I am using the "super Aladdin Live" a XT lite clone with the winbond Flashchip "dab0" (I have noticed the 5v pin goes directly to the CPLD) But I have not been able to flash them successfully (lock up @ 90% on erase, tested on Ver 1.1, 1.3 1.4 & 1.6) and cant get raincoat to recognise it.
When I drop in a SST, no problems at all flashing them even on a 1.6

Sorry, it was my mistake. Its supposed to say "For 1.0-1.5 boxes, there's no need for a LPC rebuild" but somehow it didnt sy that =)

I apologise again, my bad...

Regards

well when u do, please post somethin if you dont mind. you think it will be anytime soon. i'm lookin to order sometime this week. maybe i just had a bad experience, i eventually found out i had a bad chip, but i hated the lpc rebuild. so many things that could be wrong and i wasted a good amount of time redoin it when it was probally fine the first time, stupid chip. well at least it works now

Sweet tutorial!

Will including those pins you say to remove inn the pinheader install hurt the mod? If not, then they may be wise to leave in for future chip upgrade possibilities...

) And leaving the rest will work fine?

No, I have tried the working chip on 2 xboxes, boots fine on both(M8plus bios), then I tried 1 other chip on both xboxes it sometimes gives blank screen or it turns of after 0.5sec and makes a strange noice, well it's not fault in the soldering bcs one chip booted fine on both xboxes so yes, thats why I'm considering hotflash, all of my xboxes have samsung memory.

so my chip is called alladin advance xt it looks same as the xenochip pro, it also has the female pogo presoldered, can I use the always on tutorial with this chips?.

also I never cut the 4 pin it's pretty impossibel to cut now when it's soldered and all, but my other chip works when in both xboxes even as they both have pin 4 soldered.

regards.

I've been looking around and haven't found anyone who seems to know, so I thought I'd ask you guys. What is the HD solder pad for? I attempted soldering this to pin 39 on the IDE block, but I hadn't any video output to check it (damn cables haven't arrived yet). I was definately getting different lights then I usually get, not FRAGing, but not what the Aladdin XT usually does either (in any of the three boot modes).

now I tested the always enable method.. it's not helping, now the chip boots only sometimes and it's not flashing any longer I just get flash not possibel bla bla bla,
So I'll just talk with the guy I bought the chips from.. maybe it's possibel to autoflash the chips from cdrw???

Hi,

I've just been a little confused from all diffrent posts/diagrams on the aladdin xt install

!..

from what i've gatherd, this is what i think i need to do on my 1.0..

Solder Male head pins onto xbox (cut off the ununsed ones)
wire D0, BT and L1 to modchip/mobo
place chip onto male headder pins (its got the female socket on the chip already)

am i right? since where i bought the chip from only had diagrams of the wires, none to do with the LPC...

also someone i read somewhere to connect D0 on chip to D0 on mobo, and ground BT - is that reccomended?

i dont usally like asking questions, but im really lost

OK, I have a question for you guys.. I just installed 2 aladin XT's on 2 Crystal Xboxes (canadian) The first one had the whole no video problem so I flashed the bios and it worked. The second one seemed to install ok, again it had the no video thing and I went to flash the bios but it froze. Of course when I rebooted it didn't work. So I swapped out the modchip, but all i get is the power flashing green three times a few seconds apart and then it frags...and no video. So I removed the modchip comlpetly..and it still does it. Now it won't even load the stock bios... Any ideas? I checked the board for bridges adn such but found nothing...
