I haven't tried to install a printer driver but would it help?
I tried 3 different PCs so I'd be surprised if they all had bad lpt ports
I tested the voltages coming from pins 2 - 9 and on one PC it was 4.7v and another was 3.3v.
I have tried 2 different lpt plugs and I also test voltages coming from the lpt port at the solder points on the back of the plug so I assume it is making good contact.
I am really out of ideas. Unless there is an issue with my switching diode, is it easy to blow these things? Maybe I should try another.

I haven't had issues and had to install the driver, but people have said installing the driver helped with bad block checks. So it could possibly help NandPro detect the flash controller.

I only have two ideas of what your problem could be: (1) the pins on your DB25 coming from your 360 are bent and not making good connections to the PC (as has happened to me) or (2) you've soldered the wrong pins/points on your motherboard or have resistors/diodes of the wrong type or on the wrong connections. That's all I've got. I can't imagine anything else could cause it.

Could you take some pics of your setup, including the pins of the DB25 plug you're using and a shot showing the wires running from that to the motherboard, and post them on here? That would for sure rule out any hardware errors if there are none.

can someone enlighten me as to if xell is the same as xen*n_hack.b@n as i have read the nand many times without any problems yet when i write the xenon file i just get 3 red lights no blue screen and im usin the vga mod, much appreciated.

Question, is the IC being JTAG the hynix?  If so, can you just pull the IC then read and write to it via an IC programmer?  

Thanks

without realizing at 1st, I soldered the wires backwards on the lpt plug as if the picture was showing the pins.  Is my nand fried?  I redid everything correctly and nandpro will not detect the nand.  I tried everything, w/ and w/o transitors, w and w/o diode.  I was able to read a different xbox without any problems, so I know its not the computer.  I tested J1D1 voltage and seems to be fine.  The xbox boots to the dashboard.  Is there any way to know for sure if I fried something?  Maybe some additional traces I can test?  Also, pc has 5v on the lpt.

If it boots to the dashoboard your fine
Also right now I have the same error "cannot detect flash controler" I suck at soldering but all my joints seem fine, I shortend my cable, messed with bios settings nothing works its driving me crazy.

This is a RROD mobo, but I want to see if I can salvage the kv..

Hello, i'm currently trying to recover my xenon board, i've flashed the hacked version of the nand and got my cpu key, then recovered my lost dvd key and flashed back the original nand bin into the nand, the bin of the original nand is good, tested using degraded1.1(and checked against some other good dumps), the problem here is that before starting to flash back the original nand bin i've removed the 3 330ohm resistors, are they really needed to write bin into a nand or they're just needed to xecute the hacked xenon firmware? Becoz i now got a rrod board!
Thanx in advance!

I used thicker wires and a shorter lpt cable and finally was able to get it detected, only now its throwing all these error reading block 0 and it errors on all of the blocks

Edit, I think its going to work this time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) it read them out perfectly

Thanks for the info.  Ill keep on messing with it.

Ok flashed nand with xenon_hack.bin and got e79 error when booting xbox.  Next flashed nand with a different nand I believe xell update anyways it was a full size nand and towards the end of flashing nandpro started giving me errors and didnt finish the flash....now xbox wont boot and cannot detect flash port for reflash help....

hi, i recently got all my soders done and i hooked up everything but i have an issue with nandpro, for some reason when i execute the program the dos screen only shows up for hardly a sec before disappearing, did i do something wrong with my sodering or hooking up my 360?

If yr executing the nandpro2.exe by double clicking it you will get that problem.
You need to open a CMD prompt window as specified in the Original post in this thread.

HEY..

i got the LPC-H218 and this SERIAL PROGRAMMER

i cant program it with the hex file..

i made the bridge wire.. i connected the other 4 wires..

i cant get flash magic to read device signature with or without the usb connected

it gives me autobaud error..

any help would be greatly appreciated..  thanks

1. Make sure you have the clock setting value from the crystal.
2. Try the Rx and Tx round the other way.

Failing all of that, I wrote a guide on how to do this with a cheap JTAG Wiggler clone without all the messing around of soldering bridges:

hello im about to try this tomorrow.

ive been following this guide, but i noticed that its a few months old and theres a couple others out there with different diodes and stuff, which i dont know nothing about to begin with.

anyway. i got just about everything wired up, but i thought i read somewhere i needed a switching diode? i dont see any in this diagram. but i bought them so i remember somthing saying i needed them.

anyway is this guide still good? or should i be following a more up too date one? do i need these switching diodes? if so where do they go?

im not very experienced im just matching the colored dots in the picture.

thanks

i was wondering the same thing, im thinking about ripping into it tomorrow so please lets get an update!
