Alrighty, I installed the chip (AWSOME CHIP) and it boots to the Xenius OS just fine..I loaded the TSOP up to the launch menu (as the guide says) and then I booted to it after naming and choosing it's boot color....Well when it goes to launch the original dash it goes fine until after the flubber animation and then the eject LED flashes Red and green and then a "Your xbox needs service" page gets thrown up there...(Not a FRAG..I know what that is)

Now it isn't an error number because I see no error number...I am left not knowing what to do because as far as I understand I can't load my X2 Bios until I set the Clock...PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

try installing an alternate dashboard such as EvoX...

the Xenium OS has a built in FTP and SMB server...

[Dangerously_Cheesy]

aren't you supposed to set the clock first? thats what the guide says..

[EmperorPsiblade]

sigh...

plz read some real tutorials on xbox modification TUTORIALS.XBOX-SCENE.COM!!!!

[Dangerously_Cheesy]

I honestly appreciate your help mate but here is the thing, I have read the damn manual over and over again and all I needed from anyone was an answer of what to do now...Here is the XENIUM ICE GUIDE:

QUOTE

You will now get a message saying “Adding Launch Item.” [...] If all went well, your XBOX should now boot the TSOP and the standard MS XBOX dashboard should appear on the screen. If you look in the left side vents of the XBOX, the Xenium LED should be off (or whatever color you set it to). Before doing anything else, take a moment and set the system clock and date. Failing to do so at this point may cause you to encounter system errors later during other activities. Remember that your XBOX only holds its clock settings for about 3 hours when disconnected from AC power. Please remember to always reset the clock and date whenever your XBOX has been disconnected from power for longer than 3 hours.

See? My xbox doesn't get to the dash...It simply splashes a "needs service" screen right after the Flub animation and the eject will flash red...Sorry if I seem to be overlooking something, I just need some help.

[EmperorPsiblade]

don't worry about it... jsut update your Xenium to the latest verison first....

additionaly... that bios ISN'T a hacked bios... it is the origanal one.... just a reminder...

Thank you so much EmperorPsiblade, you are truly awsome, I'm glad you helped me

I will upgrade to Xenius OS 2.0.1 later and tell you how it goes, I just was worried about what might happen if I don't set the clock from within MS DASH..I know it's not hacked hehehe

[Dangerously_Cheesy]

Alrighty, updated to 2.0.1 fine but still the same error. All I want to know is this: Will it harm my xbox in any way if I just installed my X2 bios and load up evox? I just heard of horrible stories from people that failed to set their clock from the MS Dash..Please and thank you.

[EmperorPsiblade]

it shouldn't harm anything...

GREEN/RED Flashing: Probably a bad chip or bad image.

from here

you somehow corrupted you're retail bios image..

[Dangerously_Cheesy]

Hrmm...It worked perfectly fine before installing the chip (tested) and now it is corrupted (how can one corrupt a retail bios )...hrmm well I guess I will follow ur advice and flash the chip with X2 4983.06 and try to install Evox! I hope this doesn't fux0r my xbox up

[EmperorPsiblade]

dropping a screw on the contacts and booting, grounding the D0 to a ground instead of the Xenium's d0 point.. etc...

Some early 1.0 xboxes don't display error numbers  

[Gumba]

Sounds to me like your HD is simply unlocked... or something similar.

As i said previously, early 1.0 xboxes don't display error numbers, they just have a general "Needs service" screen.

The clock issue is not important once you have XOS2.0.1 installed

As far as I know, its virtually impossible to corrupt your TSOP without making a hardware modification to your xbox. Your eeprom is a different matter. But your eeprom is fine.

Seriously, you're probably just getting an error 5 or 6 or 13 or something, you should ignore the fact that you don't have an error number and start trying to fix your error. I'm betting its an unlocked HD.

[Dangerously_Cheesy]

Thank you guys so much. I will try locking the HDD via the xenium menu thx.

[Dangerously_Cheesy]

Ok, I tried locking my hard drive but it won't. Within the Xenium menu it says as soon as I press the button that locking had failed. Now I tried to boot into the msdash one more time after that and then the flubber animation wnt and then the Xbox splash screen afterwards just sat there for a good 20 seconds before displaying a service messege/red flashing of eject.

I didn't drop a screw on a contact...I chose the correct d0 point (it wouldnt be working if I hadn't right?) and so far all I get is this...
