I have a chameleon 1.3 and a 1.0 xbox. I just updated my dashboard with the new live one (with the mod chip off) I also got the new version of xbtool 1.0.8b12 to do some color modding. After making my changes and flashing the bios the xbox's led started out blinking green durring the orb screens (which it wasn't doing before) and then changing to the solid red after the X logo screen (like it should have been from the start). This bios was the same that I was using before, but after the dash upgrade the led was working a bit screwy. I tried changing colors and saving the modded bios under different names and reflashing, but the same results occurred each time. I also changed my evox.ini to be able to flash and switch to all banks in version 4:
| CODE |
Section "Chameleon Mode 4",ID_Chameleon_Mode_4
{
Line "Mode 4 (2x256k + 1x512k)"
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 0 (Main 256 k)",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 1 (256 k)",ID_Chameleon_Bank_1,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 2 (512 k)",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Full_Reboot
Line "-=*-*=-"
Item "Flash Bank 0 (Main 256k)",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 1 (256 k)",ID_Chameleon_Bank_1,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 2 (512 k)",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Flash_Bios
} |
Which was working fine before the upgrade, I could flash and switch to each memory bank without any problem. After the upgrade if I try to flash Bank 2 (512 k) the flash appears to go ok and the xbox shuts off. When you try to switch to the new bank it starts to load the orb screen and then freezes at the bright flash of light right before the Xbox Logo screen appears. The same thing will happen to Bank 1 after flashing Bank 2. If I just flash bank 1 it loads the new bios ok.
Did M$ do some switching arround of how the bios loads or are there problems with the new version of xbtool. Any help would be apperciated.
