Hi, i've so far tried 2 Zephyrs and 1 BB Jasper 512 and none of them successfully reset glitched. I soldered everything perfect, got the nand to read and got xell running to get cpu keys and such. But all the time after I put freeboot on and tried to reset glitch hack using the Jtag tool nothing comes up. Am I doing something wrong? It seems like everything should be right if Xell worked correct? Any help would be appreciated as I am confused why this doesn't work.

Zephyr consoles are hit and miss with the reset glitch but with regards to the Jasper issue, have a read here.

It seems that soldering a cap across GND and PLL_BYPASS allows it to boot. Also as Rock said, check your CB as Jaspers with a CB of 6752 cannot be glitched at present.

Looks like I have horrible luck with the Zephyrs then lol. Umm I think I'll have to re-read the nand from the Jasper to get the CB, get it off that right? Most likely it is the non-exploitable then, damn lol. Thanks for info, i'll have to possibly buy me a Slim and reset glitch it then as I fried my Falcon and no longer have it.

I'm having bad zephyr luck too:

So far:

Successful:
3 slim trinitys
3 falcons
1 jasper 16mb

Unsuccessful:

2 zephyr - same boat, can see xell and get cpu key but when freeboot is installed... no glitching occurs. Have even tried capacitors and no dice.

Hi!!

Bad luck here with a zephyr 4578 here.

I don't even manage to run xell and get the CPU key.

The installation is double-checked, the cpld programming is double-checked and the hacked nand with xell is double checked.

The thing I notice is that the xbox green light doesn't blink when i power the console (the CPLD led blink every 5 second and i hear the fans changing speed so i think the installation may be good). I have not connected the drive in so i look for the xbox green led to blink till the xell run.

I don't know why this occurs and am totally desperate.

At least, if i desolder everything and flash the original Nand it goes back to normal.

Any help?

Thank you all.

I've been trying a Zephyr on and off for a week now.
Perfect Green light blinking every couple of secs, never goes to Xell. A complete PITA.

I have done 2 Falcons without a problem, now I got a Zephyr with random booting. Cap fix helped a little bit, but xbox is still not booting every time.

need to find correct timing for each HW revision of zephyrs.

one distinguishing factor is the tx coolrunner switch "PHAT" and "SLIM" if switched to slim it will attempt to glitch whereas in phat it may not. i believe there are 3, maybe 4 revs. There is 1 that is consistently fine step-by-step works, 1 that is 30 sec - 5 min inconsistent, 1 that will every once in a while boot, and 1 that will not.
