Something Very Strange With Box..please Help
« on: January 19, 2005, 01:32:00 AM »

Do you have the same eeprom version than your xbox (ie: 1.0-1.6b)?

Have you checked your if your banned with your X Y Z codes?

I'm thinking it has to be the eeprom. Who did you bought it from? Is it a respectable seller?

Just trying to get some obvious questions out of the way to get to the bottom of this.

About the X Y Z codes, see how to tell if you're banned HERE.

About the bioses, I know that there are different sized bioses. For example v1.0 and 1.1 are 1Mb and 2.0-1.5 for example are 256k. I'm really not sure wich ones are the same or not since I've never been banned and never had to change my own bios, but I know there is a difference.. you might wanna check on the tutorial page and see what it is.

Okay...I narrowed it down to either a 1.4 or 1.5 xbox, didn't have a multi-meter to see whether or not the two jumpers are connected or disconnected...but I do have the "focus" video chip.  Anywho...what do you think...the eeprom that i loaded in there was a 256k eeprom...so I don't think that is the problem.   Last night, I did the slayer and made it COMPLETELY STOCK and it still gave a network error...which was strange becasue I can get online with it perfectly when another xbox is hooked up...so I KNOW it isn't the connection.  Hope that helps a little.

What eeprom version did you put to your xbox? You know?

The fact that you checked with a different XBOX and connected perfectly to Live!, eliminates the possibility of a wrongfully configured network on the non-xbox side.

What are the setting in your xbox network configuration secction? Are they automated? Does your ISP requires any aditional configuration?

Sorry for asking so many question, I am using the "elimination proccess" here to see what we come down to.

I also did some research and your problem is exactly the same as in THIS thread. And everything points to a wrong eeprom version.

If you get a hold to a tester you can make sure what xbox version you have. It would be really a big help if you find out, as it also would help a lot knowing which eeprom version you flashed in. But don't go buy one... try to borrow one from a friend or something.

I've tried searching about eeprom compatibility but came up with nothing. Will go trhough the tuts completley to see if I missed something.

If someone else is reading this, and knows where I can find an xbox + eeprom version compatibility chart, I would really apreciate any links to that info.

Let's all try and help this fella.

Just to let you know guys, I went trough the tutorials and found nothing about wich eeprom version is compatible with wich version of xbox.

Hope someone that have seen lots of eeproms an know how they work in this compatibility matter could please come forward and help us out. Like Zodiiak for example... he could probably know. I'll send him a PM to see if he can help a bit with this.

Thanks a lot Zodiiak.

Jakal, hope that helps you figure out if you got a wrong version.

Have you tried reflashing it to see what happens?
