Mod Identification Options

[ShadyMilkman18]

Okay, so in brief, my xbox froze during bios flash and I didn't mod it or really know anything about it. I'm trying to figure out what type of mod is installed here because I don't know what the original BIOS used was. If anyone can help me out (at least tell me something about the mod I hope), check out the link to the photo. Thanks.

looks like you have a ver1.0 or 1.1 with a tsop flash and a switch... if your lucky you may be able to recover by switching to one of the lower banks(you would need to install an additional switch)... if that doesnt work you could restore your tsop with a 29 wire "XRAY" chip.... or just permanently chip the box with a DuoX2 or something similar...prolly the easiest route...

Yah I've got a version 1.0 XBOX. I'm not too experienced with soldering, so I'm not sure quite what to do yet. Thanks for the suggestions btw.

While visiting that picture link i found three lovely ladies and had a great time LOL

Also while i was there i too found out that you seem to have a tsop flash with a switch. Flick the switch and see if it boots to a hacked bios otherwise take it to an installer and get them to fit a cheap lpc modchip such as the duox2 in allways on mode as this would be the simplest and cheapest way to get this baby running again.

Yep Filled LPC holes tells its a v1.0.
And its a TSOP switchmod 2x512Kb (only one switch)

I would go for a repair (reflash bad banks)

if you lucky a savegame exploit is still on your hard drive...
check for Mechassault, Bond 007, och Splinter Cell..
(these are very cheap to buy, (MS classics))

Everyone - thanks so much for your help.

Is it possible (given where I'm at), to flash the bios on my own? I don't think there are any saved exploits on the drive but I'll have to check on that. Can I put the HD in my PC and then load a game to do an exploit or do I need the real deal?

Okay, that was a dumb question, and I can't edit again.

So would it be to my benefit to purchase a game and run the exploit or get a chip?

if you xbox is still booting normally from a stock bios (gets you to the MS dash) then you can get a game to run an exploit with (assuming you have a way of getting the gamesaves you need off of a computer and onto a memory card or your hard drive).
A chip will solve your problem (it wont fix the bad flashed bank), but it would allow you to get the hacked gamesaves on the hard drive a lot easier.

Okay, I got a hold of 007 AUF that is exploitable. Now the issue is attempting to figure out how I access this hard drive. I've got a tower I can put the PC in, but so far my attempts to access it have been unsuccessful. It is to my understanding that I can't unlock the HD without using the original HD - which I don't have. I'm trying a few different things right now, reading everything I can. Any good suggestions on this one?

Try the 3 wire trick to try to boot one of the bottom bios images. Maybe there is a bank not corrupt. With that set up your are only accessing the top bios image so look into the 3 wire trick or switches for 4 banks.

Unfortunately I don't have a soldering iron and I'm not too proficient with that end of things...I might try to get in touch with a friend whose pretty good at soldering to get it taken care of. Until them I guess I'm SOL.

Is it possible to do the 007 AUF hack from a memory card? As in, can I dump the 007 with raincoat on a memory card and then load that game? I've already got 007 AUF, a memory card, and a usb converter so I can access my memory card via action replay.

once the gamesave is on a memory card, you would have to copy it to your hard drive through the MS dashboard. If it's not on the hard drive the game wont recognize it.

Okay, so far so good. I was able to get the gamesave copied over to the HD and the exploit began working - power light went orange and all the sounds were made. However now I just have a black screen, its been like that for 20 minutes. I powered it off and turned it back on and everything still works. Any ideas on this one?
