You can get a flashed TSOP to work on Xbox Live! Using the multi-bios trick. The way to do is is flash a 256k image of the original XBOX bios, and the other 3 x 256k images of modded bios code. When you want to play on live, use the original bios and you can get on. Flashing the tsop is one of the best ways to mod your xbox! Use only one mod chip to flash all your friends XBOXs and save money!

I agree.

I use ONE matrix and have done countless tsop flashs now.

I have NEVER had a striped screw, a bad flash (not yet ..knocking on wood)..

Another thing.. ALOT of people are confused by V1.0 etc etc...

PEOPLE IN THE US DO NOT worry YET.
WE ALL HAVE 1.0  so far..  none of the 1.1 have made it here (correct me if I am wrong)

I have seen the different dates on the 1.0's however NONE have had a problem with flashing tsop.

Another thing people are doing is just buying ANOTHER xbox.. I know some can't including myself.. but some can AND sinse you buy the games for it anyway.. might as well just buy one for 150$ and mod it.. and have 2 .. one for modding and one for live play.

Some of us could care less about live.
Some of us would die without it.

I have never soldered before.. and have learned ALOT.. luckily I have taken my time with everything and learned before trying.  Stick with what works!  don't update until you read others and their problems.

btw if you can flash the tsop once you can do it again and again.
load the original bios on it if you want it back to original if that is what you are worried about.

and oooo big deal if you do screw up the flash.. just use the damn matrix. you would have had a modified bios anyway.


TSOP is fine if you know what you are doing.
2 drops of solder and 1 simple wire ..and MOST of the time that one wire can just fit in the hole that it connects to.  bend it down and boom no solder.   Some yes .. you do have to solder .   but thats it.  Don't need to be a pro to do it.. just practice on other things that are like it.. like those old boards if you have any. once you can do it.. try it.

I live in the US, and I just finished modding two xboxes for my friends (christmas presents) and both were v1.1

v1.1 XBOXs are in the States already. Knowing EVO-X Team, we will be getting a Matrix TSOP flash bios soon. Once we have that bios, we can flash the XBOX v1.1 consoles!

This is what some of these "pre-modded" xbox sites are doing. Some poor fool orders his new system, expecting a mod-chip, and when it arrives, he opens it up, and see's no mod-chip. It is deceitful if you are selling the xbox's claiming they have a mod-chip. (Just a side rant, directed at the un-named fiends among us!)

Anyway, if you are just flashing TSOP on your own box, and don't care about live, or any other future changes, good luck with your TSOP flashing! But don't for one minute think it is the "best" solution. It may be cheaper, and easier to keep working because your soldering sucks, but the inability to restore the machine to factory config and use live is not worth it to most of us...

What if game makers start checking for LPC mod chips? It is still readable, even on the LPC. Even if d0 is not grounded. If the game makers decide to check LPC, they can do it, d0 grounded or not.

here are some explains for peoples intellectually limited:
flashing tsop is the best alternative u can find:
u can flash 4 different bios on tsop and plug 4 switchs to switch the bios u want to use
i use homebrew because it is cheap and i am sure of the result
i dont let the homebrew in order to flash and reflash differents consoles !
if u are too limited to understand that    buy a crap modchip   and dont come crying when u crash your motherboard because u r a f...ing noob with your damn solders points
thats all

[sir-aseman]

just one last thing....
flashing tsop is really great because of the multibios trick
it allow u to play on live as easily as it is to press a damn switch
u can restore your xbox as factory default by flashing an original bios integraly on tsop
u can flash new bios really simply and u r not obliged to buy another damn modchip because yours is not flashable
blah blah blah   stupids peoples are so boring....
so   i recommand for stupids peoples to use a modchip and just to shut and cry when they'll be banned from xbox live because their xbox were not...  how to say...   evolutives...
for peoples who want to be allways at the top,  priceless and really simply...    try homebrew

[tedbundy]

arseman

you call xecuter shit but you use their software ?

get real man - you are preaching bullshit to the bullshitters

if someone wants homebrew - they can
if someone wants a QUALITY PRO MOD like xecuter or even matrix - they can

they don't need you or ppl like imurderer to change their minds

dude - why are you preaching info that is months old ??

do you know that every time you say "flashing the TSOP" you are showing all the techies amongst how much of a joke you are

you don't even know what the term TSOP means - but wait - whos gonna guess he uses google when replying lol  

[nfmus]

But he's such an intellectually gifted "peoples".

You are very right Ted, people have the right to decide for themselves what they want.  I am taking a stance not to push my preferences on others, only to inform them of the facts.  I think that this philosophy, if adopted by others, can help to make this a better place.

True, I do bash people for being stupid, but that's just one of my personality flaws.

This thread is about TSOP flashing, if you have nothing worth value to add about TSOP flashing except to flame people who want to do this Ted Bundy or NFMUS, then go somewhere else. TSOP flashing is one of the best methods of modding the XBOX. The XBOX TSOP chip can hold 4 bioses, and can be made to work on live.

You can use a backup copy to play live with your TSOP flashed? Damn, I am really out of the loop then...

[MURDERER]

No, you can't use a backup copy to play live. With the XBOX TSOP flashed, it can hold 4 bioses. If one of your bioses is an original, and thats the bios you boot with, it won't let you boot up unsigned code, i.e. backups, emulators. You will still have to have an original game in order to play live. The original bios will let you get onto Live though, it just won't let you play backups. When you want to play backups, select a modded bios using the multi-bios switches. Don' t try to get on live with any of the modded bioses on the TSOP though, you will get banned. Select the original bios.
