Answers:

The xbox boots to the default xbox screen with or without the chip in it.  The chip has been flashed with Cromwell 2.7 and it never ejects the tray or prompts for a cd.  If it was a connection error wouldnt it frag?  Also if not then what would be the things you would check to see if connection is good?  The adapter is tightly fitted and the d0 pt is soldered accurately.  What else is there?

Since it boots to the xbox screen with the chip in it you do not have all the contact points connected correctly.

Xbox 1- If Chip 2 has no different reaction in either box than a non-flashed chip has, then I can assume one thing based on what you gave me above.  First boot it with the adapter in, but no chip.  What does it do? Remove the adapter from Xbox 1 (green/orange frags).  Does the box boot normally without the adapter in it?  If not, we know the xbox has problems. If it boots normally it is the adapter or the installation of such at fault.

With the adaptor ONLY (no chip connected) the xbox boots in normal sequence to the MS Dash.

Re-Confirmed that attaching either chip FRAGS xbox 1 (v1.1), while xbox 2 (v1.0) goes solid green but does not boot to either the cromwell screen or the ms dash.

Ok...lemme get this straight.  Correct me where I am wrong:

Xbox 1:
No Adapter- Boots normal
With Adapter- Boots normal
With Chip 1- Multi-colored frags
With Chip 2- Multi-colored frags

XBox 2:
No Adapter- Boots normal
With Adapter- Boots normal
With Chip 1- Blank screen
With Chip 2- Blank screen

I this correct?

The problem I am having is this: when I remove my chips but leave the solderless adapter in, all 3 of my Xboxes frag!  This leads me to believe there is a problem with the adapters.  However, I'm not going to put that in "stone".  If you are interested, PM me.  Maybe we can work something out for me to test your chips.

Yes, you have that correct.

However there is ZERO reason for just an adaptor to FRAG an xbox. It is not making connections to anything. It is simply extending the contact points further off the motherboard. It has not crossed any contacts or made any new contacts so there is NO reason that JUST the adaptor should affect the xbox. And it doesnt in my box which makes perfect sense to me.

[JonDante]

Actually, connecting the solderless adapter to the D0 causes the entire LPC point to have a ground (otherwise the XBox is not even aware it is there...thus the whole reason for using that as an exploit).

However, if we assume that you are right, then both your chips are crap and you need to buy new ones. Sorry. I gave you all the info I know, and have offered to let me try to program them.

Look at one of the adaptors. What exactly does the D0 connector ground to? Unless there are some internal circuits IN the plastic the adapter alone doesnt do anything to the DO (at least the one I have). There is a wire going from the D0 wire, across the adaptor to a pin that does NOT extend through to the other side. It just sticks up to connect to the mod chip. This should do anything to the d0 point other then essentially "relocate" the point.


BTW, where are the team XODUS guys. I submitted a request via their site as well as PMed them here. EB2k actually seems to give better customer support then team xodus.

Mine connects to pin 4. This is probably your problem.

Don't be a moron.  EB2K hasn't given SHIT except for shipping dates.  You do read the boards yes?

I support everyone here, whether they have bought a chip from me or not.  Even the idiots who have continued to support EB2K gets my support.

Xodus cannot support something they did not sanction.  Neither can they support something that they had no quality control over.

I have spent a lot of time posting here to you, trying to help you out.  Xodus has very well documented manuals on installing the chip.

Bottomline...if your chips don't work, send them back to where you got them from, cause it is THEIR responsibility to check them for problems BEFORE passing them on to you.  I DO!!!  Anyone here ever got a bad chip from JonDante???  Hell no!

Don't cross me on this, and especially not after I have offered my help while having the damn flu!

But my pin 4 doesnt go anywhere. It would just go into the chip, but it doesnt go through the adaptor to the motherboard. So with no chip on the adaptor their is no way what the D0 / pin 4 should matter.

Actually, it goes INTO the Chameleon, so I see your point about not making a difference WITHOUT a chip present.

I really feel like your chips have problems.  Either with memory, or bad-flashed from the factory.
