E-79 is still an issues, but the last console I did I replaced the jumper with a 100ohm resistor and fixed my E-79 errors

can you avoid E79 using a modchip vs. using wires? my soldering is top notch and i still get E79 once in a while, usually after the 360 is unplugged for too long
If you get random e79s with a Zephyr its a bug in Xbreboot not in the wiring.

I'm considering picking this up to mess with instead of building one since I'm clumsy, but I'm confused by what the quick-solder pads means?

And now without the dual nand its just another usb flasher

Too late. I was holding out for one these 2 months ago but not anymore.

Yes, does that mean that this "single" NAND is _JUST_ a flasher? i.e. No cygnos NAND anymore? As far as I knew, the cygnos only had 1 NAND to begin with, if you take that one away, then only the XBOX's NAND is left. Is this correct, or is just the functionality for dual NAND missing?
Also, it says to dump a 16MB NAND, it takes 2 mintues? It only takes like 20 seconds on the ones out now.

What exactly does the quicksolder pads mean?

I wouldn't buy this if it really only flashes the XBOX NAND. Anyways, these are just spots you solder directly from the Cygnos to the motherboard. This can already be done however, you don't have to use the top of the board if you are using 30awg for those spots (they fit anyhow).

I have my full stock of cygnos Rev F, anyone have the install manual???? they still dont have them online

Looks like the installation is identical, just have the quick solder pads for JTAG. I would still think you have to short 2 of those JTAG quick pads, not sure though. Of course, what about using diodes or resistors with the new JTAG quick pads? Unless by some miracle you will never need them again, you will not have much room to install them. And yes, it would be nice to have a manual for a product you are selling! I don't see it listed either on their server. I do see "lt.rar" though, and it's encrypted. Of course, they wouldn't have anything related to piracy or security circumvention in that file, they are so honest right? (That _IS_ a joke ) http://www.cygnos360.com/Downloads/

what is the purpose of having the cygnos anymore? it doesn't make it so you can get online , and switching to you onboard nand won't help you in anyway. Someone please tell me why this thing even matters anymore. just looks like a lot more work too me , so you can have a blue light.
I suppose the only argument to have it now is once installed, you have an extremely neat install to reflash via USB should you ever need to again without opening the console. It reads/writes a 16MB NAND in about 35 seconds too, so it's quick.
It's pretty permanent too - you wouldn't want to be removing this once it's in place and if your soldering's not up to much I'd avoid. Quick solder pads are hit and miss unless you have the right tools.

So before the 1bl update you could switch it off and still get on LIVE? Like the old xbox days with a modchip? I never played live on the original , so i just softmodded or TSOP flashed , but i know you could do that. Sounds like this is just a built in USB flasher then at this point , keeping it alive is still good in case someday they can hack the new dash....I know the talk is that they never will but they say that every single time something "breaks" for homebrew and eventually they figure it out.

Not really, it was never really an offline/online solution. Firstly the drive was always flashed regardless and any change to the eFuses would render the other install useless.

what do you mean the drive was always flashed? I understand what you mean about the efuse change , which makes this device just a little more pointlesss , guess it might be useful if your nand went bad and was still exploitable. I haven't been flashing the drives in the Jtag xboxes , you don't HAVE too , only to play burned games. and i know the point of modchips on the original was to let you get online with your original flash , you could even split the TSOP with a wire and switch on the 1mb chips , so you could have stock , and with the softmod it used a shadow c drive , and i never flashed a single xbox original drive ever , not even once , never needed too.

Your reply's confused me so I'll refrain from tearing chunks out of it and instead can you explain what you're trying to say?

Me too. This is just too little, too late. I already flashed my BB Jasper with XBR3 and haven't looked back since. I thought the second NAND was for Xbox Live but apparently it didn't work anyways.
I will get a Valhalla chipset for Live later this year when they launch and hopefully drop the price.
