Which parts do i need for the JTAG-hack?

[jelle2503]

note that the pic sais "new xenon points"

and why else would i say the 330ohm are not required... so you can use them in your hack? your logics is confusing me

[BDHTagger]

I just want to know 4 sure .

But I have a little problem.

I planned to buy 1 diode, I bougth 2 in case 1 is failing or whatever, so I will receive 2 today.

But the new Xenon diagram needs 2 and the LPT cable needs 1, so I need 1 more.

Now I heard that the one from the LPT cable is optional (more a fix for those who had trouble), so in first instance, I can try with 2 diodes (soldering them like the new Xenon diagram) right?

Can someone confirm this?

And (I think) my last question: it is http://i.imgur.com/Fdjmi.png or http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/xbox360/free60/diagram.jpg right? I don't know what's the one I have in my box, but it can't be both right?

[jelle2503]

the first one sais Xenon.. so it's Xenon apparently

second diagram is for the rest

my LPT cable did not require a diode, got 2 identical dumps without:

could you really not read through this forum free60 or xbox-scene? pretty much every question you asked has been answered already, or is explained.

Alright, everything is going to be clear for me now...

I just opened my Xbox to look what's inside (not the first time for me, but I can't remember what's on my motherboard exactly).

At this picture: http://pictures.xbox-scene.com/xbox360/free60/diagram.jpg, they're pointing at the wireless-receiver. I can solder directly on the motherboard right (where the plug for the receiver is soldered)? That's because I think it will be better to keep everything in one piece instead of soldering onto swappable pieces.

im also from the netherlands and dont know the translation of jumper wire :S is it normally kynar wire?

[BDHTagger]

Should be just a normal wire to bridge the two points i guess. I'm having big trouble soldering the db1f1 point. Someone got an idea how to fix this?

[jelle2503]

did you add some tin yet? MS tin sucks and takes a long time to heat up and flow

[MastaG]

I don't have switching diodes, only 100Ohm caps.
Could I just put 3 of those in a row and use the old diagram?
That would create 300Ohm resistance on each point only 30Ohms less.. or wouldnt it be safe?

[jelle2503]

resistors in serie, are still not a diode

[MastaG]

I know, but I don't have the diodes and the old diagram shows that it works using 330 Ohm caps.
The wiki on free60.org says "The SMC Hack requires bridging 3 points on the motherboard with 330 Ohm or higher resistors as well as having a way to interface with your Flash", so maybe I should put 4 in a row since my meter shows that my caps are a little less than 100 Ohm.
4 of them would make 380 Ohm which would be a little more safe I guess.

[BDHTagger]

Well, you could, but a diode is recommended.

Don't try to do everything hurried. I didn't have everything either, I just had to buy some things...

I still did not finish my Xbox 360. Currently preparing my test-PC, and busy for school etc.

I also have a new hobby: buying cheap Xbox 360's with RROD, and fix em. Bought 1, fixed 1, only for € 25,- (with PSU) .
