Is this your tutorial? Also, this is just making the connections, not the full jtag.

This took you 3 hours? No offense but it isn't a great tutorial when you're telling them where to solder and then saying put back together, you're missing out the most important parts..

When I tag my mate's falcon in a few days I'll make an in-depth tutorial and show you how it's done. :tt2:

In the pic you show a dash of 13146. That's not lower that 7371, or is there another number you are referring to?

Hello all, I'm new here. and I have questions.

I'm not trying to flame but you should either include dumping the nand into the tut or ask a mod to close. this is already in a sticky for 1 and it is not complete and newer members will think this is all that has to be done.
