Okay then so this is a tut on how get rid of christmas lights. Its the single most annoying thing in the world but is easy to get rid of
What you will need :
A broken JTAG
Your Original Nand
Your CPU Key
WinSCP
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Debian Live CD
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
JTAG Tool
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Putty (download the first one, putty.exe)
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
***IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT BOTH YOUR COMPUTER AND XBOX HAVE TO BE PLUGGED IN TO YOUR ROUTER VIA ETHERNET CABLE ****
1. Okay so first, burn Debian Live CD to a CD not a DVD. I shall repeat that a CD. Use image burn, whatever. Just burn it to a CD
2. When done burning, press the eject button on your jtag to boot Xell. Insert the disc when prompted (in Xell it says, waiting to read media file or something along those lines). When the disc is inserted, leave your xbox. The screen will go black after 1-2 minutes with penguins at the top. THIS IS A GOOD THING. THIS MEANS THE CD IS DOING ITS JOB .

3. When Debian CD is done doing its thing, this screen should appear. Take note of the ip address that is given to you. You will need this later. LEAVE YOUR XBOX ON FOR NOW.

4. Okay, so back to the computer now. What you will need to do is open up JTAG Tool. In JTAG tool, set the Device type to USB, select your motherboard, where it says freeboot at the bottom insert your CPU key, and then hit create.bin

5. When you’ve hit create.bin, find your original nand and hit open. A black screen will apear TWICE, so both times hit the enter key. Then, save the new freeboot image as freeboot.bin

6. Remember the IP address from your xbox. Good, because now you need it. Open up putty, and type in the IP address where it says host-name. Click open and a black box appears. Login as root and the password is xbox360. When done, press enter, and the screen that is on your jtag should appear in the black screen. NOW LEAVE PUTTY OPEN.

7. Go to winSCP and type your IP adress again into the host name bar, type in root into the username bar and xbox360 into the password bar. Change the file protocol to FTP and then click login.

8. Another window should open. Click the “images folder” and drag the freeboot.bin (from jtag tool) into here.

9. Go back to putty, where your screen hopefully should still be the same as your xbox’s. NOW LISTEN TO THIS CAREFULLY BECAUSE IF YOU GET THIS WRONG YOU’LL **** YOUR JTAG UP SO BADLY THERE’S NO POINT TRYING TO REPAIR IT. Type into the window :
xbrflash –w freeboot.bin
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
10. Press enter and it should reflash everything for you. When it is done, go to your xbox and turn it off VIA THE POWER CABLE AT THE BACK. UNPLUG IT COMPLETLY and leave it for ATLEAST 30 SECONDS. Reboot your xbox and BAM christmas lights are fixed.
Hope this helped people stuck +rep would be nice or saying thank you would be too. This is my first tut so any comments just fire at me. Thanks for you time guys

basically if you have a bad KV flash and stuff happens, 2 red and 2 green lights appear on your jtag and there called christmas lights. There a pain and when you get them you can't boot your jtag. Alot of the people i know didn't know about this method you see so i thought id post it on TTG

this is a better method and also this works for other errors, like the e74. This literally wipes your xbox of anything that is harming it, and resets it in a way. So it doesnt just fix the christmas light error, it fixes a few other ones as well
