Alright, maybe my 2 cents here could be of some help to some...
Steps:
1. Read my NAND three times in a row, no errors during the dumps.
2. Compared the nands using the dos command, "FC /b dump1.bin dump2.bin". No differences so identical dumps.
3. Extracted my rawkv.bin and rawconfig.bin from my dump and injected them both into my XBR_Zephyr_8955_3b.bin
4. Flashed XBR_Zephyr_8955_3b.bin without errors
5. Powered on my Zephyr 360 and was presented by that ugly E79 error.
6. Tried powering on using controller, power button, eject - same error.
7. Opened the beast again and rechecked the JTAG soldering points, they looked good to me but I redid them anyway.
8. Powered it on again, still E79 error.
9. Turned to a mans best friend (google). Found out that there was two different ways of where to solder one of the JTAG points - cool I thought, must try the other one. I had been using the JTAG point where you solder on the back of the mobo:

10. Cut that one and instead soldered that point to the front pcb as seen on the free60 site:

11. Powered on and tamtadadamdadam - worked fine! =)
Have had no further issues (have powered on off about 30 times after this)

I do not understand how that would make a difference. They are the same connection. I use the connection on the front of the PCB but have the problem.  Maybe you just happen to have it working ok for now and it will reappear
Not sure

That's good you found a solution to your issue.

Take a look at mine: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=703124


And yes, I have tried redoing the JTAG on the different contact points and not good


Cheers.

Got mine working!!!!

What i did:

Broke the FALCON xbr up into 4 parts without injecting anything in first: (xbrf = xbreboot falcon)
nandpro xbrf.bin: -r16 xbr0.bin 0 100
nandpro xbrf.bin: -r16 xbr100.bin 100 100
nandpro xbrf.bin: -r16 xbr200.bin 200 100
nandpro xbrf.bin: -r16 xbr300.bin 300 100

Wrote the first part and read it back:
nandpro lpt: -w16 xbr0.bin 0 100
nandpro lpt: -r16 xbr0confirm.bin 0 100

Compared xbr0.bin with xbr0confirm.bin with a hex editor. If it was identical i continued to the next part, if there were differences I read it again and compared xbr0.bin with xbr0confirm2.bin. If those two werent identical i rewrote the 1st part again then re read it etc.

I did this for the rest:
nandpro lpt: -w16 xbr100.bin 100 100
nandpro lpt: -r16 xbr100confirm.bin 100 100
compared them

nandpro lpt: -w16 xbr200.bin 200 100
nandpro lpt: -r16 xbr200confirm.bin 200 100
compared them

nandpro lpt: -w16 xbr300.bin 300 100
nandpro lpt: -r16 xbr300confirm.bin 300 100
compared them

After all of them were identical I unpluged the lpt port and turned on the xbox. You should get the christmas lights, this is good. If you didnt get the christmas lights, try to inject the rawconfig.bin from your original nand, or maybe the SMC.

If you did get the christmas lights just inject the kv from your original nand directly to the lpt and then power it on and it worked for me.


You can probably skip a few of these steps, like powering it on before the kv. But this way you isolate the problem, also i just wanted to post EXACTLY what i did in case a little thing makes the difference. Good luck to all of you with evil zephyrs.

Sweet! Glad to hear u got it working. My usb spi from grim should come in this week which will hopefully help. Will let you know how this works out.

So you used the Falcon XBR on your Zephyr board? is it safe to do that?
I don't want to screw up my Zephyr (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Misterturtle]

yeah its safe.

Do you get errors using Falcon's XBR on the Xbox?. I mean the random e79, RRoD that the Xbox gives when the Zephyr's XBR is installed on it.

I found that if the 3 red rings have the 0022 error then the nand isnt written right. For me at least, thats why i broke it up into 4 parts so i can easily rewrite the part the has the error. My zephyr was dumping/writing very very slow, and had errors every once in a while. I checked the lpt solder points, they were perfect, i even resoldered like 5 times.

Just break it up into 4 parts and write then read each part individually to make 100% sure that it is 100% correct. Then inject the kv. Check http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=703302 for the random e79 error. That was my problem at least.

[cat100]

If the KV.bin is not in the xbr when you flash the nand then xell won`t load right? because I extracted the KV from my dump and checked it with kv modder and it says: Keyvault error! load a keyvault. Now I used the nandpro orig.bin -r16 kv.bin 1 1 command and that gave me my keyvault, not that I want to mod the kv I just wanted to check and see if it was ok. If I look at my dump under 360 flash tools should I see the kv cause I don`t. I dumped my nand 3 times and they all match. Whats up?

Hi again,

I flashed in my Zephyr the Falcon's XBR injecting only the KeyVault but nothing has changed. The E79 keeps appearing randomly so I think we can just wait until a new XBRebooter 100% compatible with our Zephyr    

[Cisk]

Another Zephyr here with latest XBR that trows up Random E79s.

Pretty sure its not my wireing, Reflashed a few times with Redline99s Flash360, still the same.
Annoying thing is after it happens you have to go through the initial xbox360 setup each time

Think its a problem with XBR and the Zephyrs. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next release.

I came home from school to find that my usb spi from grim arrived! (Yay). Tried out everything with your exact steps and bam, still e79 on BOTH of my zephyrs =(

I'm begining to go back to the drawing board and think that the jtag setup is cause, not XBR. Perhaps the zephyr boards are very unstable on the current jtag wiring setup. I read somewhere on XBH that a guy with a zephyr who had constant e79's took out the standard 1n4148 diodes, and replaced then one at a time with 330 ohm resistors and had luck booting into XBR but still occasionally experienced e79.

[cat100]

Wow if that`s all it is just 330 ohm resistor!. Can anybody check and confirm this. I  see somewhere in a tutorial where that was said but I paid it no attention because 99% of everyother tutorials say diodes.

[b1g1an]

There's also the suggestion to do the diodes as normal but use a 330ohm resistor to join the other two points rather than just wire.
