Xenium Os 2.0.0

How do I upgrade off CD?  Burn the CD, put it in the drive and reboot?  Or do I need to put the CD in the drive and hit recovery and it will do everything else?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm a noob here, running version 1.6, xenium ice.

I just upgraded from os 2.0 beta to 2.0 final this afternoon. I tried the hdd method first, which didn't work. I would get a black screen, flashing orange eject led, followed by solid red.

I went with the iso method, and it worked the first time.

The only oddity i've noticed since the upgrade is that when I reset my network settings, i chose to 'restart network' after i had them all set. it sat there forever (like 30 minutes) saying 'restarting network', finally i power cycled. when it came back up, my setting had been saved the way i entered them, and everything seemed to work ok. i didn't try to restart network again 'cuz i didn't have any need to.

everything else seems to ROCK!!! I LOVE THIS CHIP/OS!!!

So far I've only seen a few people with sucesss on the upgrade. Guess I'll wait. A saying my dad always tells me

"If it works dont fix/mess/upgrade/fiddle with it"

I've had no problem with my Xenium ICE since it was installed and I want to keep it that way

I've got another one for you wink.gif

"bad news is louder"

Basically, people who don't have a problem, don't tend to tell the world about their non-problems. So with things like this you only hear from the people with problems, even if the vast majority of people have no problems.

I'm thinking there's just more people with problems because there are more people installing this version since its a FINAL and not BETA release.

I upgraded last night and every thing went well, except for this I unplugged my Xbox for about 12 hours and guess what Error code 16.  I thought that the clock bug was fixed?  Any way I had to find my retail drive and set the clock...

Hmmm

Why would you need to get your original drive... unless you don't have your original MS dash on your c drive.

(or if your current drive is not lockable)

Thanks!  Now if I do it with CD, do I need to boot to the XOS 2 Pre-release (loaded on it now) and choose recovery then boot with the CD in

Yes, or if you cant do that, then you need to flick the recovery switch on the actual ice

I did one yesterday, and the OS would not detect the D:\ drive at all, eventually I just wound up using the Included FTP, which to be honest is buggy at best, and flashing it that way, but it really isn't good enough.

The d: drive will only appear if the CD/DVD in it can be read by the DVD drive in the xbox.

The DVD drive in xboxes are notoriously crappy and often won't read many different brands of media, hence the importance of being able to flash via the network or usb drive.

Here is my problem:

Tried to do the HDD Upgrade - got an error message that "ATX Cluster. Out of data when reading cluster 19088743".  Rebooted XBOX - no video on through Hi-Def.  Switched video cable to normal composite.  Rebooted Console.  Just shows the Xenium recovery screen and the same error message.

Download ISO upgrade - burnt it to CD-RW.  Put in it the drive, rebooted.  Same screen.  Switched the chip in to recovery mode. Rebooted. Same screen.

Am I doing something wrong?  Has anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks.

Xbox details:
* 1.4 XBOX
* Xenium ICE
* 250gig Maxtor (locked)

I got that error when I upgraded one chip to XOS2b2... did you try just letting the upgrade continue anyway?

It seems to have worked fine for me.

I have 2.0 pre release on the Xenium Ice Solderless mod chip i just received for my xbox v1.0. I only have 2 S Controllers, i  have no originals. Am I out of luck? I dont even know anyone that has an original controller. Any ideas?

Why would you be out of luck? It works fine with the 'S'.

Recovery/Install worked without flaw, yellow writing at top of recovery mode screen is still off the top of the screen on my tv smile.gif

power then eject doesn't seem to cause the green flashing light, i'm also hoping it doesn't happen any more after power is disconnected for a while smile.gif (this is finally what drove me to run the update wink.gif)

Repair HDD Upgrade - good move smile.gif, will it damage the save games on the new HD if its performed? should it be performed by people who have already done the e: drive format with evox (as per my guide?)

I will test the HD upgrade wizard et al when I next have to mod an xbox smile.gif

Restoring EEPROM from BIN, fantastic feature! I tested it... seems to work smile.gif

Restoring from Backup, its probably still worth while to prompt a user to perform an eeprom backup the first time they run XOS in their xbox when there is no backup? Too many newbies don't make a backup, and then screw up their eeprom.

New Improved QuickBoot with Timeout rocks smile.gif), much easier to use than having only a few milliseconds to press the controller in just the right way smile.gif

Can you make it so that pressing "start" on the timeout screen aborts the timeout? (ie goes straight to the main screen)

Launch Item -> Add Flash Item, file list still doesn't seem to be in alphabetical order (i don't know what order it is in), rather than using an empty name for bioses which don't have a known checksum it'd be much better to use the filename less the .bin extension.

Keyboard, no insertion point detracts from the ease of use, means you can't see spaces which have already been typed... helps those with no short term memory wink.gif

Ability to view/reset the LED colour without having to delete and re-add a bios would be nice.

Not being able to see the LED colour on the LED/Xternal LED when picking a LED colour like you could in XOS1.1 is a feature I miss and was way cool just for demonstrating the niftyness of the Xenium's RGB led smile.gif

Cool, gateway and dns settings seem to have been grabbed via DHCP now smile.gif))

SMB server doesn't require dynamic IP smile.gif), haven't tested yet as the OS I'm currently running only supports SMB to IP addresses/domain names.

The Web Interface is *VERY* promising! Flashing via the web is very neat, as you can type the name quite easily smile.gif, Actually, its more than promising, its extremely useful smile.gif. Can you add an option to change the video mode. This would solve all the problems where people change their video mode and then they can't change it back because they can't see what they're doing!

Sometimes when I go into Xenium OS it comes up in black n white, doesn't really matter, I think its just my TV detecting the xbox as an NTSC source before it switches to PAL or something like that, in fact, if its grey and I force the TV to PAL, then it works fine, if I then put it back on auto its working fine, so I guess its just a minor issue with XOS booting into NTSC then switching very quickly to PAL. I guess turning the TV off/on would also fix the problem... I wonder if people with rolling video aren't just experiencing the same thing.

The blue hilite rather than greying the text is MUCH better smile.gif (I nearly didn't notice it wink.gif)

telnet info command looks like lots of fun wink.gif

still need to update the help command to at least list all the commands, along with probably a warning

FTP client compatibility still needs work.

I think the most important thing now is to optimize the partition copier so that it can be used to upgrade large drives to larger drives, it is one of the potentially killer features of the xenium, and its a pitty its not really practical currently.

My favourite pie-in-the-sky feature would be a simple file manager to make it so you could fully install an xbox with a USB thumbdrive smile.gif

Tests performed on a Crystal Edition 1.4 Xbox with Xenium ICE

i upgraded a couple days ago, but havent had a chance to play much to figure out any issues.  i used the hd method utilizing smart ftp, then recovered, worked fine.  so far i have found 2 things, 1 very good, 1 just annoying but not something to gripe over.

the annoyance:  before i upgraded, when i'd boot to os with eject, all was fine.  now it still boots to os, but also ejects the dvd tray.  odd.

the good news though.  and i'd really like to know if anyone has some input on this, because it would be positive input and not griping.  since upgrading, and reinstalling my bios (4983.06), my overall performance runs much better, faster.  boot is super fast.  even little things such as the rss feeds scrolling across the screen used to be a little slow, now they are much faster.  not sure where this comes from, but i definately like it.

like i said, so far i havent had any issues.  played a couple games for about 5 minutes a piece testing.  they seemed fine.  streamed some vids to xbmc, worked fine.  avalaunch worked fine.  so far, i have no issues other than the dvd thing, which isnt an issue, just an annoyance.

a feature that i thought of that might be nice.  i can understand that running bios from flash as it would run faster.  i can also understand benefits having bios on hd, as you could have mutliples (though i only have a need for one).  what if there was a swap system, kinda like ram.  you'll have a launch command, and when you launch, the chip is auto flashed with a bios from hd.  if later you select another bios, it wipes and overwrites with another.  something like that.  i don't know if there is a ram type solution for that, but seemed like another alternative.

good job xodus.  keep it going.

Ok so I wanted to upgrade my OS, so I ftped the new .bin file, went into recovery and flash it, it said got from hdd, so I turned it off. When I booted up it kept fragging. Then I went into recovery mode and it said got from hdd. Now when I boot I get no video and I get the green LED. What can I do?

This only happened to me the once, when I first started up XOS 2.0.0,  I assumed it stopped happening because I enabled InstantBoot, but now I'm not so sure as I think it stopped happening even before I enabled InstantBoot smile.gif
