If you are having issues with reading the nand, ex: "console not found" or "Unknown flash config 0xFFFFFF", try using a USB 2.0 hub (doesn't need to be powered). I spent literally days hunched over this thing and in the end that is what worked for me, not entirely sure why but I am pretty sure it has to do with my laptops USB ports being USB 3.2 and the Picos being USB 1.1. Double check your work first but this may be a solution for you.
Another useful video. I hadn’t planned on ever modding another 360, but with all the new methods coming out I might just have to pick another one to check out the latest stuff.
Falcon console here and first time modding a 360 You save me a lot of time because I didn't knew or read it (is probably somewhere and I skip over it). Thanks!!
spot on Aaron , thanks! ....I just got a 4g e and didnt know what to do with it , so , now i have a pico enroute and I will soon have it sorted , thanks bro .
Estou com um problema, na primeira vez usei o pico flasher sem problemas, mas agora ele não lê consoles de 4GB, apenas 16mb ele sempre diz. Console não encontrado Configuração de flash desconhecida! Comprei outro pico flasher e o resultado é o mesmo, já testei em outro pc e nada. o mesmo com diferentes mhoters
I have followed the video but still getting unknown flash config error .. i have xbox 360 corona v1 or v2 4gb .. i cant solve at all.. i tried many times but still getting no console found or unknown flash config
I tried the order you mentioned and it didn't seem to make a difference. Is there any more updated info on problems with the Pico and 4GB NANDs? It seems like there's been no activity on the PicoFlasher repo in a year and a half and there are several open issues with other people having problems detecting the console or even getting PicoFlasher working at all. I get the feeling there's a need for a fix in the firmware for some of these issues.
@@Harmonic14Definitely not user error. Give people some more credit. I ended up getting an xFlasher, seems people (Josh/Octal in particular) don't recommend Picoflasher at all anymore. It did a couple of consoles for me (mostly works as long as you don't use a 4GB NAND, though you could have small bits of corruption in NAND dumps even when it does "work" as documented by some people), but after shelling out the money for the more reliable tool I might as well just use it for everything.
@@SoundToxin Definitely it is problem with picoflasher I checked my wires like 10x times and everything is okay. Do you recommend other programmer from Aliexpress like jr V2 programmer bcs I'm from EU. Can't get xFlasher :/
@@AleksandarAnelkovic After my own PicoFlasher issues I just got an xFlasher and used that for the rest of the 360s I was modding. I have no experience with any other flashers, so I would be hesitant to recommend a particular one. Maybe you could use a mail forwarder to get an xFlasher where you are. I happen to be in the US, so I didn't have to do this, but I've heard of people doing it for other things before... Good luck.
I did all this but I just can't seem to get it working right. It was able to read the Nand twice and I made sure to select the right settings for my console. Once I create xell and write it, trying to boot my Xbox just results in the green LED turning on but not spinning or loading into Xell. I double checked all my wiring and even reinstalled my postfix adapter. I also made sure to bridge the missing resistors and I am also using a 1k ohm resistor. I also redid all my soldering in case that was it. I also made sure that I didn't have any excess wire length. I did eventually accidentally pull pad 1, but I was able to to use the pad that connects to the pad afterwards. I have no idea what is up with my Xbox. Is it just the Pico not playing nice or am I overlooking something?

I have connected everything properly on Corona 4GB but I got this error: Checking Console... Console Not Found Console Not Found Does someone knows how to fix it?
Update: I have succesfuly read nand but when I create XeLL image and write it (I don't get message that it is done on jrunner but I get sound) and when I try to boot xbox it doesn't give picture, when I flash old nand, everything works. Could that be PLL bad solder or something else?
thanks that worked. Had some trouble with the 4gb corona. always gave me an error after nanddump2. Also another 4Gb Corona couldn´t find the console with pico, so i used an sd card adapter wich worked.
when i try to read the nand, jrunner says me: **********+JIT debugging ************** To enable Just In Time debugging (JIT), the configuration file of this application or equipment (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section. Application must also be compiled with debugging enabled For example: < / configuration > When JIT debugging is enabled, any exceptions are not controlled will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer instead of controlling it through the dialog box. how can i fix this?
I wish you would've finished the entire process: I am at create ECC, but I am not getting CPU Key just black screen. I am able to read and write nand on a 4gb corona. I am using your kit.
Hi, i was trying to solder my nand x wires but i think i did something because when i removed the wires and tested out the console it was just stuck on a green light and i dont know what to do.
you can also use old way by grounding crystal if encountering issue, it's actually more effective. that gp 21 only disable SMC but leaving Southbridge core & clock generator still running. one thing I also noticed all pins except gnd should be using 100R resistor for better protection, JRP, nand x, mtx has this installed by default.
Are you able to help me out with my new RGH. It’s having issues connection to Xbox live accounts. However it connects to Xbox live in the settings. I also get an error when I go to the dashboard
The fix isn't the order you connect for everyone. Some systems (including one I'm doing now) have 0v on the flsh_CE_N (CLK) pin (#2). Picoflasher will never read the NAND in this case - won't even find the console. Other issues are that some Pico boards will stop being recognized after the first flash - unplug and replug and jrunner won't see them. Seems to be a Picoflasher firmware issue.
@@willptech7565 Unfortunately I dont have enough experience with the 360 to tell you for sure - I'm in the same boat. The SD flasher is reported to work for some systems where the Picoflasher fails, and so too is the USB Flasher. Waiting on some confirmation now because there's no way I'm wasting any more time on this console until I know whether a specific HW will work with it.
@@willptech7565 Got confirmation USB Flasher is supposed to work, so I'll be ordering one of those tonight. I can buy another 360 for the same price, but if it's the same rev as the one I have now, I'd still be stuck. :)
The week end modder I need your help. My j runner is not programming my ace v3 iv tried everything and also my j runner is now solid red and I tried all the combos and the reset button without any success, please help, thanks
Sounds like you might need to re-flash the firmware file to the JRP itself. The switch that you need to focus on is the JRP-BL switch. If you look to the left of the switch you'll see that marking. That BL stands for boot loader, and you need it in that mode to re-flash the firmware to the JRP This video does a good job of demo'ing the reflash procedure: th-cam.com/video/WXsD7yB7-Os/w-d-xo.html
It depends on how good your iron is (so how accurate the control is) and how much heat capacity your iron has (determined roughly by weight). I keep mine at 350 C.
I've now done two rgh3 consoles with the Pico but for some reason I've been getting 0xffffffff errors on jrunner and then an hour later after playing with everything it will work again any idea?
