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 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Do you have your CPU key? it is possible to rebuild your nand backup with certain information

So I could see some tiny amounts of solder just out of reach underneath the edge of the south bridge chip, I figured the box was screwed so go a bit rough with a sharp knife trying to dig it out, didn't care if I ruined it or not cause I thought it was already ruined. I didn't manage to chip and out but whatever I did my Xbox now works and it recognizes the dvd drive. Just booted into XeXLoader so happy!

i know how frustratingly testy it can be

Hey, good news indeed! Luck you in the end. I wish I could do this hack at my console. Unfortunately I wasn't aware about this part of scene and I updated to dash to 8955. No hope by now.

just flashed sucessfully XBR on my xenon

but it was a bit strange, first i got reading errors (Error 250) while dumping the original always at the same blocks (very near the end).
But since the KV is at the beginning of the nand, and it is the only really needed part of it for the hack i just extracted it and injected it in XBR (XBReboot_XENON_8955_1), after that i "fixed" the bad blocks and flashed it (Got write Error 202 on the same blocks as reading).
Result: xbox turns on, no the screen, no booting.

Then just tried out of curiosity to inject only the KV in (XBReboot_Xenon_1921_8955_1, i have 1888 CB) and just flashed it without fixing the bad blocks. Ok got the same write errors but the 360 boots up fine, had to configure it again (dident inject config) but it seems to work with no problems. Im very happy

PS: noticed something strange, maybe its normal

after copying over Xexloader of the CD (burned the iso), i left the CD in the 360 drive and everytime i poweron the console it wont boot into the NXE.
i see the xbox logo an unusually long time and then E61 appears. With no disc or a original/backup Game-Disk it works fine.

I did this as well. first try it wasn't finding the lpt port. then i realized i had 2 wires swapped. fixed it and everything dumped and flashed for me great. this was an old box i did the hybrid xclamp mod on. only problem is that after about 10 to 30 mins of playtime it has been freezing then black screening on me. it was giving the artifact issue but now it just freezes. graphics seem ok now. is it something i did in the xbr flashing or is is freezing because the hybrid xclamp fix is only working halfway? guess i'll just keep playing around with the screws till i get something that works. prob do the 12v fan mod too.

oh and btw does anybody know if the xexloader will let you replace nand files? i know it lets you browse them. guess i should give that a try too

Just get rid of it - you won't need it again (and it'll stop you accidently updating your 360 and borking it)

http://i.imgur.com/Fdjmi.png is a picture of what says needs to be done to exploit the jtag hack.

http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=690493 is a picture of how I have it soldered at the moment.

Am i going to have to unsolder and solder to the way the first one says? Or is the way i have it fine?

Misterturtle · « **Reply #39 on:** December 09, 2009, 11:13:00 AM »

Oh and to Ranger if you are still following this post. Make sure plug and play for your lpt port is enabled in device manager. I had to do that. Also try just restarting your computer with everything plugged in and hooked up if the plug and play doesnt work.

That picture you posted shouldn't be used as a reference at all, because where it shows the diode , its utterly confusing for noobs , that might think its soldered on the board exactly where it shows, instead of clearly indicating that the light blue wire should go on one end of the diode, and the black ring of the diode on the board directly.

If you are referring to the 3 resistors in that picture, from what i understand it also works , but the http://i.imgur.com/Fdjmi.png picture is how i did it, and from what i read it is the best method to use.

So after I do this- then I can do a JTAG hack- to get my CPU key(so I at least have it incase anything)?

Yup, after XBR has been written to the nand using this guide, you can then boot in to Xell by plugging a wire controller in to the back usb port on the 360 and powering the console on by pushing the middle X button on the controller.

You'll then see Xell load up and it will clearly say:

CD Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
DVD Key: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Take a photo on a digi cam then you can write the key out in to a text file.

@dstruktiv:: Coo, basically then I wire the 25 pin cable flash the XBR and then boot into xell via wired controller in the rear port. Thx for the guide Roamin64.

Haha, I dusted off a console I had in the garage w/out HDMI. I know this sucker has a exploitable CB. Guess what? I plugged it in to see if was okay and 3rlod!!!! So I did what any normal person would do. I KEPT TURNING IT ON AND OFF UNTILL I WAS SATISFIED(bout 15 times all red lights) and still no worky.

Then I come home from work today and viola!! It was on!!!!! My 2 yr old was playing with it. I was like WTF!!! COOL!

Taking this sucker to work and wire the sh*t up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jester.gif) Sorry for the rant.

I got an xenon motherboard and set it up like this:

http://img19.imagesh...nondiagram.jpg/

I have dumped the nand 8 times now, compared all of them with HxD (a hex editor) and none of them are even close to each other.

I have resoldered 3 times.

Yes, i do have an explotiable CB and unupdated kernal.

I noticed at the end of each dump there are alot of 00's and FF's. I know this normally means empty/bad data. So which one is it for this? Are there suppose to be FF's and 00's at the end of Xenon dumps?

Should i Possibly use usb reader? I've heard about them, but ive never seen anything about them. Do you make it or just buy it or what?

I'm completely stuck and its getting very frustrating, been working non it for a couple of days now. Someone please help x.x
