I can not find any information about flashing the tsop using the chameleon. Does anyone have pointers on the process.

read this
TO THE MODS , PIN this guide , it's working 100% and i think a lot of guys are waiting for this !!!

Ok this is what i did , i had flashed my tsop with a bad bios , the result was : No AV signal and the dvd tray would not eject anymore.

This is what i did to fix it (took me 4 days to get it right):

First my configuration:

XBOX 1.3
with this chip:
W49F020T-90B

Step 1:

Make sure the 2 points on top of the motherboard are soldered OK.



Step 2:

Connect D0 (otherwise chameleon won't boot) AND A15 !!!
if you don't know where to connect them to , get this :

and take a look at fig 3b

Step 3:

I set my chameleon to Mode 1 , this means 4x256kb .
Boot your chameleon with a bank , wich contains a valid bios (example mine had in bank 0 , the xectuter 2 4977 )
Flash another bank of your chameleon with the d6 tsop bios , it's included in the latest evolution-X dashboard 1.8.3921.
If you don't know what to add to your evox.ini , so you can flash the seperate banks in evox dash , take a look here :

Step 4:

So in my case i flashed the d6 tsop bios in bank 3 .
Now you have to set the dip switches to that bank , so the chameleon boots the d6 tsop bios.
In my case ; to boot from bank 3 i had to set dip1 and 2 OFF and dip 3 and 4 ON.
So now my chameleon boots the d6 tsop bios.

Step 5:

I used the 007+raincoat trick now. What the d6 tsop bios does , is when you use it on your chameleon, it automatically uses the A15 to flash you tsop , instead of the chameleon.
Raincoat detected my WINBOND - W49F020 (256k) , erased whole chip and flashed it with X2 v4977
and it worked !!!!
it took me 4 days , but now my tsop is recovered !


Conlcusion : CHAMELEON OWNZ !!!!!!!

P.S. : special thanks to team XODUS for helping me out !

Glad to hear you got your box fixed... Always sucks when something goes wrong but, it's fun fixing it in the end.

Here's the question for you.

1. Did you still need to bridge the points on the motherboard to flash the tsop as you normally do or not?

2. Do you still need to copy a savegame to the hd?

3. Do you still need to use 007 AUF to load the gamesave?

4. Having the Chameleon installed, can this be a dvd-r or does it still need to be original? I wouldn't see why you would need the original loading from a modified bios.

5. If some of those are the same, I assume you load and run rain 007 gamesave the same as before, correct?



I think that would cover everyones questions and mine as well, thanks!

1. yes
2. no
3. no
4. can what be a dvdr?
5. you dont need to run 007 if you are using a chameleon

Ok got it to work

Chameleon was installed with all wires connected and boting from bank 0

The two connections were soldered on the MB

flashed bank 3 with the 256k tsop d6 bios that comes with evox using chameleon settings under evox

set chameleon dip switches to boot from bank 3 (d6 tsop)

the start screen was blue and yellow.

selected flash bank 0 under the chameleon settings in evox

evox did confirm that it would write to the Hynix (tsop) chip .

selected boot form tsop (disable chameleon) in the chameleon settings

evox loaded

uninstalled the chameleon

evox loaded

my tsop is flashed.

My xbox don't start becuase of a bad tsop flash.. Can I reflash it with a chameleon chip using the same method that pepper453 did?

I just did another 1.0 box using the same method. I'm flashing the tsop with a custom 256k, hope that is ok. I guess a box with a bad tsop would boot from the chameleon. Should work. I don't know why 007/raincoat is eaven needed?

could the tsop be flashed with cromwell then be reflashed using a cd with whatever?

My vote is to post this. I've been looking for a guide like this for a while now.
