Now for the broken IDE cable i have in my xbox's hd, is there anyway I can get that out safely?
Same EXACT thing happened to me when installing my new HDD. I grabbed some pliers and VERY carefully took it out, and put in a new IDE cable.

I followed your instructions acemilo, and the xbox booted up perfectly without the mod chip installed, but when I put the chip back in, the xenium splash screen still said Loading...HALT!!!!!

I put the recovery switch back, lined up on top of the black area on the board. I booted it back up, and it still says Loading........HALT. With the eject led turned red.

i hate to inform you of this, but to my knowledge, the new sp ice solderless adapter cannot be used with version 1.4 or 1.5 boxs. if you read the fine print on some of these sites that sell mod chips, you will see they state this also. the new solderless adaptor is for version 1.6 boxes. you can still use the chip, but you will need to install using stright up soldering or the pin header method. the older adaptors will work on your box though, if thats what you have. i ran into this same problem, i had a v.1.5 box and had to buy a new one to get the solderless adaptor to work on it. now i got 2 boxs, 1 modded for backups and stuff, 1 unmodded for xbox live play with no hassles or worries of being banned.

Would it just be either to send my xbox to bmmods, the place where i ordered my chip, and have them install it? I wouldn't mind doing that, it seems less of a hassle to me, and I'd get my xbox modded guaranteed basically.

Also, I used the solderless adapter, which will work with my xbox version. In the description of the chip on the site and the store i bought it from, said the solderless adapter worked on v1.0 - v1.5. So I know the chip can work with my xbox. I'll just have a company install it for me if all else fails.

also, on the bottom of the solderless adapter, one of the pins bottom half is missing, its on the bottom part on the back of the solderless adapter. I don't know if that is causing my problems or no, but the bottom part of that pin was gone when i received my xenium s.p.ice package.

With the chip installed it goes into the Xenium Splash Screen, not the Xenium OS, it shows "Loading..." then "Loading...HALT!" and the eject led turns solid red.

How do I upgrade to the latest XOS2? I burned the iso's from the site onto a cd-rw, and I put it in my xbox, and nothing happens. It still brings up the "Loading...HALT!".

I did exactly what you said Rabid1, and nothing worked. I put the chip switch on recovery mode, not on the black part, and powered on the xbox. Pushed the eject button and put my dvd-r in there, with the 2.3.0 recovery bios, and some video files, and it still went to "Loading...HALT!". The eject led was green, then flashing orange, then solid red. Those colors were the case when I put the switch back to normal, not on recovery mode.
