I just did a mod for someone on a 1.6 and did not pay attention to the Ram too see if this console was a 1.6b (hynix). I used a 2.2pro and flashed it with M8 1.6 256k on bank 2, because I wanted lba 48 support with evtool. I didn't test the console thoroughly game-wise before it left, as I was able to FTP to it and XBMC ran for a while and didn't have issue. The person calls my friend who set it up and says the Tiger Woods 2005 and Halo2 freeze consistently.

Heinrich mentioned in this thread it may be an lframe problem. I am starting to wonder if that is the case. Did any of you guys grind the lframe trace off the board for permanent mod or add the 680Resistor to the lframe trace on your mb's? I have to resolve this sh*t in a hurry, the box will be back in my hands tommorow, so a pre-game huddle would be great. Please reccomend a good bios for 1.6 or 1.6b and lba 48. You guys rule, TIA.

Well I have been going thru the same issue as all of you also. Although the issue that the 1.6 I modded seems to be with heat. The box would run for about an hour or more and then start freezing. I did a fan mod and hope that fixes the issue.

Although something is up with Ghost Recon 2, cause it says there is an issue with the xbox and asks you to restart the xbox. So I am not sure how to fix that issue. GR2 seems to run fine on all versions other then the 1.6, when running the game on the Hard drive. Any ideas?
BTW I did patch the xbe files already.

How do you tell if you have a version 1.6b?

Thanks. Hope the idea of a fan mod helps. I know others have said it. I will post back if it clears up the issue.

Im betting that half of you are probably having hd problems. Specifically power to the hd. Next time your box freezes, go listen to see if you hear your hd whirring. Take the lid off and play until it freezes and listen.

Try Yoshihiro's M8 beta4 BIOS.. I've found I have to use it on most of the v1.6's I do.

Easy way to test if the box isn't working. Turn it on, off, on, off, etc, etc.. I've found if the box is going to fail, it'll start black screening after the first shot, sometimes second. Some 1.6's work fine with M8+ (preflashed on the chips), but most need Yoshi's to work fine.

Hey everyone,

I have a similar problem to some of the above posts. Here are the xbox details:

V1.6 - samsung ram
160gb seagate
DuoX2
M8plus_16 - EVtool lba48, ef, 40% fan

The xbox will start and run fine with the chip enabled and disabled for about half an hour. At this point the xbox hangs, the video is still on and has sound, except the sound is just a constant tone (if that makes sense), there is no responce from the controller. When the xbox is turned off and on again it doesn't get past the flubber screen.

This has happened with chip enabled and disabled.

I thought that it may be a heat issue so I increased the fan speed and tested it with the DVD-Rom and HDD outside the xbox (and without the top on) and the problems still occurs.

I have also redone the wiring for the LPC rebuild and tried another chip (another duoX2).

I have just been playing it with the chip disabled and it has jumped to an earlier part of the game on a couple of occasions.

I am about to try it with the chip removed completely. and then with the yoshi M8 beta4 BIOS. Although I don't think that it is a bios problem as it boots fine and there are also problems with the chip disabled.

Has anyone else had similar problems that they have been able to fix?
Any suggestion would be great.

So this only hangs while playing the M$ bios? or the Evox Bios?

davemk · « **Reply #28 on:** January 18, 2005, 02:43:00 PM »

It hangs on both....

I have removed the chip completely and the pin header and lpc rebuild and am still having problems.

I will put the standard hdd in today and try.

I am starting to think that it is a faulty board...

Well, my 1.6 xbox never freezes whilst playing games.. I've used a variety of bioses on it, from m8_16 (stock and various customized versions), to Yoshi's BIOS, to m8+_16, and finally to a customized version of metoo m8+_16 w/ live blocking, the eject fix, LBA48, IGR, no ani, etc.
