I have here an xbox that just wont accept being modded.
Manufacture date 12/8/2003
Xbox Version 1.4 or 1.5 - Multimeter is goosed so cant check for sure
Modchip Xecuter 2.6CE - header pin install
Bioses tried Xecuter2 5035 & Evox M8
I installed the chip in this box, flashed the bios with X2_5035old via HTTP from flashbios 3.01, rebooted it and it loaded to M$ dash as i expected.
Next up was to install a dashboard so i put AID3.0 in the drive, at the M$ logo screen xbox rebooted. Tried to boot again then rebooted at the logo screen.
I took the disc out put an original game in, booted & played no probs.
I tried AID3.0 again, same problem. Also tried AID2.11 & Xboxmaker 1.4 & X-disk1.35 all with the same result - constant reboot at the logo screen.
Tried a different X2.6CE,with same results.
Bios problem i thought, so i reflashed chip with EvoxM8, same old story im afraid.
DVD problem then i thought. tried my Samsung out of my own Xbox, same results!
Even tried my 120gb HDD that has dashboard already installed, Same results.
As the xbox mobo could be a 1.5 i even tried grounding pin 2 but even that gave the same results!
This has got me completely baffled, never encountered anything like this in all the xboxes ive modded.
Exhausted all the avenues i could think of.
Just seems that the 1st sniff of unsigned code the xbox sees it reboots itself (IMG:

Any advice more than welcome
