someone ask for this!!!

Just make two bridge
one from blue to red and other from yellow to skyblue

bridge the Sharp point to vcc

nobody like it!

I like it...

then... i happy!!!

sorry, but I was wondering what the points in these pictures are for. I am looking for some alternate points for some TSOP flash fixing.

Excellent stuff davi

Just to make sure i'm right, I can choose anywhere on the blue lines to any where on the red lines correct?

And anywhere on the yellow lines to anywhere on the skyblue lines?

And does anyone know what would happen if I went "overkill" and connected every point in red to every point in blue ?? (I'm not going to - Just making sure I have the right idea) Also every point in skyblue to every point in yellow.


Cheers

i really dont know what happen if you have the time to connect every point to every point, but this is just in case that you need another point in the mobo cause the one that you use are damage... just be carefully... chose just one point for color and 1 wire to conect red and blue and 1 for yellow and skyblue

Is there a need to bridge a third point? On the underside of the board..I'm working on a 1.4 with a winbound 232928401 . I keep getting 0x09 even though I've got everything bridged...gonna try this..thanks.

used the pic...made a bridge...worked like a charm...

I hope a mod pins this

cheers, a very usefull post.

OMG! Thank you SOOOOOOOOO MUCH for this post. I also had the exact same problem with the winbond (1.5) and the solder points in slushies guide do not work. I kept recieved the same error as did Sliperysnowman in this thread.


To the author or whoever made this, I can't thank you enough.


I still have to finish the board with a bridge, but these images acutally are identical to older boards.

as i can see this one help some people... i will update it if i found other points to bridge

pin!!!

davicoro,

THIS IS GREAT ... THANKS ... if I only had seen it before :-/

I wired a V 1.1 with a SHARP TSOP ... where (supposedly?) a 3rd wire on the back is needed... for flashing.
Everything went OK until I reinstalled the Board and the 3rd wire (the one only for SHARP)
got stuck and pulled a trace of wire (The part I dotted in green)





Luckily the Box still works <sigh> ...
but of course I cannot flash it :-(

CAN ANYONE HELP in pointing to an alternate location ?

CAN ANYONE give advice as to what this trace actually connects?

Sorry for hijacking your thread ... but don't you like to see your glorious pics in use

Updated!!!
added the sharp line point... join it to vcc

thanks for the Idea TomT

pin pin pin pin pin...this is very helpful..at least at the tut section..

Just want to thankyou for taking the time to put this together. I have a friends xbox and he's screwed up the top solder point, can't even see where the tracks went. Just used your tut and another on repairing tracks with heated windscreen repair paint. Thankyou so much and hope this gets pins cos it's worth it's weight in gold to me. Well, worth a working xbox anyway. : ))

Hey i have a quick question, i have a 1.1 xbox i'm dealin with and it needs a sharp flash, now can i just bridge the little leg on the tsop chip to the point on the first left picture... or do i need to connect the bottom pink section to the top pink section.... i'm just a little confused on that...

i got the 2 main point jumped, but for the sharp one of the ponts is gone, is there any way to replace it? the track just goes to nothing... i'm not sure if i'm explaning myself well enough. hmmm but if anyone has any idea lemme know, i'll try to get some pics.

This is really great, I have been looking for something like this. I just have a few questions. I assume to whole purpose of jumping the write points is to make two connections between the MCPX and TSOP right? The Dark Blue goes to the TSOP and Red to MCPX right? For the other set, the Yellow goes to the MCPX and the Light Blue goes to the TSOP? I have a really bad motherboard with a few lifted traces. What are the closest points to the TSOP and MCPX I can use? What pin does the Red connect on the TSOP? Is there a via on the bottom side of the board right at the MCPX that connects to the Dark Blue or Yellow? I really need to go from the actual pin on the TSOP to as close as I can get to the MCPX. Thanks.

Sorry for the double post.

Can anyone help me out?

When you wire up a jumper wire, does it have to remain connected permanently, or is it just used for flashing?

somebody should really pin this so it doesn't get lost in the abyss

on the 1.0/1.1 xbox, isnt it true that the sky blue line can be connected to the other 2 pins toward the edge of the TSOP? I think i saw that they werent connected in a "Flash TSOP With matrix modchip tutorial. If im right, i think it would be easier to solder for those of us without expensive soldering irons. Can anyone verify this?

awesome, thanks for the pics.

I ruined the R7D2 points on a 1.5 box I was doing for a co worker, and connected the two open holes listed above with window defogger goop, and it worked like a champ.

thanks a ton for this.

edit: and yes, this post should be /stuck at the top.

Great pix... Question though... I lifted the pad from r7r4 for a sharp tsop by accident.... Now, looking at the pic, it looks like I don't need to connect r7r4 to c7r3 (they appear to already be bridged...) Am i missing something... if so.. where should i connect c7r3 to? Thank you.

Lol... N/M... the points in the tut i have are electrically the same (don't know why it insists on connecting a wire, but oh well...) heh.. i just missed the pic of the wire needed for the sharp tsop... lol...

Simply amazing thread, davicoro. Deserves pin.

all i have to say is that you are the answer to my prayers! i will finally mod that 1.5 softmod xbox that has burned off tsop points.


thanks a ton! and i really hope a mod pins this, people always ask where to find these points,and these are perfect easy to understand pictures

YES! i was able to flash it!!
one weird thing that i feal like mentioning.. evox couldnt flash the bios so i had to use eurasia. the chip is the one that everyone posts about that they cant flash, i can post the name of it later if you want it

Thanks for this, I accidentally ripped of the red to yellow bridge below the TSOP and couldn't see the traces. I know, I'm retarded.

wow... some pm about this... lol

this look like a bump but is not... lol

Yahooooooooo! Thank you soooooooooooo much davicoro!!!!! You saved me!!!
I have an X3 and wanted to fix TSOP but I broke the traces. Praises to you! :D :beer:

This should be pinned for anyone who use nail-clippers to clean solders.

I wanted to clip off the solder on my original point and stripped the whole area...I was looking for an alt point and here is the answer. Someone helped me out with your post.

Thank you all.

bump

Sorry for the ignorance, but what is the VCC point for the sharp tsop? I did a successful flash of a 1.4, this made it a freak'n piece of cake. Little puzzled on the 1.1 with sharp, there are just a few too many differing opinions as to which points actually need bridging. If I could just get that first clarification, on where the vcc is and what I'm supposed to do with it, I could knock this one out no problem.

everything you ever wanted to know about flashing a sharp

Thanks for the post, I had been getting a few msg's here or there about people asking how to flash sharps. Glad I have somewhere to point them now.

As always, you come through vader

Just did my fourth box. This is invaluable!

This is wicked, saved me a lot of trouble. I tried to solder a wire between the two points in slushie's guide but the ended up pulling the track off - this is much much better.

Amen

This is so great!!!

I messed up the points posted on the original tut and also lifted 1 bottom trace. let see if i use alt points in this guide will it work?

thanks

Does your xbox boot normal? If it does try the Alt points and retry to flash.

Good Luck

yea it's working like a charm now...thanx to this post

Do i have to solder the points on the top and bottom in the diagrams? or just one side?

Thanks,
Nightmare
