everytime I go to load the save game my xbox goes to service screen with error 21. Xbox is v1.0
Any ideas?

What version 007 AUF are you using? Is it an original or platinum hits?  Also, what kind of memory card are you using? Some 3rd party cards have been known not to work properly.

Just a question or 2

using this guide will turn a virgin xbox into a modded one, able to run unsigned code???  

also, I have looked around and can't tell if I have the sharp chip, if someone could tell me what to look for or slap me with a link that I overlooked it would be appreciated.

TIA for any info

Awesome tutorial.

Just modded mine (1.0) and my brother's (1.5).
I never soldered before.

I just don't understand anymore why people will still buy modchips now......

Thanks man for the great info !

Can someone point me 2 the picture of the v1.5 points where I have to solder. I know it is 2 points on top with a certain tsop and 3 points with another can someone show me a picture of v1.5 thanks.

I'm getting the 'error 21' also.  I am using the origional 007 and a MS memory module.  I ftp the save game to my modded xbox and then copy the save to the memory module.  Boot 007 on the unmodded xbox, load the save and get the 'error 21' screen.  I have tried different saved games with raincoat and evox - if I can load the save game I get 'error 21'  This is a ver 1.0 xbox.

Transfer the save game from the mem card to the unmodded box.  For whatever reason it won't work off the mem card.

Hey first of all thanks for this great tutorial
Very well written and easy to follow

Just had a few questions, and didn't manage to find solid answers to.

Is there any difference between using a physical mod chip and flashing the TSOP ?
Some people say don't do it ... but it seems like it would be the exact same thing.
Do you lose any features/options? Can you do it multiple times like when you need to upgrade the BIOS or replace it with the original if you ever need to ?

And lastly can this be done on any XBOX v1.0 - 1.5 no matter what chip ? I thought
I read somewhere that the raincoat method worked in any situation... or are there some chips that are not flashable

Thanks again!

Whipshock, I have been out of the scene a while, but I think I can answer your questions. The reason people are against the TSOP flashing is because it is a lot easier for a newbie to screw up their xbox. On newer xbox's the TSOP is 256k (someone correct me if I am wrong) and for this reason you can only have a modded box if you flash the TSOP, and you can never get on xbox live even if you want to. So on the newer xbox's (1.2 - 1.5 ?) you would have to use a mod chip and install a switch if you want to go from modded to unmodded so you can get on xbox live. On the version 1.0 & 1.1 there was a 1 mb TSOP which could be split into (2) 512kb or (4) 256kb TSOP sections by installing 1 or more switches. On my 1.0 I split the TSOP into (2) 512kb sections and have a switch to go from unmodded to modded, even though I dont get on xbox live I just wanted to experiment with it. TSOP flashing can be done to any version no matter what chip, but be aware of what version you are working with as they use different solder points and methods. TSOP flashing and modchips give you the same overall effects and options. Whether modchip or TSOP flashing they can both be flashed over and over without doing any damage as long as you use a good bin of the proper size.

chasmosis1 >> thank you very much for that detailed response

answered pretty much everything and I think a buddy of mine is going to try it
on his 1.5 with the raincoat method, now i'll just hafta track down the correct solder
points for his chipset

thanks again

QUOTE (gunde @ Dec 25 2003, 05:40 PM) I'm going to buy a xbox tomorrow and it will probably be an v1.4 or 1.5? So my question is: Can i use this 007 hack guide to flash the bios? Does it work on the new versions of xbox? All i need to do is to sold little? Have someone tried this at a new xbox? Must be sure so i don't sold and it's not work.. I'm confused  Yes it works on the newer thing but you need to solder 3 points (2 ontop and 1 on the bottom) and use raincoat .5 not the .3 release that is bundled on the usual places. All you need to do to make the .3 release .501 is download the raincoat .501 package from xbox-linux on sourceforge and then replace the raincoat and raincoat.conf files. Also you may need to add a few lines to the .conf file depending if your bios chip is listed in the file or not. A@ron

You only need to do the top 2 points.  You do NOT need to do the bottom board point.  Just use the 007AUF Rain 051 with M7 bios and you'll be fine.  Done over 100 of these in the past month.

Iowa??  hehe.. i thought i was the only one from Iowa..  Not to far away.. In the next bigger town 45mins from you  Only thing though... I can't wait to freaking move in about 3-4 months!!  Not the place for me ...

Does this work if I use a Xbox CF adaptor to transfer my savegame?

Thanks,
Mike

[a94cobra]

I didn't know that they made a CF adapter.  Where did you get that?

one of the best threads. I've made use of it for cut and paste with raincoat many a time.
