Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: JDawg117 on February 08, 2007, 07:07:00 PM

I bought a Xenium Gold S.P. fully solderless modchip. I installed it: solderless adapter goes into LPC holes, spacer and screw go in, ground wire into the hole, all that stuff. I plugged in the chip and turned on the Xbox. The chip glowed red and the light on the front of the Xbox fragged. Any tips on what I should do to get the mod chip working?

this url should get you to the full install manual. take a look and see what I might have done wrong
I have a version 1.1 Xbox (yes, I removed the solder from the LPC holes)

If you are blocked from the first url, use this one. It is not the full guide, but you will be able to get in

If you have ever bought something from mod-chip.com, they gave you a password to access their install guides. If you have the password - use it. I just don't want to get in trouble with the site for giving out their passwords and stuff

first thing you need to do is check all the connections. even if your sure check them multiple times. it took me 6 or 7 times to get it right.

the solder should of stayed in there. it helps with the connections. now you might want to use the rivets that came with the chip. and only use the black base. the chip goes on the farthest 12 pins on the adapter. also make sure you havent burnt/lifted traces or pads when you removed the solder. check for solder splashes

you might want to get the iceguide (in my sig).

I used the rivets that were included. I accidentally put them in all the holes - not just the first 6 pairs. Was that bad?

Also, in the install guide on the website, it said remove the solder on the old Xbox versions.

Off subject - how do I get a signature with the picture and all at the bottom of my posts?

you can remove the solder it wont hurt anything but it was just best to leave it. but dont go and try to put it back in, just use the rivets. you might want to take those extra rivets out so they wont be lose inside the case.

check all the connections. even if your sure check them multiple times. it took me 6 or 7 times to get it right

click my controls at the top of screen. then at the left side click edit signature under personal profile. the pic will require you to make one (or have someone do it for you in the GFX forum) and to have it hosted on a photobucket or something similar so you can use it as a URL. and text is just like posting a reply.

I checked the connections many times. Can you think of anything else I may have done wrong?

About the sig - can I use an actual Photo or does it have to be a design sort of like yours?

also make sure you havent burnt/lifted traces or pads when you removed the solder. check for solder splashes

try a recovery from a disc.

you can use anything within the size limits and it has to be hosted on photobucket or something similar.

If I burnt the board, the xbox wouldn't work at all would it. I don't think I did because sometimes I still get the original bios. Also, The chip didn't come with any disc.

Post by: CJLee89 on February 09, 2007, 02:21:00 PM

i didnt say burnt the board i said check for burnt/lifted traces or pads. the xbox will still boot if that has happened it would just FRAG. which is what yours is doing.

the disc i am referring to is an iso disc you make from the recovery file.

The flash guide suggests using EVOX 8. Will this work for backing up my games? on this site, am I allowed to ask where to find that?

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: CJLee89 on February 09, 2007, 02:45:00 PM

i would use the X2 5035 bios. and use the xbins guide in my sig. thats all i can give you.

Do I need the HDD and DVD drive connected while flashing the mod chip?

I set the system clock like the flashing guide said and now I can't get teh Xenium screen

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: CJLee89 on February 09, 2007, 03:25:00 PM

yes you need them connected. you have to flash from the HDD.

read the iceguide in my sig and it will tell you how to do this.

power on by the eject button to see if it takes you to the XOS.

I downloaded a bios and put it on a flash drive. I plugged it into the Xbox with the USB adapter. I went to add new item under flash, all the drives showed up. I clicked and found the flash drive. All the files I had on there showed up on the list. But when I tried to copy the BIOS, it said "file will not fit" What should I do?

Title: Xenium Won't Work

what bios did you download?

Title: Xenium Won't Work

did you un-rar the .rar file the bios comes in?

I'm new - just joint a week ago, so I didn't realize this went to a second page (can you believe it?) I just figured that out now. Anyway, the bios I got was X2 5035. I also didn't know the file came in a .rar file. How do I "un-rar" it.

WinRAR

download the bios .rar file to your desktop. it should show up as an icon with like books binded together. double click and WinRAR will open up and show the contents of the .rar file. drag the x2_5035_vOld_512k on your computer and then onto the jump drive. and then proceed flashing as the iceguide instructs.

Post by: JDawg117 on February 12, 2007, 02:47:00 PM

I got the file. It didn't show up as a stack of books. i right clicked and hit add to archive. It then showed up as a stack of books. I found the file in there and it was no longer .rar. I copied it to the flash drive, then tried putting it on the xbox. It still said file won't fit. How big should this bios file be onthe computer. I heard a bios was about 256 Kb and I'm getting 32 Kb on disk under properties. it is also a .torrent file. Does that mean anything?

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: CJLee89 on February 12, 2007, 05:27:00 PM

there should be 2 .bin files and an .ini file. and some readme's. and no torrent file.

make sure WinRAR setting looks like this. integrate into shell.

delete the file you downloaded and download a fresh copy. it then should show up as books without you doing anything to it.

I am having serious trouble finding a good BIOS. All i can find are the torrent files. On this site, are you allowed to offer any suggestions on how to find it? Also, after I get the BIOS working, what additional software would I need to back up my Xbox games to the HDD?

i just downloaded it and there is no torrent files. you must be doing somehthing wrong. i cant tell you anymore other than you have to get it from xbins. make sure you integrate WinRAR into shell before downloading again.

use DVD2Xbox also found on xbins.

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: JDawg117 on February 13, 2007, 06:56:00 PM

I found the bios section on Xbins. The only ones listed were: Complex, Cromwell, Domination X, Enigmah X, Evolution X, OzXbios, Pandora, TEam- Assembly, Xecuter2, and Xtender. No X2 5035. No Xodus related bios at all. Am I A.) Blind. B.) In the wrong section. or C.)wrong site (it's Xbins.org isn't it?)

By the way, Emulators are the programs that let you play old NES & Atari games right?

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: CJLee89 on February 13, 2007, 07:06:00 PM

the bios doesnt have to be xodus related.

i cant help with anymore other than follow the xbins guide in my sig. sorry

lets get a bios flashed first. and worry about other things later.

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: JDawg117 on February 14, 2007, 06:25:00 PM

I found the X3 3294. It seemed like it might be a more advanced version of the X2 5035. I put it on my xbox and it works- well, sort of. I tried launching it and the Xbox just FRAGed. Is there something I can do to get the bios to work, or should I just try a different one. (Hey, I got about 2 or 3 dozen to choose from on xbins).

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: CJLee89 on February 14, 2007, 06:36:00 PM

the X3 will not work on the xenium. it will only work on the xecuter chips. you NEED the X2 5035.

i wish i could help you more but all i can say is search on xbins.

Title: Xenium Won't Work
Post by: CJLee89 on February 17, 2007, 12:20:00 PM

X2 5035 can be found in /XBOX/Console Based Applications/bios/Xecuter/xecuter2/MULTI_VERSION. navigate throught this in FlashFXP once in xbins.
