Why are people on Adverts asking for the manufacture dates for XBOX S 250GBs?

So guess what. I opened it up and the board was...... A trinity!
An xmas 2012 console bundle with an MFR of june 2011 and a trinity board. What the hell are the odds!
justryan I hope you are just as lucky as I am.
Ah sweet goes to show the only way you can know for certain is to crack it open

That's crazy! Will you consider dual NAND now or still happy without?
You seem experienced at this so the equipment you order will be a good guide for me... along of course... with the guide I am using
There is less to do on a Trinity though, yeah?Ah sweet goes to show the only way you can know for certain is to crack it open

Yeah!
Well what I bought was the following:
coolrunner 3 Lite for the glitch
J-r programmer to program the coolrunner and to read the nand
And the following which I dont need as I only got just incase it was a corona
4gb nand r/w kit
postfix adapter for corona.
A trinity is a heck of allot easier to glitch. Just solder wires from the j-r to the board and wires from the cr3 to the board and j-runner and xell does everything else.
I will be doing my board tomorrow as its getting too late now and I would rather not solder when tired Will report back with results!
Here is where I bought my RGH supplies: http://www.modsupplier.com
They are australian but I got my stuff in two days with express shipping (20 euro)
all in all a trinity should cost about 50 euro with regular shipping.

http://www.modsupplier.com/catalog/xecuter-coolrunner-v3-lite-cr3-p-1041.html
Might find it cheaper elsewhere but they accept card
As for dual nand. I may do that in the future but for now it is not a priority 0 -

Is 60w not far too hot for that type of work?
Wit a variable you can vary the wattage up to 60 watt
I have read before that if you are good at soldering you should use 30 or 40 watt, and even 45 watt, but if you are a beginner use a lower wattage although this takes longer to melt the metal and can damage the board because of the time the iron is on it.
What wattage do you find works best?0 -
-
I already de soldered it but thanks anywayUpload some pictures of your soldering here and I'll see if I can advise you.What wattage will you set the 60W iron to for the XBOX? I was considering a weller non-variable iron from Amazon, I would like a variable but I am not sure I would use it enough to justify the expense.
Have you read reviews or anything on the iron you have ordered?
I will probably set the iron somewhere between 300-350 degrees.
I haven't read any reviews no but I know having a solder station is better than using a cheapy 20 euro iron from maplin like I was using.
I actually may have wrecked the points and will have to cut traces to do the hack using the cheapy iron. I need to get a multimeter to find out. I don't have one handy as I have no idea where my one is gone too.
I was also using lead free solder as it is all I had at hand. Don't do that... trust me :P
I also was using flux grease. I prefer something like this
Really should've gotten better supplies but I was excited to try the hack 0 -
For consoles I've never needed to use anything higher than 15/20w. The solder points on the underside of the 360's power block required a 30w though, but thats the exception rather than the rule imoI haven't read any reviews no but I know having a solder station is better than using a cheapy 20 euro iron from maplin like I was using.

What about a 20W name brand like Weller? I will buy a soldering station if I have to but they seem a lot more expensive.
Enternow, what were you doing with the solder block?
XBOX 360 arrived this morning
When I bought it I noticed it made noise when being moved, but I think that is just the fan etc moving around inside, is that normal with trinities?
It's also disappointingly noisy when on, almost as bad as the old sky digital box we have, maybe there's some mod I could do to quiten it.
I went throught the initial setup this morning, and the system wanted to run some update to test XBOX Live - currently it is on Dashboard 2.0.9199.0 - is there any reason not to allow it to update, any reason doing so would interfere with my plans to RGH and dual NAND?0 -

I've done everything from making arcade jamma test rigs to jtags all with cheap Maplin soldering irons {15w, 20w & 30w + selection of tips}. The more expensive ones including stations are ideal, but there's no real need to go spending big money unless your doing some real delicate stuff. I've never bothered with the RGH so can't comment on the soldering side of it, maybe high temps are needed?[/QUOTE]Enternow, what were you doing with the solder block?
Internal hdd mod for a jtag

Weller are a good brand and 20w is perfect for the job. The joints you will be making are small so you don't need constant heat. Just remember your prep work. Flux and tinning
Can't say I notcied my xbox making noise when moving but it may have as I was not paying much attention to that
Fan seemed ok too as far as xbox's go.0 -

20W Weller soldering iron it is then, thanks
I can hear it churning away now, sounds as loud as the old sky digital box and I can hear it from the other side of this room about 10 metres away. It seems to work fine though.
Maybe one of you could tilt your Trinity, if you have one, left and then right when off to listen and see if you hear what sounds like the fan moving?
From what I have read I think it's okay for me to allow the update so I can use Live, but I am uncertain with plans to RGH and then dual now if I should do this, do any of you know?
From the guide the most relevant info re upgrading the dash is:(RGH) Can be done on phats or slims (very unlikely to RROD) with any dashboard
(The next part I think only applies to phats?)Additionally when it comes to the RGH exploit there are actually two versions. RGH1 has better boot times but it stopped working after dash 14699 and only works on phat consoles (also some refurbs on this dash had their CB patched so that they cannot use RGH1 either). You will check your CB in the guide to make sure if RGH is your method). If your CB was patched, you are above 14699, or you have a slim you will have to use RGH2.
ALSO, if you have a phat and are RGH'ing it and you plan to use the DemoN you might have a dash that says can use the RGH wiring if your console is applicable; however, regardless on what method the flow chart says to can use you need update it to 14719 and use the RGH2 wiring if you plant to use the DemoN AND go online with a stock NAND. DON'T try to update over LIVE, use the official USB/CD method: http://e-arena.blogspot.com/2012/04/xbox360-official-dashboard-update.html
Otherwise you can use the RGH1 wiring (if your console applies) as long as neither NAND image you want to use goes above 14669.
Am I reading this right, I need to update to 14719 unofficially and no higher?0 -
