Welp, I'd like to ask where "I" said I was using the command that wasn't made for that specific drive model?

I indeed told HOW TO get the spi unlocked.. but again, I said that "i've seen" drives with unlocked spi but I guess I forgot to be more specific.. it was unlocked by some clueless n00b?

Either way, I don't care. Play the smart ass, play the dumb, I don't *really* care, and I hope my info can help someone.

Peace out

el oh el...

So here it goes again.. Anyone feel free to test it then

Erase a dg-16d2s board in jungleflasher, power it off, hit intro, power it on. You'll notice the 0x00 button will appear in jf. Write fw 0251 in the drive and hit the 0x00 button
BAM, the spi is screwed now. Only way to dump or erase the drive is using MRA.

Of course I know one shouldn't ever hit the 0x00 while playing with dg-16d2s boards.. it's just an example to how to get the spi unlocked. Yes despite what jf will say, unlocked. That 0x00h button was intended only for DG-16D4S boards/replacement boards!

and for those wondering, I've seen drives with unlocked spi with proper firmware and key installed to it. Don't ask me how but yes, its possible.

Also, I know about mtx01 way before it got public so I'm not MRA'ng anything.. unless strictly required.

@ phonsey, absolutelly no strings attached mate... take my words as a single heads up - about what you said about fatkey.. heh, take a spare drive and just try what I just said. Good luck with phatkey!

@ ttz: Thanks for the support heh, but again, I stand correct. - Check page 10 of the latest jungleflasher tutorial - It says -" if you see this ... it's a pain to unlock..." - Author just forgot to mention "pain to unlock" aka MRA... maybe someone was expecting to offer the job for some bucks? Who knows? Sorry if I dropped some water inside the boat, but again, All the info should be free!

@ grandmaster: as if I would take consoles from anyone for repairs. LOL

Peace everyone, and again, it's all about knowledge and good information.

Phonsey: Go study abit about DG-16D2S and then come back here to tell what do you got.. But i'll give you a hint. DG-16D2S SPI IS locked by default. We dump it due an exploit to unlock it. That's why the only way to dump the key from a DG-16D2S when the SPI is *UNLOCKED* is by mra. All the tools will try to run the exploit, which will fail.
I've been checking some threads.. and all the ones you replied I can see nothing but bull*hit instead of knowledge and/or good info which I think its the main purprose of this forum.

So PLEASE, stop being a smartass.. and oh, you're welcome for the tip that I just gave you.

You say you glitched the box so why on earth you need a donor nand? You're going to use it as stock?

Either way, use xebuild, and read the readme.txt file included in the package.

You can use whatever kv you want in your console if it's glitched. If you want a stock nand, extract your stock files from .ecc file given you used your original nand to build the ecc image
Remember, you'll need your stock ORIGINAL kv.bin, fcrt.bin AND smc_config.bin

Good luck after reading!

@ proconsoles: You're welcome!


Hah! When you get a DG-16D2S with unlocked SPI, the only way to get it in vendor mode is MRA.

Try a smaller resistor. I used to do mra with 15ohm

k0mpressed: What's the value for C58? (the larger cap) - Thank you in advance!

That's the easy way uh?

Aren't you curious?

Howdy everyone!

I've got a slim here that the ROL seens to work fine, power, eject.. but it doesn't sync with any controller.
Anyone ever faced it? I already tried to put it in another slim and the same thing happened.

Thanks for any help xD

No. It's plain and simple - Refurbished console!

What's new here? How come this can be safier than any other method? I don't get it...
Like, it's cool and such you can build your own tools but telling its any better than the already available tools (with a much better design btw) is pure bull..

Please move along, stop screwing brazilians reputation with your garbage.

Thank you for your eforts raven... but no joy.
Yes, I've used a 10kohm resistor, was just a typo

I went rampage and replaced the cpu.. still no joy (before anyone scream, I've reflashed the nand to match cpu as well)
So it's not a problem with cpu either... maybe sb? Some says it's not because I was able to read the post out.. in my case, 3rl at 28 seconds - throws 0xAE - CB panic

El oh el.. at least in my case, it's not a simple matter of replacing the pll_resistor.

I hope anyone is able to find a cure for this cancer! lol

Best wishes for all...

Tried what galo said without any hope but again... I'm bored and got nothing better to do xD
Again, no results.. soldered back another smd resistor with exact 10ohm, still no joy.

Pll fix you said? What exactly is it?

Welp, tried this...
Took me 10 mins to take the smd resistor from a falcon board, clean it and install in the jasper board - No joy

Hope someone find a solution.. but I've heard it's the input diode inside the cpu that's burned.
Good luck for everyone suffering this problem!

Howdy everyone..
I was bored and started to mess with dead/problematic controllers... I found a working controller in the pile but.. the start doesn't work.
Things I already tried:

- Replaced the battery
- Replaced the conductive rubber

Any tips?

Edit - Nevermind - it was just cold solder! - Fixed \o/

xboxguru: try cleaning the area with rubbing alcohol. Sometimes flux can cause unoticiable shorts. Been there, done that! Also check the resistor over the point.. looks like it's shorted?

Mr. Almight! Merry Xmas and happy new year! 

Alter: credits where due mate! Your MUUUUUUUUUUUCH EASIER point spoted was found by SpkLeader - That's his pic you got from a link hes posted on irc :/

Fixed it! - it was the driver. Replaced it by the one from a kamikazed pcb.. et voila!

Gavingt: As I already said, I replaced the drive in the console. Worked fine. So it's not a problem with the console. White sticker.. both in the console and drive. I just tried the drive again, looks like 3.3v is screwed somehow... any advices?

Thank you!
