I had to add three grounds on my cable before I would get identical matches. Since I have done that, I get perfect matches on the first two dumps.

Two of my grounds are going to pin 18. one ground is the purple dot shown and the other is the one shown circled in this pic

I also soldered a ground wire on the big ground point like you did and attached it to the outer metal of the db-25 end.

Okay, after taking off the resistors I got 2 dumps to match first go! Ichecked in degraded and it is exploitable. Then I flashed the xell but I get a E67 error? I went ahead and re did my jtag wiring and now it looks great. Solder points are much cleaner, every wire is in the hold.

 http://boxxdr.com/boxxdr_jtag.jpg I used a combination of these two diagrams. I screwed up the point on the board where the left wire went in the first diagram so I used the alternate point in the second. So all my points are under the board. I will upload pictures tomorrow.

So I am loading my nand dump back onto the xbox now and will see if it works after that. Does this error mean there is something wrong with my JTAG connections or could it still be something with the LPT connection even though it dumps and loads fine?

Thank you for your help everyone!

After loading the original NAND dump back it boots fine. I am trying to flash the XELL again to see what happens. I didn't have the DVD ROM plugged up the first time I tried and I noticed it wouldn't boot without it with the original NAND so maybe I need to do that with the XELL as well.

The flash worked the second time around. I was able to get my CPU key when XELL booted up.

Now on to the next question What's next? I need to install FREEBOOT I guess?

I went ahead and created the freeboot flash file by injecting my key into the file for the Falcon board using nandpro. Do I just need to flash my original NAND back and then put the freeboot bin file on a FAT32 thumbdrive and then load it via USB to the xbox.

I saw a video that showed accessing the freeboot file from the flash drive via the xbox dashboard. It then will flash the system with the freeboot file. Am I missing something here? Just want to be sure I am progressing down the right path. I will have pictures up later of my new wiring. It is 100% cleaner then before.

Okay, I am good to go. I loaded XBReboot and it is working fine now. I extracted my DVD key using 360 flash tool. I am swaping the dvd rom now and installing the xex tool. Any other recomendations for a newly JTAG'ed Xbox?

Freestyle dash for sure, and I would pick up a big (~500 gb) hard drive to store games and such on. You can go external or internal with that, obviously external is much easier.

Cool, I bought a 1 Tearabyte external drive to use. I can't find any tutorials on how to use it to play games off of though. I have loaded movies and roms etc. on it no problem but can I just use something like XeX menu to copy a game to the HD?

Thanks!
