I have flashed a few xboxes and they all fine but this (ST) is the first.

Here is the problem:

Soldered the 3 points (2 on top and 1 on bottom)
Loaded up 007AUF evox from hd
Flashed with 256K
Everything ok, machine turns itself off

Now when I turn on the machine, no video, machine powers on then off twice, then red, green, red,green....over and over.

Please help

By all indications, this is a 1.2 or 1.3 but I don't know why it's fragging. I know that if you flashed a 1.0 with a 256K instead of the 1mb, this would happen but I'm pretty sure this is a 1.2/1.3.

Futhermore, I thought about soldering 3 wires to fix a bad flash (if that's what it is) but the component labled C6R3 in the picture, is actually C6R5 on this motherboard, and it's completely different than the picture posted here:

Please help, I'm totally out of ideas. Thanks in advance

I had the same problem, everything seemed to flash but when I turned it back on I got that fragging that you are talking about. I had to install a X2 2.3b pro chip to get it working again. But I think what my problem was is I tried to flash my 1.5 with a older x2 bios. I have done another xbox the same way as the first one and I used the M7 bios and I made sure the evox.ini file had my particular tsop in there. But I think your problem was trying to flash an older bios to a newer console. Post back which bios you used and what version of xbox you have.

Do you know if the bios you had was the repack?

If you read at the bottom of that link it will tell you why there was a repack of that bios. I am not sure if xbtools will tell you exactly which bios you have or not but it is worth checking to find out.

You might take a look at this, works fine for me and lots of others.

TSOP Flash All versions

The only version needing three points soldering is a V1.1 with a SHARP TSOP

honestly, i don't think it was the repack

is the x2.3b my only option now because i have 2.2 x2, will it work for me?

regardless, will this mean that this xbox can only have a modchip inside from now on or is a TSOP still an option once i install a x2.2/2.3

As far as I know you can use any LPC mod, you just have to leave the chip on it. You could get a 28 wire mod and reflash the tsop. I would just get another x2 chip like you have and install it. Then try again on another xbox. But if you are going to do that I would go ahead and order 2 chips so if you mess that one up you will have a backup solution.

thanks teckard, do you know if my x2.2 will be compatble with my model of xbox?
