I have an Xbox Version 1.1 and it was softmodded using bigfonts. i got sick of the clock loop so unlocked the TSOP thru soldering. I asked on the forums for what bios to use but noone responded so i did some reading and thought i found what i needed. I flashed the bios thru Evox using EvoX V3.6_EjectFix - V1.1.bin. The flash was succesful and the machine said it would now reboot. after reboot all i got was 2 quick green flashes then flashing red/green. thats all the machine will do now. So my questions.

1. is there anyway to fix this thru software? (probably not)
2. i have a dead xbox 1.1 motherboard from a friend. can i rip the TSOP off of it and stick it onto my box?
3. what modchip would cure this? the cheaper the better.

Please gimme some input ppl, i would greatly appreciate it :/ <

BTW i could care less about Xbox live or actually fixing the TSOP. i just want the thing to boot again. <

how bout some info in this Multi bank thing? From my reading all i can conclude is, the xbox bios is 256k, the full xbox bios is 1024 (256x4). The .bin i used to flash was only 256k.......... is there still an original xbox bios sitting in there somewhere?!?!!?!? <

A-HA thats your problem, you used a 256k bios on a 1024k chip and thus it frags!... there is an easy fix in the pinned topic. It deals with soldering wires to ground A19 and A18 and then cutting these wires once the xbox is booted and then reflashing the tsop this time with a 1024k (1MB) bios.

once booted do all the things the tut says and go into raincoat through telnet... when in the directory with raincoat and the bios (256k) you want to flash use this commandf (with your file names of course)

but i need a modded bios that will load up evox on boot. i dont have a modchip. im just trying to get rid of the clock loop with out the audio exploit <

yeah 4979.06 does that without a problem, infact most/all newer bioses (since 4977-my first bios I used) has done that.

can you tell if the bios i used should work at all in this situation? i followed the tut and had the same frag :/ takin the box apart again and going to re-check all the connections <

maybe try a SPDT switch like on the multibios tsop tutorial. If you flashed a 256k bios to the tsop one position on the switch should still boot.
