Can't Get Vga To Work, Xbox 1.0, softmodded with ndure 3.1, no F-Drive Options

If you're not using a VGA bios, how did you get a working image on an HDTV via its VGA connection?

Via ndure 3.1?

[xboxmods2977]

Oh, yea. No different whether you are soft modded with a VGA bios, or hard modded with one.

[AnnaOlum]

Doesn't matter now - I think I botched my Xbox. Flashed the TATX_Debug_Dual_VGA_LameOne_beta BIOS on my TSOP and now it doesn't go further then the Xbox bootscreen.

[AnnaOlum]

Can I fix this?

[xboxmods2977]

OK

1. That was dumb. If you wanted to flash a VGA bios, why didn't you come back to ask someone which bios to use? A suitable VGA bios would have been X2 5035 or iND 5003

2. Not sure what your options are as I don't know much about debug bios'. Try downloading, burning, and booting a rescue CD, such as Hexen and hope that it boots. If it does, use that to flash one of the bios files I have noted above. If it doesn't boot, you may have to buy or build a modchip.

EDIT: Maybe Heimdall can comment here.

Thankfully I got into EvoX with Heimdall's disc and got to flash the iND 5003 BIOS.

Nah, I meant the X2 5035.
But after the logo it doesn't boot to a dashboard. Is the TSOP flash incompatible with the softmod and do I have to rebuild my hdd?

[Heimdall]

Did you rebuild the disk with HeXEn? If not then that's your problem - the softmod dash and the TSOP dash are in different places.

[AnnaOlum]

How do I rebuild the hdd with HeXEn?

Another thing: Did I flash the wrong BIOS for VGA? I used the "X2 5035" not the "FrostyTheSnowman and Xman954's X2 5035 VGA BIOS v1.0 (fixed)"

For VGA, you want to flash the Frosty version of the 5035 bios.

[AnnaOlum]

All right. Thanks for your help!

Hm. Now the next problem occured. I flashed the box with Frosty's X2 5035 BIOS and now I don't get an output (it boots into XBMC and can I hear sound but I don't get an image) on my HDTV - neither with mode 1 + 3 (VGA) or mode 2 + 3 (HDTV).

Frosty's uses mode 2+3, so keep that in mind when troubleshooting. Check resolution settings on the xbox, maybe try using your CRT monitor to do so.

[AnnaOlum]

Already checked that and also the wiring and chip. Everything is in order.
But it's still not working.
