well I found the 2N3904, rewired everything from scratch, everything seems good, used the DB1F1, it gives good continuity to the alternate points (tho both alternate points in the bottom no longer have solder on them and they seem like the been "lifted" a little bit) everything seems in place, but I still get E79 every time

I can read the nand and write it no problem I have read 5 copies of the nand all of them with 0 bad blocks and 0 differences, I read the KV to inject it to the free60.bin about 15 times, all of them with 0 differences, if I write the original nand the xbox works correctly.

I used a pre-patched SMC file from the tutorial, and even created one following the same tutorial

do you guys think that the damage on the alternate points is the problem? or am I just creating the free60.bin incorrectly? I've read other tutorials where they don't mention injecting the KV should I try just flashing the pre-patched SMC xellous without the KV ?

any help will be very appreciated, I am losing my mind!

Here is my newest tutorial. A video is coming soon too. VIEW THIS TUTORIAL IN HIGH RES - CLICK HERE

Does this method replace the need to Jtag with Xecuter JTAG Connection Kit? I do not know if you need both or one only. This is an alternate method?

 Yes it is an alternate method, you only need a few $$ worth of components .

i had jtagged my falcon using this tut and by following this one

it has the newest kinect dash and i had this xbox working with no problems for about a week when i just got the e79 error with a sec code of 1033. i unplugged the hdd, wires, and left it alone and still a no go. i read so many different fixes and all of them dont mention this way of doing the jtag with transistors. i would like to know what are the fixes for e79 using this method of jtag or is there no difference? can i just flash my orignal nand back over to the xbox and start over without having to remove all the wires? or can i just reflash over the free60.bin file see if that fixes it? im at a loss at what to do. i have all the files i believe i need like my original nand,kv and etc. any help would be appreciated... thanks

[Evillvi]

ok... i flashed the original nand back to the xbox with the jtag wires in place and it booted up fine. i then remade all the files from Looouky's guide i linked to in my previous post but when i try to start over with the flashing of xellous i end up getting the e79 error again. would there be something wrong with the premade files linked to in that tut?i dont understand what im doing wrong. ive had this xbox working fine for a few days and this isnt my first time doing the jtag hack but it is my first doing the transistor method of the hack. im at a loss at what i need to do next. please, any help would be appreciated or a updated tut with updated files and such would be helpful. thanks

Boxxdr,
I went ahead and posted the photo on photobucket. This is a couple views of the Xenon board I just finished with the transistor method. Hopefully this will help clear up some of the confusion people are having. Feel free to host it on boxxdr.com and add it as an example in your tutorial if you want. All that I ask is that you give me credit for the photo example. I can also supply you with hi-res versions if you need it. You may also notice, I used 1/8w resistors and it works flawless! I like how clean it is with 1/8w ones.

Thanks for this.  Did a xenon this way the other day and works great.

Also to anyone who does a Xenon this way, you don't have to patch the SMC or anything.

Nice job! So how did it turn out? Pictures?

Went well.  I have been using your method for JTAGs and now this one for Xenons.  It was a customers box and sent back already so no pics.  Did another xenon the other day this way but its sold already.

So.....I have a Falcon. JTAG'ed it awhile ago. I had a few random freezes, I decided to rewire using this method.

My DB1F1 pad was lifted in my first attempt to JTAG, so I used FT1U2. While removing my wiring from the old JTAG, you guessed it, I lifted FT1U2.

No big deal right, I have the alt point shown in the tutorial. Guess what, I had the connection all made and I burned myself with the iron and pulled the pad off. I am not using a very powerful iron.

I can get a fiberglass pen and connect to the FT1U2 trace, I was just wondering if anyone had a better idea.

First off, great tutorial, Boxxdr, appreciate the time and effort that went into this

I'm currently running a falcon using the more "traditional" method with diodes.

I found a few transistors in my rummage pile, and found a few that are labelled "2n3904-313" whereas the transistors in the pictures are labelled "2N3904-331." Juding by the datasheets, they're interchangeable, but would appreciate confirmation by someone who knows more about this stuff than I do.
Thanks again

Thanks!

The transistors you have are fine.

Need some help, I rewired my Jasper yesterday to this wireing. Using aud_clamp. But I forgot to reflash my box with a hacked smc before I did it. So when trying to start the console I have only solid green, no errors but no picture. And no xell eather.

What can I do? Do I have to solder back the usb cables to fix this or is there an easier way?

Extract your smc.bin with 360 flash tool
you will have a 2 files smc_dec.bin and smc_enc.bin, you dont need the enc one.
get the program SMC_IO, put it in the directory with your smc_dec.bin
Get to a DOS prompt and at command prompt type SMC_IO smc_dec.bin smc.bin
Run that FreeBOOT tool with the pink pig and select make custom freeboot
Do everything else as normal, enter your CPU key, etc
Then a directory will pop up and there will be some message in freeboot maker
copy your patched smc.bin to the data directory, its ok to overwrite the one in there.
Then click OK on the freeboot maker message after copying over your smc.bin
Then you will have to connect your programmer again and flash since you can't access your JTAG now.

Another way you can apply your patched SMC
Follow steps above, but instead of choosing make custom freeboot, you can make your freeboot as normal, but then get sbtool.exe, get to command prompt and have your smc.bin and freeBOOT.bin in the same directory.  Get to dos prompt and type sbtool i smc.bin freeBOOT.bin

Yes you will have to solder back your programmer.

Thanks man, just a question. I got the program smc_util_1v2 is that the same program? the comand you gave be didnt work it says that smc_io not recognized as command.

Just wanted to check so I dont do anything stupid. Thanks for your advice

yea there is a program just called smc_io.exe it should be in the tools directory of that SMC util

Oki, I downloded SMC_io.exe v0.2a

But when I run it, it says "error couldent find TMS data pattern"

I would Also like to implement the Play'N'Charge fix that has been relesed. Any idees of what I am doing wrong? The smc I use is directly extracted from my orig.bin.

Tanks for the help =)

Try extracting the SMC from freeBOOT

SMC_io is old,

you should be using smc_util_1v2 if you want all of the latest fixes.
contact me in PM and i will make you a proper smc.bin for your wiring.

OK I think I scraped my FT1U2 well enough to get solder to stick. I soldered to the trace and hot glued the wire in place.

I am getting a constant e79 no matter how I update. I can not get Xellous to run.

In the picture below, did I bridge those solder balls? Some pictures I have seen have 3 tiny solder balls. This is a Falcon board.

Yes, you bridged them. Remove the bridge and try again.
Why are you not using the alternate point i have suggested in my tutorial?
