RGH3 Made Easier with the Slim PLL QSB - Overview & Install!

[@dangerdoes689]

I did rgh3 as my first hardware mod on a console. Its not too bad even without the sponsored stuff here. Just as he said, take your time scratching up the PLL point and you will be fine. Plus coronas don't need the resistor but I went back in and added one after the fact just to be on the safe side

[@Tieigo0]

It's amazing that he took advice from one of his commenters and actually used the tape method to sort down the scraping away the point.

[@MrMario2011]

Love a helpful community!

[@retrogamer2323]

Suggestion: Don't tin both pads for the smd resistor. Just tin one side, tac your resistor in place, then solder the other side. Great video as usual.

[@MrMario2011]

Thanks for the tip!

[@shanez1215]

I love this QSB since it lets you change the wires if need be (for Viper V3) and avoids any stress being put on that tiny PLL point. Also the resistor install is a lot neater with it

[@MrMario2011]

Absolutely! A great addition.

Good dude for sure!

[@karlmee1234]

Good stuff man. I remember doing soldering of small resistors like that at trade school, we dropped them on the floor so many times and lost them 😅. Trying to solder them in without a microscope is painful, holding them with the correct size tweezers does help

[@MrMario2011]

Love that microscope.

[@MrBlingBlingNr1]

I prefer the wire method. Done now nearly 15 consoles. PS: You should use a toothpick for flux instead of the q tip ;) works better

[@MrMario2011]

For sure, I need toothpicks but don't have them on hand since I don't ever use them 😂

[@Andrew-kw9kq]

i can see why this is easier for people who are new to soldering, id recommend buying a qsb that already has the resistor if you are new as that could be pretty difficult

[@MrMario2011]

For sure, although the sellers I've seen seem to include one or both for you to install. Since the installer might have to use different values for different consoles.

[@mikestribling7574]

I had a lot of trouble with SMD until I got solder paste and a hot air work station. Total game changer

[@MrMario2011]

Tools make all the difference!

[@aurismat_main]

Great video! Ever since my first failed Corona mod about 10 months ago I've tried to RGH a couple of Trinities, and I always had difficulty making the PLL_BYPASS point to hold onto my wires properly(probably a soldering skill issue on my end). Ordered a bunch of these QSBs, as they seem a great way to avoid having any issues soldering up that hard-to-hit via further down the line.

[@Matthew.Gaitan]

Oh man... Just attempted this. Trying to solder to the PLL point was a pain using the QSB... I ended up getting annoyed and cutting off that part of the QSB and instead soldering a wire between the PLL point and the resistor on the QSB.... might have been easier to forego the QSB entirely heh But enough of me complaining! Thank you for posting this video and your other video on how to RGH3 a corona xbox, they were extremely helpful :)

[@MrMario2011]

Sorry to hear, that's surprising it was more difficult, but it sounds like you made it work? 🤣

[@razredge68]

I'd love it if they would release a QSB with JST or similar connectors for reading the NAND. All those wires bunched together makes soldering them a pain. My trinity with RGH2 went well but if I ever have to dump a NAND on another system I'd want QSBs.

[@MrMario2011]

There's already a couple of options out there! You could do what XDK consoles do, which is install pinheaders to the NAND points. Alternatively, Team Xecuter did indeed release NAND read/write QSBs. They weren't widely used and haven't been made for a long time now, but I had a set of them installed in my first RGH.

[@saifurrehmanshahid4669]

15432 releases RGH3, a RGH 2 wire method for all motherboards except Xenon, Zephyr, and Winchester that does not need a glitch chip etc.. other than just business promotions.

[@MrMario2011]

I've covered it extensively! And I needed those emo PCBs

[@patrickmason7205]

I bought a pre-soldered QSB and it bricked my console because the resistor wasn't soldered on properly. I am very new when it comes to soldering and my second go around I was successful instead of trying to solder that tiny resistor on the board, I just spliced a big 10K resistor in a wire and I don't know if this matters but I put solder in the gap where the resistor should have went and it worked for me.

[@MrMario2011]

That would work since you are bridging the pads, so it would be the equivalent of a single wire.

[@Notpoop906]

nice video bro. i wish I kept more of my 360s because I had one I could have saved with such an easy RGH hack. I still have one of the fat systems with the original LPT JTAG method installed lol

SMD resistor goes on the board, after that the board install to the motherboard itself is easier than 2 wires.

Hello if i have a corona v5 4gb do I still need to purchase a cpu post fix corona adapter? I am using a rasberry pico

[@MrMario2011]

Yes

[@JeremiahRounsaville]

Hey man!! I've been a fan for a while and often refer to your work for multiple things. Recently I tried a corona v3 RGH install and I think I dorked the PLL solder point. I'm not sure it's salvageable. Would I be able to get you a pic and you tell me if I should abandon altogether or not?

[@EV4NSY]

I have a problem with a console. Ive done 5 consoles using RGH3 and not had any issues what so ever on both Trinity and Corona motherboards. My friend tried to do a trinity and it worked fine. He booted up GTA VC for the OG xbox and it randomly shut off. He did some checks etc and said nothing seemed out of place. He was testing his wires and pulled up a bit too hard on the POST point ripping up the cable and solder. Since then he has tried to fix it and eventually dug a hole on the POST point and if that post point gets any solder on it what so ever. The console will chime and wont power on. BUT if it is clear of solder it will just perma boom. It chimes and the fan stays on and eventually speeds up to insane speeds. I of course bought it off him for £20 as spares as repairs incase i needed some additional parts but have tried to fix it instead. He did already expose the POST point on the other end of the board and wire up to that and has the same effect of chiming > fan stays on > i turned it off. I have redone the wiring, soldering, changed resistors and no luck. Even tried to make it boot retail as he sent me the original nand files etc. No luck, do you or anyone reading this have any ideas? Im not at a loss if it wont work as ill use it for parts but be nice to see if i can get it working again.

Get a Postfix Adapter, use that, be done with it.

[@nick7227]

Hi MrMario. I’m doing my first rgh in a couple weeks. I got a broken Trinity console to practice on before I do the real thing. I bought the QSB but I have heard quite a few people say that it makes the RGH more difficult. Is this true? Is it simpler just to use wire and a regular resistor?

[@MrMario2011]

From my experience? If you've never soldered before, It could be more difficult. If you have enough experience soldering, it is easier.

[@axpersx9397]

What temp did you all use on the solder to get the pll point I got 1 rgh successfully but barely any solder stuck I started to char the board my temp set to 380 I believe I can set max to 480 I just wanna know for next time

[@MrMario2011]

700F, which isn't far off from what you're using. You're probably heating it up for too long.

[@grantashby989]

quick question im thinking about doing this to my trinity but it has not been updated since 2018 running 17526 should i stay on this dashboard or update to most recent its a non modded console atm

Do i need both the QSB and postfix adapter for my xbox 360 e or just the QSB?

[@MrMario2011]

Postfix is needed for Corona v3-v6 models, the QSB here is optional but makes RGH3 easier.

[@nicholasjjacob]

Does this work for all Corona V1-6? Does this replace the post fix adapter for v4-6? Thank you!

[@MrMario2011]

Works for all Slims, does not negate the need for a Postfix Adapter.

[@thatslow4.6]

So I had a few questions, Even If I purchase that $200 microscope you have linked will it be easier to do a RGH3? I have 2 Coronas one I already modded with a glitch chip years and years ago, But kind of forgot the entire process of all this and mostly stressed to attempt this once again, My other question is what is mainly needed to complete a RGH3 glitch? Just don't want to purchase a ton of things that arent needed.

[@MrMario2011]

Having a microscope definitely makes work like this much easier, but is not a requirement. I'd recommend you watch my RGH3 tutorials related to the console you want to work on, since those will be much more in depth than this video and will answer the questions you have.

[@NotttC]

Hey, I followed your corona guide with my 360 e however I ripped the pad for db3, is there an alternative pad that I can use or an I sol

I've gotten pretty discouraged during my RGH journey. I've bricked several consoles and only been able to do one successfully. In your opinion, what is the easiest motherboard to RGH?

[@MrMario2011]

In my opinion? Trinity. That's the first one I ever did a RGH on my own for, and they're hearty systems. Less issues with wire routing than Phats, and less temperamental than Coronas.

What wires do I need for the pico flasher and where do I get them?

Making the job easier, basically. It makes the soder go where it's meant to, if you don't use it, the job becomes exponentially more difficult.

Use next Time a Fiberglas Pen! For PLL. It´s much easyer

Definitely the tiniest resistor I’ve ever installed 🤣 smaller then a dust bunny

[@MrMario2011]

0603 is still the smallest I've gone, but 0805 is still a small one!

[@Flashy7]

I think this did not make it easier, and instead of using a through the hole resistor, you have to solder 2 more tiny points at the smd resistor. The pcb itself is neat though, but for not much advantage...
