why would you do all of that to play xbox live?  all you have to do is turn on xenium and do a TSOP flash and then boot to the Retail Kernel.  and your modchip won't be dected on MS Live.

I did it because my friend told me to do it, just to be on the safe side.

Is the xenium still supposed to light up red???

[rosco544]

well if you do it my way (the easy way lol) the xenium will light up whatever color you choose when you flash it.  the purpose of this is so for instance if you flashed the retail kernel to be "white" and then one day you decided to go on xbox live all you would have to do is look at the LED and if it wasn't white then you shouldn't be on xbox live.

K thanks.

So red is good for me then!

the xenium has no need for a switch.

when you flash a bios to the chip (tsop being the original, unless you've altered the tsop) you get to choose a colour that the led will be when that bios is loaded. when the chip boots into the xeniumos (before booting another bios) it flashes red - it also shows red when theres an error but its still getting power, which your d0 switch seems to be causing. if you're getting an error 13 it means it can't load / find the dash - so the bios you're using isn't booting to the right file. if the chip's off, this'll be the default msdash (xboxdash.xbe) in the C:/ partition - it could be corrupt or something (I accidentally corrupted mine with blackstormx), or there may be missing files..... evox isn't the problem - because evox isn't whats being loaded.

I just installed a d0 switch for my xbox to play on xbox live, but when I flip the switch off the mod chip Lights up red, and i get error 13, but i have evox on my hard drive, and i know about the error, but should my xenium light up red??? Thanks

You're not supposed to install a switch with the Xenium.

It sounds like your friend gave you out of date advice.

you might as well remove the switch.

no offense but your friend is an idiot and doesn't know anything about how the xenium chip functions

MS will not be able to see you and ban you if you boot to the Retail Kernel.....its that simple.

lol i always thought that u needed a switch for xenium, and i guess i'm going to remove it later on, but what if i have the m8 bios on my chip as the first bank, and default kernel on the second, can ms see my chip and bann me?

Well, the xenium doesn't have banks

it has 1MB of BIOS space, and most BIOSes are 256KB (1/4MB), and the retail kernel doesn't use up any space.

But yes, if you boot the retail kernel, then MS can't tell there's a modchip there (well, there is a rumour that they are scanning LPC buses and stuff, but that's completely unfounded and a d0 switch wouldn't help anyway)

Anywho, if you have a 1.6 then you have to use the M8 bios, which has no live blocking, so ALWAYS unplug the ethernet when you play games with a modded bios.

If you don't have a 1.6 then you should be using the X2 4981 or 4983 bios because of the Live blocking.
