Good day to all,
I have accidentally flash a xenon XELL image to a falcon board, then it won't power up also the nandpro program won't recognize the flash chip any more so I can't write the correct image to the chip.
I search in the internet and find this solution but it is not working for me
I shorted pins 44-47 with a flat head screw driver as he do but I get red light in the adapter and the nandpro program won't recognize the flash chip also.
please help :?

If like me you are rushing around, and accidentally flash a xenon xell image to a zephyr or other board, then there are two things you'll notice
1) it won't power up dead as door nail.
2) the nandpro program won't recognise the flash chip any more so you can't write the correct image to the chip. OH DEAR!!!
There is help though by shorting a couple of pins on the nand.
This is what you nand looks like, you'll notice in the top left hand corner a dimple on the chip that is signifying pin 1.
This is a shortened chip with leg/pin numbers.
the objective is to prevent the SMC from retrieving its instruction code/firmware, by shorting and confusing the data lines.
I shorted pins 44-47 with a flat head screw driver (gash I know).
sequence of events,
I disconnected power brick,
shorted pins,
connected power brick,
un-shorted pins (removed screwdriver)
ran NandPro 2.0b. It now shows correct flashconfig again hooray!!
Pins 44-47 are I/O pins don't carry any voltage so to speak so chances or blowing something is less but not impossible so only do this if you are completely stuck and the alternative is to remove the chip bench program it.
Re-flashed with correct xell image booted linux flashed xbr all is fine now phew!!
