it still mystifies me why people flash over their nand without 100% matching dumps

nandcompare is a good idea but complete bull$#!t if you ask me and i wouold never ever flash an image that was built with it.

without the correct hand image how do you know that the compiled image is the same? you dont!!

and as for the dash loading ok that means nothing wait til you try to use a file in the NAND that has bits missing or corrupt.

anyways you have lifted the top ring of the JTAG point? have you tried the same hole on the underside of the board?

on the underside there are traces leading to the southbridge, if ypu GENTLY scrape one of the traces to expose the copper line without breaking it you can tack the line to the trace.

but to be honest if you f***ed the pad up, you have no chance of tacking to a trace without doing even more damage, perhaps best to give ot to some1 who wont mess it up no offence.

the dash you are afraid of loading was found on your NAND chip before you flashed XBR, not on your hard drive.

removing r6t3 is optional, ive done several systems now without removing it with no problems (wont know until next dash update for sure)

any updates taken in the XBR environment will blow virtual fuses, not the real ones so you should be ok, but in long term may be bestto do so.

if you need it back you can solder in a resistor or a switch, then remove when done yes.

i used CONsign

on xbins

and used the kv.bin from my new console that i wanted the games to load

also had to use oldest 360flashtool to extract kv.bin as the newer ones wouldnt extract it correctly due to an offset error.

you need to run the saves through con resigner not con flag remover

obtain kv from new system and use it with app to resign saves to your new consoleid then they will load

it is in fact the beginning of RROD, iff the system was to run for long enough it would eventually RROD

to fix reflow the GPU and do an xclamp mod

check the kernal revision of dash in system settings

if it is 7371 or lower you can get the dvd key from the mobo by dumping the NAND

tuts for that on the forum or see http://free60.org

depends on the depth and size of scratch, most likely no

the media update can be found online if you look im not providing links as it is illegal to do so.

it can be put on your HDD with a transfer cable withou having to go near live.

i may be wrong but i think u can take the NAND dump from the good console and encrypt it with the CPU key of the knackered one and put it into it, cloning the good 360 if you will, in the same way that some people have unbanned their consoles.

defo wouldnt work on live if the first has been on live.

if i am wrong i apologise and hope that some1 more in the know corrects me, but i think im right!!

banned consoles lose the ability to create signed content so may stop you from being able to creat new profiles dont knoiw never tried it on my banned console

try dumping the NAND and using findsecdata to set your secdata to 00000 to see if that allows you to create new profiles

tuts for that are on the forum use the search

i already answered you with the ONLY way to recover the drive

10 sec trick with a via chipset will allow you to flash over the bricked drive with the correct fw

put dosflash16 and ripping fw onto bootable media

boot to dos and type dosflash

when you get option to choose port turn drive off wait 10 secs power on then hit button to flash

thats why i remove the board completely when soldering up, then mask and replace when done.

wow what a stupid post!!!

blaming the app for your drive breaking? wtf

how could that even be possible?? lol

use 10 sec trick with a via chipset to flash the correct fw to the drive

or even better give it to some1 who knows what they are doing because you clearly dont.

could it be copied to a memory unit on another console then copied to your own using the dash file manager?

yes black end towards mobo

create your 1.61 CFW file in JF but save it to bootable USB and use dosflash16 to write to the drive in dos erase drive also before flash

long shot but hey might work

activation disc only works on 1.6 fw and above if i recall correctly if he has older fw it will not do anything.

just update your fw or get some1 to do it for you if you cannot do it yourself.

slax fits onto a standard cd-r

back in the day i wrote a simple tutorial on how to change a dvd key for a hitachi using flashsec in dos it has the commands and sectors where to flash hopefully this will be of use to you

long before the point and click apps we love!
