This is just a simple warning on the tutorial for upgrading your JTAG/RGH to a Dev Kernel.

I myself skimmed right passed this, and even if I had seen it, I wouldn't have been able to know what it meant, but now I do.

RAWFLASH means that you need to use a tool such as NAND X when flashing the Dev version of your nand to your JTAG/RGH. I made this mistake and looked into it, and now I have a bricked JTAG. If you try to do a normal flash, (even after placing the Filesystems folder on the HDD) using pure USB, with the Nandflash.bin and Xenon.elf, it will brick your JTAG/RGH. If you try using a Flasher xex on your JTAG/RGH, such as NAND Flasher 360 or Flash360 (or whatever you use), it will brick your JTAG/RGH.

The point I am making this is because many people don't have NAND X and don't know what rawflash means, and with the TU7 Menu release by H00ker, many people are going to be trying to make their JTAG's and RGH's have a Dev Kernel.

Vocab:

Brick :: The status in which your JTAG/RGH is utterly broken; won't boot etc.


To shine some light on you sad few that did brick your console: you can fix it by flashing the original JTAGGED or RGH'd (or whatever) nand, not the Dev nand, back with NAND X. Don't know where you can get NAND X, but oh well!

:O
I have done it and had no problems.

I Used my current NAND then used RGLoader to do it then the dev image I renamed to "updflash.bin" and put onto USB and used NAND Flasher and I have had no problems.


Unlucky thou dude

I used Flash360 and it worked just fine. You probably messed something up while building the image.

Flash360 Said Unknown Image To Me.

I used NAND Flasher which worked

Anyway is your boot time a tiny bit slower ?

It has to be a more common issue, or easy to make because I've had like 50% of people say it bricked theirs also, but, yeah I don't know :/

I did.

I don't get what I may have done wrong though, I looked over the tutorial PRECISELY and quadruple checked that I had done everything right.

EDIT: In the tutorial it said to flash using the Xenon.elf + nand on USB with XellReloaded. You guys say you used Nand Flasher 360 and it worked? Could that be why it bricked mine?

Wrong! RawFlash is a nand flashing utility that runs thru xell, sorta like flash360..
