Veryu very cool.

I counted about 30 errors in the code which need to be fixed before assembling. Has anyone had a crack at it yet?

I still keep getting errors with MPASM for some reason.
I haven't used it since upgrade. Perhaps there is a bug.
Will look into it.

You really don'y need the PIC or the Code to do this. Just follow the directions below the code. Turning the X2 off after you turn on the Xbox is not that hard to do. It just takes a few times before you learn when to do it. After that, its easy to repeat.

Just remember to use a boot CD or have Evox on your hard drive in a place the EvoxMatrixTSOP bios can find it. Slayer's 2.0 disk works great for this, Just flash the TSOP with the Bios on his disk, then you can copy a different Bios to your harddrive and flash that.

It says to turn off switch 4 on X2 Pro, can i aussume i can just take the On/Off jumper off the X2 Lite and uflash it with the X2 4976.02?

You just take the jumper off the Lite. You need to create a 1 meg bios image with 4 copies of 4976.02 in it. This is what I have programed in my TSOP and it works great.

The Lite is a little scary to use, you must program it with the EvoxMatrixTSOP bios to do this. If you can't get Evox to Boot (it may take a few tries to get the timing down.) then you may not beable to reprogram the Lite back to a work Bios. You can't run a box with the MatrixTSOP bios. It is only used to flash the TSOP.

But it does work. Several people have used this method with a Lite and Flashed the TSOP.

This is all good if you have code on your tsop..,but what if there is no code on the onboard tsop? Ive tried this on my 1.0 that I flashed with emigah and hosed. I forgot to disable 15,21. so I bought the x2 . Box fires up with any bios but the Matrix_tsop. flip dip number 4 ...1/2 second into boot it goes into the on/off cycle mode with red /green flashing button. Timed the switch 4 a hundred times. Am I just missing something? Oh and I barowed a buddies Matrix and the whole proccess acted exactly the same. also I was doing the t1 to ground. Any help is apriciated:)

has to be a working bios on the onboard rom to do wthis method

only other way to fixed a hosed rom is to take it off and programme manually (but of course 99% of you are not going to do this or dont have the tools/skills)

so basically you just need to fit a mod and use the bios on this

if you want to use XBL then i recommend selling the box (with the mod) and getting a new one

perhaps not wanted you wanted to hear tho bro ?

No That is what I figured Thanks:)

Will this method work with xecuter 1?

My 12c508 assem released on April 4 to the newsgroups flashes and disables your chip for XBL. Diagram for LED dropper required
see a.b.cd.image.xbox for the complete 'clevermod.rar'

XBL Disable and WP flash hex.

tap pwer on = evox bios

eject on = MS bios
Hold power in for 3 seconds when starting enters Cheapmod flash mode

actually he can program 2 bios's on his lite and have one the original and one his modded bios, that way he can just switch to whichever he wants.

Hippo, your code does every thing your say it does. I've done quite a few tests with it and the flash enable works well, the D0 enable works well. The power to most modchips the way they are wired up is still active on pins 25 and 32 even if 3.3V is not supplied to them by the Pic of the usual power supply on the board. To completely disable the chip you need to isolate those two pins from the rest. The led doesn't work real well because I think a 220ohm resistor might be a bit high. I will look into that later on tonight.

Ubergeek · « **Reply #44 on:** April 16, 2003, 02:18:00 AM »

and why not post a link the the file instead of forcing ppl to visit that ng ?

also id like to not that hippo's work has zero to do with what we're discussing in this threa - hippo did you actually read what the code was about ?

hippos code is for enable / disable of lpc mod (in his case a cheap mod) via reset / eject

the code discussed in this thread is for flashing the ONBOARD ROM (TSOP) using an X2 or any LPC mod
