    So yeah. Today I made an RGloader NAND for my RGH2 Falcon Xbox 360 console. It was successfully uploaded into the NAND. Upon pressing the button, the fans were spinning and my console didn't boot up. I unplugged the power cable and tried to start it again.

    Yet again, the console didn't want to glitch through the dashboard so I unplugged the power wire again and.... now my console doesn't even start. If I push the power button, nothing happens... The power block shows me the orange light, the coolrunner inside glows in red, but I can't start the d8amn console. I can't even load Xell.

    My question is did someone have this problem before? Can a faulty NAND brick a console? Is there a point to wire JR programmer and upload the normal "Freeboot" NAND? Thanks in advance!

    UPDATE. The RGloader NAND broke my console.
    I was lucky enough to have JR programmer in my storage. Flashed the NAND with my Freeboot NAND and it worked, my console is ALIVE again! Thank you all, who tried to help me!

    Reflashing the NAND with your previously working freeboot image should get it booting again. Been a while since I've flashed a 360 but a bad nand image was 90% the reason for a bricked jtag/RGH.

    I've read that RGloader mongs out when dashlaunch is present.

    Thanks for the hint! I will try to solder JR programmer and see if I can fix the console!

    It would be so much easier if I could load the Xell, but yeah, the console doesn't even start...

    Load your previous/working flash onto the tool which generate updated kernel images, it may salvage the required settings for your exploit and generate a working update image automatically.

    Certain exploit types require very specific data on the NAND, some even require bits of the original factory NAND image to work. So NEVER EVER lose the original data for your board as you might need to be able to recover from data loss.
