Did you patch your SMC for your freeboot?

I was under the impression that the Jtag tool patched it automaticlly for you when you select AUD_CLAMP under SMC options. I followed this tutorial http://www.team-xecu...ead.php?t=58111
And it states that its patches for AUD_CLAMP if selected. If its wasnt patched for AUD_CLAMP It shouldnt ever boot Xell/Xellous or free boot. Correct me if i'm wrong.

if you flash xellous that has a patched smc in it, you get a booting xellous. but when you create a freeboot image, and write that to your nand, xellous gets overwritten as with the patched smc in it. so be sure that the program you use to create a freeboot image, also uses the audclamp patched smc automatically (or whatever points you have for your smc.bin). best pig's freeboot creator does not do that, there you have to point to the audclamp prepatched smc.bin. i found that out the hard way....

for the program you use, i don't know. but it might not use the audclamp points automatically.....

OK so now i'm just trying to get xellous to boot consistantly. It usually boots the first time after a fresh flash but wont boot after that

I wright xellous to the first 40 or 50 blocks forget how much it takes. Power cycle the system. Then power on with the eject tray and will get xellous to boot. Now if i power the system down and press the tray button to boot xellous again i just get e79 errors over and over. I either have to let the system sit for awhile unplugged or re flash it.

I just put a freeboot image on it and powered on with the eject tray xellous loaded. I dumped the nand and there were two blocks that were different. I'm going to try and get it to boot into xellous again and flash the same bin file through xellous and then do another dump and compair they should be the same.(the first flash was done with LPT so thats why i believe there are some errors).

Now i havnt updated from dash 2.0.6171 to 7371 would this be causing any problems with xellous?

From what i understand i should be able to wright my stock 2.0.6171 dash on and then update to 7371. Read the 7371 nand and keep this as my main backup nand to create everything corret?

used boxxdr's method but changed to aud_clamp and dvd tray now constant e79 errors.

I have an older motherbord that has rrod. I'm going to fix it and see what kernal it has and try that system.

I have tried every jtag point on this dam falcon and all methods and it still only boots when ever the hell it feels like it

the diode jtag method with falcons and zephyrs are a big pain in the ..... e79 is more common then the exception, on an old zephyr with hdmi i would get one e79 error every two boots (one successful boot into freeboot, the e79. reboot and successful boot into freeboot, then e79 upon another boot).
the aud_clamp method should fix that problem

if you only write xellous with the aud_clamp patched smc.bin into your nand, you have to have the aud_clamp wiring. if you have a transistor jtag and write a xellous with an aud_clamped smc.bin to your nand it won't boot into xellous.
so aud_clamp smc.bin needs aud_clamp wiring ==> aud_clamp patched xellous and aud_clamp patched freeboot
normal smc.bin needs transistor jtag ==> normal smc.bin patched xellous and norma patched freeboot

just rewire accordingly or use the correct smc.bin into your xellous (aud_clamp smc, normal smc or custom smc).

if you get xellous to boot (50 blocks, 2 mb) dump the nand via the network connection. compare etc. etc.

then generate a freeboot image and flash via xellous (put on usb stick, name it updflash.bin and reboot into xellous. update will start, takes around 20 seconds). if you have bad sectors, xellous will relocate them...
my suggestions;
go with the aud_clamp wiring (transistor method), it will resolve many e79 problems. don't forget to use the aud_clamp patched smc.bin files all the way (by injecting them into the freeboot image manually). there are prepatched xellous images with the aud_clamp smc.bin in it....

 Jtag tool does the smc patch automatically when you select AUD clamp , you dont need to manually patch it .
  Bestpigs toolmaker doesnt patch the smc so you need to copy the patched file and then paste it into the correct folder when prompted to.
