OK, i'm modding my friends box and i soldered a x2.2 lite in. I used my programmer to flash the chip, that went well. It erased, wrote, then verified.... When i put the chip into his xbox and start it up, it turns on and off, and on the third time it stays on but i have no picture. When i turn the chip off everything works fine. I thought it may have been my soldering, so to check that i took out my x2lite chip that i've had working for a few months and put it in his xbox using the same cable with the 9 wires soldered to his box.... (just switched chips) and everything works just fine with my chip in there. Oh by the way before i used the programmer i turned it on to see if it worked, and it fragged 3 times then started normally with the cromwell bios. i just didn't want to deal with getting the thomson drive to read cd-rw's and i dont want to waste a dvd-r on a 1 mb file. DOes anyone have any help here?!?!?!
thanks so much

oh, also you know how it comes with that small cable within with the 2 wires comming out. similar to the cable with the 9 wires comming out. but it only has the d0 and the ground wire... i didn't use that on my chip, so i assumed i dont have to on his. am i correct with this assumption? what does that do anyways.

that is for soldering the lil pins that came with your x2lite.....insted of the wires

i had this problem b4 when i was flashing oxzflash but fixed it with the programmer ......

but the weird thing is even before i used the programmer when i booted it up to see if the cromwell bios would run it fragged twice and on the third time ran, then i turned it off and tried again and couldn't get it to boot, then tried again and it would frag then boot...

Why not boot the xbox with the x2 lite, switch it with the x2 pro, and use FlashX to reprogram it.

thomes08 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 21, 2003, 12:33:00 PM »

i dont have an x2 pro, i just tried hot swapping it and his chip wouldn't flash at all (yes the flash bios was on unprotect) it just froze and i lert it sit about 15 minutes (i did this on my machine) and i had no other choice but to turn it off and now my system wont work at all it just gives me an error 5
any help cause i think i may be really fucked!!
