Ok so im working with a v1.0/ 1.1 box And Aladdin lattice 64 chips And have been threw 3 chips, 3 hard disks & two dvd rom 's but i still just cant get a chip(aladdin) to boot in this box, so i have tryed both d0's what gives? No matter what i do it boots the normal dash, so i fallowed hackdabox's bt to l1 fix but all that dose is make the box not able to power down.any ideas would be cool!.............peace

Ground D0. Xbox D0 to to a screw point. Ground BT from the chip (connect it to pin 2) the flash won't be enabled at the moment doing it that way but no matter at this stage.
This forces boot from the LPC.
If the box boots and goes to the retail dash pull the chip off the header and boot. The box should FRAG if it does then the chip (when back on the LPC) is working and you are booting a hacked bios but do not have an alternate dash on the HDD. If it still boots the retail bios and dash with the chip off the header then the D0 point is not making connection

ok Chancer, i have done this,(from my d0 to screw for groung & my bt to pin 2(bottom of mobo) wich i did. and now box powers up on connection with power, with no video for about 2-3 seconds then flash's red green yellow, i let it boot 3 times this way ,same thing all three times.& i booted it with the chip off the hedder? well shit. thanks 4 your help, now im kind of sittin on shitter with no tp....whats next.........................peace

Well firstly you should just ground the xbox d0 and test it. Solder a wire from the bottom side d0 point to the metal circle around a screw hole. Remove the modchip from the headerpin and try to boot. It should frag !!! it should try to boot 3 times and then just flash red and green constantly if it does not frag then your D0 is not grounded so resolder it until it frags !

Now that you know your motherboard d0 is grounded put the chip back in and depending on the chip you have you may need to add a link wire. You mentioned before about the BT to L1 link but thats only for Aladdin XT Pro with a lattice 4064 chip. If you have a Aladin XT Lite then you need BT to Ground ( Pin 2 ) like in this pic ...



Now if you have a old Aladdin advance 64 then you don't need a link wire at all !

Test and reply !

Thanks hdb, im on it. now if i have aladdin chips that look like the pic, but my chips have the turn pot & lcd lables on the pads & the lattice chip says lc4064v on it, & it says Aladdin advance v1.0-1.6 on the back, do i have the aladdin xt or advance? i find 1000 sites for aladdin chips. i dont know what i got, i went threw 12 boxes befor i hit a 1.6b that these damn aladdins wouldnt work on. I dont know why these bastards will sell ya these chips for a v1.6/1.6b box when they know about the cpld issue? well im taking off the bt to pin 2 wire, & trying what you reccamend. iam making a huge Aladdin tut (all v. of box) because these chips have gave me the most shit! Thanks for the help threw my Aladdin journeys.....................peace

ok i Did what you said  (Well firstly you should just ground the xbox d0 and test it. Solder a wire from the bottom side d0 point to the metal circle around a screw hole. Remove the modchip from the headerpin and try to boot. It should frag !!! it should try to boot 3 times and then just flash red and green constantly if it does not frag then your D0 is not grounded so resolder it until it frags !(HackDaBox)

& i got the three boot flash frag dance just like you said, now whats the damn problem with this thing?, id hate to do it but i have a old spider not shure if it works? maby i should clean her out & put the spider in, every one tells me they are crap!  what do you think? i am still tring to boot this aladdin 4 now?......................peace

You have Aladdin XT Pro chips !
You need to link BT to L1 on the chips to enable flashing !

You may need to test the chips in an older xbox version first to determine if the chips work !

If you have access to a xbox with a pinheader installed modchip then just link BT to L1 and push the Aladdin XT Pro chip on the headerpin and test it on a xbox V1.0 - V1.5 but not a V1.6 and not a V1.6b You would need to ground the d0 on the xbox as well ! Or solder a wire from the alternate d0 on motherboard to d0 on chip !

If the chip boots fine then your problem is bad cpld code and these chip(s) should be only installed in V1.0 - V1.5 consoles.

If the chip doesn't boot in an older version try to do a hotswap to flash using this Guide

I really think you should keep these chips for older xboxes and use the Original Duo X2 modchips for V1.6 / V1.6b consoles.

PS Flashing the chips in another box with Evox M8 V16 works fine in V1.6. But no bios works 100% with the v1.6b and the Aladdin XT clones !

PPS Do not flash the Evox M8 Plus V16 as it is not compatible with the Aladdin XT clones.

I thought version 1 was as old as they got  

If the box FRAGs  with the chip off but boots to MSdash with the chip on then either the BT is not working or its all working and you need to install an alternate dash.

This statement made me think the problem was V1.6 / V1.6b related !

Shit, sorry, i guess i left out some info, im so damn bussy nowa days! I am currently working on a v1.0 box, the damn thing is posessed. ive done tons of these aladdins & was bitching because the tech. support guy acted like hes was stupid & told me ,yes of course these bitches work on 1.6/1.6b, no problem, then i end up with friends boxes that only boot 70% of the time, some of that with no video! but thats not the problem, its with this v1.0., so you want me to link bt to l1?  & Chancer you are tellin me to find alternate bt other than r3g3? hope you all arent givvin up yet........................peace

Great to see you got it working. Thats not the first post where someone could not get a box chipped and then started from scratch using the alternate points and got it working so if anyone is in the same boat you know your own anser now

The Duo X2 Blue ones come with hacked bioses. Order from someone in the BST that has alot of good refs like lepper , Robot Pig etc. Avoid the White chips as they dont offer any other features and require flashing!
