(*) Don't blame the chip for everything, try the xbox without the chip!
(*) Errors are explained at

(*) Led on chip is fine, but xbox boots to M$ dash, THEN CHECK D0
(*) Flashing Red and Green (aka FRAG) mean one of the LAD lines is not correct, check soldering or adapter

(*) Parallel LCDs will not work unless u use and adapter SPI2PAR (green giant can provide u one)
(*) Prefered method of XOS update is by CDRW
(*) Putting Recovery.bin in E: drive and selecting Recovery in XOS will also do the trick
(*) If recovery screen appears, check if the switch is over the spot
(*) For Xbox v1.6 u must hav the hard disk unlocked for the upgrade
(*) And remember, if you used the XOS2 HDD wizard be sure to delete the files in E:\CACHE on the upgraded drive!
If you fail to do so, LIVE enabled games (That is, games that can use LIVE)
will freeze when you try to load them.
