Go download ConfigMagic final. Inside you'll find some blank eeproms; if you have a 1.0 use the 1.0 eeprom, everything else use the 1.1 one.. (If you have a 1.6 those two wont work, but anyways..)

FTP the eeprom to the xbox's HDD in XOS. I hope your HDD is unlocked, or you'll need a new HDD as well... But anyways.. yeah, if you have a recent version of XOS2, go to eeprom tools and choose "Restore eeprom from BIN" If its not there, you'll need to upgrade your XOS first.

Once you choose that, navigate to the eeprom (If the HDD is locked and you couldn't FTP it to the HDD, burn it to a CD) and select it; when its done your xbox will be up and running again.

guru,

Would this work on a Xbox that had the wrong EEPROM flashed on it?
If it's a blank EEPROM how will it work?

well that did not work, it still frags any other ideas?

The onboard TSOP could be shot as well... With Xenium in, can you boot to the "Retail Kernel" item in the launch menu?

Also, what version xbox is this bishop05?

bishop05 · « **Reply #6 on:** January 07, 2005, 01:34:00 PM »

yes I could boot the Retail Kernel with the chip in. I belive it's a version 1.0
in XOS/EEPROM TOOLS/is states it's a version 1.0

Hmm, that's interesting... What happens on the xbox when you try to boot it without the chip? (IE LEDs, onscreen stuff, etc)

Sorry, when i try to boot the Retail Kernel it frags.
Xbox need service.
