

Thanks.

E79 might also be a dashboard Error. Maybe somehow your Jtag image got corrupt. Recreate it and write it using rawflash

How can you be so sure this is his case?

cause his original dump is working !

 

[FastFile]

I would order the kit.....

easiest option.

Chhers

 

[rustynuts007]

Yes indeed my original dump is working. And to be safe after restoring the original dump i created new dumps and tried those but they didnt work either. So i know the .bins are fine..

Iv already ordered replacememnt JTAG J1F1 QSB & JTAG J2D2 QSB same ones as i had before as instructed by Sick360mods. They are only £5.99 for the kit if they fail to bring it back to life then ill also buy the E79 ones.

Im hoping it wont come to that as i said before its been working fine for little over a year without any troubles..

Thanks for your replys guys.

Take it easy man I had the same issue E79 but with a slim and when I wrote my original NAND it was working, then I recreated the RGH image and wrote it back it solved the problem.

Anyway rustynuts007 already mentioned he tried to recreate images and it didn't work

Slim's are different!

it's Jtag not RGH ..

tx has made this product for this types of error(E79)

This is the JTAG kit that is used for people who get E79 errors. This kit installs to the top of the motherboard.
Works with all Xenon motherboards.

Sorry that might have been bad wording on my behalf. You seem to have misunderstood me.

I can create new images perfectly fine. I can successfully read and wright the nand, but i get the E79 Error when booting anything other than Original dump.

The Nand part of the Jtag is fine, its the Actual Jtag hack thats failed.. (SMC is it also known as? )

you just need Xecuter Xenon JTAG Kit E79 installed on your console and hopefully you will be sorted !

As the rules now state, please supply images of your soldering.

Just a quick question on the error im actually getting and the E79 kit..

I was under the impression that some xenon's needed the E79 kit due to the standard jtag kit not working with a xenon. Where as some Xenon's worked perfectly fine with the standard kits.

Now wouldnt i have needed the E79 Kit instead of the standard one over a year ago when i first jtagged the xbox or is the E79 abit like the RROD where it Can come at any time and bite you on the ass.?

The only picture i can supply is the ones of the Nand QSB as the actual Jtag ones have been removed due to be buggering one of them up. Hence my question on which QSB kit i should buy.

If it has been working and now gives you E79, chances are the GPU needs a reflow. Seen this half a dozen times already.

Confirm by checking the resistance of J2D2.1 and J2D2.2. Should both be at 1.5k.

Ill have to borrow a multimeter off someone tomorrow. Ill port up the readings then.

Thanks for the reply.

BTW just to update on the choice of replacement kit i should buy..

Iv emailed the company i ordered the kit from and ask them to swap the kit over to the E79 one. They are the same price and with it been weekend my order hadnt been processed so fingers crossed they will just swap the items before delivery..

 

[Martin C]

don't buy any replacement kit yet. Check those points first.

 

[rustynuts007]

Right checked the points and

J2D2.1 is getting 1.55 and J2D2.2 is getting nothing. Under closer inspection it seems iv buggered up the point, not getting a read from either top side or bottom side of it.

Is the R2E4 Resistor the only Alt point for the xenon board? Iv had a google about but i cant seem to find any more info.

Thanks

Pictures of the damage are needed to assist.
