Don't ask me how it happened but I've somehow managed to flash both banks with incorrect/corrupt bios(it involved unlabeled cds and some alcohol). I have no idea what to do now. Need some serious help.

LOL...yeah, that can happen!





you can try the hotswap (which i've never gotten to work myself)



or, i can hook you up with another chip for 13$ shipped....

If you have another modded xbox, boot it up, take out the duox (needs to be on a pin header) put the non-working duox and flash the soccer. I've done it before and I know it works.

Oh that sounds interesting. I do have another xbox and another duox2 gs. Do you have any more information on how that operation is performed ?

Maybe in the sticky .... sorry =)

But you need some quick swap double header thingy then right? It's not like you want to resolder the one that came with the chip while your xbox is still on.

Omg the one that came with the chip IS a hot swap DIL socket connector thingy! Just never yanked it hard enough .

let me know if you get the hotswap to work.

i've tried it a couple times with no success.



you must ground your D0 to the screw by the LPC (not the D0 on the chip).

also, make sure you jump your BT on the chip.



then you can slide the chip off during operation and replace with the target chip.

if it happens correctly, the chip should light up (blinking red) and be flashable.



when i do it, the chip doesn't light up, and attempting to flash just returns an error message.

not sure what i'm doing wrong, but i've heard a few success stories.

good luck dude!

Should work fine. I have even hot swapped different chips. Good luck.

Chip lights up but I get flash not writeable.

your results are similar to mine...

i can't even get it to light up.



i've tried on a couple different versions...oh well..

i have read that you can use an aladin programmer to redo the duox's.

atm im having a hard time finding an aladin programmer... i have 3 duoxs that need reflashed.

im also on the look out for diy programmer plans...

This does work I have done it many times.There is a tut by hackdabox and Chancer around here that explains in detail how to do it.I always use the slayers method and I have never had a problem.
Here is a link...

The Aladdin programmer will not flash the DuoX 2. In fact none will that I have ever tried.
Hotswap has never failed me. link pin 9 to BT on the chip and ground Xbox D0
Boot the box. I usually use Eurasia as the flash app and hot swap the chip when the tray opens asking for the bios disc.

Checked the solderings on my chip and it seems like one of them were bad. Been resoldered so many times it was impossible to do it again. So I put a wire on the header pin to the corresponding hole on the back side of the chip. Now it works perfectly and hot swap flashing was no problem at all. So thanks for all the help guys!

has anyone had any experience hotswapping with evox?

this is what i use, and it just goes all kinds of wrong.

crap,

this is the first i have read of an aladdin programmer not working on duox2's.. i have been looking for a couple months for a programmer.

crap crap crap.

i have 3 or 4 duox's that need reflashed, and no box to swap them in...

way back when, i hot swapped x2 chips, that worked well...

grr
