Big Problem With Bert And Ernie
« on: July 12, 2003, 11:24:00 PM »
NEED HELP!!

did bert and ernie exploit , tried to flash tsop , tsop flash failed ( bad flash )
now i had to buy a chip, X2 lite 2.2
installed it , flashed bios with 4977 / Cromwell Flashbios ( switchable dual bios )
xbox boots fine , freezes halfway through loading dash
xbox wont load any games / any thing

most likely due to loss of xbox time clock? or bert and ernie files on hd ..

what can i do to fix this ..  tried hotswap and hddloader.. no luck getting that to work

Flash the chip with X2, and load evox, then fix the bert/ernie problem via ftp

none of that worked. CAUTION to anyone with bert and ernie who loses the time on thier xbox... you will be so screwed , and not be able to boot ANYTHING or even set the clock. the whole issue is it freezes on load up while trying to set the clock. i have an x2 2.2 lite , and 4977 bios. after the longest 2 days, we finally ended up using another xboxs UNLOCKED drive ( we used config magic to unlock the drive of another modded box) put the intact drive in my box with the x2 , BERT AND ERNIE are the culprits.. damn them, and erase them.  once we were able to set the time , and ftp the bad files out of my hd , everything went great.

turn on xbox by pressing eject button. put in 007 or mech assault. turn off xbox. turn xbox back on and it should boot straight to game and not dash.

well and here it is revealed....

matrix is just another mod_chip builder, trying to discredit the exploits.

just updating MY POST , xdreamer is a moron .. and im no modchip seller , that is quite retarded this issue was very serious , and i resolved it the best way i saw fit , also wanted to support the scene and go with the real deal modchip , not have to worry about the exploit which seems quite temporary and risky .. dangerous

There is nothing THAT wrong with the bert and ernie font files. It works just fine and if you leave it unplugged, you will get the clock loop and all that is needed to fix that is to have some patience and do the eject at the right time a few times  and hook up your network cable with maybe audio cd in drive. It will work. And from reading your post it does come off as you are some how involved in modchip sales cause if you just do a search on the forum, you can read several users posting on how they recovered from the clock loop.
