Crystal Edition Xbox Info (version 1.6?)
« Reply #30 on: March 06, 2004, 06:07:00 PM »
Just a quick thankyou to whoever put the 5713 onto Xbins last night, you're a dead-set legend :-)



Anyway I heard on the 'grape vine' (read: xboxhacker.net) that the EvoX team are already working on support.  Those guys (I assume guys!) are even bigger legends!


Thank you all.



cheers,
Bourkie

 Only Troed and lookformeb were given access to my bios, so I assume one of them forwarded it to the appropriate people.

Well the mod chips will work, just you will get a blank screen. Smartxx think they would be able to do it if they had a new xbox. I'm sure team xecuter will get around to doing it, also Xbox Linux should as well (for cromwell). Anyone know were I can buy one in England.

lol, ok now.

Does someone with a '1.6' have a lpc modchip, that they can try to boot the new bios from?
Just to make sure there are no lpc changes..

Now this is slightly (not much) worrying. Since I don't have a v1.6 box yet I thought I'd at least do something - so I flashed the new 5713 bios to my LPC modchip in my v1.4 Xbox.

Upon reboot, I got dashboard error 13.

"13 - kernel - Dashboard launch fail (due to missing/bad key, or anything else that would prevent it from running) and the dashboard didn't specify why it failed."

I can't remember ever having done anything to my original dashboard that would cause it to fail a signature-check. This shouldn't pose a problem though, as I'm sure the BIOS-hackers can get around whatever caused it to fail.

(What I didn't check just know is if "old dashboards" have been blocked - mine is not XboxLive upgraded. That would make sense I guess, and I really should take that extra minute now to check ... )

Oh, maybe I should've added that since the bios did boot we know (although I was quite sure of that already due to the MCPX emulator tool) that there has been no MCPX-changes, which also means we _can_ create a modified bios.

It would still be good if someone with a v1.6 could, as heinrich suggested, flash an LPC modchip with the original 5713 bios, ground D0 and try to boot. If that works, we know that there has been no additional LPC-changes. Watch out for a possible loss of power and ground as in v1.5 though.

No. We have to wait for a new bios based on the new kernel (5317 AFAIR) - same situation as with the 1.4 boxes. The new X seems to contain Thomson DVD of the new series - reading CD-Rs!! And its a fuckin' beautiful machine!!! ;D

Theres a topic in 'TSOP flashing' about the new 1.6

 From what ive been reading, the new kernel (5710?) has some sort of check that does not allow it to boot older dashboards, probably so as to prevent us from softmodding our boxes. So i guess the new bios is detecting some dashboard that is older than the one it is allowed to boot with and displays a corrupted dashboard error.
