    Update: After 3 months the console no longer boots. As I mentioned from the start, RGH3 is not recommended for phat consoles. You may have success with it at first but don't count on it lasting forever. I'm not pissed as I kinda expected this to happen eventually 😂
    Further update: After removing the RGH3 wiring and flashing the original NAND backup, I got RRoD 0022. Spent a day trying to resurrect it, making sure no traces were damaged, joints bridged etc. Even went as far as redoing the f up I made with FT6U6, changing to RGH1.2, playing with many different options in J-Runner, and the result was always the same - 0022 with retail dash, and nothing with RGH (just a green power led as the modified NAND cannot display most RRoD errors afaik).
    Almost certainly the CPU is dead, whether or not it would have died anyway without RGH3ing I'll never know - probably. Anyway, like I keep saying RGH3 is not recommended for phats. Time to RGH1.2 my other white Falcon 😁

      No. It just sits there doing nothing, power light and fans turn on but that's it. I might try flashing it back to stock, see if it still works and if so I'll install rgh1.2

    I really wouldn't bother messing with the SMC temperature targets in Dashlaunch, just leave it stock. Even if you have an early Falcon with a defective GPU (part # is X810480), setting the fans to run faster is not gonna prevent the GPU from failing. My Falcon has a fixed GPU and was running totally retail since I got it as a kid in mid 2008.

    Still pretty cool to find new uses for these stationary console systems when so many have either moved on to handheld consoles, mobile phone apps and/or deeper into high powered PC games with insane graphics cards. There really is significant value that can be had on these systems still and I'm not sure how much longer Microsoft will maintain their online service. It's nice to know we have options.

    just found the channel, you've got great pacing, just the right amount of information presented without going too crazy on specifics unless you have to. really enjoying what i'm seeing so far. it's great to see a variety of era's of consoles you're working on as well, keeps things really fresh and interesting.
    hope you can get used to soldering under the microscope, that sounds like a really tough thing to get down.
    as someone who jtag'd hundreds of phat consoles years ago, it's really interesting to see someone rgh a phat 360, really a damn shame that it died so quickly. happy to see it's more accessible to do so using the pico.
    keep up the good work

    Oh wow, i remeber trying to flash the dvd drive, and could not get my pc sata to talk to it. So i pulled apart the drive and the flashrom had resion on it, got the reson off, desolder the flash rom, made a harness and external socket, then modded my aopen motherboard and added a second socket and apropriate mods. Then modified the bios flash program to reconise and program the 360 dvd drive flash rom. 😂
    Mother plucker, and woo hoo it worked. All while i was working 12hour shifts labouring and going out to the shed late at night and early morning 😴
    Fun time and i still have the drive but the xbox died, but i have used drive on other xboxs but i tbink i had to change a key as the drive is coded to the mother board.

    Something I found when copying discs to my Trinity system is that there are some games that MUST be installed using GOD format. I had one with an illegal character in the file name (allowed on the DVD format, but not the hard drive file system), and one where the file name was simply too long. (Many subdirectories deep.) Ripping to GOD format solved both problems.

    - connecting second disk via SATA (replacing DVD for example)?

      If it will be possible to little increase performance for the console to make some games run on stable FPS. Just dreams. Sooner we will have stable and fast emulation in and powerful enough integrated graphics for running Xbox games ;)

Te comentaba que primero la lleve con un técnico . Para que el trabajo fuera más profesional , el seudo técnico me la regreso y me dijo que no se pudo , me cobraban 40 dls , por ese trabajo . Lo bueno que no me cobraron por hacer el intento y me la regresaron funcionando . Tuve que ver muchos videos antes de animarme a hacerlo yo mismo. El el primer intento , apague la consola extrayendo la Nand, y ya no dió señal de vida . Tuve que recuperar la Nand , y despues todo me salió al pie de la letra , apesar de que mi nand. Trae sectores defectuosos , use el jrunner más reciente y al copiar la Nand me hizo el checkdisk de los sectores dañados . Análise los puntos de Pll y smc , y pues nadie sabe realmente que hacen estos pines , o ocupan puntos alternos . En mi jasper use el mismo regulador de 1.2 v que trae la consola con un resistencia de 10 k. Y ocupe un diodo 1n4148 , en el punto FU7 , si conectas mal , hace cosas extrañas el Xbox360 . Así que solo solda bien y une los puntos ,correctos espero te sirva mi respuesta , yo también soy. Grande y no veo ocupo lupas para ver . Y si soldé mal , hasta la 3 vez pude hacer el RGH
