Whilst I managed to get Nandpro to detect the flash every dump I took came out different. I tried 6 and never got 2 identical ones. I've just finished making a custom LPT cable that's about 15CM long. It's so short that I need to put the Xbox right up to the back of the PC to connect it.

It's worked though, I've just got 2 identical valid dumps in a row  

I'm flashing XBR to the nand now then will solder the JTAG wires and hopefully it'll work first go  

[thwack]

Just to add (only just noticed this) in this section:

Flashing XBR to your nand :

    * Grab the XBR_8955 matching your board from Xbins
    * Go to your nandpro20b folder
    * nandpro orig.bin: -r16 rawkv.bin 1 1
    * nandpro orig.bin: -r 16 rawconfig.bin 3de 2
    * Now that you have extracted your keyvault and config blocks from your orig.bin, inject them in the xbr_8955.bin of your motherboard version :
    * Rename the xbr_8955.bin of your board to xbr.bin to simplify things.
    * nandpro xbr.bin: -w16 rawkv.bin 1 1
    * nandpro xbr.bin: -w16 3de 2
    * Now that you've injected your keyvault and config into xbr.bin all you need to do is flash is back to your nand.
    * nandpro lpt: -w16 xbr.bin
    * Once done , unplug lpt cable from pc , turn on xbox and enjoy XBR.
    * Problems? Refer to troubleshooting and end of guide.

The bold bit should read:

*nandpro xbr.bin: -w16 rawconfig.bin 3de 2

There are 2 versions of XBR on Xbins for the Xenon board whereas the other boards only have one version each. How can I tell what version of the Xenon XBRs I need?

XBR_Xenon_1921_8955_1 seems to be newer (by file date) and there is also XBR_Xenon_8955_1. Is the 1921 version only for boards with a CB of 1921?

My board has a CB of 1903 and has dash 7371

I've done the JTAG and dash 8955 (XBR) booted up straight away  

Now I'm having another issue, no matter what I do I cannot get my DVD drive to work. The middle green light constantly flashes even if I have it plugged in. Pushing the button doesn't open it and trying to open it from the dashboard does nothing. Any ideas?

boot into xell with a wired controller in the back(can also use a GH Guitar wired), and get the dvd key and make sure its the right dvd key for that drive? Either that or check your connections in the back of the drive and on the mobo.

[Roamin64]

An invalid dvd key shouldn't prevent you from opening/closing the drive. A bad dvd firmware would. Also make sure the power/eject cable (the one with about 6 wires, white connector) is properly connected, and that no pins were bent putting it back together after your install.  I have a friend that bent a pin without noticing ,and brought me his 360 to check. He felt pretty silly when thats the first thing i made sure , that all connections were correct (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Let us know.

edit: I asked a mod to allow me to fix the rawconfig.bin mistake from original tut, should be updated later on today.

The one's I've tested with a CB of 1903, I've used XBR_Xenon_8955_1

Just another addition to the tut - maybe highlight in bold YOU DO NOT NEED TO DOWN/UPGRADE YOUR DASH IF IT'S IN THE EXPLOITABLE LIST

Might save a lot of thse type of posts

Hey,
i just followed your tutorial and i got the "Error 250" for several blocks at the end of the nandpro reading progress (arround 6) they are not in one row...
can i still proceed?

Test your dumps in 360FlashTool/Degraded. If they're bad, either you're using NandPro 2 and not 2b, or it's your cable.

My dvd drive isn't modified. The connections are good. The flash went perfect etc.

I did spill some solder at one point though a wee blob dropped on to the corner of the "XSB" chip which I assume is the south bridge. I cleaned it up as far as I can tell but maybe there's some there shorting something

Box seems to work perfectly apart from that though no RRoD or anything. As soon as a plug the black power cable in a get the flashing green dvd light

Thanks for this. I also posted this over at 360iso & gave you credit for it. I took no credit but just posted it because so many people are struggling with this hack. Good job!  

fuck xbox360iso those people should not be fed this.
that community is fucking shit up all across the scene

The dumps open and show 6 bad blocks which are found at other positions...  so can i just move those bad block and still flash this one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

PS: im using NandPro2b and tried several cables, everytime the exact same dump

[kleimo]

Just asking. I have not got two same dumps yet. But all the dumps of rawkv.bin i got have compared to be the same so do i need the whole good dump of the nand?

[dstruktiv]

If you can't get two good dumps nthen chances are you can't flash to it consistently either. Shorten yur cables. Try different combinations of resisters/diode etc.

Seems I've now bricked my box, tried to find and remove any trace of solder I may have dropped, didn't end up removing anything but now I get 3RRod
