1.0 Xbox, Xecuter2.2L+ (Which I've soldered all points with wires, including the alternate d0)

Alright, correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't the xbox FRAG if I don't have the external switch hooked up and d0 is properly aligned?

LED4 is on, and I used a multimeter to check as well, and d0 got a signal. So what gives?

What exactly is happening now?

Connect the switch up to the Executer and boot it up with the Chip turned ON. Do you see the Cromwell BIOS screen? Throw me a bone here, I can't help you out unless you describe your problem in greater detail.

The MS dash still boots up with the switch connected and turned on.

(If you're trying to include the problems I described a few days ago, don't. That's a different mobo.)

I took my chip and soldered 30 gauge wire onto all the points, then soldered wach wire onto its corresponding LPC point, and the alternate d0 point. I checked each point with a multimeter, and got a signal on each one.

With my switch hooked up, and turned on (On, Unprotected, Bank 1), the MS dash still loads. So I tried taking off the switch, hoping to at least get the Xbox to FRAG. However, it's still loading the MS dash.

The only thing I can think of is that your modchip has been flashed with an M$ bios (unlikely) or has not been flashed with any BIOS at all.

Do you have access to an Executer external programmer?

No, I don't.


But, if I disconnect the external switch, shouldn't it still FRAG, regardless of if I have a bios flashed on it or not?

The xbox will not frag if you dont have an external chip. It also will not frag with a blank mod-chip. No bios found on mod-chip = boot from tsop bios.

I have the chip, and it came preflashed.
Is there any way I can know for sure if it was flashed or not?

A programmer is able to read the bios.

I'm sorry to say, this is wrong. If d0 is grounded, the xbox boots to LPC, if there is a bios, the xbox boots, if not, it frags. Thats all there is to it.

But I used my multimeter to check it.

I put one end on the front d0, and the other end on my mod chip. My chip is wired to the alt d0 on the back of the mobo. I got a signal, which means that it's hooked up properly.

So when I disconnect the external switch, the xbox should FRAG. But it's not.

Does anyone have any possible reasons?
