what mod chip are you using exactly??
Also what bios are on it?
And what do you mean by "eats shit" lol when it is turned on?? Red/Green flashing?

okay... let me start off that im not a n00b and have installed about 50 pros already...
but seeing that i didnt explane that some might think that i tried to install the engimah
X2 pro and lite both were attepted
both with 4976.02
and at first it was a simple pin header then sense that didnt work i did a solder of the wires... and eats shit meaning it frags 3 times.

seeing how i posted this on sunday and no one gave a shit till teamxecutor finally came across one...

is that a LE xbox?
(green case) ?

nope its a black case

just to make sure ... is your xbox still working without modchip? (means d0 via is not broken)

and could you tell me what's written on your nvidia chip?

I have the same box as this guy, and I'll tell you whats on my nvidia chip (the mpc? or gpu? well, I'll leave the heatsink on for now and tell you MCP)

NVIDIA MCPX X3
FB0627.1 0251D1

[EDIT]
Oh, and my xbox works just fine without the mod turned on, and I assume his is the same way.

version: K:1.00.5101.01 D:1.00.4920.01 under system info

Some extra question

What was the color of the box your xbox was in ?
What's the man. date ?
Is that a PAL NTSC/U or NTSC/J xbox ?


Thx for the MCP info ... that was what I was looking for , not the GPU info.

color of the box... it looks like the older box's, except it DOESN'T come with the 2 free games anymore, still Type-S controller, most stores should be carrying them soon.

Also, there's a new typeface for the MFG date sticker on back, i'll try to get a pic when i can, the font is thinner and more stylish.

My mfg date is 2003-03-12

Also the other sticker (the one with a screw under it, near the front) is more of a warranty void sticker now, it looks checkered if you try to peel it off, (its also a clear plastic sticker with foil underneath, and the foil easily rips) so its much harder to look unopened now, beware.

And the long screws are now normal steel color, not black

Its a NTSC/U box, bought it at WalMart here in WA state.

[Edit]
Serial Number? for some reason I don't really know if I should post that info, due to what i've seen in the past, convince me otherwise and I might post it if you think its relevant.

Seems the info I'm giving right now is for identification purposes, is there anyway i can give info that will help to crack the rc4 key? maybe help out the xecuter team or something.

Oh, one more thing i noticed on the board, besides bios chip not being winbond, the power connector is opaque white, not translucent.

because i dont care of the serial number i will post all the info.
NTCS/USA
shit i ripped off the sticker with the serial on it.

PS2 modders have been confronted with this for years. This is very easy to get around. All you need is a heir dryer and a razor blade.

From what I'm told Team Xecuter is working on a new BIOS for this new RC4 key in the new XBoxes. Hopefully it will be out shortly.

BAD BAD Mîcrosoft do pull some thing like this on us.



So what do you guys think? Safe to call this thing a Ver1.3?

Well, perhaps not, once a new bios comes out that fixes the problem it will be almost indistinguishable from the 1.2.

I think its gotta have some motherboard changes (I don't know if the ST bios chip is exclusive to this new version) just sounds like a software update to me, or maybe a new revision of the chips, but its hard to tell the difference... Maybe we'll call it a 1.3, maybe we'll call it 1.25, or 1.2a, or b.

Anyway, the last news post I read from Team Xecuter said they'll work on it as soon as they get ahold of one... and I have no idea how long that'll take

Hope we don't wait too long.
