and you have tried flipping the recovery switch?

The behavior of the Xenium is the same with the switch in normal and recovery, it could be a bad switch, but I don't want to try shorting the contacts until absolutely necessary.

i gotta tell ya again this is the same as mine recovered from hdd e:\ . chip switch on recovery. cable selected hdd. orig (s) controller. no dongle.

failed recovery (not a fake chip either)

edit: oh, and of course, clock set. (its never not)

[EmperorPsiblade]

if you look back through the threads... you'll find a thread where Artifex (the XOS programmer says how to hotswap and recover the XOS... i can't remember where... maybe you'll get lucky and he'll repeat it hear....

i hope you get it working

I added clock to give all info - assure you my clock is always set, i have been vigilant about it for a long time (ever since the original mame-x). cant find the hotswap thread but that is exactly what im going to try.

thanks

edit: @Milhousen - no it wont boot red/green frag - no eject - black screen.

Well I broke down and ordered a new Xenium.  Now I just hope I can boot up with the new one and recover the old one.  Anyone have any insight on this procedure?

Your xbox time resets after unplugging it for a couple of hours.

Burn iso version to cd-rw
(burn image dont drag drop)
flip switch to revovery
and update will take place

lol - yes, i do know this , you may have never seen me post in this forum before but i've been around for quite some time.

@Milhousen - today or tomorrow i will try the hotswap and will post results here - will of course be using the cd version - (should give me a fraction more time to swap chip than hdd vers anyway)

Edit: actually i wont post results here but in the 'failed os2 upgrade' thread

not sure if this is really the right place for this but the topic does say 'Failed Os2 Update' - so here goes. cupla posts up i asked if i could hotswap from 1 xenium to another to reflash a corrupt recovery.   does anyone know if this will work:  Boot box with mates xenium ice with beta2, hotswap to my failing xenium (beta2 to os2 bad hdd upgrade)  recover from disc? I'm going to try it (cos at the moment the chip is useless - so what does it matter). but it will be a cupla days before i can get my hands on that other xenium so in the meantime any advice will be much appreciated as this is a very expensive chip in australia. thanks

Yes, you can hotswap a Xenium to repair a corrupted OS.

Check the forum, there was a long thread on this in the last week.

a full recovery takes me about 4 minutes by the time the cd is in to the time the xbox reboots... with about a minute of "fumbling" time...
