301-013 Flash codes not recognized

[satcando]

Tried 2 versions of jkeys 2.9.1.1 and 301-013c, both indentify the ird and boxkeys properly but when I go to Flash programming I get the message (Flash codes not recognized at 1/62F6(JEDEC) 103/3130 Flash File. Jkeys is grayed out so it won't let me go any further. Would appreciate any suggestions.
I have grounded R79 from top and Pad 1 from bottom and am using a simple jtag that has worked fine on the 6 previous 013's I have just finished. Have tried with vid mod on and off, same results.

Any locks installed?

103/3130 flash file usually indicates a totally blank flash, did you erase it?

This is the way I got it. Have not been able to get into flash programming to do backup or complete vidmod.

Is there a procedure to access flash programming to reload a file?

Skinerd might have another solution. Till then go Download wall2 it's in the echostar files section towards the bottom. Then read this http://www.dssftp.com/forum/upload/showpost.php?p=196992&postcount=6

Printed teaBisuit's guide from your link. Downloaded Wall and installed.
Turn on ird and start Wall - comes up (id is incorrect) Click on erase flash them ok, says flash is erased immediately (don't think this is correct) Unplug ird and shut down Wall. Restart ird and Wall. Load bin at 1FC00000 have to manually set length to1FCD5555. Click program flash then ok. It takes a long time to get the first bar on the progress indicator takes some more time then it flashes to the end as complete. Still no power light. Have tried it with R79 grounded and ungrounded, no difference. First time trying Wall so am unsure as to what to expect.

Don't use wall on a 301-013 it is not needed and you will be extremely fortunate to get it to work.

The best way to proceed with your problem is to erase the flash and start over, you wil prolly have to edit a jkeys def file, unless you can find some other physical reason that you can't access the flash, if editing the def file allows you tsop access, then you can recover, if the edit ed file won't allow access, there is a physical probem, prolly a bad connection or inadvertant trace cut, solder splatch, or something similiar.
There are several jkeys.def file editing postd, do a search and you will find out how, it's extremely easy.

First off thanks for your help. Found Baruskie's jkeys def file post. Edited def file and was able to access the flash programming. Reflashed with a DAPD and everything went properly as well as doing the vidmod. Power light will not come on. Have redone the erase an reflash 3 times, same results. No power light. Any suggestions or is the ird dead.

Erase SA49 if it's a 301 single tsop, that should make the light come on and stay on as it corrupts the flash, then if the light does come on, stream it and see if it updates.

Reflashed Tsop, installed virgin eeprom changed 7FFFFFAC to 0000, erased SA49. Reconnected SB35 and disconnected R79,still no power light. The challenge goes on.

SB35 is at 3.22 volts

Reading in jkeys it recognizes IRD, boxkeys and build configuration DAPD but for
Bootstrap - q8D6
Model ID - q0E
Software - P1x3
It does not matter which build configuration I use those 3 items are scrambled. Is it possible the Tsop is damaged? All erases and reflashes have been done with vidmod on and confirmed 12 volts at SB 35. All reads with corrupted info has been done with vidmod off and 3.2 volts confirmed at SB35

[skinerd]

That sure looks like a corrupted tsop.....reflash with any single tsop 301 file you can fine, you'll be fine.

Reflashed with 6 different flashes with the same garbled info. Decided to erase 1 sector at a time. SA8 comes back with(Flash operation completed with incorrect data read back), then error erasing sector.

Flashing with R79 grounded? If so then you may indeed have a bad flash chip.

Not what I wanted to hear, but I think you are right. I will get the chip changed and keep you posted.
I appreciate all the help I have received from this great site. Even if this receiver never works again I have learned a ton from it.
