ok so i bought a box off ebay xenon kernel 6717, the seller said it needed the alternative qsb for e79 kit, i do all my jtags with the boxxdr method.
gets it in the post opens it up and someone has had a right go at with god knows what wattage soldering iron, the only jtag points still useable were j2d2 - 2 and j1f1 - 3 and 4 seeing as i was going to need to use the alternative points i thought id ditch the transistor method and use the conventional diodes 1n4148 (or whatever they were, used them before).
so i have done the alternative points as per xmods guide, installed the diodes etc install xell and get e79 tried xellous still e79, changed to the 3 resistor method same problem.
ive metered all the alternatives point, scraped traces with my fibreglass pen all good continuity.
if i flash original nand back it boots just fine, should it do this with jtag wires in place? i thought not, which would point to poor wiring, im no expert at soldering but ive done a few of these now without issues
i use jtag tool latest version to read and write nand and nand healer to check for exploitable kernel and bad blocks (none)
what else could i try, i know you have all heard it before but my soldering meters out fine, so im confused, ive already got a buyer for this console so need to get it done and shipped.
thanks
scott
