Hey guys,

My friends had a 1.6 Xbox and I told them to get a Xenium, so they did. I have a Xenium installed pin header method so I put his Xenium in my Xbox and flashed OS2 on his chip. Then I had some fragging issues. I rechecked all my points and resoldered the pin headers and it worked! Booted up OS2 and flashed EvoX M8_16. Installed UnleashX and all apps and now my friends are happy campers. By the way, I soldered LFRAME to Ground on the motherboard like everyone said. I didn't even bother to solder it to d0 on chip.  
And the Xenium install wasn't too hard. NOT EVEN CLOSE to a PS2 mod-chip install (I never did one before, but I have seen someone do it)!

It worked without a d0? I didnt think that is possible.

[Master-Chief]

The LFRAME is considered the d0. I just grounded it like everyone said to do.

can you take pics? My 1.1 board died, and I bought a new box. Right now I am dead in the water since it is a v 1.6 and I have no clue how to solder such tiny ass points w/o messing up my whole new box.

[Master-Chief]

The d0 in the diagrams taht says to connect to d0 on the chip will not work...

What you do is solder one end of the wire to the d0 to the point specified on the 1.6 diagrams and solder the other end of it to ground on the motherboard (the metal donut around screw holes). The diagrams said solder the d0 on the motherboard to the d0 on the chip, but others said that it fragged the Xbox.

LFRAME = d0 (basically)

lets see some pics  !

I got a few pics but they are a little blurred for I was into getting it working rather than taking pics... my mod right after though I got lots of pics Cheapmod on a 1.3...


prplehz: Evox gives you a 1MB file, if im not mistaken, but I don't think that really does extract one... I got mine from the usual place we don't talk about.

I'll crack open the box and take some pics.

EDIT: made a complete n00b guide... had to lose the big pics to upload it.

Are any of you using the Xenium/OSv2pre on a 1.6 and using the HDTV adapter to hook  up to your television?  I read that the beta of OS2 didn't work with HDTV adapter and don't want to do the install until it's confirmed to work.  I have 42" widescreen HDTV and hook up using component video cables.

Thanks!

lol I am thinking the same thing.

[Master-Chief]

Nice pics TSOPrano... I didn't know the SmartXX Diagrams worked for the Xenium!  

[xboxhackcrack]

Very nice, but it looks totally different than what the xenium site says to do, and where the heck is your D0 wire? (I am still probly going to follow your way of doing it since I have heard the xenium way is sory of wrong but I still want my question ansewered

Maybe this will clear up a little confusion. I am still not sure about the topside D0 so here is what I did.

Followed the Xodus 1.6 Install Pic for bottom side and top side D0. That got the frag issue obviously.

Then, the only other thing I did was to look at the SmartXX picture for their D0 (LFrame) and soldered a wire from that point on the bottom to the ground pad on the bottom next to the LPC points. I didnt run the wire through the hole to the topside like the pics show. After that the 1.6 booted just fine.. now I have the drive size issue (not seeing over 137G)
