when i try and boot it it starts and right before the xbox 360 logo is done at the beginning it goes to e79 everytime in the same spot
I have been searching for several days trying to find solution to my problem. This thread comes as close to my issue as I can find. Here's a little history on what I've done/tried.
This falcon console came in a shipment of broken consoles I received a couple months back. BEFORE any type of jtaging was done to it, sometimes it boot up to dash long enough to start a game and make it to the "Press Start" screen and then freeze up. After a power cycle, it would show E79 and sometimes E71.
I had already JTAG'd a couple other consoles and I was pretty confident that there were some bad blocks in it. I had read that Xellous will remap those blocks while writing the freeBOOT image to the nand. So I proceeded to JTAG it, dump the nand, write free60.bin to it get my CPU/DVD keys. It booted into Xellous just fine and I was able to read the fullnand via firefox. However on the tv it screen to show bad blocks at 20f, 24b, and 25b. I wasn't worried cuz the tut I used said to only worry about the 1st 2mb of the nand read. (C1.bin file)
I got my full flashdmp.bin file (made a few copies and compared via hex editor with no differences found) wrote the C1.bin to 1 of these files and proceeded to make my freeBOOT image with the Bestpig toolbox. Still working on this with no problems. Renamed it to updflash.bin put it on root of a usb drive and plugged it into my xbox.
Booted up the xbox and xellous found the update and updated. xellous found the same bad blocks (20f, 24b,25b) and moved them to the end of the nand. Powered down removed usb drive. Powered back on lights turn green and start to spin around the ROL and about half way thru the xbox logo screen it stops and goes to a black screen showing E79 (and obviously 1 red light too)
I found a tut showing how to use a donor nand (the 1st falcon I did has the same CB version 5761) so proceeded to follow it by extracting the key vault from orignand.bin using 360 Flash tool and then injecting it into donor nand. I erased the entire nand before rewriting the donor nand to the nand. I received error 202 erasing block 24b and 25b. (I kinda expected that though) Before writing the donor nand, I read all 3 bad blocks, zeroed them out and then rewrote them to 3FF, 3FE, and 3FD. Then I wrote the donor nand to the nand.
While it was writing, I tried to create my freeBOOT image using Bestpig toolbox using my new "donor nand" dump. It stopped at 38% and said something like nand dump not extracted properly. So I used the orignand.bin file to create my freeboot image. It made it just fine. Booted console to xellous with new "donor nand" and updated to freeBOOT via usb drive. and same issue....starts to boot up, shows xbox logo and then goes to black screen with E79.
I have also tried resistors instead of diodes, used a plain wire, 100ohm. 330 ohm, and 470 ohm resistors for the bridge between j2d2.4 and j2d2.7. and many different combinations of the above options.
I'm tired of struggling with this console...but I would really like to get some money out of it too. So any help someone can give me would be appreciated. I'm even willing to paypal someone some money if their solution fixes it. Cuz this console is basically free money to me since it's been laying around collecting dust for 4-5 months.
