I appreciate the replies, but guys think about it...I have definitely jtagged from the cmd prompt and also way back when I originally jtagged this particular one with the e79 I did in fact save my kv. That doesn't help as I can't read or write to the nand. So in my eyes, a jtag with e79 that can't read or write is useless. If anyone knows a different method of erasing/unlocking the nand without shorting the pins (as this seems to have no effect), then please let me know. I have tried about everything I can think of and it may just be at the point where that freestyle dash plugin has corrupted it beyond repair. It does suck, and it probably isn't worth anything. If anyone has any use for it, let me know-I'm pretty sure it's a lost cause at this point. That's all. I'm pretty sure I'll never get a real solution. Maybe I'm shorting the pins incorrectly, or maybe there's an easier way. I don't know. But if you do, let me know-and please, keep in mind, I can not read or write to the nand as I get a "programming error writing to block xxxx" so let me know if you have experienced this and know a workaround.

I do have the other jtag up and running just great now-I feel dumb that it was just a power supply issue and I took the whole thing apart ready to reflow lol. Oh well. But yea, my chapter book rant is done. This one Xenon with e79 is toast because of that plugin update from freestyle dash. If you do happen to know anything about it, feel free to be my savior below ;)

shady515 wrote Well, I know for sure all the connections are soldered in perfectly fine, as I'm using the nand-pro kit from Team Xecuter. I hook it up and run the jtag tool, and it definitely finds the console, but when I try reading the blocks I get error. If I try to rewrite my updflash or my original nand.bin, I get programming error. That's all it says, and it says it for every single block. I really can't understand how a freestyle dash plugin could e79 it beyond repair. I have tried looking up info on this and can't find anything.

The other one with persistent rrod I checked the secondary error code and it's 0001-meaning I need to use a different psu. This is a friend's power supply as I have his 360 here for a repair, and I guess this explains why his doesn't work also lol-I'll update as soon as I try another power supply.

EDIT: I changed the power supply and the one jtag works great-now I'm still stuck on that first one though

are you running jtag tool as an administrator? and try to write the updflash through the program and not a flashdrive if you need any help pm me i run a shop here on ttg

So you have the RROD running now? Good good...

I fear the other 1 is dead, i've had a couple come to me like this, no matter what you do, whatever nand reset/safe mode that you try it just will not be detected. I've yet to try placing the CPU and nand onto a donor board, so yet to see if it is just the nand chip that has somehow closed its doors lol...
