Hi,
I'm in the progress of modding my Xbox 360 Slim Trinity, with x360 Ace V3 & Viper dual NAND. I have the ace chip soldered to the motherboard, but the ace v3 suddenly stopped doing anything. There are no lights anymore on the ace chip, red or green, and the console has a single solid red led when powered on.
I was mainly following this tutorial (MrMario2011):
These are the steps that lead up to this point:
1. I soldered pin headers to the NAND points.
2. I connected the (clone) J-r programmer to the motherboard, using the custom pin headers.
3. I updated my J-r programmer firmware with PICFLASH_E_1_0_5-JRP-V2.HEX
4. I read the NAND from the motherboard, which was successful. 2x reads, and they matched. I have backups of these.
5. I created the ECC & wrote the ECC successfully, for Trinity configuration, 17559 Dash & Glitch2.
6. I programmed the Ace v3 with the rgh2_tri_su_du_50_1.xsvf (S-RGH V2)
7. I soldered the X360 Ace V3 chip to the motherboard.
8. I tried to boot to Xell, but after a few tries, was unsuccessful at booting. The lights flickered (I assume successfully) on the ace chip, but it wouldn't boot after a couple of minutes per try.
9. I programmed the Ace with the different rgh2_tri_su_du_50_2.xsvf
10. I again tried to boot to Xell with the new xsvf, but now the ace chip does nothing. No lights, no boot, and xbox shows a single solid red light on the power.
I've tried reprogramming the Ace with the first xsvf, and others, but they do nothing. I removed the Ace chip and flashed to retail, and the Xbox boots successfully. I resoldered the Ace chip back, which doesn't help. I've checked and resoldered everything for the Ace, nothing. I changed the Ace D-point from C5R17 to FT42R , which did nothing. I've traced the wires from the motherboard to the ace chip with a multimeter, and there is continuity.
I can read & write the Xbox NAND, and I can reprogram the glitch chip, but the glitch chip has not responded since the initial attempt.
Am I doing something wrong, or has the Ace chip most likely been fried somehow? Is it unsafe to try and flash different timing files to a glitch chip, if you don't know exactly what you're doing?
