If you reflowed the console WRONG you'll get E73 because you broke some of the connections with the ethernet chip. This is a well-known noob mistake.

Out of the blue I just got 3 rrod ... 1020... Awesome!

Just tried reflowing and that doesn't seem to fix the issue at all....

It was working perfectly fine last I played.. All I did was add a fan header to my mobo (xeon) and now get this... just awesome. Thanks microsoft ,go suck a dick!

My son's HDMI Zephr Xbox has developed a fault.

Graphical artifacts then a swift 3 RROD
Secondary Code: 1313

Anyone come across that one yet?

My xbox is a falcon but only shows 3 numbers instead of 4?

it shows 0 1 0 then goes back to 3 red rings, is this normal?

It may be 0110 and if it were 3 it would not be normal and if it is 0110 the ram has a colder solder joint

Wow, you messed around with it and you blamed Micosoft for the screw up lol

Hello guys!

ok.. when I turn on my Xbox 360, I get the 1,3 and 4 lights flashing Red
As I read the threas at the beginning, that's a general hardware problem

So I tried to use the trick of holding the sync button and pressing several times the eject button until you get a 4 number code... but I usually just get all 4 lights illuminated... and that means a 0000 code... but there is no 0000 in the list

Even though I did get once a 0300 code, but it's not in the list either...

I tried to unplug all cables from the xbox, then reconnect them all... and removing the hard drive.. then turning on the console but I still get the same problem (1, 3 and 4 flashing red)


P.S. When I removed the hard drive and turned on the xbox, I tried the trick and got the code 0110, which means: "likely a Ram error, this can be caused by a cold or bridged solder joint on one of the Ram chips."
Could this be it? or I get that code just because I have my hard drive removed and then the console can´t recognize it connected to it??

Hope you can help me

0103 was a DVD drive error, on a 6717dash Falcon board.
Had the dvd drive out, while fixing E74, booted to dash and before the blades spread out, it went to e71.

I would like to add a new error i ran into today.

Not sure if it posted up....


When trying to retrieve the error code when RROD.

I would get all 0's (4 lights) no matter what. Even trying to push eject to keep getting the codes, it would constantly blink 0's never changing.

Sometimes it wouldnt even end the error code test, and just keep blinking on all 4 lights.

If you randomly get weird codes, all 0's or any other unusual reading...




1. Try pushing down on the video port (metal casing on mobo by ethernet port) while booting up.


This fixed the problem, either heat gun the area or find something to put pressure on. And Done.

I don't know much about the codes for the 360, but we have a black 360 elite and over the weekend it's stopped working. We hear it start up and the green lights do their normal thing and then the center will stay lit green, but nothing will come up over the tv. we can see anything nor hear anything. we've tried switching out the hdmi cables with the av cables it came with but that doesn't make any change, so we know it's not the hdmi cable. if anyone has ever seen this before or would have any suggestions, we'd greatly appreciate it!
you can email me at saranncahill@gmail.com

thanks!

^ try a video reset

I've got 2 boxes here with 0022, 1 with 0020 and 1 with 0003. Has anyone come up with a good fix for any of these yet?

The 0003 is an odd one, it had a 0022, I tried to flow the CPU a little bit, then it went to 0002 before the fans could even spin. Flowed the CPU and GPU a little, and now it's 0003 and the fans just start to spin before getting cut off. Any insight?

One of the 0022's used to run fine, until the CPU overheated a couple of times due to a heatsink issue. The 0022 popped up, I tried flowing the CPU a little bit, this lead to it powering on, but the ROL wouldn't spin green and there was no video out, and the controller would sync to it but then lose connection. No RROD would come up. I tried flowing the CPU a little bit more, and now it's back to 0022. I had just modded the drive prior to the overheating, could this have done something? (Samsung drive with ixtreme 1.61 using jungleflasher)

I thought it may be overheating, but everything was cool.

I bought a 3 rrod 360 for 30 bucks from this kid that supposedly didn't open the system, The warranty seal looked in tack guess it's possible for him to have used a hair dryer to remove but when I opened the console up the x-clamps were already off and it looked like someone had already attempted the fix as it had the washers and screws already on there (Not attached to the case). From my understanding when ms fix's a console they send out a refurb and throw a new mobo in your console then sell that as a refurb as well so I am wondering is there anyway they would have took the x-clamp off etc or he just lied?

Second question: I redid the x-clamp fix with artic silver and the fan at first would power on for a couple seconds then power off. I'm assuming it did this when I bought it cause it wasn't making any noise then either so I redid my work and the power supply blinks red then goes to orange while the 360 is still flashing the 3 rrod (It would stay green at his house). I don't think I overtightened it didn't hear a crack noise or anything. There is also no secondary error code. I've worked on other consoles before and have flashed a couple 360's but this is my first rrod repair rather disappointing needless to say.

Thanks for any help. I am hoping your not going to tell me the board is just fried lol.

I have been working on my xbox 360 for 2 hours straight now.

I bought it off craigslist and it powered on fine. After 10 mins with it on it over heated with 2 rlod. I tried starting it again and hers what happened:

The xbox starts normally then when the xbox lights spin at startup it will only reach the 4th light then the power shuts off but shows 2 rlod. So I looked at the error code which is 0011.

What could I be doing wrong? I put a thin layer on the cpu and gpu. the gpu also has foil on it and ONLY the gpu has an xclamp underneath which is attactched to the metal casing. The cpu side is screw,steel washer,nylon washer,mother board,nylon washer, steel washer, and then heat sink.

I dont understand why the xbox starts up fine till it gets to the 4th light.

If you can help me I can give you a little cash via paypal. You can reply here or send me an aim message to michael93myers.

PLEASE HELP!!!

THANKS!!!

This happened to me before, For me my GPU was cold, it only half booted cause of the x-clamp fix. I reflowed correctly with flux, and heatgun(i know not the best way) but its been working fine.

Hi Everybody,

I'm newbie here... and got problem on my XBOX 360 Xenon

About 2 days ago, i plug my internet cable to the console
And automatic show autoupdate ask for confirmation.

I think its only a minor update, so i just confirm the update.

After update.... the screen show message "System Error, contact xbox support bla bla bla..."
in the bottom there is an Error Code "E 80"

At the first page there is a fix, but i don't know what to do (I don't understand about the resistor and soldering).

From first page:
E80: Dashboard Error - Wrong LDV version in NAND Flash: This is in new dashboard. You have the update but haven't R3T6 resistor. You can:
-Downgrade to old dashboard, solder back the resistor and then update your xbox
-If you have CPU Key, get current NAND Flash image and fix LDV (just add 1 up to latest kernel). (See error 1100)

Anyone can help me with step for dummy?

thanks B4

Hmmm after reading through a lot of this I'm still stumped... One question I do have though, if there was a scratch on the motherboard and it did sever through traces would the system simply not work at all, or would it show a faulty error? I have E74 with 1022, did xclamp mod, heat gun trick, penny trick, etc and nothing works..?? But I did scratch a tiny piece of the motherboard not anyhere near the ANA chip though and I still get this error...

Hello. download the upgrade and put it on a usb stick.. put the usb stick into your console and try to update again turn it on then should do update automatically. maybe a bad update. make sure it's the same update you were trying to install too which is probably the newest one. hope this helps.

Hey guys,
first things frst im pretty new to new xbox at all, but i already modded/unbricked sucessfully some psps, wiis, ps3s and other stuff.(/edit im an it specialist and my dad was electrician with master degree(and more^^), hope i described everything right, so i've got really good acces to tools/parts/knowledge all over)
And this is the first board i register to about this because its the first pretty "trustworthy" i found ^^
Btt: i'd get an xbox from a friend, he had it now for about a year in his closet with 3 ROD, 0102, so he asked me if i wanted to give it a try or else he would trash it :/
So i tried> heat gun fix(like in a dumb yt video, isolated the sorrounds and heated only gpu chip, worked for 10minutes, rrod>0102 -.-), after getting more information i decieded to replace x-clamps with bolts and washers and replace the crappy thermal paste with AS5.
After getting it altogether again (dumb i know) i got 0020, loosed the gpu bolts a tiny bit and got 0102 again, now im going to do it all over again and try the heat gun fix again but without anything on the board and i wanted to ask you pr0s for tips^^
Should i try to to heat up also the cpu and/or ram too? Is it even possible to "reflow" or reowrk with a gun properly? it has a pretty good heat point and gets above 400° at level 2, but still im not certain about that method.
Some suggestions about duration/intensity/isolation or anything else? I already build a holder for the board when i treid the fix first, so a clean and steady environment is given.
Thx forward for all those who'll read this ^^(and sry for my english i'm german^^)
p.s: should/could i open a new thread?

I have an older Xbox360 (2005 manufacture date). I had it repaired by a local guy and it worked for a while then failed again. He replaced my original Xbox with one he refurbished. It worked at his shop and when I got it home I got the RROD. It is a Xbox without HDMI. I think it was re-balled. So my error is 3 lights 1,3,4. I then get all 4 so code 0, then position 2 only code 1, then position 1 code 1, then finally all 4 code 0. So I get 0110 Error. Sometimes when I cycle through it will blink 1,2,3 position lights. I have no idea of what to do. I have not read of anyone having it re-balled then still getting the error code. I want it to work so what should I do? I have read so many different techniques. What will work best for me?

I have a broken jtag. It had i think 0013 or 0103. I believe 0013. So i tried removing the x-clamps so i could heatgun it. And as I was removing it, I accidentally removed a small cube under the board. So I tried soldering it back, but my xbox now only turns on if the dvd drive is plugged in. It still goes to RROD. The secondary code is 1,2,4. Idk what error that is. Does anybody know how to fix it?

I also had a problem before.

Hey! I just fixed my RRoD, error code 0102... It was strange... I disconnected everything from the motherboard, and reconected everything, but I did not put the white air-flow thing back in. When I powered on, it starts! NO ISSUES! YAY!!! Let me know if this works for anyone else...

In New Zealand with a release console(non hdmi). Had a very professional guy reflow the motherboard on a Jovy 7500 machine, worked for a week then I get a corrupted screen occasionally completely filled with magenta or dark green/blue (RGB anyone?) then restarted it and got the 0020 RROD but the RROD is not persistent.

Any ideas on something I can try at home before i take it back to him to re repair it?

I hope Microsoft learnt their lesson and don't make any more games consoles.

I got a 0013 E13 after trying to write a falcon image of xellous to a xenon. Easily fixed by writing a xenon image.

I got something like: 3321

First off all, 3 Ligts will blink.
Than, again 3 lights
Than 2 ligths blink
And than 1 light will blink

That made 3321?
but can't find that code in the list.
Who can help me?

THX!

Any chance it could really be a 0021 ? Maybe 1 of your LEDs is not functioning on your RF module board. Try a different one if you have it on hand.

Here's one way to test that. Take out your A/V cords from the back. Then turn console on. 4 red lights are supposed to flash when the A/V is not plugged in. So if you see only 3 ... then 1 LED is dead.

I also have a 0021 error here, but, i can't understand how they started. If you know then please tell me how these was started.

This always fixed that stupid e74 error for me http://howtofixstuff.blogspot.com/2012/01/...-error-e74.html it is a bit tricky though

My Xbox360 is driving me NUTS!!!

I got the 3 Red Lights, so I did the x-clamp removal and re-greased my CPU and GPU. After doing that, when powering the Xbox up, the red lights are supposed to stay, right? Well, they don't. As soon as I turn it on, the lights are green and it works fine for a bit. It runs really loud and then if I turn it off and go to turn it back on, BAM, RROD. So, using another guide I checked the code, 3x 4 red lights, then 2 red lights - so code 0002. What the hell do I do? My Xbox has the RAM chips with the thermal pads on them, do I need to replace those? They seem to be in OK shape, but I'm not sure. I'm stuck here, I don't know what to do. Any help would be great.

Can't send it to MS either because it is now irridescent blue with 2 windows in it

I thought I should share my findings on error 0031,.....for me it was a bad nand flash that gave me this error.
I was returning one of my jtag's to stock, and I flashed what I thought was a backup of the original nand.(I had a few backups of it)
After pulling my hair out I decided to compare the backup I used with some of the other backups and realized I had a couple of them that must have been from another jtag,....and with my luck thats the bin I used.
So I simply soldered my LPT cable back on, and flashed the original bin to it.
No more 0031 and all is normal now.

I hope this helps

Hi Koolio 12, I really could do with this guide as my probs fall within this range. I had a dvd open prob before I set out to flash my liteon -16D2S (02510C) phat drive I think it's a falcon but not sure. I am using jungleflasher. I've seen something like 2007 2nd generation also. CK3i and X360USB Pro could not open drive door. It only opens when connected to xbox with a disc in in it and played perfectly well. The dvd drive died during flashing attempts, I bought and installed a new motor but it is no use. My only hope despite bad data and so many weird errors is that I managed to get what looks like dvd key: DVD Key@ A030 FE00AAD8586D5B018A5C57D2E7C9C58F, Inquiry string found, Identify string found, dump.bin
then I get the following error: Can’t open file C:\Users\THE HINSONs\Desktop\TODAY FLASHING LITEON
02510C\FLASHING XBOX360\firmware\LTPlus-0251-v3.0.bin
Drive back into xbox all the lovely green lights will do its own stuff but suddenly a red light will appear at bottom right and stay on, the screen then will turn blackish with system error E64. I joined this wonderful caring Xbox-Scene in the last hour or so please forgive my ignorance. The guide you have provided will not open for me that's why I've chosen to use you as my first contact. Thanks to you or any one who can help.

Ahm, I would just like to highlight 3 key notes about fixing Xbox 360 problems.

#1 tip to avoid Xbox red ring of death is to prevent Xbox overheating.
#2 never try to re-solder Xbox your own unless you are knowledgeable at it or you have a repair guide with you.
#3 Don't wrap the damaged Xbox 360 console with a bath towel, it will not do good to your Xbox.

You know what..I've been an Xbox user for quite some time and I encountered the error 0102 but I fixed it through the help a repair guide and a helpful resource..you can check out this resource: Fix Xbox 360 E74 Code it helped me fix my Xbox 360 so it may also help you..hope this helps..If you can't find the solution in that resource, your last resort would be to send your console to a repair center and have it fixed for a fee.

ok so 1st my xbox shows 3 red rings.i use the common method and i fix it.after the disc tray doesnt open.i open it and fix it again.later i insert battlefield 3 in,hopefully that i will play after an exhausted day that i spented along with the xbox.but the game freezes.i turn the xbox off then on and 1 rrod appears.i again turn it off and on and a e71 error appears.after 5-6 turn offs and ons the console works.i immediately copy all the HDD files to a usb stick in order to keep data.also i delete system cache also known as temporary files.i eject both the usb stick and the HDD, i insert Forza Motorsport 3 to play and when i choose a car the machine freezes again.i have spent 3 days trying to fix this machine and i cant find a solution.when i solve one problem another one pops immediatelly.should i just throw it to the recycle bin or do something else???

This may be a new one.
Green power light for a second.
Followed by 4 blinking red rings with the center light blinking green to yellow. It was doing this if the AV cable was plugged in or not.
Eventually after about 10 times trying to boot the thing "CRACK!" a capacitor popped and stunk up the place.


This was a JTAG xenon I've had for years and it just decided to do this today.
