Full Version: Killed Chip Bios, What I Gonna Do Now?

Hallo, I have a chipmodded Xbox 1.6 (I don't know, a or b, but it has hynix chips)
It has aladdin 1.0-1.6 chip, red, with Winbond W49V002AP
One day I flash it with wrong BIOS.
Now it won't boot, when I turn it on, cooler turns on for a few second, and led (I don't remember, maybe) become orange, and it turns off.

People, I need help, really.
I can make a programmer for chip maybe.

P.S. - please, don't ban me. I read FAQ's and there is no answer to my problem.
Heimdall
Buy or borrow another chip. Use that to boot your Xbox, then once it has booted you can hotswap your original chip onto the Xbox and reflash it.
flexxo
I have no ability to buy another chip.
and my chip is clone maybe, but I can't eject the flash.

and chip's board seems to be glued to the mainboard, so I think, that would be easier to reflash it via COM.

Do you know anyone else with a chipped xbox?
flexxo
xboxmods2977, no ...

Is there any way to flash the chip via computer ?
Heimdall
No, not without building a custom flashing setup or desoldering the flash chip and using a standard chip flashing rig - both of which will cost you more than a replacement chip.

With chip off, does xbox boot? You could forget about the chip and softmod the console instead if that works.
flexxo
ldotsfan

Yes... xbox will boot without chip, but ...
I forgot to say, that I have replaced original xbox's HD and CD-Rom
and I think, that when I disconnect the chip, there will be black screen with green text.

Heimdall

I can do this, but I need a scheme, and instrustions.
maybe I can unsolder the chip, what I gonna do later ?
Heimdall
There are lots of instructions for installing a modchip. You'll need to get a pinheader for your current chip so you can hotswap it after you've installed the new chip. See the Diagrams / Manuals section for the DuoX2 at the bottom of this table.
flexxo
Heimdall, I mean that I can unsolder the chip, but not chip's board, cause it's glued.

So, I can't install other modchips.

It glued so strong, that I think, if I unstick it, there will be a crack on chip's board and maybe it couse some damage to mainboard
ldotsfan
Take a picture of the chip and the motherboard and show us what you meant. I am curious how a chip can be glued onto the motherboard
flexxo
I showed a photo in the second post of this topic.
chip simply glued to the mainboard. Russian chip installers, you know \m/
flexxo
Okay, I finally unsolder this crap.
Now xbox boots, I saw green "X" and ... error 16

I took a photo of this :http://img843.imageshack.us/i/pic110405203251.jpg/

Okay... who knows where can I get new chip with shipping to Russia ?
Heimdall
Your easiest solution is to do as ldotsfan suggested - use xboxhdm to softmod your hard drive. As your disk is locked you'll need to hotswap, or use your eeprom copy and xboxhdm to unlock the disk first. Use one of the two links in my signature - Softmod with hotswap and Softmod with eeprom.
flexxo
I'm so sorry...

I've read these two topics in your signature, but I dont still dont know what to do...

I have non original hdd and cdrom, I remember, that hdd wasn't locked sleep.gif
And I have no copy of my EEPROM, maybe it still is in xbox's hdd, maybe not...

So, what I gonna do in this situation ?
Sorry, I'm really noob (and don't know this language very well sad.gif I'm only studying)

P.S. - I can attach my xbox's HDD to my computer if it is needed

OK your gonna need to read the eeprom data from the motherboard. Nice little project and easy to do, link here:

http://www.llamma.com/xbox/Repairs/Reading_Xbox_Hdd_key.htm

That guide has everything you need to know, if you can't make the reader (which it sounds like your more than capable of doing) then ebay sell them:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Xbox-EEPROM-Reader-W...=item20b7bc6d04

Once you've read the eeprom data, you will need to create a bootable CD with xboxHDM by ltools (where did ltools go??) including the eeprom data file (BIN). This is all explained in the above guide, I hope this helps you mate.

sorry if links outside of xbscene are now permitted but I couldn't find this guide on here.

OliG
flexxo
OliG, thanks dude!

Tomorrow I'll be able to make this, but I'm not sure, that the burned disc will boot
(Slayer's Installer not boot.) dry.gif

And yeah, I need some instructions how to get needed files and burn them into disc.


Hope I write understandable text.

The disk is booted from a PC with the XBOX HDD attached to the PC not the XBOX (you will need a PC with IDE on it though). You boot the Linux boot disk, goes to a menu and then you lock the HDD from there. Then you should be able to boot the HDD from the XBOX.

But I would't worry about that bit yet, just try and read the eeprom. Then you can look at building a xbhdm boot disk.

I will see if I can find a premade image for you but you will need to add your eeprom.bin file from you xbox on to the ISO.

It's a lot to take in so take it one step at a time.

OliG
flexxo
OliG,
ok, it will be good, if you get the ISO.

But I have one question, if I have softmod, will xbox be able to run ...
I dunno how to say it, pirate disks (?)
Does xbox use dashboard on hdd when he boot a game ?

Oh, I remember, that I've stored xbox's eeprom on it's HD
it's possible to see it's FS ?

Read the rules.

No, or yes. Depends on which dashboard you mean, and how you are launching the game.
flexxo
QUOTE(Heimdall @ Apr 8 2011, 04:50 PM) *

and how you are launching the game.


I use non original drive, so I have no choice how to boot discs.

I can only launch them with reboot.
flexxo
Ok, I got my EEPROM, what now ?
Where is the ISO ? biggrin.gif
