Xbox 360 Brick After Dashboard and Avatar Update?

[Gigabytes0777]

Hello everyone i just bought a used RGH Xbox 360 slim like a month ago and last night i decided to update the kernel and install the avatar update. Before i did this i was watching Mrmario2011 guides and doing my own research on the ConsoleModsWiki, I used the simple 360 NAND Flasher to dump the NAND and J-Runner with extras to create the XeBuild. After that i went back to the 360 NAND Flasher to update the kernel and it works perfectly, after the auto shutoff the Xbox boot up normally and then i update the avatar. Here's where the problems begins. After the update I played for about 3 hours and then I went to sleep, this morning when i try to boot up the Xbox again, the Xbox only give me a black screen and i failed to load Xell through the eject button, so basically all black screens from both the power buttons and the eject buttons. I'm so confused because if I did a mistake when I flashed the NAND or pick the wrong options on J-Runner, The Xbox supposed to brick immediately when trying to update the kernel right? Like right after the auto shutoff. Anyway is here anything that I could do to salvage this Xbox? Any help would be appreciated.

That really is a strange one, if you had done something wrong the Xbox 360 wouldn't have booted after you updated the nand.

Does the 360 give any indication of what might be up? RRoD or any indication from the ring?

THE LEGEND HIMSELF REPLIED The Xbox give no error whatsoever no RROD, No Error Code, just a green light and a black screen, and my controller keep flashing trying to find the Xbox even though i turn on the Xbox through the controller.

The 360 is almost acting like no HDMI cable is detected, maybe test the HDMI cable works with something else just to rule that out been faulty? sometimes it can be the most simple things.

So if you just leave it like that it doesn't eventually glitch and boot? If the HDMI cable works it might be the glitch chip (presuming one was used?)

Hello man sorry for the late reply, I tested my xbox with new HDMI cables and a different tv and still no pictures, I leave it for like 3 hours and no booting at all. I saw a blinking blue light coming out of the console, something that i never noticed before and it’s the glitch chip right?

That will be the glitch chip you can see flashing inside the console.

It's strange the console worked after you updated the nand, that's what has thrown me. Out of curiosity what did you select for the glitch type when updating the nand?

If you are in contact with the person who modded the 360 you could see if they will flash the nand backup you made before updating that 360.

Hey man, based on the info on the ConsoleModsWiki i'm assuiming i'm in RGH 1.2 and checked my Dashlauch and here's the info:
Board: Trinity
Flash: Trinity
Type: Glitch2
In J-Runner with Extras i chose:
Glitch2 and SMC+ and 17559 for the Kernel
there was no bad blocks too

And the previous owner did not mod the console himself, he just owned it because in my countries back in the day like 2008-2011 even official console reseller sold RGH Console only, no official Microsoft Xbox 360

It seems you have updated correctly based on what you have said, I mean the fact it worked for a few hours after you updated proves that.
I presume the update you used to restore the avatar data was 17559?

That makes me think the glitch chip could well have failed and its just a coincidence it happened shortly after you updated.

If you can get a hardware nand flasher and solder that to the motherboard, you could try flashing the previous nand backup just to rule that out.

You could maybe also try asking in the Xbox-Scene Discord: https://discord.gg/VcdSfajQGK - you will probably find people in there who have RGH hacked loads of Xbox 360's, so might be able to advise better.
