Thats not what he is saying. There are several threads about routing your wires in certain ways and to keep the wiring from certain places. Sometimes it helps but all this mess is still up in the air imho. I just think its the nature of the hack in where some 360's just handle it much better than others but again idk.

Yep im sorry, that was my mistake. I didnt see the x in front of glitch chip and just saw glitch chip. I thought he was just talking about glitch chips in gerneral. My mistake.

I bet you did not use Search. The topic with a fix is several treads below this - http://www.xboxhacker.org/index.php?topic=17434.0.
Had the same problem, it's white chineese chip problem.

Did i miss something here?? Ive read over his post several times and never once saw where he said he used that cpld. So which leads me to think that may not be his problem. Now if he IS infact using this cpld then you just got extremly lucky with you post.

edit:damn he replyed while i was making my post....lucky guess huh.

Honestly this kind of thing is normal from what ive seen around. Just look around and use some of the different methods of getting better boot times and such. Some ppl lengthen some wires, others loop them around things, some add caps to different spots, it just seems that everybody's 360 is different. No 2 are alike. Just look around and im sure you will find an almost unlimited amount of info on this kind of thing. Just try each one till you find what works for you.

My slim for example has horrible boot times when its cold(hasnt run for about a day) but after that first boot it will boot consistantly around 20-30sec every boot for the rest of the day. Its just that first boot that it doesnt like. I can sit there for 5 min sometimes before i have to shut it down and try again but after that first one i have zero issues the rest of the day.

The way i look at it is, this hack is a "glitch" on the system so it cant possibly ever be perfect like we all would like. I honestly dont think it will ever be perfect or that we will EVER find that "one certain thing" that makes it perfect. Good luck though. Im not trying to talk $#!t about the hack because its one of the best things we have seen in the 360 world and its opened up a whole new world for us. But it is what it is......a "glitch".

Yes it looks to me like it can be repaired but like l_oliveira said, its gonna be fugly:P. But hey if it works then who cares?? We've all done things like this before(i know i have) but its all part of the learning process.

I personally learned on old xbox1s. I couldnt begin to tell you how many ive destroyed and had to trash. I didnt take anybody's advice to learn on an old pcb, i jumped right on the xbox with absolute ZERO soldering exp. But i took the hard road in learning to solder and to tell you the truth i believe i have become much better at it because of that.

Honestly the traces dont look that bad to me. Just use some kynar to scab the traces and use some good flux. After you think you have it right text it with a multimeter and if all is well hot glue the $#!t out of it. Just be sure to take your time on it and you can get it if your hands are steady enough.

ps: I love hot glue too backinblack. I dont think i could ever solder again if i knew i had to go at it without hot glue. Its God's gift to us geeks:P.

All i did was google your exact question. I was simply amazed at the results .

Wow ive never heard of it taking that long through xell. I can download mine in around a min or so. Something is wrong there for it to be taking that long.

Well from my exp. when its glitching fast instead of every 5 sec or so then its something in your wiring. Check that and re-solder to see if that helps, like i said ive had that happen on me a few times and it always leads back to my wiring.

Well if you are going to trust anybody with building you an image phonsey would be the one. Good thing you got it to atleast boot xell though.

What do you want to program?? The coolrunner?? If so just build the LPT jtag programmer. Its what i have used on all the cplds ive put in ppl's xboxes so i know it works good.

Have you checked your cb to see if you can glitch it?? Also if you need any help i have 2 doners i can send you from another 512 jasper or i could just help you build an image with parts from your nand.

Yes i just put them both to 100%. You can put yours to whatever you want but honestly i would move them together because well, theres only one fan in the slims.

But as for the differences in the nand images what did you think would happen(key word coming up)after you "edited" the nand image?? Yes its safe to flash and for some unseen reason it doesnt work you can always just flash your original back, but im sure you wont have to resort to that.

I could be completly wrong but from what ive read this only affects phats. Aggain i could be all wrong but it doesnt hurt to try if you have allready updated.

Well idk about any of the patches around but you can just use flashtool to set your speeds to whatever you want. I did it on my slim and they NEVER go above 50c even under a load, pretty good temps id say.

What did you do arakon? Did you just flash the same pic on your usb flasher and hook it to the usb port on the ps3 or what?

Just try it and if it dont work then flash back. Its not rocket science.

Here you go. I just uploaded it on megaupload so if the mods or phonsey want to then they can update the first post with this link.

ok i have a 256 too.

Either way its no good but just give it time. phonsey is good and im really suprised it took him this long to take up this task anyways. he will have one soon. just be patient.

yea if you read a couple posts up you will allready see that it doesnt work.
i let phonsey know and he will most likely have one built soon.
by the way do you have a 256 or 512? also how are you flashing the image?

Try build 35 because i dont think the one he has uploaded supports bb images. I use build 35 with all my bb images and it works perfecly
