Just got the kit this morning. have soldered everything, nand and Jtag, all points are fine, when I flash xell to get my CPU Key etc I get an E79 error. Have tried both with the resistor and with the jumper bridged, nothing. However flashing the original nand back works fine. Any ideas or have I just wasted my money?

when you flaxh xell what command are using thru command prompt ?
I've only seen e79 on xell flash come if you flash more then the first few blocks of the nand.

How do I get my lost dvd key ?

Everything you need is on xbins (google for automated xbins)
you will need
a copy of xell (for your console revision)
a copy of xellous
xbins for both the above in the free60 part
an exploitable console

1) Set up your nand-X on your console and jtag wires/unit

2) Open up nandpro (dos window)

3) Do a complete 2 complete nand dumps and compare files

Nandpro usb: -r16 nand1.bin
nandpro usb: -r16 nand2.bin
fc nand1.bin nand2.bin
If they are the same then continue

(note for big block change the 16 to either 256 or 512)

4)
read the rawkv off you box (same for all revisions)
open dos box and type
Nandpro usb: -r16 rawkv.bin 1 1

5)
you should now have a complete good back up of the nand and a KV.

flash xell (free60 version)to the console you are flashing a file approx 1.3mb in size double check this before you start flashing so not to overwrite the rest of the nand.
MAKE SURE TO HAVE THE VERSION FOR YOUR BOARD

zephyr would be
nandpro usb: -w16 zephyr_hack_updxell.bin 0

xennon would be
nandpro usb: -w16 xenon_1921hack.bin 0

big block jaspers (edit the 256/512 to suit)
nandpro usb: -w256/-w512 jasper_6723_hack_for_256mb_512mb.bin 0

etc...

once you have flashed this then flash the kv back
flash your KV with the following command, it's the same for all versions of motherboards:

nandpro usb: -w16 rawkv.bin 1 1

It's very import for you to flash your key this enables xellous to decrypt the info stored in nand and display it. must be done after flashing xell and xellous as they overwrite it.

6)
update the xell with xellous
open the xellous rar image and extract xell-1f.bin

NOTE the + and the capital W for raw mode

nandpro usb: +W16 xell-1f.bin 40


7)
once this is done remove the power cord and wait 30 seconds or so,
plug in the composite av lead and the network cable, (does not work on hdmi)
Now boot the machine
If it has worked correctly then after the blue screen with writing you should see at the bottom the dvd key and the cpu key displayed for you, and then a line httpd listen: make a note of the ip number after that,
open up firefox on your pc and type in that ip address
you should be prompted with a white screen with some options
click download for fuses this gives you a txt file with cpu key and dvd key to paste into jf if need be!!

once you have the info power down the console.


8) flash back the good nand image
nandpro usb: -w16 nand1.bin



Please follow this and I've seen no errors come of an xell flash with it.

I have the same problem with a Falcon board. Strangely first time around it worked fine, then the e79 errors arrived and no matter what I do, I just can't get it to boot.

I think the problem lays with xell, which can usually be fixed by adding an additional resistor (330, I think). To combat that I have tried bridging the jumper on board c, but this hasn't helped.

I've reflashed the original nand and it works fine; but no other amount of re-flashing (in any seeming combination) has fixed it.

So... anyone got any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!

why are you flashing xell???

You make and flash XBr3, connect your DVD drive, boot using the eject button instead of power and xell boots.

your doing things an OLD OLD way

a 330ohm resistors is already installed, soldering the JMPA conenction makes it a ZERO ohm

what I do for problematic zephyr and flascon is this method

see picture attached, the diodes needed are $1.50 at most radio shacks
