Thanks for this tutorial. It helped me a lot. I had to put in a switching diode on i think it was 2. Im not sure but im glad i was checking to make sure that the NAND dumps were Identicle before continuing on with putting xcell on there because if I messed up I would have been screwed.

Do I need to take a picture of the cpu key or dvd key? cuz theres no way I am going to be able to type that fast.

cant I just retrieve the key off the dvd drive? and will I be able to still play games on my jtagged xbox and mod it to play my backed up games?

going to start on this probably this weekend. if I get all the stuff I need to do this

thanks for info

rodent the best way to get this info is to get a camera pointed at the screen and soon as it comes on take pictures quick but better is to camcord it as thats what i did

Anonamous · « **Reply #35 on:** May 08, 2011, 10:53:39 AM »

if you have and recording devices such as a hdpvr dazzle easycrap (lol @ easycrap) you could use that ad just pause the video when the keys come up.

Rodent · « **Reply #36 on:** May 08, 2011, 12:26:52 PM »

Thanks guys, will I still be able to fit the hard drive and dvd drive in its spot?

Rodent · « **Reply #37 on:** May 10, 2011, 06:15:06 PM »

I screwed up Not good didnt work got the wrong file or something... crap...booted to new menu and didnt boot to blue screen...dash was .6683 and now is .8955 and nothing else on it

Edit: whooo... saved it, had to reflash it I flashed it with the wrong dash update needed the new one. but it got the blue screen and i got the cpu key...my fault but yet just wanted to let everyone know it worked when i reflashed it again.

thanks crazy-modder for tut and helping me I thought I killed it...lol

I just ordered all the parts for this tonight.. have a couple xenons laying around.

i'm hoping that someone will be able to help me through this... *cough, cough, crazy*

this tut is very helpful, i had some problems, but once i did it, it went very easy, I have never done this before and after doing it I realized just how simple this tut was, probably the best tutorial I have seen and easiest to use. read carefully and everything will work out great.

Dont forget to add the diode i mentioned in one of my posts above. If you dont you will not get a clean backup of your nand. You will know that you have a clean backup when you make two dumps and open them both in a hexeditor and compare the two files. If they are identical you have a good backup. If not, then dump another one, if none of them match up check your wiring and dump again.

the tutorial says nothing about a diode... so i won't be getting it. if it really is essential to the process, it would be nice if you could be more specific... just buying a random switching diode and putting it somewhere where you think it goes won't be a help.

rodent: thanks for the info!! i'm sure i'll still need you guy's help though.. looking forward to it!!

Yeah i just got done jtagging a xenon and i didnt need a diode.... Just follow this tutorial

open your nand backup in jtag tool under the kv info and put in your cpu key. If the serial key and stuff doesnt come up correcty you dont have a good back up dump.

It even says in the nandpro.txt file that comes with nandpro that you need a diode between J1D2.4 (nomber 2 on the motherboard in this tutorial) and the green wire that goes to the db25 connector. The line on the diode faces the motherboard.

Dude ive done about 30 jtags and never used a diode on a xenon....I use total commander to compare the nand dumps and have identical dumps every time. As long as you have 2 good matching dumps then your good.

nEoVaLoR · « **Reply #45 on:** June 18, 2011, 05:50:42 PM »

R&D, and King of the Wii-tards.... I'm gonna listen to R&D ;D I guess we'll find out when I do mine anyways.

hmm... thats wierd. when I did mine i dumped it at least 10 times and it took me about a week untill I saw in the text file about the diode. I added it, dumped to and they matched lol.

Rodent · « **Reply #47 on:** June 18, 2011, 06:28:39 PM »

WHat the hell happened here? damn

contest....lol

Crazy-modder made the tut, i screwed up cuz i grabbed an older update file for the dash and got lucky and was able to reflash it with the right dashboard update.

THIS TUT WORKS PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!

crazy-modder · « **Reply #48 on:** June 18, 2011, 09:11:18 PM »

Im not trying to give you

or anything Anonamous lol. I have heard of cases where people do use diodes on xenons but i have used this tutorial every time i do xenons and never had any problems. I have had bad nand dumps only because my wiring didnt have a good connection so i just desoldered it all and re soldered then got 2 good matching dumps

Hazer · « **Reply #49 on:** June 19, 2011, 03:47:07 AM »

GUYS! The reason for the diode has to do with noise switching on the parallel port. The reason it is required or not has to do with each persons parallel port on thier computer. Thats why crazymodder does not need one and Anonomous does.

Ive read a tutorial that says to put the diodes in to start, and remove them if the dump is no good.

crazy-modder · « **Reply #50 on:** June 19, 2011, 08:32:33 AM »

Thank you for letting us know that hazer!! i honestly had no idea it was for that. Lol all i know about a diode is its pretty much a one way check valve for electricity. Current flows one way and not the other.

Yes lol thank-you. That clears up a lot lol...

So nEoVaLoR dump 2 nand dump and check them to see if they are identical, if they are not, dump a third one, if none of them are identical then put in the diode (put it on the motherboard, not on the lpt cable) and dump two more and then they should match.

Okay, where would I solder this diode at?

And what kind of diode, Just a switching one right?

Can someone give me an ebay link, so I can purchase this today!

Neo, i can sell you a complete nand dump kit. $10 and it will have everything you need.

i was wondering does this work with a zephyr motherboard? Can i remove the resister and wire from the xbox after im done jtagging it?

you can only remove the wires that connect to the cat5 cable you use. The 330 ohm resistors CANNOT be removed

Rodent · « **Reply #57 on:** June 25, 2011, 07:06:45 AM »

Ok I have used this tut on a xenon, what do i use if I have a zephyr? can i use the same tutortial?

crazy-modder · « **Reply #58 on:** June 25, 2011, 09:08:32 AM »

For zephyr, use this wiring method in the picture and you still use the same commands to dump it.

eddieluu · « **Reply #59 on:** June 25, 2011, 09:24:37 AM »

so for the zephyr i use the wiring diagram you just upload and then i continue from step 2 on the tut?
what diode do i need ?
