Thanks for the guide! Unfortunately I've only been able to get it to work on 1 out of 5 consoles so far, so any advice would be appreciated. The first console I tried this on worked
I have a pile of Xenons that are all working but missing DVD drives, so I've been trying to recover the keys for them. So I don't need a stable insta-boot RGH, I just need to get into Xell once. It worked on the first console I tried it on (it took a couple of minutes to glitch and boot to Xell, but at least it did it!) but hasn't worked on any of the four I've tried it with since.
I've done dozens of JTAG and RGH installations before, so I understand what I'm doing and my soldering is pretty good - I'm used to all the points I need to solder to in the 360 by now and my wire routing has gotten pretty good! But nevertheless I followed your guide carefully to make sure I didn't miss anything so I made sure to do things like remove the capacitor for the RST point, add a 22K resistor and solder to the alt 1.8V point. I'm reading the NAND with a J-R Programmer v2, then writing the XENON.ECC file from the Xenon RGH file package. I'm using an Ace v3 chip flashed with the dynamic timing file provided (which I have reflashed every time I've tried a new console). The chip seems to be working (it did with the first console) but is just flashing two short, one long flash indefinitely (I've tried giving it 5-10 minutes to boot). The consoles are all on pretty recent dashboards - 17526 and 17544 - but I'm not sure if that should make any difference, as the one that worked was on 17544. I think 4 out of the 5 have Taiwanese CPUs but the last one I tried was Canadian and that didn't work either.
So basically my setup has been exactly the same across all five consoles, but only one worked. Is there anything else I can try?
Side note - I've been looking into the TTL method, where you can recover the CPU key using a USB-TTL adapter without booting into Xell, but every guide I've seen is either in broken English or missing pictures. I can set it up to the point where I'm getting data over the COM port from the chip's LED pulses, but it just seems to be random data repeating itself with every pulse. I'm pretty sure it requires specific timing files in order to request the key and send it via LED pulses, but all the links to the files in the guides are dead. So does anyone have the files for Xenon RGH1.2 TTL? Should be a file called RGH12_XETTL.rar.
