Weird partially succesful update error (dash 17489)

Recommended Posts

Hi, I have a question regarding updating to the newest dash 17489.

Console: trinity motherboard

Chips: cr4 Xl and DemoN

Original dash 17489

Rgh dash 17349

Xbox been working fine since ages, there is nothing wrong with that to start with, but I'm having a weird issue updating the rgh to 17489.

normally I update a rgh console with jrunner (updserv) update function which I find very noob friendly.

In the past, I've used also the xebuild update function (command prompt xebuild update-f *****) which also always worked out fine.

Now I'm facing this:

-I've dumped the original nand twice using the DemoN and jrunner. (To have a fresh nand)

-used xebuild gui 2.097 to create a hacked 17489 image to flash to my DemoN nand.

-all checked out in xebuild gui, have to correct key, image created successfully.

-I've put the new 17489 updflash.bin on a formatted usb

-I've inserted the usb in the Xbox and started xell with eject.

-starts flashing the updflash.bin to the DemoN nand but giving me a invalid block 0x2b2 error (a.k.a. Really bad)

-when flashing is done, I turn off the Xbox by the power button.

-turning it on again with power button, boots into dash within 1,2 or 3 glitches every time. I booted the Xbox like 5 or 6 times

-the moment I take out the power cable (unplug) and plug it back, it won't boot anymore. Never... Doesn't boot into xell neither.

I then re flash a fresh 17349 dash to the rgh side (DemoN) and it boots fine again, also after unplugging and plugging back the power cable.

I also tried to flash the (by xebuild gui 2.097 created) updflash.bin by loading it into source of jrunner and writing it with the advanced writing DemoN/fusion write (remaps bad blocks) option. The invalid block 0x2b2 gets remapped to 0x3ff after finishing the nand write. After this, the Xbox doesn't boot at all...

By the way, I have the same invalid block when I'm writing the 17349 image, but that one doesn't give me any problems (or haven't given me any problems until now). With the 17349 or lower dashes I create through jrunner, even with the invalid block, the Xbox works fine.

P.s. I've installed dashlaunch 3.16 when I can boot into the Xbox using the 17349 image.

So basically, it will boot into the newest dash 17489 as long as I don't unplug the power cable after flashing the nand with a usb stick in xell. All other ways to flash the hacked image, doesn't work.

How to fix this? Just wait till jrunner gets updated? Or you guys know something I'm doing wrong?

I can post pictures of jrunner or whatever if needed, I'm typing at my iPad at this moment, so I could go to my pc if anyone needs any more info.

Thanks in advance.

Basically, the issue is that xeBuild GUI don't have the CR4 SMC, when you unplug the power cable it also reloads the SMC, it's kept in memory while power is still connected which causes it to work until you unplug the power...

You should probably use JRunner for your updates to make sure it stays the same, or you need to add the specific SMC manually

Thanks for responding so quickly swizzy. The part of smc resetting I was aware of, but didn't know xebuild gui didn't have the cr4 smc.

So basically best to do is wait for jrunner. Could you tell me maybe, how to add the specific smc and where to get it?

Thanks again for taking the time to read my longggg story.

I've attached the SMC's you need

If memory serves me right you just put the smc as "smc.bin" next to xeBuild GUI and select to use a custom one (it should auto select, but...)

Well I fixed it, but in a slightly different way you described me. I didn't know exactly where to put the smc file you linked me.

So what I did, I used my 17349 glitch image of which I knew was working, so I thought that specific smc file would be correct also.

Used the nand image from my DemoN in xebuild gui 2.097 to create the dash 17489 image and it's working, also after unplugging power.

Thanks for your help swizzy, appreciate it.
