I removed it as it's no longer a good idea - the official builds of Jrunner support RGH3 just fine.

[@masterchef2408]

If you are getting “Header is Wrong” using the PicoFlasher and maybe other flashers… it’s because your wires from the flasher to the Xbox are to LONG. I made this mistake, my wires were around 20inches long and I was get this error. They are now around 6-9 inches long and it works perfectly fine now. Please pass this along, that the NAND wires need to be short…. Maybe at most 10 inches long. P.S. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.

[@Anony_Mouse_V]

Any help/advice Much appreciated 1: I've done several phats over the years but this is my first slim 2: 16MB Trinity on 17559 dash 3: JR programmer Ok , all went well with the soldering (I think) , read the nand , created a Glitch2 RGH3 @27mhz ECC etc .. Flashed the ECC and all went ok BUT although Xell will startup ok after just a few seconds when it says "Requesting dhcp" the screen corrupts and goes no further with a single green led blinking !! *Any help would be much appreciated*

did you found any solution? i have the same here...

Thank you so much weekend modder, I successfully modded 2 slims and 2 phats last year because of your tutorials. Also looking forward to buying more tools from your eBay

[@TheWeekendModder]

I don't have an eBay... My store is weekendmodder.com/store

[@sicnynstile1758]

Love the tutorials! I only use Weekend Modder. I’ve also made some purchases from your store. Better prices than eBay on the items I’ve purchased. Any chance of a RGH3 Jasper tutorial?

I've got the written one on the site, but the video is the next on my list! Hopefully this upcoming weekend.

I'm actually surprised the modding scene for 360 is still active and going after this long. This reminds me of the classic JTAG days back in 2007-2009. Huge respect to 15432 for making this discovery.

[@pixel_infusion8281]

I turn the machine on and see the xell screen for a few moments before the screen goes black and the red light flashes. Any ideas?

Aww man, I just successfully RGHed my trinity with ace V3 using your tutorials literally a week ago. I get 1-2 second boots most of the time, it was a very fun project, and I’m supper happy with it but no glitch chip RGH3 looks awesome and I probably would have done that, I already have a 3k resistor and wires. Haha I also have a 4GB rona still stock but I have another ace v3, post fix adapter, and sd tool so now idk if I should use ace v3 or RGH3???? Thanks for all your help bro, I really appreciate your videos and resources on your website!

[@djenryaugustin1415]

hello, I would like to ask for your help because I have an xbox 360 and the problem is that I did all the manipulations for the RGH 3 and after creating ECC and writing ECC it does not restart on xell and it does not restart more. note that when I read the nand on jr programmer there is several information that is not present. I would like to know how to fix this. it's a trinity 16mb

[@HastyRhombus760]

Is it just me or is using the additional PCB only complicating things? Seems once the solder points are identified the PCB just gets in the way just IMO.

[@goodintentions5189]

Just upgraded my falcon to RGH3 and now its asking for passcode to play some games, the reset passcode on jrunner is AUUY and does not work as letter A is an invalid key on the key pad. Please help

[@drewmorama]

Pll point is present on the underside of the board also. There is no need to bring it upside. All the wires will be on the bottom.

[@TheWeekendModder]

Hey - share a link/diagram and I'll do an update to point that out - but keep in mind my videos are targeted at novices! If you know the other point, Great! Use it! The one I showed is EASY no matter what your soldering skill level.

[@andrewbailey6382]

Hi I have done a trinity motherboard using the two wire method, and also flashed the dvd drive,and everything works perfectly. However I now have a Corona 16mb, which I have tried several times now, but jrunner reports no console found. I know I have 5.5v standby power coming off the power brick, however I dont know what power is needed to actually read the nand. I know I have voltages of 3.3V at the j2c1 header as well as 3 volts, but I'm not sure what voltage I actually need to read the nand. I have looked for header voltages on the internet, but cant find anything other than wiring diagrams. I would have liked to find which pin is vcc. I know the yellow wire is ground. I dont know which wires are for data etc. I was hoping that with your knowledge of doing numerous console's you may have come across this information for J2C1 and J2C3. Any help would be much appreciated, regards Andy.

[@IMDYT420]

Nice. Will you be doing a phat tutorial for the others that need it?

[@TheWeekendModder]

Yup. Corona next, then Falcon/Jasper(phat) will be after that.

Do i solder the wires while it’s standby on for jrunner? Or do I solder the wires while the power is off?

I did it using the FT2V1 point on Trinity + 3.3K ohm resistor and it works fine. Saved me the hassle of soldering on the other side of the board. All super cheap using an 8 euro iron, cut jumper wires and the pico flasher :) Went ecstatic when solder finally stuck to the CPU_PLL_BYPASS POINT. Thank you!

Awesome info, thanks for making the video. I will be doing this to a trinity i picked up off of facebook market place. But I had one question for you, by putting the resistor inline in the wire, do you mean a through hole resistor?

[@madvelila]

I'm good at soldering all the solder points were perfect. I was still not able to get the programming software to recognize my trinity motherboard. I used pico flasher and got error code: "console not found" 😢😢😢

[@DurzoBlunts]

I know this is old but if you have a spare Pico lying around, try it. I had this same problem exactly as you did. Swapped out a new Pico and BOOM read it right away.

Use a fiberglass pen. With this you can expose pll flawlessly. The copper is then perfectly exposed.

so if you have a trinity already glitch chip to a rgh2 how go about updating it to a rgh3 is the princible the same as a corona as the trinity because i noticed you had different wire placing for trinity compaired to the corona am i wrong

[@Geppetto1967]

Does anyone no why I can’t connect to Xbox live av connect to internet and network but it won’t connect to Xbox live

[@OriginalKanyeTPain]

SO what i'm hearing is if we buy a PICO we do not need to go buy a JSPv2. Is that correct?

[@TheWeekendModder]

That's extremely oversimplified. If you're modding a console with a 16mb Nand, and if you're not going to need to program glitch chips, then yes - you can probably get away with just a pico

[@OriginalKanyeTPain]

@@TheWeekendModder I have zero idea what a glitcher does, will i need that to rip my backups onto my hdd or is that something else entirtely

You probably left the ECC/bin file in your "source" when you should have your nanddump.bin

[@IMDYT420]

Does anyone know where to buy jr programmer nand and glitch chip programming wires? I’ve only been able to find them in the kits.

[@TheWeekendModder]

I sell extra nand wires on weekendmodder.com/store. I'm afraid I don't know of a source for JRP to glitch chip programming wires though.

Xenon owners are stil SOL i guess ? (unless you are on an old DB version) i hope that one day someone discovers a way to mod the Xenon as easy as this, in the meanwhile ill be on a lookout for a jasper console :)

[@TheWeekendModder]

Working Xenons in 2022 are... Uncommon. The rarity of working units, and the lack of HDMI means no one dedicated any effort to modding them. Sorry.

What about resistor sizes? Would a 3.3kohm resistor be appropriate or use of a higher value?

i did not have a 3k resistor at hand, so i used a 4.7k and it worked. I think the documentation states that you can use any value between 1k to 10k

[@primosupreme6493]

Hey can we remove the nand flasher when done ? Or do you guys leave it attached (wires that is)

[@MultiWTFGamer]

Remove the flasher but you can leave the wires in place. Make sure tho that the ends of the wires are insulated and are not touching each other

[@michaeltimothy9046]

U didn't use the resistor

[@TheWeekendModder]

Wrong. The resistor is on the QSB, I go over installing it in detail. You skipped over that part probably.

[@TheWeekendModder]

RGH2 has been great on slims for years, I'm not denigrating the method - I just think RGH3 is objectively "better" because you don't need a separate glitch chip. So if your RGH2 works well for you, I'm not saying you should upgrade, but if you were going to mod a new console - you'd be silly not to use RGH3.
