What Went Wrong ?
« on: April 01, 2004, 04:12:00 AM »

ok, i followed this great tutorial by Blue called "TSOP Flash Alll versions"

Ok so i did eveyrthing, soldered the points correctly.
XBOX version 1.2+

Xbox boots MSdash and when I try and insert a backup CD of my friends game, it loads it up but hangs at the MS XBox sign. Tried it with other unsigned games. Didn't work. So then I put in my originial copy of mechassault. Boots fine. BUT ... now the eject fix works. I can eject it and it doesn't restart.

It doesn't read my friends backup game. Also, it creates a gamesave in the harddrive of the xbox of the backup game. For example for the game "Sims Busting out". It makes a gamesave but is stuck at the MS Xbox logo. I know i've soldered and flashed it right because the eject fix is working. And I don't know my Bios version, i just let Mecheurasia handle it !

But what do I do now ?! PLease help me out oh people of XBox scene ! And please, I'm against piracy and hate backups but i just needed to see if it would run unsigned code as I didn't have the time to burn Slayers to CDrw.   <

I do  not know the bios I used lol. Its in Mech Eurasia. My kernel is now 5101(it was 5530) and it still can't load PBL because it gives a fuzzy screen.   <

Btw, can I reflash it with Mecheurasia, and change the bios.bin in the 000000 folder to xeceture 4987 bios(of course renaming it)? Would it work or would my Xbox become a door stop.  <

yes you can so this to update the bios just make sure you use the newest bios
evox-m7
or
x2 4981  
the problem to me sounds like your dvd-rom though? what kinda rom do you have a Thompson? if so you need to burn burn you dvd-r's at 1x to work ok.

Oh and make sure your bios is the same size as whats in your folder

Try using decent discs.  Anything using a Ritek G04 (deep purple) dye is an example of a good disc.
Avoid cheaper discs, they tend to be made by Princo (pale purple dye) and a lot of Xboxes hate them.  <

If it says your kernel is 5101, then it's probably EvoxM7.

Ok i replaced the bios.bin(256 k)in the 0000 folder in mecheurasia. with the latest xecetur bios x2 4981. Reflashed it. Powered off. Tried again by loading a backup, and it still doesn't work. I have a phillips drive !

Oh yeah, grospolina sorry for that stupid question on how to load Evoxdash after flashing a bios. Strangely, everytime before i ask a quesiton, I make sure i Search, if I can't find the answer, then I post the question, but after posting it,lol i get the answer. from another source usuallylol. Oh yeah, the bios is supposed to load evoxdash.xbe from the C: I put in evox.ini with the sub directories into C: but still...
the problem is that  the evoxdash.xbe is displaying the same shitty MSlogo   just like the post in the Dashboard exploit i made(same xbox). And it keeps rebooting to that shitty MSLOGo. Now luckily i still can ftp in by loading mechassault, and I've deleted evoxdash, and now it loads fine with MS. Does anybody know how to fix this ?

Also few more questions, is there a limit to reflashing the TSOP with Eurasia ?

And, PBL still can't load aaaaaaaaargggggh !!  It loads better now, as in less fuzziness, but i don't know why it still doesn't load properly. I have  a focus chip. Somebody help !

Can i reflash it with an older bios like the older xecetur bios so that this great PBL works.  Help me oh people of the scene !! smile.gif
