Okay i heard some BS that you cant fix the TSOP if you delete or screw up the TSOP... now thats a lie and i am gonna prove it...
with smokey's challenge...

What i do when fixing TSOP's that people screw up and i fix...

1. solder both top and bottom of board....
a. Spot 1 (MCPX RD)
b. Spot 2 (MCPX WR)

2. now may sure you have EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.zip already flashed to the matrix.... dont do it after... because it just wastes time and can cause user error...
no one wants that.

3. connect a thin single thread wire to T1, dont solder the bitch. use small amounts of hot gule or tape. T1

Here COMES SMOKEY"S WAY!!!!!!

4. now install chip into xbox and put it on mode 4 with out the ground connected to T1.
the xbox (eject button)will blink orange and green.... YOU WANT THIS!!! this will let you know that the chip is installed right...
seeing nothing else is no good. The eject button must blink orange and green.
once it is blinking green and orange, dont touch move the matrix around. it is already set.

5. once you did number 4 turn off the system and put the matrix on mode 3 and put the T1 to the screw (ground) and boot it up.
once booted remove the T1 cable from the screw...

6. once booted up use your fav boot disk. Slayers 1.5 or 2.0 or use evox CD to flash your TSOP!

Thats it and it works like a charm every time... no matter what anyone says.

Edited: it will flash TSOP's that have not been touched. except it will be alot easier to get it right the first time!

oh and they should either pin this or make it an official tutorial on xbox-scene.

limbfilter · « **Reply #4 on:** January 23, 2003, 05:27:00 PM »

And does this work when a tsop is completely blank? Or flashed with a bad bios?

jujupinto85 · « **Reply #5 on:** January 23, 2003, 05:29:00 PM »

either or both!

It does not matter if your TSOP is blank or fucked up flashed.... it will still work... I promise you this. and sorry for not posting this before. i thought no one cared.. until jujupinto85 told me it was an issue.

you know...
if you have alignement problems with the matrix.. on the D0 point..

I DO NOT RECOMMEND LEAVING A XBOX THIS WAY... THIS IS ONLY FOR FLASHING!

Some may think this is bad.. but I swear it works with no problems or shorts...

I wish my camera zoomed in good enough to show..but anyway I will try to explain..

take a piece of .30 gauge wire (dunno if my decimal is in right place but its thin.)

anway sheath off like a quarter inch.. then cut that bare wire from the main ..
so you have a quarter inch or so of BARE wire.

Now stick that little piece of wire in the d0 point.. make sure you ends are straight meaning not cut and bent.. so it goes in nice..
be GENTLE! push or wiggle it in.. it does not go far...
just the tip makes it in a little bit.

now once in a little.. press down and align it with the tracks.. so it goes with the flow of them.

there is a coating over the tracks do not worry about shorting.. (at least I never do. I don't cut into the coating)
anyway.. just press down nicely making sure no wire is touching metal.

now put a small piece of tape over it .. electrical tape is best I think..
TRY if you can not to cover the linning up points ... so you can see at least one of them through the holes on top of the matrix...

now you "should" if you do it right.. just the small little hump that comes out of the d0 point.
MAKE SURE it is just a little bit of that wire showing comming out of the d0 point.. and the rest is covered with tap. (also cover the other little points that are next to it if you can.. just a little tap is all you need.

anyway .. now put on your matrix.. but do not even screw it down all the way.. allow for small movement up and down and left and right.
Now align the matrix with the tsop chip (the black chip on board)...
now you will see..
when you line it up.. the matrix will stop moving when you hit that little wire on the d0 point.
of course you can move OVER it.. but you will see.. you will line it up EVERY time .. so you can flash the tsop.

it is a easy way for those picky d0 points.. I do this and it lines up as soon as I screw it down.. and move a little till it doesn;t move down.. of course I can see through the holes and align like normal.. but now when it stops.. It is hitting that little wire.. which is all you need. to flash.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND LEAVING A XBOX THIS WAY... THIS IS ONLY FOR FLASHING!

if pictures are needed .. i can do it.. just will take a min. or two heh

will this work if my x box gives me the red and green light and tuns on and off several times and my hd beeps? would it be a tsop problem?

hm... that sounds worse then a simple TSOP problem... but if it boots up with a matrix... then yes it will work... unless you are missing the TSOP alltogther.

Dude its okay! relax, your not doing one of my steps. Just follow them and you cant go wrong.

foocankill · « **Reply #10 on:** January 26, 2003, 06:13:00 PM »

i have tried this over 100 times, literally lol, and it does not work, i think that its different for everyones xbox/ how they screwed up their tsop. mine was fucked up by flashing with a multibios that had the xecuter2 4974 with an original bios, i didnt know you couldnt do that. but anyways i guess im screwed

smokeingit · « **Reply #11 on:** January 26, 2003, 09:32:00 PM »

how funny. cause i did the same thing... to one of my xbox's... "I have 2 because someone didnt pay me up." and it worked... your not doing the steps homie. your lying to me... and it hurts... mode 4 and see what happends if it goes diff colors then it can be fixed. if not then your Bios is not right.

ok so when u say "solder both top and bottom of board" u mean to solder the two points on top together. then solder the 2 points on bottom together?

Correct, this will let the TSOP know its okay to erase and reprogram it.

ok maybe smokeingit or someone knows this lol
http://www.geocities...dgeiv/flash.htm everything is clear well almost am going to the the first method and not Alternate Method and just wondering if i need to join the (J1) and (W1 - W2) ? since it does not say it method one. also from my understanding i can remove (T1) after im done but what about W1/W2
i hope i didnt loose you in this question hehehhe
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
incase i fuckup big and cant be fix it i should be able to use a modchip and everything should be ok right?

?

and one more thing if im sodering W2 does the wire go just like the pictures is shown or is there a special point the last 2?

thaknx to all that reply
