how did you short the pints on the nand?  Which ones did you do?

Use a flathead screwdriver, be very gentle and connect at most either the bottom 9 or top 8 pins on the right side of the HYNIX, as they are the data lines. Image shamelessly stolen from the NAND Write-Protect hack X-S post:



You can see the four lines on the top and bottom in the actual image, and then the power-related lines in the middle. Don't touch the power lines!!

Hello everyone.

I also got the "Could not detect a flash controller" message everytime I tried to read/write my console, even though I had followed every guide I could find on the subject. I eventually got success by connecting everything up as normal (console supply and interface plugged into the parallel port), shorting the data pins (41 - 44) and then sending the read command while the pins were still shorted out. As soon as I done this Nandpro worked immediately, at which point I removed the short on the pins.
Just as a test I got out a second box and hooked it up the same way and tried to read/write but once again I got the "Could not detect a flash controller" message. I then proceeded to short out data pins 41 - 44 and while keeping the short in place, sent the Nandpro command. Once again nandpro started working and began dumping.

I'm not sure if this is just something unique to my setup but it would not do any harm for everyone that is having problems to try this. If it does not work with data pins 41 - 44 then try the same procedure on pins 29 - 32.



Regards to all,

Am currently succesfully dumping my 4th box now - it is my experience so far that once you get the config correct for one that they are all the same (as far as resistors, 100, 33, 47, etc...)  I have only done Xenon boards so far so cannot vouch for other boards.  Patience and a steady hand is key!!!!!

[AZImmortal]

Can anyone else confirm having success with the pin shorting method?  I might have to try it this weekend.  I had no problems dumping my Xenon but for the life of me couldn't get my Jasper working.  I'm almost done with building a USB reader but I might try again with LPT + pin shorting.

[biscoito]

I can't get mine to work either, are they planning a nandpro 3.0 any time soon ? Has anybody have any success with the shorting thing ? And what is the best place to short it ?

Same boat,  have a Xenon that I cannot get nandpro to connect to.  Did the resistors, no resistors,  diodes, flipped diodes, set mt LPT port to Standard and still nothing,  Then I swapped out the system to another and still nothing... Packed it in for the night after spending 4 hours on it.   Anyone know what the trick is to get the Xenon board to dump?  Is the LPT wiring the same on all boards?  cause I was following the guide on making the 'Simple Db-25/Cat Lpt dump cable,  the one where you use the joiner thats mounted into the case....

[Ruby Danger]

Man - 4th box I am dumpng has over 1200 mismatches between the dumps - have dumped it about 8 times now and still cannot get it down to a comparable fix for reconstruction...  Kind of frustrating how "different" every box and dump is but if it was easy - everyone would be doing it huh??

Anyone find any tricks on this issue yet?

[Ruby Danger]

Double post FTW -

Might sound silly but I fixed my problem.  I was having no luck get 2 dumps to even come close to each other - over 1000 non-matching blocks.  Here is how I fixed it

I realized we had used 2 different CAT5 cables, 1 end to make the lpt and one end to the mobo.  We actually made numerous versions of the cables but on the machine I was trying to dump, I had 2 different ends, so I used ends from the same cable and matched 100%.  Go figure

[kwalsh24]

Well I managed to get my system to read error free till the 03** marker then i get read errors gallor,  anyone else experience this?

[kwalsh24]

Hmm okay I may have resolved the issue after multiple tinkers and various attempts... so fat so good,  just one Error:250 reading block 273 but from the guide I am following it sounds like its a false error...

[hetster]

i am in the same boat as well  
i wired everything up and checked and double checked wiring with a multimeter and everything seems fine.
as this is my first attempt at dumping / jtagging nand i am just making sure i havent missed amything out.

i have a xenon board and used the revised jtaging points using the bridge and 2 switching diodes.
i have wired the lpt up the same as every guide out there with 100ohm 1/4 resistors..the total length is approx 1 foot maybe very slightly over. with the reistors i continualy get Could not detect a flash controller!. so i attached a diode to pin 11 at the lpt end with the black ring facing towards the 360 and away from lpt and again got Could not detect a flash controller!. so i removed all the resistors and diode and got it to start to dump but got read errors every step of the way from 0 onwards..so i added the diode back and still get read errors.
i have no smaller resistors yet so i am going to go and buy some smaller ones as i hear a few success stories with smaller resistors...is it a sign the wires are all soldered well that it attempts to dumps even though it fails?
i am also using the rj45 coupler and made sure all the points from the mobo matched those on the ltp with a multimeter whilst it was plugged into rj45..
i am going to test with smaller resistors and if that doesnt work i am going to ditch the rj45 and wire directly to the mobo..

thought i would ask for advise and tips while not doing it lol..ive been at it for 24 hours solid and getting pissed off now so i have put it away to gather myself again lol

[dragoscojan]

i had the same problem last night.
i dumped and wrote the nand on a zephyr,to jtag it.
unfortunately,all i get is RROD (0020).if i disconnect the jtag cables,it gives me e79.

so i flashed about 3 different xbr versions,dumped to verify it was wrote ok.
after i flashed another version,the console wouldn't turn on.tried to wrote again the nand,and surprise: "could not detect flash controller".i thought i was fucked,and bricked my console.
then i pluged in the power supply,connected the lpt cable,and started shorting out the pins on the nand flash chip,with a flathead screwdriver.while i was doing this,i sent an erase command in nandpro (nandpro lpt: -e16 0x000000).and voila,it erased the nand,and i was able to write another xbr.bin image.
now it still gives me 0020,but at least it turns on lol.

I don't mean to bump an old topic from its sleep, but I was working on a new console from my old one just now and I was getting the Could Not Detect Flash Controller error, and after rechecking my soldering work in the 360 I found the culprit: two of the resistors in my DB25 housing were touching.

Simple fix: separate the two with electrical tape, and oila, nand dumping works beautifully. Its likely more often than not that a simple bridge or problem with the wiring is what causes the problem.

I have the same problem, I used all BIOS setups and I keep getting 2could not find any flash controller". I used another pc with windows 98 and I still have the problem.

I have resoldered about 4 times, with different cables (first used IDE cables and now 24awg), with 100 ohm resistors and without, the diod in the mother board. Its IMPOSSIBLE !!!     I dont know what to do I want my jtagged xbox 360  .

I connect the LPT connector when the motherboard is out of the steel case, and off, without the AV cable.

When I tried with my win98 pc the pc detected a new hardware in LPT port after booting up, but it still doesnt work.
the cable lenght is about 30 cm.
I upload some pictures to help me.

[flammingcowz]

same problem and i have rechecked and re soldered everything a lot of times. tried many pc's and every lpt setting they have. when you say to short top/bottom pins on RIGHT side of that chip, right side when power connector is facing or away from you?
