I did this method on my xenon. I dumped the nand 3 times, then i flashed xell. When I try to boot into xell with the eject button it just brings up the regular blade dash. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.

whatever image you use, xell, xbr, etc, it must have the appropriate smc code for the wiring method you're using.  you may be able to find xell binaries that have tms on audclamp, i've never done it.

my method:

1) dump nand.  
2) make sure it's good.  (i always do 3 reads and let nandcompare produce my "original" [tho i've never had nandcompare say it couldn't find a match for all blocks across 3 dumps]).
3) read kv out of nand (or your dump).
4) write the appropriate xbr_jasperXX_8955_3.bin to the nand.  note the word appropriate.  the usual places has images that have tms on ARGON_DATA and tdi on DB1F1.  you'll need to make your own if you change where those signals are located.  this is accomplished with sbtool (extract smc from either your dump or xbr_jasperXX_8955_3.bin) and then run it through blackaddr's smc_io tool.  this thread is not about how to do that (and as i type this i realize that, call the police, the thread is getting jacked!), so you can read up on that.
5) write your kv back to the nand.
5) wire your method up.
6) boot into xellous by using eject.  there's your cpu key quick get a camera ah crap you need to reboot cuz you weren't ready.  seriously, use your camera.
7) build a freeboot image with your cpu key and your original nand.  custom build it and use that same patched smc you created in step 4 (unless you use the standard tms=ARGON_DATA, tdi=DB1F1 wiring).
boot up the box, start xexmenu, launch flash360, write the freeboot image you renamed to updflash.bin and put in the same folder as flash360.
9) go to bed cuz you're up WAY TOO LATE.  oh my god you have to be up in 3 hours to take the kids to school and then head into work.  omg.  but wait.  i should just put the system back in the case; ah shit, first i need to flash the drive.  dammit.  
10) drink caffeine in the morning.  
11) repeat #10.

note, tho, that i only work with jaspers and YMMV.

You do not use aud clamp on a xenon from what I know it will not work.

Ok so I tried everything that was suggested i.e. patching smc for aud_clamp into xbr and adding kv, also using hacked xell with patched smc, nothing worked. The 360 just flashes an E79 whereas if I flashed back to the MS dashboard it would boot fine I have even used a executor QSB for the jtag with the diodes soldered to correct points and resistor switched to various positions.

Does anyone have a 7371 nand image of 16MB jasper they can donate as mine got deleted. I already have my kv and config info just need the 7371 bin as my 7363 backup wont boot now just flashes single green light for a while then RROD with error 1031.

TIA

[shawndezy115]

so i am very interested in doing this fix.
i currently have diodes. i was one of the first to do the jtags. ya its original wiring.


i wanted to know if i have both falcons working well enough to flash using flash 360, should i flash with the Aud_clam fix then do my wiring or will my system still boot after i remove the old wiring and install transistors then flash using flash 360?

thanks guys

Shawn

0) create your new image with tms on aud_clamp
1) flash new image via flash360 or xellous (i use flash360)
2) remove old wiring, install new wiring
3)
4) profit.

you may want to practice desoldering some spare pcb you've got laying around.  i can't get my timing right on using a pump/sucker, so i just use braid.  knowing what to look for helps, so practice may help.

I'm going to atempt my first hdmi board,  can i use 1/2 w instead of 1/4 w resistors ?
  Also i use bestpigs toolbox to create freeboot images for xenons, i notice there is an option for smc but i'm not sure if there are any other special requirements for creating fb images to be used with aud_clamp wiring ?

 I just read the full thread and pretty sure i have it sorted now, off to buy the components and get stuck into it tonight.

im confused on the smc.bin...
Im supposed to get it from my original nand than modify and flash into the modded nand?
i have xreboot flashed to the nand. i get a single red light, 1033 error.... the original jtag wiring was throwing e79 errors so i decided to switch to this. i am completely lost.

 Just use the pre patched smc file that is linked to Loookuy's jtag post, i couldnt be arsed patching my own so used the pre made ones and they work fine - once you put them in the right freeboot folder.

[turfster]

This tutorial has premade smc's for audo_clamp method. Download the patched smc and xellous images title below directly from the tutorial. Choose the smc for your falcon.

Use best pigs freeboot toolbox maker 2.6 or 2.7. Use the option: click to make a custom freeboot image. Add your cpukey, and it will prompt you for your nand image and your patched smc from that tutorial below. It will build a new updflash.bin.

And if you can hook it up to your network use xellous to dump the kv and nand, i couldnt get any matching dumps via lpt but using http i got 3 identical and its fast, about 30 secs for each dump.

[tk_saturn]

To add to that, there's a good chance the E74 you're getting is related to a bad NAND/ E71. I've had that myself on a BNIB Jasper, and was quicky resolved by 'sorting' the NAND issue.

Ok thanks a million!!! i finnaly after 4 days have signs of a jtagged xbox. i am getting xellous on the tv when either power or eject is pressed. i have flashed xbr on the xbox, flashed kv, and than i just flashed xellous. is there an easy way i can boot into the xbr or do i have to keep following instructions on that tut.

Freeboot is not working for me on 2 computers.. it goes to 38% dump has not been properly extracted reason is unknown.

That's because because the diode is on the wrong end of your cable, as I posted before.

Read the readme file which comes with NandPro, it needs to be motherboard side. Tiros (author of NandPro) has repeatedly stated this.

If you are unable to get matching dumps via LPT due to your LPT lead, then even Flashing Xellous is risky. You could easily get an error writing Xellous, hence the issue with the LPT should be resolved first or be replaced with a USB reader. Even if you dump using Xellous, you still need that good first 2MB to reconstruct your original NAND.

 Could be, cable works fine with the xenon's i've done. Will be updating to a usb reader soon.
