Nandpro - Could Not Detect Flash Controller
« Reply #90 on: February 21, 2011, 11:25:00 AM »
having the same issue "could not detect a flash controller" it worked for me one tiem but when i tried it again i keep getting could not detect a flash controlller followed by 4 rrod ...when i remove the wires the 360 works the same but no matter what i do i still get that ..i tried it with the resistors ..without the resistors with the diode without the diode and changing the lpt operation mode same result could it be a bad solder point? because thats the only thing i could think of

I messed with the whole lpt wiring method for 2 weeks.  Tried every resistor combination imaginable, double, triple, quadruple checked soldering connections.  Tried multiple BIOS settings for the LPT port, as well as 3 different XP machines.  Finally, I gave up and bought a Nand X kit.  Haven't had a problem since smile.gif

So, i've checked the soldering with multimeter from back of mb to lpt pins, looks really okay.
Tried to shortcut the nand's pins - nothing happend... it even didn't blow lol
Tried turning the console on - didn't checked the av-output but the green lights blink like they should.
ps running nandpro while the console is on makes it turn off...
pps also do I really need the daughter pluged in? (that has the power-on button)

muahaha, it's reading now! (still no errors while writing this post)
it was faulty soldering or shitty wires problem. (i used ide wires before, now - utp cat5).
soldering done right through - i mean the wire get into the hole while get hot.
NO DIODES, NO RESISTORS.
ps also i soldered gnd wire on mb (j2b1.12 i think, but left it not connected to anywhere)

still i didn't soldered jtag itself, because i have a question.
So when I get the nand backup what is my next step? there is a lot diffirences in random tutorials.
Do I need xellous or it's an old thing and I just use the fbbuild on my dump and then flash it back to xbox? (i heard that freeboot switches to another nand? so do i have to use xbrebooter then?)
Should I solder jtag before writing new nand? or can I write it now, then do jtag wiring and boot right in fb?
plox i need ur helpfull answers guys I'm so nervous now (:

okay... it reads but...
I don't get any errors but I can't get identical dumps, there's a LOT of differences in dumps.
Sometimes it can't even get 'Microsoft corporation' right.
Any ideas?

ps: also nandpro works for me only in spp lpt mode.

Ground the lpt  case to the xbox 360 case ...That may solve your problems .

rigger66, well the mobo is out of the xbox case smile.gif
I wonder how should I do this?

Currently i got one free wire shown at right bottom here as GND soldered to motherboard. Should it be touching lpt's connector or what?

Look to step 2 for guidance...am sure this may be why your dumps don`t compare
Just wrap , clip a wire from the lpt outer case to the copper screw holes of the motherboard.

Tutorial help

"Step 2 Quote"

If for whatever reason you can't get two matching NAND dumps, then please do as follows:
If you're getting no errors in NandPro, but when you compare your dumps they never match, you need to ground the LPT cable.The un-shielded wire on the LPT cable (ie no plastic sleeve) is the ground, or if you've built your own cable from scratch, attach a wire from the metal chassis of the DB-25 connector. Attach this to the metal shielding of the 360 or one of the copper grnd points around the screw holes in the mobo and that should sort the problem.

Try to change the ports in Bios...This may help..worth a shot.
Make sure you disable all Anti virus & firewalls

Bios Help

Can I use the Team Xecuter Nand-X USB 360 Programmer Kit instead of making this wire?

 Yes, and it reads faster and is more reliable.
