Okay, I flashed Bank 3 with EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.bin, but when I boot Bank 3, my Eject LED blinks green, amber, red over and over. I switched back to Bank 0, and it boots fine (as expected). What gives?

read the directions again. are you missing something?

heres a hint
) put your chip in mode1 booting to bank 3

in otherwords boot matrixtsop bios while in mode1 goto switch to bank 3 in chameleon settings then when evox loads go to flash bank 0 and it should flash the tsop.

Could you explain that a little clearer?

Or...maybe this is part of my problem..

ok, just a little clarification

step 4, you MUST put the chip (via the dips) into mode 1 bank 3 not boot into bank 3 via software...

also if you frag when doing step 5...you prolly have a corrupt evox_tsop_flash flashed to bank 3....get a new copy from the *usual* places

I will assume a15 is connected correctly, if when booting into any other bios, it boots fine, but if you try to boot evoxTSOP, it fraggs...bank 3 is not properly flashed!

also for shits and giggles I flashed evox_d6 to bank 3, instead of evoxTSOPflash, and I dont know if it is because mt TSOP is already flashed, but I was able to *reflash* TSOP booting to bank 3 with D6 flashed to it...

if *everything* is correct as per good BIOS on your chameleon, dips set right and all, a15 connected good....I would look back to your motherboard bridges...

also, a15 on the *older MB's* with the solderless connector....just a point here...the corner of the solderless connector, that D0 comes off of, well, the tip of the corner is perfectly over a15...if you just fill the a15 hole with a dob of solder (just a pin head amount to fill *JUST* the hole), it will raise it enough, that all you need to do is *CAREFULLY* align the end of your a15 wire under the solderless connector (***making sure NOT to short anything out***) and tighten down the solderless connector...you dont need it hardwired in anyhow, as your going to remove the chip anyhow

I followed all this exactly,

I flashed bank 0 initially with my DVD-RW to overwrite the Cromwell BIOS that came on the chip, and I flashed Bank 3 with the Xecuter BIOS as well, per your guide. I booted to bank 3 in mode 1, and it still sees bank 0 as the Chameleon bios.

ummm...re-read the guide

not Xecuter into bank 3, but exvo_TSOP_flash into bank 3

mode1 boot bank3=dip 1&2 off dip 3&4 on

Hmm, I think the evox_tsop_flash file is corrupt. I'm using the newest evox, and I've heard it has ftp issues. Seems likely, as I can't even copy over a file now. I'll have to go back to v 1.8.3752 or something with ftp that worked. (Earlier, I didn't realize that evox_tsop_flash was a special bios, but I'm good now, hehe)

does this work on a 1.4 version xbox?
If so which bios is required on the chameleon?

macgyvr64 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 16, 2003, 05:54:00 PM »

Okay, I went back to evox 3752 and FTP is working again. I re-got and re-uploaded the evox_tsop_flash bios. Flashed Bank 3 while booted from Bank 0, and turned off the xbox. When I use the DIP switches to switch to Bank 3, the xbox still just flashes green, yellow, red. That BIOS simply won't boot this xbox. It's not a new xbox, either... kernel 4034, If I remember correctly. Any ideas?

Hm..

Should this work on a bad tsop flash?

macgyvr64 · « **Reply #25 on:** December 17, 2003, 02:19:00 PM »

I've tried flashing it twice, using "different" sources for the matrix_tsop_flash BIOS, and it flashed successfully both times. I don't think the flash is bad. Wehn I flash bank 3 with an executer BIOS, it boots fine. I think that bios is crap, lol

Yep raincoat and the 007 AUF work great, But the TSOP on the 1.4 I'm trying to reflash is
stuffed(x2.3977 not compatible with 1.4).
I guess without a modified M7 or better, I'll be needing a 29 wire homebrew to reflash this one.

Same problem here, same kernel, same fragging. Anyone figure this out?
