Hello,

I have a dual NAND RGH Trinity console. It has a Cygnos360 NAND PCB & A TX Cool Runner Revision C.

A few months ago my friend thought it would be funny to try and connect the RGH NAND to Xbox Live. I ended up getting console banned with both NANDs.

Me being a noob with RGHing and how everything worked went to go and try to turn the Xbox Live safe NAND into a RGH NAND. I made a RGH NAND image and flashed it to the Xbox Live safe NAND without removing the relay setup from the Cygnos360 & TX Cool Runner. When I tried to boot the console into the Xbox Live safe NAND I got a solid red light in the center of the ROL board.

I think I bricked the Xbox Live safe NAND and I really want to fix it. I know the Xbox Live safe NAND has been banned but I want to turn it into another RGH NAND so I can run the TX Fusion on it.

To make things even worse I had my original NAND dump uploaded to MediaFire and I guess it got shut down by the FBI. The good thing is that the password to the file was the CPU Key & I happen to still have it saved in my email.

If anyone could help me get things straightened out and both the NANDs booting into RGH mode I would really appreciate it. I am really good at soldering but I will still need some guidance as far as graphs or pictures to remove the relay switch. I am also really good with computers but I will need some guidance with what to do.

- Rambo

Cygnos is a spi nandflasher aswell, you can use cygnos toolbox to read and write your nands via PC.

Yes but from what I understand I need to remove the relay switch setup to be able to turn the retail NAND to a RGH NAND. If its not possible I could still use one NAND, but It would be nice to run something like TX fusion on one and have a normal RGH setup on the other instead of having a useless bricked NAND.

Remove the relay Completely, then solder the coolrunner ground to av port 3v3 to the motherboard

Ok thank you so much:) Ill probably do it tomorrow night when I have time! I emailed you a day or 2 ago and once I remove the relay I'll need you to show me how to update the RGHNANd that isn't bricked & also show me how to setup TX fusion on the new NAND that I'll hopefully be able to un brick!

Ok so from what it looks like I have to remove the blue wire completely from the relay switch that also connects to the actual cygnos switch. I think I also have connect the brown, purple, and red wires to the actual motherboard itself. Am I right?

When i said completely, thats what i ment (all wires + relay itself nned to be removed).

Once you have done that you solder the coolrunner to its normal spots for 3v3 & GND.

Cant see pics.. but that should be all you need to do.
