Hello! So I have never modded an xbox so I am a total noob.
So we have a Slim Trinity Xbox 360. I couldn't find any of the old chips to use with oblivioncth's Xbox 360 Ultimate Exploit Guide but I was able to find a CR4.
So now I have :
-CR4 XL
-JR Programmer 2
-QSB Trinity V-3
We got all the wires soldered and got JR Programmer on my computer to work with the proper drivers. I have the JR Progammer with Extras that has new support for RGH3 (im not using that just wanted to add that because thats the version of JRP that I have).
We did realize initially we forgot to solder the QSB on (as I said, total noob, I don't know how I expected it to get power without making connections) so we did that and got the CR4 to work up until the Xell boot. I can attach some photos of what it looks like now. Now when everything is hooked up to the computer the red light on the JRP and the CR4 are on and solid.
Now is the part where we are stuck. Honestly, I have no idea what is going on with the nand reading and dumping, I just don't know how the Xbox system runs so I don't understand how the mods actually work only how to do them in theory. I've found a couple tutorials and got up to getting Xell to boot to get the CPU. This is what I get reading the nand.
I was able to successfully read the nands and confirm that they are the same.
Then I was able to create and write the ecc file successfully. Now is the part I am not sure about. The tutorial I started with said at this point, to disconnect programmer from the computer and disconnect power. Then plug in an Ethernet, hdmi, and power. Turn on the console and Xell should boot after 2 or 3 debug flashes. For me, the debug on the CR4 forever flashes and xell never loads.
During troubleshooting, I kept seeing stuff about timing files. Not sure what that is but the JRP version I am using has a button for "Program Timing File" but no matter the settings I use, it says
So as a noob, I have no idea what I'm trying to even do here to troubleshoot more. Am I supposed to be writing a timing file? What do I need to do to get the chip to be detected. It seems like its all working but I'm not sure.
I also kept seeing stuff about the ACE chip? I don't need that to mod with the CR4 right? I already have the CR4 installed so I'd like to stick with that.
I just can't find any info specifically about a Trinity mod with a CR4 and QSB. Everything I can find is either ACE chip, or CR4 without the QSB. Maybe the QSB isn't soldered all the way?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
