Thanks! RGH 3 Phat video is up next, just wanted this one out first since this is recommended.

@@MrMario2011 any word on the viper dual NAND V3??? I want to do a dual NAND RGH 3.0

I'm not professional, but I know there's good installers across the pond! They might not make as many videos, though 😅 Thank you!

You can do it!

Great to hear!

@@MrMario2011 i have two jasper big blocks that will instaboot xell but refuses to boot retail. im very frustrate

Absolutely, good advice!

It doesn't help when it's populated next to so many small components!

Glad it helped!

I keep J-Runner running the entire time, more sounds like a J-R Programmer issue there. If you have one around, sure, but that's a good example as to why I don't recommend the older flashers anymore. xFlasher360 and PicoFlasher are fantastic.

@@MrMario2011 thanks for your answer, I edited my comment

Nice work!

more reliable than RGH3 on a fat console too from what I've read

Thanks so much, man 😀

Use dead motherboards and practice soldering onto various components 🙂

Glad this can help!

Nice work!

That's the exact result I've had with my Falcon, it works fine for me but still isn't recommended as a solid solution due to the Phat RGH3 implementation being in beta and unstable. I believe I shared some information about it in this video, but I go into more detail in my upcoming RGH3 Phat video.

@@MrMario2011 would be interesting with details in regards to why it would be unstable once glitched and also an explanation/theory of why it would stop working for some after x amount of time (are we sure that the soldering is solid in those cases?). Also, thanks for creating great video tutorials and for interesting info :)

i´ve done some Falcons, Jaspers which all work. But one Falcon boots only 8 out of 10 times. 2x it freezes, so better RGH 1.2.

Best of luck! Glad you got that sorted.

Thank you! And hrm... Possibly? I haven't heard of that project, but just now looked it up.

Amazing 😂 however yes, the PicoFlasher is fantastic

You ever get it done?

We all have our own ways of doing it! CPU_RST alt point I used can actually be better and has been recommended for stubborn consoles in the past, but it can be harder to solder to due to it being so small. As for GND, a ground is a ground for the most part, I just have a preference for using the motherboard's ground.

Up to you, really. There's nothing wrong with installing a pinheader, but no one really does because it's pretty rare the average user has to reflash their NAND directly to the console like this after the modification has been done. Pinheaders were used for the original Xbox due to modchips cleanly being installed to and connecting to the LPC debug port, but that's not needed for the Xbox 360.

It could be.

@@MrMario2011 I showed a few experts and yes my soldering may be the issue… really need a microscope…lol But I want to let you know I really enjoy your KZfaq videos from the tutorials to mod chat….. thanks man

So happy I never did LPT

Not a frequent watcher of LTT, so I have no idea 😂

@@MrMario2011 If he builds/show somthing 99% of the time het let stuff fall out of his hands or knocks somthing over ;)

That messes with more people than you'd expect! Unfortunately they can usually tell what happened when the console starts smoking.

Not at all. It actually gets deleted with the later version of J-runner with extras once you successfully build an image with cpu key.

Looks like this was answered, glad the video helped!

@@legendofcho Thank you!

Reflash stock NAND, desolder 3v3 from the chip or board, see if it boots stock successfully. If so, resolder the chip, the RGH 1.2 timings should allow stock to boot. If there's an issue, it could be wiring. You could also try to rewrite ECC after this.

@@MrMario2011 thanks for trying but i guess i failed...i cant rebuild the nand because i didnt used the method with ethernet ...so i got no lockdown value(also no photo fo the fuse lines) to build a new nand

Could be related to wire routing or soldering quality, also make sure all the points you soldered to from the chip to the motherboard are accurate. Make sure you're also building your NAND properly as a Glitch2 image.

@@MrMario2011 ok thank you for the answer. I did check everything but I'll check again just in case. I haven't got to the NaND building yet as I don't have the CPU key as Xell won't boot. I have done multiple RGH3 with success but just can't make this 1.2 work ..

@@toplus83 Hello, I have the same problem, did you manage to solve it by checking your welds?

It's linked in my Amazon Shop in the description

Sounds like a bad batch for sure.

Flash original image back over to the console and desolder the Coolrunner wires. If it boots, there was something wrong with your wiring.

Ok thanks I will try that out. But how would I go about flashing the original image back?

Sorry to hear, that's never a good feeling. You can still use the hard drive in another console, or back it up with FATXplorer

thats exactly what i did, and i bought a pre modded 360 so i dont have to even try it again. my main issue was that i dont have the correct soldering heads for such small points so i was just soldering a lot of them together which i guess shorted the board

Don't be stupid and pay attention! There I helped you! 😁👎

A CK3 Lite is for DVD drives, you might be referring to CR3 Lite? If so, I've never done an install with one of those, but I know they are RGH 1.2 compatible. You could try it with DIP switches off, but sorry, I have no experience firsthand with one.

Coolrunner Rev C is what I use.

Color is aesthetic only.

Thanks for sharing

Did you try the other RST point on the bottom of the motherboard? The resistor on top isn't essential, your console will work fine without it.

Thanks for updating us on the issue and fix, good lord that sounds annoying.

RGH3 for Phat consoles is still the same, so my warning on the RGH3 Phat tutorial would still be what I'd echo now.

I've done a few RGH 3 jasper and they always struggle to boot but eventually do. it gets annoying tho. Falcons however have been really great on RGH 3 for me.

It could be wire routing, you could also try a few other timing files as well?

@@MrMario2011 ive tried 2 matrixs with 17-24 and even tried mounting one to the xclamp just to get the shortest wires possible other then power and ground. But it magically boots when i play with the pll wire but when i let it go itll freeze on boot animation.

That's not at all recommended, I've seen multiple people wreck their consoles due to incorrect flux.

I ruined a Zephyr with plumbing flux. It's too strong and will cause corrosion most of the time.

@@ultratechgaming199 that sucks and i just checked the the 1 i KNOW has plumbing flux and still boots :D

I believe those ones use 5V for power, so you would need to use that power source instead.

They didn't issue a new update, but even so the answer would still be yes.

Was wondering too! Scanned the whole video but couldn't find any mention, maybe its just optional?

That one might need a little more heat or time with the iron on it. Although worst case scenario I believe that another GND point, so there's plenty of alternatives for that.

@@MrMario2011 what point is it?

It could be wire routing? That's typically what I've run into when I have freezing.

@@MrMario2011 it just keeps pulsing

You don't dump XeLL, you flash it. You can flash XeLL to the console to get the CPU key, then build a doner NAND using that to flash over.

Standard NAND programmer wires that I soldered sewing needles to and secured with heatshrink tubing.

Thank you

Will a jr programmer work just as well as an xflasher?

Unfortunately you do need an SPI flasher to handle flashing the glitch chip. The Pico is only capable of flashing the console's NAND. As for the other question about the flashers I have no clue.

@@Thats_Cool_Jack yes, i also use the JR programmer for programming the coolrunner

Most likely your wire routing, issue with soldering, or issue with solder quality.

@@MrMario2011 thanks. just found solution. i enable button for slim when set timing. after i change into phat, and set timing, its working. its take time 7 hours for resolder again and again. mistake only on that button.

Try using direct motherboard USB 2.0 ports if possible.

@@MrMario2011 tried and still no luck also used a different USB cable too.

Yep, although I believe that's a 5v chip so you'll have to tap into a 5v signal.

Sorry to hear, hopefully they restock soon. It's the best flasher out there, but it is supplied by one person/shop.

i know, can´t find it anywhere. Only the J-R Flasher on aliexpress, but i´ve heard that this has some trouble with drivers and so.

These days it doesn't matter.

I remember that clearly! So many years later I can confidently say that's not a factor to getting banned. If you check the SecData there is a value which counts how many times the console was booted without a DVD drive, but I've never ever ever ever seen a console banned solely for being turned on without a DVD drive.

Nope, but I recommend my friends over at Octal's Console Shop, The Mod Shop, or Gardendale-Garage!

Sewing needles soldered and heat-shrunk to the ends of my wires.

@@MrMario2011 Any specific type? Seems like a great idea to make reusing the xflasher easier!

I got posted into xell! I had connections around pll/a bridging. Was flashing green b4 fix Edit: for the people this might help. The actual pll wire positioning was giving me the green flashing light if it was too flat. Idk if it's just the cheap wires from the cool runner kit or what but that was giving me trouble and possibly scotch tape can bridge connections. Also my pll connection is in a glob of solder bridging with the black resistor on the bottom lol I have no idea how it's working. I've had way better solder joints to pll but none em were working so just keep at it! I respositions the wire to under the cooler brackets instead of the wrap around mr mario shows. Seems slightly easier bc there isn't a pad u can bridge with but having that wire next to the hot brackets could be risky.

You're not wrong.

@@MrMario2011 how do you think I can mod my 360 now lol. I got a mint jasper and a falcon with intermittent disc drive sitting cant mod 😵‍💫😔. Hopefully soon lol

Might indeed be worth it with a different chip. I still love the CR Rec C all these years later for Phat installs.

And you didnt change any of the jrunner settings or you followed the tutorial in the same way as using Coolrunner?

@@Henry-vg6wn kept J-Runner settings the same and followed the tutorial in the same way. It is definitely a case where the console itself is stubborn. Have got it glitching a few times but it took hours to do so.

DirtyPico360

@@MrMario2011 Thank you ill look into it

Make sure stock NAND is flashed over, desolder power from the CoolRunner and boot up the console. If it still boots stock NAND successfully, you would probably have to continue on with the top side CLK point which you can look up, it's near the ANA chip but it is harder to solder to. If the console isn't turning on at all, you would have to perform trace repair to FT2R2.

Lol same

I just did my Jasper with RGH3 and it's pretty good so far, instaboots all the time

It sounds like you went with RGH 3.0?

@@MrMario2011 yes and they've been very stable and quick to boot. I had to play a bit more with the resistor value on the Falcon but it's just as good. The biggest head scratcher was on the 256 mb Jasper where it wouldn't boot after flashing the mod. Had to restore to stock, boot and delete my user data from the inbuilt storage and redo the mod. It worked perfectly after that. As far as RGHs go, it's the third one, for my consoles ( Pico, resistor, diode, good soldering, shrink tube on components and kapton tape ).

wich wires go to where on the pico?

u may need to commect dvd drive u know?

@@plumbnebula5741 Thanks, will try also.

Make sure drivers are correctly installed, the wires are correctly placed on the chip, and it is in programming mode.

@@MrMario2011 I have the jr drivers installed and all of the switches are in the right spot and All of the wires are in the right spot without any pins damged

Did u try prying it open

Yeah

@@MrMario2011 Thank you

Console needs to be hooked up to power. If it is, then the issue is probably soldering quality.

None. Load NAND and then write it.

Chip probably works, but you will need to reflash the chip and it would be advised to also reflash the NAND for SMC+

Yep, just set up a hard drive with Aurora and such. I've got a video covering that.

You have to program the CoolRunner with a timing file, as shown in the video. The PicoFlasher cannot program the CoolRunner.

@@MrMario2011 Okay thanks!

idk if my comment is getting flagged as spam or what. Watch a vid in spanish called _RECUPERA CUALQUIER XBOX 360 + NAND DONADA AUTOMATICA_ Which means RECOVER ANY XBOX 360 + DONATED NANDS AUTOMATIC. Its a video about recovering/making a new nand, but you would need to ENABLE ENGLISH CAPTIONS to follow through. Its a video on how to CREATE a NAND from scratch.

@scipanovgenadij7732 Check the vids description box also, it has the files to work with. I believe it can help you recover your 360. I tried replying on another vid you posted your issue, but my comment was not going through for some reason idk! Good luck!

Then I'm not sure what this video will serve?

@@MrMario2011 I ment if i wanted to update from RGH to RGH 1.2?

Steps are mostly the same. Rewire the glitch chip as needed, reflash the timing file, then build and flash a proper NAND update. The main difference is you don't need to start with stock or flash XeLL to get the CPU key since you already have all that.

Nope, EXT_CLK method is recommended for Xenon and Zephyr.

Yep!

im trying to reuse a matrix glitcher off of a rgh xbox that died

@@ivanguzenko4645 erm

maybe u broke a trace?

Yes

Certainly!
