I have flashed about 10 version 1.0, with 007 hack, and with the mech hack... all flawless.. im glad i kept my matrix chip, for when i didnt have a memory card, or did xbox to xbox ide cable switch with HD, to get the files on there.

TSOP flashing owns.......

with the V1.2 and later xbox versions it is almost too easy to do a tsop flash.

I have started using conductive silver paint to join the two points that need to be joined on the top side of the motherboard. You do not even need to remove the motherboard or unplug the dvd drive. Just lift up the dvd drive, dab a tiny spot of siver paint on each point. wait 5-10 mins for it to dry, flash it with the latest evox or raincoat and you are done.

I have found that evox sometimes has problems with the newer xbox versions. the latest raincoat worked for me in each case.

I have done about 8 tsop installs and 2 mod chip installs all of them successes.

Done about 15 Box with SplinterCell, MemoryCard and conductive paint. Flashed with Raincoat every versions with no problem.

I've removed the connections on the last ones for protections (took 2 minutes)

I scraped it off with a hot needle, razor, and "flossed" under the pins with a stand of wire. Other than that, all good. It seems like no one gives a f@ck about Xbox Live! anymore. I tell people, "If I do this, you can't use XBoxlive..." and no one even cares... Thats why I got a mod chip and I dont even use live anymore. hehe

First and only TSOP flash experience: Soldered the connections perfect on the first try. Flashed my 1.0 with the X2 4977 BFM cause I'm an impatient idiot.

Waiting to get up the money to get a chip and mod it properlike.

On a lighter note, the old Playstation 1 is getting some use again!

Post by: Tarobap on February 05, 2004, 03:56:00 AM

Flashed several now and if you don't want to go on live or have the ability to run multibios (without lots of effort), then a TSOP flash is SO the way to go. I mean why do you want to spend over $50 bux for a mod chip just to run one bios when you can just stick it on the main board. I don't understand.

Glad to see the reorganization of this forum . . . keep up the good work.

Flashed 5 X-Box'es so far with TSOP Flashing (Either 007 or Splinter Cell method). All 1.0's and 1.1's. No problems so far. Used the A19 to VCC/GND method for splitting the chip for X-Box LIVE! Usage.

man this Sooo easy !!
I use raincoat for all my TSOP's but I have had 1 ST chip that raincoat was not able to write? I used evox and it worked fine

Just read the tutorials and than read them again than you really cant mess it up, most mistakes come from people being in a darn hurry!! Really is it worth rushing?

Flashed over 20boxes 1.0-1.5 with or w/o winbond chips..

only used the top 2 points on 1.2-1.5, on 1.0-1.1 used one upper, one under..

using 007 raincoat 5.01 (from Xobex) for 1.2-1.5, 007 Evox for 1.0-1.1.

flashing Evox M7 on 1.2-1.5 and newest Xecuter (4981) on the 1.0-1.1

non of em have failed using this method.

altough 2 boxes have failed when i tried X4979 on two winbond 1.4-1.5 boxes (flash successful, but when power on frag)..,
and i had to solve some homebrew chip to be able to reflash the tsop's..
after i used M7 and they worked perfect!

the same X4979 from the same mem-card (that the 2boxes failed flashing on) worked on a 1.4 box with another chip (non winbond)..

so, be careful flashing X49xx to any winbond box.. if u not want a badflash!

happy tsopping mates

I don't flash commercially, I have only flashed for friends. I have done 11 xbox's so far covering all versions. Everything has gone fine with each. Lets be honest, its easy really, thanks to all the hard work of people round here and various other places. If you read up, nothing can go wrong!

As long as you use the latest bios, the only thing that can go wrong is using the wrong size. There is no real excuse for this either!

I've done over 20 TSOPs - 007 raincoat. I was only unable to do one. It was a 1.4 or 1.5. R7D10 was on the wrong side of the resistor or transistor or whatever the heck that tiny rectangular thing is - I've never seen it flip flopped like that

good odds i say

i believe TSOP flashing is the best method to chip XBOXs as once its working in there there is practically nothing that can go wrong, so lifetime warranty is easy to provide

QUOTE (delacruz @ Apr 6 2004, 02:40 PM)

unless the owner flashes the bios on there own

...which is where
(1) desoldering the jumpers to reprotect the BIOS,
(2) a warranty seal covering one of the screw holes, and
(3) ensuring ConfigMagic, etc. aren't on the system
come in handy!

At the very least, desoldering the jumpers is worth doing. Stops them twatting around and causing a FRAG. Give someone ConfigMagic and they'll chew up their EEPROM in seconds. Stuff like ConfigMagic is fairly hard to get hold of for most Xbox owners (who don't know about the existence of those elusive "Usual Places"), so giving them nothing they can kill the box with is well worth doing.

Title: TSOP Flashing Experience.
Post by: FlashKick on April 09, 2004, 01:06:00 PM

yup, i just flashed another tsop for a friend, and i left the jumpers unbridged.
in this case, i didn't even solder. all i did was strip a piece of wire, cut it in to a really small piece, bent it, then stuck it inbetween the two points to be bridged and went over it w/ electrical tape and voila!
now that i know how to solder the right way, it's a piece of cake, but nothing beats this. it is a hassle to get right though.

Post by: anu|b|iss on April 14, 2004, 04:35:00 AM

if you can use phoenix bios loader, you could always make the eurasia flash disc and a bios.bin disc and flash with that instead of the forementioned. But then again depending on what you want to do with your xbox, you may only need the PBL and that's it.

Personally I only flashed my TSOP to have as a "recovery" machine should anything go wrong with one of my softmods.

Forked 2 becouse the soldering i did was sloppy.

So instead of 2 bridges to solder i had to pull out the 29 wire.....

My last flash was on this exact Winbond. I used the Mech Eurasia flash pack, which comes with Raincoat 0.5. The readme stated this chip was supported (W49F020) and of course everything worked perfectly.

I assume there are chips Raincoat 0.5 doesn't support. However upon getting my hands on 0.7 I didn't know how to use the 2 files to upgrade Mech Eurasia. A little help?

QUOTE (Lubs @ May 20 2004, 07:41 PM)

i dont think the eurasia saves can be updated because of where it loads raincoat from

the main reason i say to use raincoat .7 is because it will resize a bios to fit a 1mb TSOP, and i believe eurasia will chack and not flash if the size is from, so its not so bad that it cant be updated

Just flashed my 1.4 box - easier than pie!

Winbond chip, there appeared to be some problems with it in this forum, but it worked great. I suppose those who had problems screwed up the soldering.

Took me ~2 minutes to solder, I don't know how anyone could screw that up, really easy. I have been soldering stuff most of my life though, so who knows.

Used Raincoat 0.7 in 007. One problem was my router runs on a 192.168.2.* net locally, so I had to reconfigure it and then set DHCP to assign 192.168.0.64 to the Xbox's MAC address.

Once I got the network connected, the flash went perfectly. I'm tempted to reflash to fancy up the boot a bit (I left it green, completely stock EvoX M7 bios with eject fix, didn't want to fuck it up) but it's probably better just to be safe and disconnect the points.

Title: TSOP Flashing Experience.
Post by: W1Gsplita on June 08, 2004, 05:42:00 AM

I just tryed my first flash. I have never used a soldering iron in my life. Bought the iron, practiced for a couple hours and then went at it. I think I screwed my xbox. I couldn't get the solder to bridge the 2 points. Its a 1.0, and I got the wire soldered on the back just fine. If your xbox will load evox from hard drive, but will not play games does that mean its screwed? Can a modchip fix this?

Post by: nprice on October 19, 2004, 01:30:00 PM

Flashed my Xbox 1.3 / Winbond W49F020 with Raincoat 0.7. Only trouble was actually getting the board soldered. I was using a soldering iron with a high wattage which made it difficult, I even managed to splash solder all over the area above the LPC. It wasn't hard to remove as I had desoldering braid on hand though. Went to radio shack and picked up a 15W iron, after that it was smooth sailing. It is highly recommended you get a 15W iron rather than to use that 35W you've got lying around. Don't attempt if you have no soldering experience.

When I get my digcam I should post pictures of what that 35W iron did to the top of the PCB. Looked like I had fried the board. Surprisingly the Xbox didn't FRAG and the traces were still intact.

Title: TSOP Flashing Experience.
Post by: masonshoemocker on October 26, 2004, 11:36:00 AM

The 15 watt iron from Radio Shack rocks. It's makes the TSOP job much easier. I've been through 5 TSOP mods with only 2 v1.0,1.1 which was mine and a friends. I soldered on TSOP enable/disable switches on all of them but only have a bios switch on two of them obviously. I've had no prior experience unless you count the screw job I did when I was a little bit younger trying to mod my PlayStation with a 30 or 40 watt iron I think. I didn't know shit! I just had solder and the iron that I found in my dad's toolbox and that was it. I wasn't even grounded and I didn't even use a anti-static mat. I just did it on top of my desk. That was a disaster. I learned from that experience that you must-have the right supplies in order to do any solder job correctly.

I just ordered a Weller 12 watt iron though recently because it had a .02 fine point. It set me back $40. I need it though because I'm going to attempt to mod my PS2 as soon as my iron and Matrix Infinity chip are sent to me. I heard the PS2 mod is dramatically harder.

Post by: ltoolio on November 04, 2004, 10:49:00 PM

Just did my first one tonight.

Have done many solderless installs and a few pin header installs.

Figured I would take the plunge into TSOP.

The hardest part for me was getting a locked HDD to boot to the original M$ Dash. Once I got that running, next hardest part was getting the Mech exploit over.

Other than that, very easy. Soldering was easy....I'll definately do this again.

Like most things here on XBS, just follow the tuts to a T....if you do your research and take your time, you will do fine....

Title: TSOP Flashing Experience.
Post by: neon on November 02, 2002, 11:44:00 PM

I've removed, reprogrammed and resoldered about 50 TSOP's without any problems.

Also done a few multiBIOS mods....they work nicely but care needs to be taken reflashing the chip once fitted (i.e. making sure that the state of the chip is correctly set) else the TSOP dies...

The LPC cheapmod is now flash updateable via the EvolutionX software so I don't do the TSOP's any more...probably start doing them again for the v1.1 consoles if 256Kb BIOS's aren't made available (but they would have to be a multiBIOS setup to gain access to an image > 256Kb)...

I had no problem with my messiah x, except I could'nt get a switch to work, so I cut all the wires after I booted to EvoX one at a time starting with A... that went flawless. I heard that making the two switches to A and C and creating to long of wires can cause problems, maybe that was why it wouldnt work...

well i guess this thread kills the belief of the modchip fans that 9 out of 10 TSOPers fuck it up, lol

just a note, i personally have nothing against modchips and when the x3 comes out i will be definately be getting one, i just feel that TSOP is a very cost effecient alternative to a modchip for people who are as broke as i was before i started TSOP modding for people, lol

done about 40, all versions, had to "repair" one, cuz I was lazy and accidentally flashed a 256k to a 1MB TSOP.

Anyone who has screwed up a xbox by doing a tsop flash shouldnt even be trying it, its so freggin simple.

I agree. I've done a tsop flash on 13 boxes and haven't had any problems.

I have a simple switch (A19 to ground) to split the BIOS area in two and made the mistake of flashing two copies of 4977 on one half with retail in the other and naturally it didn't work as both are visible but too different.

Reflashed it and everything is fine. I know forcing A19 to Vcc or ground solves this but I couldn't be bothered...

Flashing the TSOP is easy *IF* you know what you are doing, and bloody dangerous if you don't.

Done over 50 myself, screwed up 3-5 times and have always been able to fix with the help on these forums and the main site.

I've done about 100 TSOP flashes now, never any problem (not even a "flash not writable" or manufacturer=0x09, device=0x00 error).

As long as your soldering of the jumper points is OK (use a strand of 0.1mm² wire if the solder refuses to bridge the gap) and you don't go flashing 1.4/1.5 machines with a BIOS other than EvoX M7, things should work out OK.

I found out the hard way

After about 25 tsop's I learnt what a BFM tsop meant...

BLOODY FUCKED MOBO

fixed with my own homebrew 0 fun but learnt a lot more after many headaches !!!!

good fun this modding but would be nice if Billy Boy Gates could leave them tsop points bridged already - save opening up the xbrick just to join a few dots

fanx n greets to all the guru's who helped this trainee newbie

I have only done 3 xboxes (most people around here are ps2 whores) but the 3 i did do, all were successful. The first one was a matrix tsop. Second and third ones were via 007.

all were 1.0 xboxes.

3 fuckups!

1 tried to reflash with original bios, which didnt worked out, guess wrong bios(soldered a lpc chip in and didnt try to fix the tsop)
2 1.5 xbox tried to flash it with x2 4977 (by mistake) i knew about the M7 bios (still dead, trying to get a lpc 2.0 chip)
3 1.5 xbox flashed it with 4977 again by mistake, this was so stupid and dumb that i feel so bad about it

(still dead, trying to get a lpc 2.0 chip)

you may need to rephrase that, booting fromt eh HD is what the xbox always does where there is no game in the dvd drive (when it loads the dashboard)

OK just to add my tuppence worth.
Have flashed 153 and Recovered 47 from a buggered up flash (usually user error!!) No DOA's.
Only 1 - the 1st one mine - has ever had a modchip in, and that lasted exatctly 2 days before it was resigned and the TSOP was flashed. NOw it does have a lease of life in the TSOP recover area, so I am glad I hung onto it.
I think the TSOP way is neater, cleaner and less time consuming that modchips. Also it is less prone to shock or vibration in it's standard - all be it flashed form, No Mod to work loose, and if you Read The F*cking Manuals - AKA Readmes - in the files you will not go wrong.
Regards,
Si
