hi guys,
why do u all use theses damn matrix crap and xecuter shits ?
a better solution exist more stable, easy to update less cost and really really simple to do
Just flash tsop...
Make your own homebrew modchip  with a flashrom and your motherboard (a tutorial on this site...)
activate tsop flash
boot your console   flash the tsop
turn off    cut the modchip  and thats it
u got a xbox modded, flashed ready to play import and backups games etc...
and really easy to upgrade  just use the flash function on evox to update it
(put 2 or 3 switch on the mobo and cut your bios in 4   to be able to use 4 different bios...   for dev or xboxlive for example...)

just think about it before buying an expansive crap modchip....

True, using homebrew is a good way of flashing the TSOP too, but soldering 28 wires is sooooo hard, don't you think? I mean, DaOne can solder on a homebrew in 15 minutes  . I wish I was that good, but I just don't have the skillz yet.

buy 1 matrix and flash as many boxes you like

[sir-aseman]

true  matrix is a good way to flash tsop...
BUT !!!
yep  theres a f....ing "but"..  the matrix doesn't work wwith all versions of xbox  
like all the 3rd generation of modchip
v1.0 build between april and june are unable to use theses modchips... (not all  but some of theme)
and  a homebrew is less cost than matrix (a homebrew flashrom cost : 20$ !!!!)
of course  u need an average skill in soldering....  but its priceless :-)

uhh, there are only 2 versions of xbox and matrix works on both, were u refering to tsop flashing??

[sir-aseman]

nope  theres a version of v1.0
which was build between april and june
this version (of pal xbox) doesn't accept the 3rd generation of modchip
i got a version of these xbox
i tried 1 x ecuter, 1 x ecuter 1.1, 1x ecuter2 and 1 matrix
none of these modchips had work on my console
so i used a homebrew and i flash my tsop   and it works now
i got a friend who has the same problem
information is sure   pal xbox  between april and june doesn't accept theses modchips

Why on earth would you want to flash your Tsop ?

You can't dissable it in anyway in order to reap the benefits of XBlive ?

I would personaly shoot anyone I found flashing a Tsop

FFs I might of thought razielx and imurderer would be involved in such a crap thread as this.

But wait, why would you solder in a modchip, flash tsop, and then remove modchip? Why don't you just leave your homebrew in there and forget about the tsop?  

And besides, people who buy a Matrix buy one because they can't solder.

[|HM|]

The reason  he spouts on about flashing his beloved Tsops is more than likely because he is a cheap ass little shit who flashes his so called m8's [customers] tsops for a small fee of course.

Flashing you internal tsop is for the lame and retarded.

GET a Fkin life Imurderer.

The whole idea to flash TSOP is to allow flashing multiple Xbox with just one modchip. That way people can save money.

But this has a really bad effects:

You will never be able to go on XBL never again. Plus you'll become dependant of the person who got the modchip in the sense that only him will be able to reflash your TSOP for a bios upgrade you'll possibly need later.

For that reason I don't recommend to anyone to flash their TSOP. It dosn't worth the money you save.

[|HM|]

Once flashed you can upload your new bios files via ftp and update with evox etc if the links are left in place BUT I would not reccomend that.

I have reflashed my TSOP with EVOX and it flashes just fine every time without using a mod chip once you have it flashed you just reflash on new updates, Im sure the BIOS gurus are going to figure the XBLIVE out soon enough and have another flash update so all those people in denial about playing on a flashed TSOP will be like OH I SEE in the end.  

[|HM|]

U reckon so yeah ?

Me and 5 friends with xboxes found that flashing the TSOP was the best thing that we ever did to it. Firstly because we found that the other chips were so temperamental, between us we had Matrix's, X-ecuters, and  Enigmahs.  What we found was that everytime we held an xbox party at least one of the xboxes would fail. (usually a dry solder point or matrix had come out of line).

This along with the fact that all of them live in rural areas of the UK that is never gonna see broadband or XBlive for many years was the deciding factor.

Furthermore, you can now pick up a enigmah chip for £12, so for that price I couldn't be bothered to attempt to make a homebrew mod.

And is it just me but does anyone else find the Enigmah the easiest chip to install, or am I just weired
