Topic: Nandpro - Could Not Detect Flash Controller (Read 556 times)

spike4real · « **on:** September 05, 2009, 08:47:00 AM »

I'm having an issue reading my Nand using the LPT mod. I've tried two different age computers (P4 and Pentium-D) and all available LPT modes in the BIOS (Normal, ECP etc). Every time i get the same result.
'Could not detect flash controller, Fatal Error'

I've checked the wiring and all looks perfect (the mod was done by a pro). The three 330 ohm resistors are on the end nearest the case (points 3-4-5) and the five 100 ohm resistors are on the LPT connector end of wires (1-2-14-16-17).

is this correct? Do the 100 ohm resistors need to be on the xbox end rather than connector end? Do i even need them at all?!

Any help is appreciated.

do you have the diode installed on the motherboard.

Did you try a switching diode on 11 ?, and what is the length of the cable connected to the Pc, if it too long about a meter it mite not work with the resistors.

I don't think the 100 ohm resistors position really matter mine are on the db25 connector but I have seen some on the mobo, both seem to work.

I haven't got a diode on 11 but if thats worth a go i'll ask the guy to fit one. The cable length is about 70cm

Hi

I have exactly the same problem

* Tested on 3 different PC
* All LTP modes
* All wiring are ok (checked with multimeter)
* LTP port output 5v (so i use 5x100 ohm, tested in the cable, and on the motherboard, also checked with multimeter, and tested without resistor)
* 3x330 ohm
* LTP cable = 15cm
* 1N914 with black ring at motherboard side (tested without)
* Registry trick (disablewarmxxx)
* Tried to install old text printer on the ltp port
* PortNT95 installed
* Tested on Windows 98 and XP (also on linux)
* Xbox is the very first box (buyed the launch day of the 360), never returned to microsoft, never rrod

'Could not detect flash controller, Fatal Error'

This week i'll test with lcp2148 (usb)

Hey, um REMOVE the friggin resistors and it should work. Also a diode is a good idea as well.

I also have the exact same problem

Tested on a PC and laptop
I have tried all LTP modes
checked all the wiring twice
3x330 ohm
5x100 ohm
LTP cable is about 25-30cm long
1N914 diode installed with black ring at motherboard side
Tested on Windows xp

C:\Documents and Settings\trippy\Desktop\NandPro20>NandPro.exe lpt: -r16 nand.bin

any help would be welcome. thanks

Remove the resistors (the ones on the lpt flasher, not the 330 ohms, as they're for running xell); I had the same error as you, and when I removed them, it worked.

thanks alot for this. I thought i must have had a bad solder point i could not see. however, removed the 5x 100ohm resistors and all is good. dumping nand as i type, takes a while!

got working using the 3x 1N4148 diodes only, just wires for the rest with no resistors.

thanks for you help guys.

I got the same error the first time i tried it, then i realised i hadnt plugged in the xbox to the power supply, worked great after that.

Lol me too! but it was because I hadn't pushed the parallel port all the way in to my comp!

Wish I could fix mine with something that simple. I tried everything possible and still couldn't get nandpro to detect my flash controller. I gave up in the end, wasted 4 evenings on it

Fatal Error

Exactly the same here. I tried every setting in the BIOS, resoldered the whole setup, with and without resistors and the diode. Any more ideas?

Maybe it's because my LPT ist on a PCI-board (and not onboard)?

Unfortunately don't have another PC with LPT to test.

I had this, then I realized the xbox wasn't plugged in.

woody21_1 · « **Reply #14 on:** December 06, 2009, 12:00:00 AM »

i cant even get the port95 driver to install on this POS pc, the files get unpacked to the temp directory and the installer just refuses to run no natter what even in safe mode.

anyone else come across this problem and know how to manually install them?
