    For a long time i used the R-JTAG because at the time RGH2 was very very very slow...

    I then stumbled across a method of wrapping around the CPU_RST wire around the outer edge of both heatsinks then coil the remainder over the southbridge chip,

    this worked only but the once until i moved the wire :p

    so i kept searching and found another method where you place your coolrunner on top of the A/V shield then feeding the wire over the metal fan clip then coil it over the plastic fan shroud down to the CPU_RST solder point like so

    Its best to use the slim cpu_rst wire in your phat console (its 50-60cm)

    i cut my wire down to 50cm then cut 1cm off each time until my results improved.

    Coil the wire around the fan shroud like ive shown you in the picture, do it enough times so it doesnt leave an excess when you solder it to the point (its best to tape it down because you might have to move it around or coil it less so once you feel happy with your boot times glue it down, as if the tape unsticks your console will get crap boot times again)


    CR3 Lite settings:

    I used "A" to program my CR3 in JRunner (RGH2 Tab) (Jasper)
    "C" for Falcon
    (Try different ones to find your best result as every xbox is different)

    CPU_RST Length: 46cm

    LK1 - Short (You can also bridge this point to save soldering to the HANA, as they both do the same thing)
    LK2 - Open
    LK3 - Open
    LK4 - All Open

    If your still getting bad results try shorting LK2 and see if that has helped, its better to leave it open and test your boot times that the other way around

    S2 DIP Switch

    For best results have DIP 1 and 5 ON - and the rest off.
    Turn your xbox on and off 5 times and write down your boot times, then take out the power cable for 30 seconds and try it again. If your results are consistant then start turning DIPs on or off (either slow or fast but in the same time frame)

    If your boot times are above 2 mins then start turning your dip switches either on and off
    make sure you only have 2 dips on at a time

    e.g

    2-7
    1-8
    4-6

    also dont have 2 dips on in the same resistor/capacitor range (2-5 are resistors/ 6-8 are capacitors)

    S4

    LEAVE ALL DIPS ALONE AS THESE ONLY EFFECT RGH1


    I hope this has helped you improved your boot times :)
