    Gaming Xbox with error

    Quite normal. You can get motherboards with half blue half silver tops too. It's just where they source components from different manufacturers. I have an old thread with a few MB photo's, and you can see it's normal http://gbatemp.net/t259392-2-xbox-360-jtag...de-2-jasper-pro

    Gaming Xbox with error

    There is only one method of truely determining the motherboard revision, and that's by the SMC version. As it is, you clearly have an early Falcon motherboard which you can tell from the photo. On the underside of the motheboard, you'll likely find foam pads on the RAM. You've seriously...

    Gaming Playing 360-games from a hdd without jtag

    Will never happen, Microsoft hasn't made the same mistake with their cryptography as Sony. The person responsible for the KK/ JTAG hack, TMBInc is anti piracy. No one has yet to figure out how he got the 1BL key, he has said no interest in hacking it further. No one with the necessary skills...

    Gaming my odds of getting rrod?

    There is no one cause of the E74 RROD. It's been suggested that MS used a brittle type of lead free solder which breaks under extreme heat and the associated expansion/ contraction, it's also been suggested the X-Clamps can warp the motherboard under extreme heat from the metal casing not being...

    Gaming Questionable JTAG...

    "Retail consoles which came with 2.0.7371.0 have the CB/CD patched and are not JTAG'able" I'm certain of that, I have a JTAG from 19-06-2009 Lot 0925x, and even that had 2.0.7363. I've also had 2 consoles from Lot 0924x along with 3 from 0923x and likewise all had 2.0.7363. If you had a...

    Gaming Questionable JTAG...

    Not really, you only need to dump the first 2MB. 16MB Jaspers are still the better console to have though.

    Gaming Questionable JTAG...

    Your under no cirumstances is your console JTAG'able. There is no one who claims a 2.0.8498.0 is JTAG'able. Dashboard 2.0.8498.0 intentionally and specifically patched the JTAG exploit, and was released BEFORE the JTAG hack went public. This was no coincidence. The Last retail JTAG'ables came...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    Not really a fan of quickboot. From what I gather you have to either select USB or HDD. However there's a version out there works for both at the same time (giving priority to the HDD if the same file exists on on both the HDD and USB), but i've not been able to find it and that's annoyed me. I...

    Gaming LT+ drive won't play burnt backups

    The calibration data isn't used. It's from where the drive was tested in the factory, once it's left the factory it's no longer used. If you dump the original firmware over SATA, you will loose this 'calibration data'. You only get the 'calibration data' if you dump the original firmware using...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    I'll see if I can dig out the European power lead and photograph it. I think it's an European lead, If you're not familar with JTAG's, you probably need to research them. I don't know if they play retail discs from other regions without the drive flashed. However, even if they games don't run...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    It's easy enough, provided you have an original NAND Dump. You won't need to resolder, provided you configure the SMC for your wiring (ARGON_DATA, AUD_CLAMP, HDMI or TRAY_OPEN). By default the tool uses AUD_CLAMP for TMS, and DB1F1 (or it's alternative points) for TDI. If you're using ARGON_DATA...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    The power supplies should be the same for all of Europe (200V-240V), the 230W is likely to be a 203W misread. They then simply switch the IEC lead which goes from PSU to socket. One of the consoles I have original came from germany, and i'm sure another one also originated from Europe too. I'll...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    Yep, the new SMC fix was only released recently. Until then JTAG's had issues such as you describe with Play and Charge Kits. However, hardly anyone is using the new SMC fix and they have to be generated from your original clean SMC. All the JTAG tools such as easyFreeBoot/ JTAG Tool/ freeBoot...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    You can use either a 175W or 203W PSU on a Falcon. I also have a Zephyr for £125 (Hitachi Drive), likewise I had to hoover the dust off the heatsinks. I'm intending to Flash the Falcon's drive to newly realeased LT+1.1, although i've never flashed a drive blind before (ie without a dump of the...

    Gaming Question about Jtag and stuf

    A bare (ie no PSU) console weights ~3.7KG, A complete Pro/ Elite weighs around ~6.8KG. I one had someone ask me to ship one to Saudi Arabia, I was in serious shock at the shipping cost.
