Why couldnt a guy with aversion 1.1 box boot up with a working bios on the matrix and the ground wire on the tsop line.  With a good bios in the bios folder remove matrix after boot and flash as normal through the evox flash tool?

                                    B/C the special TSOP flash bios was written just for the Matrix and just for v1.0 Xbox.  There may be future version released that works with the v1.1, but for now, this can't be done.

You can check out the TSOP flash section of my Matrix tutorial; when flashing the TSOP on v1.1 is possible, it will be posted there.

Has anybody in here flashed their tsop with the 3944 code to play on live?

I doubt anyone actually has, since the silve conductive grease is like $30 a tube, but I already had some that I use to unlock Athlon XPs.  A silver conductive pen would probably work just as good and they are a lot cheaper.

If this is true then I am ordering a Matrix now!

Please tell us when you test it!

HAIL HAIL HAIL TO EVOX TEAM!

IT WORKED!!!!

I managed to flash my Tsop with a MatriX chip with a 1 meg bios file

Here is what i did: (after flashing the Matrix with the new bios from my dash in mode 4, you can flash it with your programmer if you want but I had it flashed in 5 seconds using Evox)


1) Got a file called EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.zip from the usual place and Extracted the file and it had 4 pictures and a 256k bios file named EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.bin

2) I studied the pics and followed the 4 steps

3) After connecting the suggested points shown in the pics (W1 to W2, J1, and T1) I installed the Matrix and aligned it with the 3 holes.

4) Before I powered up the Xbox I switched the chip to MODE 3 (this is important) and held the end of th T1 wire on the screw (which I think is just Ground and you can use the Xbox Silver housing and it will still work)

5) I powered up the xbox and the led on the chip turned from green to red stating that the chip was now in the original bios. I let go of the T1 wire (as stated in the pics)

After that The evox dash booted (I dont know how they did it but it works)
I went to the Settings tab and selected Flash BIOS

I selected the EvoX 2.5 Colour Blue 1 megabyte bios file and it stated that it found the ID of the TSOP!

I Clicked 'Y' and it Began to erase the TSOP and after that the Flashing process started!!! You should have seen me jumping with joy!

I now have an Xbox with a flashed tsop and a Matrix chip

What now?

The options are so many! here is what I am going to do next
Use the tutorial on how to have multible bios files on the Tsop and have a setup like this

2x 256k bioses (evox 2.5 and original 4034)
1x 512k bios (devkit or any other 512k bios)
1x 256k bios on the Matrix (playing with evox to flash it with anything new)

I never doubted the Evox skills and the capabilities of the MatriX chip and this makes it even better now that more features are out for it!


Thank you EVOX and Xodus Team for your effort

[xbox_freak!!]

mods plz pin this

[gurux_2]

JESUS!!! I thought it was a joke!

Thanx ravencry for the detailed steps.

Xodus Team hasnt announced anything about this yet but I am sure they will since this a HUGE feature for the MatriX users!

So you have a grand total of 5 bioses no play with! (if using 4 on tsop and 1 on matrix)

Thats 1024k on TSOP and 256k on Matrix... So the fact that larger bios files will come out is not an issue any more right?

Thats it, I am ordering a Matrix tommorow!

[xbox_freak!!]

the Tsop is a chip on the xbox mobo that tells the xbox what it can and cannot do. simple as that.

[king_azza]

thankyou for the help..

but y not just use your matrix?

what does the flashing of the tsop allow you to do different to the matrix

[xbox_freak!!]

because the matrix has a 256k chip and the x-ecuter 2 bios is 512k and the TSOP is 1024k so u could use the x-ecuter 2 bios on the TSOP. plus eliminating the need for the matrix making the xbox more portable not worring about the matrix coming off or losing contact with the xbox motherboard.

                                    simple...

1.  flash your tsop, take out your Matrix.

2.  Go to a friend that has a Xbox tell him you'll Mod there Xbox to play burnt games for $20 (remind them that the cheapest chips are more than this and require them to wait for it to be shipped, not to mention many wires or solderpoints) they'll gladly pay you when you can do there system in a few min.

3.  Flash their box, and take out your matrix chip.

4.  Repeat steps 2 and 3 to every kid in the neighborhood and become a rich man    

Now, I must go rush and find the zip file.

[xbox_freak!!]

the x-ecuter 2 bios or chip isnt out yet but evox2.5 is. the x-ecuter 2 bios has more features, in-game reset, every thing evox2.5 has but more. check it out here http://www.x-ecuter.com i'm not sure about sizing down of the bios  I doubt it will happen but keep ur eyes and ears open for more info.
