My motherboard doesn't have a Parallel port(LPT) from what I've been reading u cannot use an expansion card for this because it won't work, so my question is:-

I've seen many shops selling usb to parallel adapters, will this work? I'm not worried about the speed, just if nandpro will be able to see the device.
Any advice will be appreciated.

It seems you're new to this stuff, but that question has been asked and answered countless times in this thread. That won't work. You MUST have an LPT port.

You can, alternatively, build or purchase a USB SPI flasher. There are several people in the BST forum who sell them, though most are backed-up on orders right now.

No offense to anyone doing the LPT method. I tried it for days and really wanted it to work but couldn't get a good flash config for the life of me (and I know how to solder with the best of them).

You sure you were matching the right flashconfig to the right type of motherboard? I know some guides only had the flashconfig of xenon and everyone assumed it had to be that.

Of course it doesnt matter now, just curious.

Thx for the quick response

thankz for the last answer

...

Now i got another question.

In the motherboard what i supposed to do there ?? Put any resistor or Diode or nothing?

For example:

IPB Image

In the pins there, i need put some resistors in the pins 1-2-14-16-17(right?) .. im ok for now

But the Diode (is different than resistor, right?) where should i placed ? Pin 11 ?

If im right about the pin11, is obligatory do that ?

Edit:

My console is:
Falcon, i guess v2
Kernel 8995

Thnkz ^^ sorry im so annoying about that ,( !

where do you get those wire ends for the re-usable cable (garlon's idea)??

edit:
nvm, found your post OP.
thanks.

I've heard people use the ends of diodes or resistors. When you clip them shorter just save the ends.

thanks i just used this on a old box i had laying around working great so far bout 10 min into nand read
i have a question what kind of pins are you using for your quick solder? thanks for the great tut keep up the good work all...... now my kid can get off my box.
(edit sorry dident see post above me)

the post is right above you broskii

use the ends of diodes, or even LEDs. I had a broken optical mouse laying around and took the LED from it, and clipped the ends to use it for my wire ends.

PS - if you're looking to buy a PCI card then save your money. You might as well buy an Olimex LPC-H2148 USB Header and use this instead - it'll take a fraction of the time and is much more accurate.

how would the wiring be done for this?

edit:
did some searching, and if anyone is interested in the USB header method, a tut can be found here:

Kernel 8995? I'm blinded by your idiocy. Normally I'm nice to others on this board and I'm glad to answers questions if I know the answers, but because you're directly asking questions which answers can be found in this very topic or other pinned topics make me hate you.

To be fair, dumping the NAND on unexploitable dashboards can be beneficial if you want to uncripple a console. That's why I didn't berate him.

In the very first post the OP doesn't state where to add the diode. He actually had success without the diode. So if you are unsuccessful, you'll want to try adding the diode, or trying a different PC.

*Remember, check both of your NAND dumps for errors before flashing your NAND to determine if your dumps were successful or not.

If you add the resistors to the pins on the Male Serial end, you don't need to add them to the mobo/wire ends. Adding them to the serial end just gives it a cleaner look imo.

Aldanga · « **Reply #267 on:** February 05, 2010, 02:16:00 PM »

Also to add: if you end up needing the diode, you need to connect it to the motherboard itself with the black line facing the mobo.

I just want to be sure, if I were to go this route:

(LPC2148 Olimex USB header board with the JTAG Programmer JTAG20 10 pin Connector Cable Adapter)

I would solder the wires from the 360 mobo to this area here?:
