[X-rob]

I've got *two* xboxes here that are exhibiting exactly the same problems. I thought that possibly the first one could be my poor soldering skills, so I took a great deal of care with the second one, and it does *Exactly* the same thing!

I'm booting the machine with an X-BIT Solderless chip, to get it into linux - I was trying to use EvoX to do the flashing, but it was doing exactly the same thing (0xff manufacturer id).

CODE

xbox:~/raincoat-0.7# ./raincoat -p bios.bin raincoat Flasher  0.7  Feb 20 2004 by [email protected] & eXOBeX @ P/Systems Reading raincoat.conf... 151 flash types read INVALID MANUFACTURER ID: 0xFF Check that your flash-enable points are correctly soldered, that the neighbouring circuitry is not damaged, and that any A18 or A19 switches are correctly set. Valid manufacturer IDs can be found at:- http://www.jedec.org/DOWNLOAD/search/JEP106n.pdf xbox:~/raincoat-0.7#

Is there an issue with lifting the X-BiT off the board? When the X-BiT is attached I get 09/00 (or something like that in EvoX) and it says, quite reasonably, that it can't be flashed.

The flash points are soldered properly. These are both new (< 2 months old) V1.5 Xboxes... I'm *guessing* that this means that the xbox can't read the programming info from the flash, but, it's out of my league. Hopefully someone with a bit more of a clue can help me out!

Thanks,

--Rob.

YOu can not flash a tsop after booting from an LPC mod.  The xbox can no longer 'see' the on board bios.  

Use the tut by the great LordVader to flash your tsop from an LPC mod.

Or use the 007AUFraincoat hack and do it that way.  An original copy of 007AUF is cheaper than the LPC chip!!  <
