GREAT GUY!!! He Modded my XBOX and did a great job! He took extra time to explain things to me and took extra steps to insure the mod was done right. All my friends where scared to get their XBOX modded until they came and played on mine once he was done. One of my friends went the next day to get his modded. Now I have six others just waiting for some extra cash and then are going to him for the mod!! This guys is very helpful and he knows his stuff. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!! - Tony

This guy is handsome, outgoing...oh shit wrong post ohmy.gif. Anyways, he did a TSOP flash on mine and it works like a charm. What else does he do...actually, what can't he do? He's Super-Fred aka Robochicken. Still have no idea where the f*ck he got that name from.

For real though. He knows his shit. wink.gif

Skewing into a different tangent...

Don't ever, EVER, Ever, ever choose Partition 6 takes the rest of the drive and "Ignore partition table". I reflashed my BIOS (M7) and chose those options...

1. It started to frag...Error 13 huh.gif

2. If it did boot, Evox was fucked...well, it forgot the settings like the evox.ini file got corrupted. dry.gif

3. Before I fixed it, (reflashed using Slayer's), I FTP'd into the Xbox and looked at the contents in C: and everything was deleted. Kind of shit is that?! mad.gif

Note:
I really started noticing this when I uploaded Ninja Gaiden too...

Hey Ferd...

Do me a favor and check out the post I made under "No boot" under the newbie topics. I fubar'd an Xbox I think...shit I'll just put it in here.

Okay this is the scenario...

My boy wanted me to go ahead and TSOP flash his 1.0 with an ST chipset on it. Anyways, I solder the points...boot it up and here's the sequence it goes through. It boots, turns off, back on, turns off and then alternately goes Orange to Red with no video. Tried to just boot off the DVD drive with a game and still no go. Don't know what heezy I did. So I took it apart again and removed all the solder points and still no go. Does the same thing.

Just wondering if you ever read a post on something like this or have come across this problem. If ANYONE has run across this problem, please PM me or add a reply to this topic. Thanks.

What up Cyrus - glad you guys are having fun biggrin.gif

I'm actually having fun doing this. Plus I've learned so much from the scene and from my customers I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you right back

Hey Robotic Chicken,

I didn't realize that my 1.0 had an ST chip on it. Anyways, I've been TSOP'n 4 Xbox's every other day. Being busy is to say the least. Anyways, since you're thanking your customers, I think it's time to give credit where credit is due.

Fred will not hesitate to show you what's up. He basically knows the 'In's' and 'Out's' of the XBox. When I had problems with TSOP'n certain XBox's, he would always help me out. He would be the first and last person that I would turn to for assistance. I've known Fred for quite some time now and that's the type of person he is...always helpful. Again, thanks for the help Fred...I owe you a hug...okay that was gay. Okay more like a beer. Okay you can't drink alcohol...umm I'll give you a high five. How's that?
RoboChicken

yea, who else do you know gets f'd up from one wine cooler laugh.gif

Anyway, to all who don't know- sdpnoy is a pretty damn good TSOPer. Also highly recommended and popular in San Diego. Cris, it's been crazy hasn't it? Let me know if you get swamped and I'll back you up. I'll do the same

About that 1.0 you got there- did you try following that tut and try booting the first 256k of the TSOP? Let me know if you have probs and I'll hop the fence and we'll work on it

I haven't tried it. Kinda gave up on it last night since I had 3 other box's I had to flash. That particular box has been giving me problems. If push comes to shove, I might have to just but the Halo Edition XBox and give that dude my old one. We'll see what's up. But I will try that first to see what happens. Hopefully it will work.

History on that box:

-v1.0/ST chipset

So yah I spilled solder on the legs of one of the chips a while back. Desoldered and I was good to go. Desoldering braid is one of the bets things ever made. AUF007, flashed with M7ef and it booted it up properly. Evevn loaded Slayer's on the retail HDD. Time passes on and the guy FINALLY gave me the money for the HDD and being the nice guy that I am, I went ahead and bought a 120gb HDD for him yesterday. Installed it, loaded Slayer's, FTP'd and put my evox.ini file and +3935. So I tried to FTP from Xbox to XBox to load my back up games wink.gif on his XBox. It had a hard time just creating the folders. Decided to reflash the BIOS. Loaded M7 and as SOON as I pressed 'Y' to flash, the bitch just turned off, wanted to restart and it did a 3 reboot cycle. Got the Red-Green Alternating. So that's my worse story ever on TSOP'n an XBox.


Tonight:

I'm going to try and do this: So You Screwed Up Your XBox and see what happens. Like I mentioned above, if this doesn't work, it looks like I'm running down to Fry's and picking up a Halo Edition XBox for myself.

Anyways, wish me luck. I have all this time at work that's why I'm posting this. Whoever's reading this might have a lot of time on their hands also.

Robochicken:
Whenever YOU get slammed, let me know. I'll do the same but I don't do as many boxes as you do. biggrin.gif

Thanks for the props on TSOP'n by the way. Learned from the best. wink.gif
sdpnoy
Update:

The shit didn't work. Robochicken helped me out...basically did all of it and it looks like the TSOP is fubar'd.

Anyways, I picked up a LE Halo XBox today. Hopefully it will have a Sammy, if not, I'll just take it out of my other XBox. Planning on flashing it today. I know this doesn't belong on here but FUCK. I'm bored at work.

Great job and took the time to answer questions. Most of all pointed me in the right direction to help myself. Everything was done in a day.
Took a friend and he is happy also!

If you need it done right in the San Diego area, this is the man to see!!!!

Okay so yesterday I picked up the Halo Box. Came with a Phillips. ST chipset. TSOP and all is good. biggrin.gif
Toeknee
Figured i'd add another reply. Since my first reply I had a friends girl friend buy him an XBOX and a hard drive for a surprise b-day present. I called up fred and he modded the XBOX that day. He's a really honest guy and will do anything he can to help you out. I have a couple other friends that I'm going to send his way.

BTW, as soon as I find some time and extra money....i'll be getting the jewel and dongle mod. beerchug.gif

80$ for the trade in at EB totally worth it. Gotta hit up lsdiodes - green leds galore!

Hey ToeKnee - thanks for the business man. Give me a call when you're ready - no charge for the dongle and we'll work something out with the jewel mod

Hey Bro...

We still gotta get the Cathode tubes in there to light the bad boy up. I'm going to try and make it out to CompUSA today to see if they have it. Am I looking for the tube or just the cathode fan? I got confused. ou did mention that we were going to place it on top of the DVD drive. Just call me up or I'll check on this again.

You pretty much always find the cathodes already screwed into a fan. The CompUSA close to us stocks Antec and they had some greens last I checked. We want to secure it to your cd/hdd because we don't want any adhesive or tape showing from the top of your case since it's see through. It could just sit there fine without anything holding it in place since the lip will hold it down but it will be tricky to align unless we do. Also your case won't need to be deremeled since it's transparent.

Yah I'm gonna have to pick it up on the way home from work one day. So I'm assuming that we'll just attach about 2/3's of it to the DVD Case? Kinda confused but I think I understand what you're talking about.

Should we clear the jewel too since it's black or no?

Hey Fred...

By chance do you have anymore Green LED's and resistors? I wanna do my clear dongles. I believe i have 3 dongles.
