NandPro: LPT and USB nand flash programmer with only 7 wires

[thepita23]

xell_ecc.bin worked properly here...
Used this command to flash it:

Code:

NandPro.exe lpt: -w16 xell_ecc.bin 40 9

Can someone please re-upload the file. Rapidshare is bad. I tried the link someone else posted but xell_ecc.bin was not in the folder

Hi guys,

I used NAND Checker 1.1 on my nand and got 0 bad pages, however when i flash my xbox with the nand i get no picture. The console starts up, but no video. Also i got no read errors when dumping the nand, neither did i get any errors writing it. Any ideas why it doesnt work ?

xenon_hacked.bin works perfectly btw

If I remember well, there was another user with your same problem... For fix the problem he has just re-flashed again the xbox nand... Nothing more nothing less.. Hope this help

[gupek]

better is to erase before writting then U have sure...

[maximilian0017]

so in my example the problem was a bad flash, why?
becasue when i flashed first time i was disconecting and conecting keyboard, mouse, monitor from motherboard of PC...!!!

Personally i would CLOSE EVERY AND ALL PROGRAMS before reading/writing the NAND (Yes, even al the programs from the taskbar next to the clock!!)

Germania posted a little kown fact that Windows XP polls the Paralel port from time to time for new printers, this could also interfere with the reading/writing the NAND.
(knew that one just didnt think of it, Germania +1  )

You can make a regfile so you can easy disable polling:
1. Open Notepad and cut/paste the following text:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\Parport\Parameters]
"DisableWarmPoll"=dword:00000001


2. Save the file as XPDisablePolling.reg
3. Doubleclick the new file and click YES to enter in the registry, dont forget to reboot.
Done!!
(tried to add a .reg or .txt file but it didnt stick )

Finally got this thing to give me the correct flashconfig (had to move the diode from the db25 to the board), and its dumping but I get bad blocks. I've read this whole thread but I still don't know if this is good or bad..

FlashConfig:01198010
Starting Block:0x000000
Ending   Block:0x0003FF
Press any key to begin reading nand
Error: 250 reading block F
Error: 250 reading block 39
Error: 250 reading block 161
Error: 250 reading block 1A3
03FF

If I open the nand with the infectus tool it says 8 bad pages. If i look at the detailed log there are 8 bad blocks. crc is always same every time i dumped it.
I've tried 4 different pc's and got the same result. The 5th just didnt work at all 

[Helltick]

with infectus tool how many empty pages did you get?

[Arakon]

bad blocks are perfectly normal on NAND chips.

[hordak]

1522 empty pages

[Helltick]

hmm, mine was:

total pages: 32768
bad pages: 2
empty pages: 1475

detailed log:
Bad Block at 0x837C00
Bad Block at 0x837E10

i flashed mine back and it worked fine.
dont know, but maybe someone else here does.

I have been testing this weekend how the LPT cable works, and i must say a couple of things that i hope helps someone

First i did the LPT cable without the diode... i tested it in 5 different PCS (old and new hardware, only 1 of them was a laptop) in every LPT mode.... none of them works
After that... i sodered the diode (1N4148... the same that 1N914) and it worked

This is because i think that the diode is mandatory (not optional)... maybe the diode is needed in some cables (not related to the PC hardware.. but the quality of the cable) im not sure.. but for me without the diode the only thing that i had was a big headache making tests with 5 PCs

---------------------------------------------------------------
I did 2 dumps in 2 differents PC (without turning on the 360) , and i compare them in binary (with ultraedit32) the result was: 0 different bytes between them (exactly the same data)
Then i wrote 1 valid dump that i did months ago... perfect writing... 0 errors
Then i wrote another valid dump... perfect writing... 0 errors

The cable, and the program works perfect in my xenon... 0 total errors in all tests

*I can confirm that the 360 writes the nand in every reboot... if you want to make 2 dumps (to compare them) dont turn on the 360... you can do all in standby

--------------------------------------------------------------

One pic of my install with the diode (for the tests)



After the tests... im sure that this works great and i soldered 7 pins for easy connect/disconnect of cable



*Some tips to solder the pins
-First of all... cut all the 7 pins to the same lenght (you have pins in a lot of PC hardware)
-Some holes are harder than others, because ones can dissipate the heat better (this ones are harder to melt)
-If you are having problems with one of them... use "solder wick" & "flux" to remove all tin
-Microsoft tin is hard to melt... add more tin to melt better

P.D.
Sorry if the pics are too big, i cant find an "spoiler code", please edit this message if neccesary
You can use the pics for whatever

[Helltick]

i dont think anyone r\w the nand with the 360 turned on...maybe, but yeah just needs to be plugged in.
you can resize your pics in paint.

[l_oliveira]

If you try to read/write while the power is on, it will shut down everything but the RF module (blinking lights will stay blinking or in whatever state they were before it was shut down) and the other stuff that gets power while it's in standby ...

I don't think it damages anything but could cause corruption to the nand data (just like a blackout would if you were saving any changes to the system configuration and power got cut at the "right moment" to cause damage...

btw  Heavily modded system, Sandungas... Care about posting more photos of it elsewhere ?

iirc, Tiros said that it doesn't matter if you flashed it while your Xbox is running or not

[Helltick]

maybe thats why i got my 2 bad blocks.
i did both read and write in standby.

[sandungas]

But is better to make all in standby
Even... you can make a dump in standby.. and when the dump finish.. the 360 remains in standy... in this moment, you can disconnet the power cable (turned off)
After this, you can connect it to another pc or whatever... then plug in the power cable (standby).. and write or read...
All is doing in standby.. and this assure you exactly the same data in all dumps

Is not finished yet, is a big mod (included an aluminiun case)
If some day i can finish it.. i will post pics in this forum
