Sounds like they think your soldering is the problem. Do you know anyone who can solder well? Id offer to, but Im a bit far away

Not really, Im going to redo everything when I get out of work at 2 am and see if I can clean stuff up. Hopefully that will fix everything.

^^ This one went out in the first batch, yours was in the second, so it cant be yours

Mine was 2nd batch and i got mine, and i'm in Australia.

Got my flasher working, although i have a dead 360 wont boot or anything flashed the wrong XBR image (with LPT) onto my falcon (flashed xenon *sigh*) and now i have a dead 360 can't short out nand or anything. Was wondering if i can use this new flasher to fix it somehow?

Darth, when I went "^^" I was referring to the post directly above (JeffJ2).

And yes, you should be able to fix that by plugging the xbox in and simply reflashing a backup to the nand (if I understand your problem correctly).

@AfterTheInsanity

So is there gonna be a next round to be sold or no? I have read through a lot of posts and my eyes are starting to hurt. If there is going to be a next round, I would love to be included. I am quick on the payment and have no prob waiting til the next batch is ready to go. Let me know. Thanks

AfterTheInsanity · « **Reply #263 on:** February 16, 2010, 12:18:00 PM »

Short answer: yes, at some point over the next month or two

Long answer: the first batch took way more time, money, and effort than I planned, and I put off a lot of personal stuff during the first batch, so Im taking some time right now to catch up, and Nathan of SparkFun is helping me with the next revision, all of which takes time too. Finally, once I do send the gerbers out, it will be at least a few weeks before the actual boards come in, and then I have to populate and test them.

However, this time, Im not going to be taking anything more than 'Im interested' until I have the boards ready to ship. To prevent people from getting pissy that its taking longer than it should (which I can understand, but at the same time, being pissy doesnt get the job done faster), Im not going to take any sort of pre-order or money up front until they are ready to ship.

Phew.

Still waiting fr mine should I have recieied it by now? (Waterville NY 13480)

I expected most of the flashers to be delivered by now, but my list is less than half received, which surprises me.

It is possible that yours was the one that had the 'To' label come off -> I started the site to figure out whos this was

I can't do that because its not showing up in nandpro due to it being dead. So i've bought a Cygnos360 that should fix my problem

It's possible that more than one came off. Because mine was half way off when i received, so i was lucky.

Dead or not, you can usually still read and write the flash. Unless the actual chip is broken, or there is physical damage, it can almost always be fixed. For example, I powered the nand off a computer PSU when testing the boards, as I didnt have a proper power cable for a day.

Can you explain how exactly its 'dead'?

brando56894 · « **Reply #268 on:** February 17, 2010, 09:04:00 AM »

mine also appears to be "dead" or maybe "undead" since it turns on but just flashes at me and does nothing else. My dumps are fine and my connections look fine (ex. not shorted out anywhere) but it wont boot at all, it just gives me three flashing red lights. Even with the original nand and no wires connected it just flashes red. I cant figure out whats causing it.

brando56894 · « **Reply #269 on:** February 17, 2010, 09:52:00 PM »

Apparently Its my soldering is grounding stuff out since I've been getting flamed constantly for it over on xbox hacker. I created a thread over there like ATI suggested and about 50-75% of the posts are flaming me and pretty much say "youre horrible at soldering give up" and maybe 25% are actually slightly useful.

I did clean up some stray solder but I cant tell if my FT1U2 Trace is clean or not (meaning not grounding out)
