. Anyways, he did a TSOP flash on mine and it works like a charm. What else does he do...actually, what can't he do? He's Super-Fred aka Robochicken. Still have no idea where the f*ck he got that name from. For real though. He knows his shit.
Skewing into a different tangent...
Don't ever, EVER, Ever, ever choose Partition 6 takes the rest of the drive and "Ignore partition table". I reflashed my BIOS (M7) and chose those options...
1. It started to frag...Error 13
2. If it did boot, Evox was fucked...well, it forgot the settings like the evox.ini file got corrupted.
3. Before I fixed it, (reflashed using Slayer's), I FTP'd into the Xbox and looked at the contents in C: and everything was deleted. Kind of shit is that?!
Note:
I really started noticing this when I uploaded Ninja Gaiden too...

Do me a favor and check out the post I made under "No boot" under the newbie topics. I fubar'd an Xbox I think...shit I'll just put it in here.
Okay this is the scenario...
My boy wanted me to go ahead and TSOP flash his 1.0 with an ST chipset on it. Anyways, I solder the points...boot it up and here's the sequence it goes through. It boots, turns off, back on, turns off and then alternately goes Orange to Red with no video. Tried to just boot off the DVD drive with a game and still no go. Don't know what heezy I did. So I took it apart again and removed all the solder points and still no go. Does the same thing.
Just wondering if you ever read a post on something like this or have come across this problem. If ANYONE has run across this problem, please PM me or add a reply to this topic. Thanks.

I'm actually having fun doing this. Plus I've learned so much from the scene and from my customers I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you right back
Post by: sdpnoy on April 19, 2004, 08:19:00 AM
I didn't realize that my 1.0 had an ST chip on it. Anyways, I've been TSOP'n 4 Xbox's every other day. Being busy is to say the least. Anyways, since you're thanking your customers, I think it's time to give credit where credit is due.
Fred will not hesitate to show you what's up. He basically knows the 'In's' and 'Out's' of the XBox. When I had problems with TSOP'n certain XBox's, he would always help me out. He would be the first and last person that I would turn to for assistance. I've known Fred for quite some time now and that's the type of person he is...always helpful. Again, thanks for the help Fred...I owe you a hug...okay that was gay. Okay more like a beer. Okay you can't drink alcohol...umm I'll give you a high five. How's that?

| About that 1.0 you got there- did you try following that tut and try booting the first 256k of the TSOP? Let me know if you have probs and I'll hop the fence and we'll work on it |
I haven't tried it. Kinda gave up on it last night since I had 3 other box's I had to flash. That particular box has been giving me problems. If push comes to shove, I might have to just but the Halo Edition XBox and give that dude my old one. We'll see what's up. But I will try that first to see what happens. Hopefully it will work.
History on that box:
-v1.0/ST chipset
So yah I spilled solder on the legs of one of the chips a while back. Desoldered and I was good to go. Desoldering braid is one of the bets things ever made. AUF007, flashed with M7ef and it booted it up properly. Evevn loaded Slayer's on the retail HDD. Time passes on and the guy FINALLY gave me the money for the HDD and being the nice guy that I am, I went ahead and bought a 120gb HDD for him yesterday. Installed it, loaded Slayer's, FTP'd and put my evox.ini file and +3935. So I tried to FTP from Xbox to XBox to load my back up games
on his XBox. It had a hard time just creating the folders. Decided to reflash the BIOS. Loaded M7 and as SOON as I pressed 'Y' to flash, the bitch just turned off, wanted to restart and it did a 3 reboot cycle. Got the Red-Green Alternating. So that's my worse story ever on TSOP'n an XBox.Tonight:
I'm going to try and do this: So You Screwed Up Your XBox and see what happens. Like I mentioned above, if this doesn't work, it looks like I'm running down to Fry's and picking up a Halo Edition XBox for myself.
Anyways, wish me luck. I have all this time at work that's why I'm posting this. Whoever's reading this might have a lot of time on their hands also.
Robochicken:
Whenever YOU get slammed, let me know. I'll do the same but I don't do as many boxes as you do.
Thanks for the props on TSOP'n by the way. Learned from the best.
Post by: sdpnoy on April 21, 2004, 11:06:00 AM
The shit didn't work. Robochicken helped me out...basically did all of it and it looks like the TSOP is fubar'd.
Anyways, I picked up a LE Halo XBox today. Hopefully it will have a Sammy, if not, I'll just take it out of my other XBox. Planning on flashing it today. I know this doesn't belong on here but FUCK. I'm bored at work.

Hey Bro...
We still gotta get the Cathode tubes in there to light the bad boy up. I'm going to try and make it out to CompUSA today to see if they have it. Am I looking for the tube or just the cathode fan? I got confused. ou did mention that we were going to place it on top of the DVD drive. Just call me up or I'll check on this again.

You pretty much always find the cathodes already screwed into a fan. The CompUSA close to us stocks Antec and they had some greens last I checked. We want to secure it to your cd/hdd because we don't want any adhesive or tape showing from the top of your case since it's see through. It could just sit there fine without anything holding it in place since the lip will hold it down but it will be tricky to align unless we do. Also your case won't need to be deremeled since it's transparent.

Yah I'm gonna have to pick it up on the way home from work one day. So I'm assuming that we'll just attach about 2/3's of it to the DVD Case? Kinda confused but I think I understand what you're talking about.

I had a spare CC lying around and i put it in. The reason why I took it out of my other XBox is because my box would error out. Either get Error 13 or 21 at boot. Just wondering where you put your inverter. I think that's what's causing it to error out. It's near the IDE cable so i think it's jumping over or something. Obviously the box doesn't like the CC in there.

For the bad TSOP I think you'll need to do a 29-wire mod to fix that. Not too sure- check the TSOP forums for tips.

I made it to the room where they were holding the Halo 2 playable demo (No body seemed to realize which door they were in). There were about 8 Xboxs in this one small room. No one was in there yet except for a few Bunjie employees. All boxs were at a screen waiting for the multiplayer game to start. I asked if I could test it out but they wouldn't let me because it was press/invite only.Oh well, hopefully they'll open things up to the public on day 2 or day 3.

Hey sorry for the bump. What the hell do "bumps" do anyway?
As for my work, there's always openings. Just don't get paid as well as you do Fred. Are you getting laid off?
Thanks for the props on the wedding. I have to show you pics and stuff.

I'm using Xbox Media Center as my dash. I was playing around with it all night last night. It's pretty tight. It actually has the Weather Channel? WTF |

Hey Tommy you're using XBMC too? How do you like it? I like it a lot. Too bad you can't really specify certain menu's. Maybe you can and I'm just retarded. You should get broadband just for the Weather Channel. I was trippin the hell out when I saw it. haha

I live past Alpine, no cable or DSL. The XBMC is pretty cool I went to the Padres games the past two days and Fred jsut set it up on Monday so I haven't had much time to play with it, hopefully tonight.... Time to go to a meeting at work. Peace.

Yup...actually you can find it in the Slayer's install disc. TSOP D.6...(piece of shit BIOS)
I talked to Lordvader and he said that flashing the TSOP while you boot off the chip and disabling it won't work. I guess it looks for the lace, whatever that means, and so doing the 007 hack will try to find the chip. But you know what? I'm gonna try it anyways.

Actually this isn't a piece of shit BIOS. Apparently if you have the BIOS in your modchip, you can trick the XBox to think that it booted of the TSOP. Something I want to try Fred.

Make sure you're not using the cross-over cable for anything now that a router is in the mix. Should just be regular cables this time. PM me a link of what the logo looks like and I'll experiment with it (I have an spare case i'm not doing anything with). If it turns out good we'll carve out yours.

first of all my xbox just had this problem just recently for some reason it wont turn off i would always have to unplug it from the back. when i plug it back in it just comes on... (thats the problem) and i cant turn it off...
second i want to mod my xbox.... i heard of this TSOP flashing it and you dont need a modchip and it works and copy games straight to the harddrive of the xbox well i have a 120gb laying around and i want to put that on the xbox and i see your price is only $10 which is fine with me... so basically im asking you if i need a modchip or not so i can buy it... or does that whole TSOP flash thing do the trick...anyways..
i heard this program called dvd2xbox and you can just make a "back-up copy of the games and transfer the files to the hardrive" which i want to do...
so i live in the rancho cucamonga area 909...probably and hopefully about an hour away from San diego.
im willing to drive there i think.....unless the guy from orange county "smokeingit" replies to my emails but he seems like he has his hands full...

Sounds like you might have a short or bad PSU. Could be something simple where the powerbutton isn't functioning right. But you did mention that it will turn on once you plug it in. If you decide to have Fred do it, he'll probably check it out for you and determine what it could possibly be.
Just in case there IS something wrong with the hardware, check on Llamma. They have a lot of XBox parts.
Going on what Tommy said, a modchip just bypasses the TSOP. Doing a TSOP flash erases the onboard BIOS and flashes it with another one.
Post by: sdpnoy on June 11, 2004, 08:56:00 AM
You really can't go wrong with either one. I myself prefer the TSOP Flash method...that's because I'm a cheap bastard.

You have a 1.0 or 1.1
New 1.0-1.1 mobo from llamma.com is $66
Funny thing - I just got a broken xbox today with the same problem you are having. I read somewhere that you have to replace the R3G5 or R3G3 resistor (I'll look into it further for you). I tried replacing the 22uF25V capacitor in that general area for kicks but it didn't help. I also tried swapping the PSU and eject assembly out and it didn't help either. As far as replacing those resistors, they're really tiny and I don't think my 15w radio shack soldering iron is going to cut it.
Regarding the TSOP flash and hard drive upgrade- it's still doable since your box still powers on.

I was just reading that you can replace the PIC chip on an Xbox having these problems and it may fix the problem. I have a dead Xbox where I can get the chip from - I'm going to desolder the PIC chip and put it in the problematic box and see what happens.

I'm not sure where Chino is - PMing you my address. You don't need a modchip if you have an older Xbox. We can just TSOP flash it with a split BIOS and install a switch (still XBox Live! capable). Total cost to you is $40

You can go with 80mm fan mod or 12v fan mod
12v won't cost you a thing (just $10).
80mm: You can get a LED fan and light it up. Let me know what color you want. FAN+Install = $35

TSOP w/switch (you provide drive) = $40
TSOP w/switch + 120GB = $140
TSOP w/switch + 160GB = $160
200GB and above I'd probably have to get at retail price. Let me know if you go for 200 or 250GB and I'll shop around for a good price or you can provide your own. Length of the mod depends on alot of things - can take anywhere from 30min to overnight depending on what you want done hardware and software wise - give me a ring

CompUSA in Fletcher parkway has Red LED fans. Check there first - one guy drove all around San Diego and finally found reds there. Or I can just get it for you. If your having issues with it locking up at random spots after a certain period of time its probably the heat. If it locks up in the same place each time it's probably something with the game itself.

I have the same problem when I'm in a hurry- the plastic melts. I would cut slowly at the edges and try not to push on it too hard. But depends on what tool you're using. When using the drill bit or something like it's hard to keep it from melting. Just don't get frustrated and go psycho on the case man I don't think I can repair it

Highly reccomended and worth the drive. A+, 100% quality, extremely impressive. Help contribute to his insomnia and send him your Xbox!

Told him about a problem that my brother's xbox was having. The original xbox dashboard keeps rebooting after HDD upgrade with Xenium Ice. Fred was kind enough to tell me to bring it in when I picked up my Xbox. Is anyone else having this problem? Do you think updating the bios on the Xenium would help?

lilaznfruitz You'll get everything back down to the last screw and case feet intact. All Xboxs and hard drives are tracked w/ receipt and serial so no mixing up possible. Still a good idea to mark your parts no matter what. Same goes for installers since they can get conned as well.

Try this:
- Lock the drive
- Detach the chip
- Boot stock and set your Time and Date
- Reconnect the chip
Also, who did the installation on this ICE and what's the date on the back of the Xbox?

Fred,
I think I'll have him bring it in when I come pick mine up. Sounds like a lot of work. My cousin modded it for him. It was working ok (with LIVE and everything) before he upgraded the HDD.
I'm not sure what the date is but I'll have him bring it in. Thanks.

Nope, your account is still active - only your Xbox has been banned. Actually, you if you check the b/s/t thread you can get an unbanned eeprom for $8 from Zodiiak.

Thanks for the reply Fred...but like my current relationships i'am gonna keep shit seperate from now on (stock Xbox for XBL and the modded one for uh, other things

It seems situations can vary. Keep updated with the following thread.
MS may be doing at least one or all of the following and are keeping their methods staggered and random to confuse people:
- LPC scanning
- Flagging gamertags
- Hdd profile (brand, contents, etc.)
People are reporting they are still getting banned even though you've swapped out the eeprom. (I have two customers right now that I am ordering new eeproms and the Xtender hard drive switcher to test this - I'll update all on how this goes)
It seems it's still up in the air and the safest way to get on live at the moment is to get a new virgin unmodded Xbox strictly for live. Here's an interesting read from X-S frontpage also

What up Jer! I'm only stocked for installs right now but can sell you one or two when you come down. I have no programmers for sale - just purchase from mods4less.com and have it sent to your house. They've got great prices too on Xecuters, low cost and fast shipping too.
Let me know when you're down and I'll show you how to do a proper wire LPC rebuild. Stay away from the LPC rebuild PCBs that are coming out cause if you make a mistake it'll be a somewhat difficult to remove if you have to redo your LPC for any reason.

Post by: RoboChicken on December 22, 2004, 12:20:00 AM
Shawn - about your question. Looks like you were trying to change the boot order so you reflashed? EvolutionX M8 Plus 1.6 is the correct bios so your good on that. I've never used Xflash only X2BM and EvoX. If you need the flash code for Evox let me know. Also I always flash an entire 1MB. If I need to customize the bios or make a multi boot bios I first make a 2 256k bios and customize them the way I like using (in your case) EvTool. Once I've created the bioses I put them into X2BM (Xecuter 2 BIOS Manager). Inserting your first 256k bios into X2BM will automatically replicated it into bank1 and bank2 making it 512k.
Once you load your 2nd bios into bank3 it will automatically replicate into bank 4 making the other 512k for a total of 1MB. After you save your new customized multi-boot bios you can just flash it with EvoX. Just make sure the dashboard you will use exclusively is on bank2 and leave the switch on bank2. I'm not sure if all 1.6s have to be like this or if it's the bios itself or even if using your bank1 bios will actually cause problems on a 1.6.
EDIT: another thing to be careful of - unless you specified otherwise, the original BIOS i flashed to your chip had partition 6 and 7 (G drive support) enabled. If you relfashed with Fonly (partition 6 takes all). You will experience problems since the partitioning is different. This can be changed in EvTool also.

I tried upgrading my dashboard version and dvd burner software on the XBOX (Vers. 1 with TSOP Flash) and now the emulators are n't listed and the there are 2 copies of everything in the applications. My XBOX clock also is incorrect. ANy help would be appreciated. Oh and do you still have my 40 GIG HD drive that I asked to see if you could fix it (missing pin on the back) I forgot to pick it up?
Thanks,
John

Fred, you are awesome. Let us know when your dremel is fixed, because I'd like to get a jewel mod and eject mod done in the future.
Thanks,

Great service, great follow-up, knows Xbox ... HIGHLY RECOMMEND
I tried to modify my Xbox by myself ... after 5 frustrating hours, 3 lifted traces (pulled wires off the motherboard) and a broken Xbox, I found Fred ... what a waste of my time to even try to do this myself.
Fred knew right away what was going on, he fixed my Xbox and because I liked his service so much, I ended up selling my old Xbox, bought a new one and had him modify that one too ... he also had great insights into what software is available and where to find stuff.
For what you get, his service is a steal and way worth the money ... NOT worth breaking your Xbox.

Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here but the way it's partioned is that majority of the data is going to be stored on F: and some on G:. Not sure why you would want the games on E: since most of the apps are made to see games on F: and G: by design unless Fred did some funky ass configuration which I doubt.

It's hard to tell unless I can see your Xbox. There are many things that come into play:
- What dashboard you're using
- If you've configured it right
- What backup tool your using
- If you've configured that right
- What bios you're using
- How the drive was formatted
- How you copied the hard drive
- What bios your cousin was using
- How he formatted his drive
It's possible you successfully copied his drive but his bios is Fonly and your bios is F and G. That would cause you to see an F: drive but not see any games on it. So if this is the case you need to just transfer the files manually or you need to flash an F only bios to your ICE chip. But then again I can't really say 100% unless you bring me the box.

Hey I hit you up on your Site, but just found this post here while looking for some modders here in Diego. Can you pull a firmware chip off of one drive that was burnt
and put it on another to get the info and then flash that to another drive so I can use my 360?
oh and my Original 360 that I got on Launch day finally got the RROD. 3 rings. The bottom right one doesn't light up. Now the 360 would just randomly boot up when i turn it on here and there. Just my luck, 2 360's out in one day... f man not my day to be getting back into the scene.......

sdmods does good work, ive referred friends and family to him, and have TONS of friends that have done business with him as well. He also guarantees his work which is nice. He also takes some time out of his day to answer my newbie questions which is cool too.
Speaking of i have a few more, i posted on ur forums too...
What are the main, beneficial differences between ixtreme 1.51 and 1.6??
i know 1.6 is coming soon and im wondering if i should just wait???
Thanks again Fred

I live in the San Deigo area, and was looking for someone to flash my box locally, and I came across sdmods after some research. It was a bit of a drive for me, but it has been well worth it. I've had two Hitachi's flashed at sdmods in the last 3 months, and both experiences in the shop have been great, both taking less that 15 minutes each. Even though it took only 10-15 minutes, it was done with care to not damage the case or any internal parts of the console. And he makes sure that every console is tested before you walk out. With the release of 1.51, I was wondering how much it would cost to update my two Hitachi's up from 1.4, and I found out it is going to be free, which is unheard of. I have referred 3 of my friends to sdmods, and they have all had no problems whatsoever. Great service, done professionally the first time, I recommend to everyone who needs a console flashed in the San Diego area, and I will definitely be doing business again.

From start to finish, this guy makes you feel comfortable to ask any questions about anything. He's a xbox sage! This guy is fast and takes roughly 5 min. to do the service. And accurate as well: since I haven't had any problems with my xbox. Thanks a lot for the incredible service, I hope I go back there soon to get the latest modifications!

I've gone to sdmods several times over the last few years for a few different system modifications and I have always been very satisfied with the work. I've taken my systems to other random modders before, and now I only bring my stuff to sdmods. My xbox 360 modification was done in a few minutes and I haven't had a single problem with it since. After seeing the work that they did on my friend's original xbox, I just bought one and will be taking it there today to have it modded.

Best out there in 360 modding and repair, I actually live in Riverside, so I had my brother pick it up and bring it down to SD Mods because he told me they know they are quick and know their stuff and I wanted it to get modded by someone who has a lot of rep and experience and SD Mods has all of that. Get your mod done here and no where else!

Hello all, I just wanted to say how awesome SDmods is and how wonderful Fred is to his customers. I have been going to him since the xbox 360 came out and he has done an excellent job of taking care of my needs. I first came to him looking to mod my 360 and was pleasantly surprised at how fast and efficient he is in getting this done.
Not only that, but he has saved my xbox's life by repairing my problems with the dreaded Red Ring of Death issues I had and I am very grateful for his kind service he has provided and continues to provide.

If anyone is looking for local repairs or mod for your system, SDMODS is the why to go. I had a 360 crap out on me with RROD, a few weeks back and it lasted about one week before it RROD again. Fred tried his best and was honest with me and told me my system couldnt be fixed. Anyhow Fred gave me the money back for the repair and said I was better off with buying a new 360 which dont have RROD issues anymore. I've told my buddies at work about your great service, I'm sure they'll be stopping by soon.

I am soooo glad a coworker referred me to SDMods. Getting my 360 modded there was as painless as it gets. It couldnt be any easier. Ever since getting my mod, Ive refferred about 3 other people and theyve each have had similar experiences as myself. I cant say enuff about SDMods. Awesome place!

It's a real mountain of work, but it feels great to give back to San Diego! I look forward to seeing more familiar faces and new ones too!

Well thing is I dont have a mod chip or PS2 yet heh. My old mod PS2 died out on me or isn't spinning discs anymore. You dont happen to do PS2 repairs? If I was to provide a PS2 would you happen to have any mod chips on you? If not then I wouldn't know which mod chip to buy in the first place.

Get another FAT, they have HDD bays. Don't get a v12 slim as they have laser issues (you could get a laserfix PCB but I've seen those fail). v13 up to v16a slims are doable, past that I don't think those can be chipped for even memcard modded.
If you don't mind patching your ISOs before you burn them, and you don't care about PS1, just get a memcard mod from me for $20. Save yourself the installation and chip charge. Plus you can easily launch ELFs with the memcard mod like HDLoader and SMS media player, and tons of emulators, straight from a USB stick.
If you're set on a chip, get a Crystal Chip and FAT PS2. Don't get v1, v2, or v3 FATs. v4-v11 fats are perfect.

If it was this most recent Sunday then you already have v1.51. Sure come by and we'll update that other one. v1.6 is already out for 79 hitachis I'm suprised they haven't announced it yet - but not for the other drives. All that does is allow you to connect your 360 drive up to your PC to rip games (alternative to SHD162C PC drive). Plus you have to crack your 360 open to do it. Beyond that, same as v1.51 I believe.
Me and my buddy bobby are excited about the upgrade. Well be in today to get it done.
Exited is good enough
We'll see you today!

I do want to play both PS1 and PS2 games on the PS2 so I think I'll go with getting a fat PS2 with the mod chip you recommended. You dont happen to have any already modded PS2's on you? I would rather just buy a fully modded PS2 to get it over with. How much would the whole job go for getting the mod chip installed? Thanks.

50 for install. Just bring in Crystal Chip and v4-v11 FAT PS2 and I'll take care of it for you. Sorry no pre-mods

Fred is a great guy and is always busy. Have gotten PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Wii and now the 360 all worked on. The best thing is that he doesn't charge for upgrades for apps for the Xbox. The surrounding area may seem intimidating at night but it's safe I can safely say that Fred is THE SOURCE for your modding needs in the SD area.

Sdmods is the real deal. I took three 360s to him back in april (all at one time) and I was in and out...20 minutes tops. Unbelievable service, fast turnaround, and a very personable guy. Don't believe me...I drove all the way from LA to get the work done, and I would do it again in a heartbeat! (Actually, I need to...got to get 1.6!) I might just make the trip this week! I have referred him to many friends, and they would all say the same thing. If you're in the SD area...go to Sdmods. If you don't mind a road trip...go to Sdmods! You won't be sorry.

Been going to Fred for my 360 mods for the past year and dang he is good!... I was just there this morning getting my 1.61 update from him. My buddies and I have had our boxes flashed from him ever since 1.5 has been around have have gone back to him since, to get our flash updates. He is really quick with fast turnaround times and is a very nice guy who is alway willing to give advice and info.
...I definitely (and do) recommend Fred (SDMODS) to anyone is San Diego for their console mods. I will be going again tomorrow with two other buddies to get their 1.61 updates with Fred.... and once again when 1.7 comes out!

Oh I've got drama similar to yours now:
A computer shop moved into our old location (206 Van Houten) called SDCS computer repair. He seemed like a nice enough guy except until he started telling customers that I went out of business and that they can take care of their Xbox needs. Be wary of doing business with someone who lies like this. Remember our new location is 415 West Douglas.

Forums got jacked up so posting my feedback from there on this thread.
Xbox 360 Mod: Thanks to the people at SDMODS for a great job installing the lastest version of iXtreme on my Xbox 360. Fast survice and very helpful. -john619
Wii Mod: Thank you sooo much SDMODS for my Wii modification. I know it was a pain in the ass to fix my Wii but thank you soo much for staying for an additional hour! I will definitely refer you guys to all my friends who wants to get their consoles modded. Thank you once again, and I'm sure I'll be in touch with you guys in the future. YOU GUYS ROCK! A+++ Customer Service and Satisfaction! P.S. DON'T PLAY MARIO KART WII (PAL VERSION) -s1kang
Xbox 360 satisfaction: Fred took care of my xbox quickly and it works perfectly, thanks Fred! -d-sea
360 firmware upgrades: Fred does them super fast and for a good price imo, at least for those of us without the inclination to figure out how to do it ourselves. -Lennie40
Great Service Great Price: I went there last time to had a softmod for my 360 it was really fast. Dont listen to them about the 15mins wait. I was there for less than 10 mins and it was done, lol. SDMODS has the best price and great service, thank you very much. -vincezero
Firmware Upgrade: I stopped by SDMods to have the firmware on my xbox updated to the latest version today. Service was great (like everyone always says.) There were quite a few people in line ahead of me (which shows how popular and trusted they are) but Fred was finishing the machines nice and quickly so I didn't mind waiting. In addition, he helpfully informed another (repair) customer that their Xbox was still under Microsoft warranty and gave them step-by-step directions on how to get it repaired through them for free when he could have just accepted the machine and their money. SDMods is the place to go in SD. -wic
yo, SDMODS ROCK!: SDMODS IS THE PLACE TO GO NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!... THANKS SDMODS.. -dc_norberte
Definition of Greatness= SDMODS: I came in a few months back to mod my 360. The service was incredibly fast, the 360 worked better than expected, and they also managed to dust off all the junk that collected in the 360 from use over time thus preventing any future headaces from RROD problems. I also learned a lot in the process as they are very customer-friendly... They were both willing and knowledgable in discussing any technical questions that I had. I will definitely be coming back for all my video game console needs! -Avi
SD Mods - Made My Gaming Life Awesome!: Thank You SD Mods for the great service and technical help. Although you are always so very busy you find time to answer all my noob questions and you have always done a great job working on my equipment.

So helpful: Fred has done so much for me. First got my Wii modded here then when I tried to put a new chip in for myself I completely messed up my wii and he fixed it for me and put the new chip for no additional price. He has also modded my Xbox 360, One Friday I went down with a group of friends to get our psp modded and I had a bad model. So the next day on a closed night he came in to mod my psp for me. Very friendly and so helpful, I don't know what I would do without Fred in the area. Thanks for all the help. -kotech
Great Wii and RROD work: Nothing but top quality service! I have had 2 wii's modded (soldered 9 wires), 2 RROD fixes. All work perfectly!

#1 In My Books: I went in late on a Sunday, Fred stayed late and modded 2 360's for me that have both worked flawlessly. On top of that, while modding he shared a lot of his knowledge with me.

Comments: Back in September I went to SDMODS to get a Xbox 360 modded. Fred did a fantastic job, quick turnaround. I've recommended him to all my friends and family and have actually had some of my cousins come in to get 360's modded from him. If I ever had something in need of a mod I will definitely go to Fred. -Laini
Quality assurance..., Service review:
I continue to be a repeat customer of SDMODS...
Fred knows what he's doing, cares about his products/services, and is simply a cool guy in general.
I've taken a few 360s into SDMODS so far. 2 for modding, 1 for the E74 error, and 1 for everyone's favorite: the mighty red rings.
All issues have been taken care of the first time around with no backlash.
SDMODS recommended? Absolutely!
Thank you. -Therapy4pain
best in the biz, xbox 360 mod: great customer service great turn around time awesome xbox arcade system in the shop -ceasar619

He fixed it up on his day off and got it working just in time for my sons 6th birthday.
Now my son can enjoy some Mario Kart Wii when he wakes up tomorrow.
I can't thank you enough! -casten
Thanks for the awesome service Fred!: So I went in to get my 360 modded a few weeks ago. Worked great then i started having minor issues with games not loading up properly. I got on the horn with Fred today and he advice me to drop in, so I went ahead and took my console as well as a few games in with me. He checked it out. Explained to me the problem and updated my console. All in the same day!
Thanks Fred! i'll for sure send as many peeps your way as i know. And if anybody has any doubts i assure you this guy knows his stuff! Don't hesitate. -sharky

By the time you read this...: My 360 should be fixed.. yea, Fred is that good -gogenry
Great service!: I'm glad I found a place in SD that does this kinda stuff! I got my slim PS2 and My 360 modded, both with great results and probably took less than 20 minutes combined to mod. Gonna take my Wii in today to get the WiiKey put in! Thanks again SDMods! -Axess120

Best in class service!!!: I had my xbox 360 flashed about a month ago and i have not had one issue to complain about. Fred knows his stuff. He's not the typical "nerd" i thought he would be. when he was hooking my xbox 360 he was very social and totally exceeded my expectations. I have recommened everyone i know with a 360 to hit up SDMods. -MannyG
Great Service: Thank you for modding my 360.............works 100% -djclubber
Best Mod Service in SD: At SD Mods I was able to get my 360 modded in less than 10 minutes. It was quick, easy, and my warranty was NOT voided during the process. He answered all the questions I had while I was playing on his Quasimoto 360 Arcade Machine Anyone who wants to get his/her 360 modded should go to Fred. He also mods the original Xbox, PS2s, PSPs, and Wiis. Also don't worry, he doesn't sell backups so that he will be here for a long time. His prices are fair so no one should complain since it costs less that the price of one retail game. So go on, call up Fred and get your console modded today! -Novis619
SDMods went and did it again!: To Fred and all reading - Another satisfied customer! Fred had me in and out in 5 minutes. He's got this down to a science! The man knows his stuff. The customer service was awesome and let me tell you, he loves what he does. I recommend this place, and you know what? All of my friends do too....check him out! -Thomas K AKA Evilheroics

Highly recommend SDMODS!: I highly recommend these guys. They do exceptional work. They are very knowledgeable and they even kept my kids entertained while I waited for them to complete my service.

Fred is the SHIZNIT: Fred did a good job, showed me how to use everything on my xbox, very cool guy. Recommending to friends for sure. Thank you Fred. -glen619
Excellent install! (modchip + HD upgrade): Thanks for the install, I absolutely love my new xbox. He installed an Xecuter 2.6, upgraded the HD and installed Emulators for all the old game systems. He let me watch while he did all the work and responded to my email questions. If I ever need more work done I'll definitely be back. Thanks again! -ryan (generalrydo1)
sdmods: Cool dude, very helpful fast service even took the time to show me how to do everything definetly worth it 8) -reppd
Fred Thx: The Error 05 was simply my ICE chip accidently booting to the xbox bios. Starting the xbox with the eject button and changing it back worked. -topwop
SDMODS is the greatest: Fred totally took care of 2 of my xboxes. One he fixed the motherboard that had a bad chip install and the other he did a tsop flash. He is highly recommended I would take any of my repairs there. -aquajock98
Great job by Fred: Just wanted to leave some feedback for Fred. He did a great job repairing a not-so great job that I had done about five months ago. I walked in off the street and he had me up and running within an hour, very affordable too. This guy is a pro, don't risk having some amatuers screw up your xbox for you. Thanks again, C (redreedrumr)
Awesome service by a computer expert...:
Hey All,
If you a tired of messing with your consoles; or trying to recoup your box from the damage you might have already done to it, Fred@sdmods will take care of you. I thought my PS2 was a gonner after my MOD-CHIP installation attempt - but Fred not only fixed it, he also installed a brand new chip at a very cheap price. My X-BOX now looks like a race car with all the bells and whistles. Not to mention that I will make-up for what I spent on the chips+installs in one week of renting games!
sdmods, though not mentioned on the site, also works on PS2 and PS2 slim consoles.
I would highly recommend sdmods.com to anyone who is looking for that extra functionality in their console.
Casey
fred is the best: thx fred - ELITESNIPER2112
Thx Fred, Loving the Mod: Installed Ice in my Xbox this friday. Its wonderful. Thanks man. -topwop
Sound off for Fred!!!:
I am posting this because this should be here and everyone should sound off and give the man props in one location.
Not only is Fred a Rock. Literally, I know no one as dedicated as this guy.
Not only does he work full time, keeps a shop running, is a man of his word, lives by his word, works by his word, but finds time to be a father and a husband.
Last word , DAMNNNNN!!!! -mAl4m3D
thanks fred: Thanks Fred for modding my pstwo slim and fixing my old one. I thought that the older one was hopeless, but you worked your magic and fixed it. I will definately refer friends, associates or anyone who would like to get a ps2, xbox or gamecube mod and repair. I will not go through anyone else. Let me know on future plans for the ps3 haha. Take care man. -Dean
Outstanding service and a saved butt...: I flashed my X3 chip wrong, and found out about these guys. Initially my intention was to make the 2 1/2 hour drive to San Diego, but could not make time for it, so Fred agreed to take care of reflashing the chip for me via mail. I paid for the (very reasonable) cost of reflashing and shipping both ways, and even tried to throw in a few bucks extra for his time. My chip came back in perfect working order accompanied by the money I had "overpaid." I am now far happier, and my xbox is far cooler thanks to their efforts at sdmods. Thanks guys! -bob
Thankx: I was stuck, then I went to SDmods. I was amazed with the great job Fred did! He flashed my chip and installed ExoX on my box, explaining everything every step of the way... Awsome job Fred, thanks so much!
Just another happy man: Hey. This guy is the best. He had my xbox completely hooked up and fixed everything. He is very fast and when he was done he gave me a complete tutorial. If you live in San Diego or just visiting come to SDmods. Keep it up Fred. Also he air cleaned my whole xbox for free. -biggieandmoe
Another Satisfied Customer:
When my Xbox stop working the first thing I thought was oh man, time to open my wallet and buy a new one , Crap. But first I called my local video game stores and ask if they knew any one that did repairs on xbox's . Every one I talked to said no. I was getting really bumed now. Then I remembered a friend telling me about SDMODS and what a great job this guy did moding his system. So I thought what the heck, I ll call ask if he does repairs. To my surprize Fred said yes he does . He asked me a few question about the problems I was having and assured me he could fix it in no time. So I decided to bring it to him the first chance I got.
Fred is very Polite and a fast worker, He is also very friendly and takes the time to chat with his customers. Visiting his shop was a pleasure. I look forward to coming back again and again. They say word of mouth is good advertisement for your buisness, you can bet I ll be telling everyone I know and meet to go to SDMODS.com for any game console needs.
Thanks again Fred

From start to finish, this guy makes you feel comfortable to ask any questions about anything. He's a xbox sage! This guy is fast and takes roughly 5 min. to do the service. And accurate as well: since I haven't had any problems with my xbox. Thanks a lot for the incredible service, I hope I go back there soon to get the latest modifications!

Well thing is I dont have a mod chip or PS2 yet heh. My old mod PS2 died out on me or isn't spinning discs anymore. You dont happen to do PS2 repairs? If I was to provide a PS2 would you happen to have any mod chips on you? If not then I wouldn't know which mod chip to buy in the first place.
Get another FAT, they have HDD bays. Don't get a v12 slim as they have laser issues (you could get a laserfix PCB but I've seen those fail). v13 up to v16a slims are doable, past that I don't think those can be chipped for even memcard modded.
If you don't mind patching your ISOs before you burn them, and you don't care about PS1, just get a memcard mod from me for $20. Save yourself the installation and chip charge. Plus you can easily launch ELFs with the memcard mod like HDLoader and SMS media player, and tons of emulators, straight from a USB stick.
If you're set on a chip, get a Crystal Chip and FAT PS2. Don't get v1, v2, or v3 FATs. v4-v11 fats are perfect.

hey i just had my xbox modded over the weekend (guy with red hat) and i recovered my stolen one too! can i get a free update to 1.51 for both? you said 1.6 should be coming out soon too right? should i wait for that? let me know...thanks
If it was this most recent Sunday then you already have v1.51. Sure come by and we'll update that other one. v1.6 is already out for 79 hitachis I'm suprised they haven't announced it yet - but not for the other drives. All that does is allow you to connect your 360 drive up to your PC to rip games (alternative to SHD162C PC drive). Plus you have to crack your 360 open to do it. Beyond that, same as v1.51 I believe.

I do want to play both PS1 and PS2 games on the PS2 so I think I'll go with getting a fat PS2 with the mod chip you recommended. You dont happen to have any already modded PS2's on you? I would rather just buy a fully modded PS2 to get it over with. How much would the whole job go for getting the mod chip installed? Thanks.
50 for install. Just bring in Crystal Chip and v4-v11 FAT PS2 and I'll take care of it for you. Sorry no pre-mods

Just got my xbox flashed by you 3 weeks ago and unfortunately i was banned in the wave. Not sure why, i verify disks and everything.
Do you offer any banned console trade-ins?
Post by: RoboChicken on November 03, 2009, 12:52:00 PM
0side - sorry I don't stock replacement consoles. But if you need another one flashed it will be free. As far as the cause of the bans I think it's mostly speculation but I haven't read the latest posts on the existing thread.
CrazyCowPie - stop by with the modchip and I'll install it for you. Swing by anytime during hours. See hours and location at sdmods.com

Oh I've got drama similar to yours now:
A computer shop moved into our old location (206 Van Houten) called SDCS computer repair. He seemed like a nice enough guy except until he started telling customers that I went out of business and that they can take care of their Xbox needs. Be wary of doing business with someone who lies like this. Remember our new location is 415 West Douglas.

Xbox 360 Mod: Thanks to the people at SDMODS for a great job installing the lastest version of iXtreme on my Xbox 360. Fast survice and very helpful.
-john619Wii Mod: Thank you sooo much SDMODS for my Wii modification. I know it was a pain in the ass to fix my Wii but thank you soo much for staying for an additional hour! I will definitely refer you guys to all my friends who wants to get their consoles modded. Thank you once again, and I'm sure I'll be in touch with you guys in the future. YOU GUYS ROCK! A+++ Customer Service and Satisfaction! P.S. DON'T PLAY MARIO KART WII (PAL VERSION) -s1kang
Xbox 360 satisfaction: Fred took care of my xbox quickly and it works perfectly, thanks Fred! -d-sea
360 firmware upgrades: Fred does them super fast and for a good price imo, at least for those of us without the inclination to figure out how to do it ourselves. -Lennie40
Great Service Great Price: I went there last time to had a softmod for my 360 it was really fast. Dont listen to them about the 15mins wait. I was there for less than 10 mins and it was done, lol. SDMODS has the best price and great service, thank you very much. -vincezero
Firmware Upgrade: I stopped by SDMods to have the firmware on my xbox updated to the latest version today. Service was great (like everyone always says.) There were quite a few people in line ahead of me (which shows how popular and trusted they are) but Fred was finishing the machines nice and quickly so I didn't mind waiting. In addition, he helpfully informed another (repair) customer that their Xbox was still under Microsoft warranty and gave them step-by-step directions on how to get it repaired through them for free when he could have just accepted the machine and their money. SDMods is the place to go in SD. -wic
yo, SDMODS ROCK!: SDMODS IS THE PLACE TO GO NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!... THANKS SDMODS.. -dc_norberte
Definition of Greatness= SDMODS: I came in a few months back to mod my 360. The service was incredibly fast, the 360 worked better than expected, and they also managed to dust off all the junk that collected in the 360 from use over time thus preventing any future headaces from RROD problems. I also learned a lot in the process as they are very customer-friendly... They were both willing and knowledgable in discussing any technical questions that I had. I will definitely be coming back for all my video game console needs! -Avi
SD Mods - Made My Gaming Life Awesome!: Thank You SD Mods for the great service and technical help. Although you are always so very busy you find time to answer all my noob questions and you have always done a great job working on my equipment. I have told all my friends and family who are into gaming about how you've helped me. Just wanted say thanks and show some appreciation for what you do! -elan76
SD Mods is LEGIT!, A+++: Got my Xbox 360 modded by SD mods in less than 30 minutes, and now I'm playing all of my backups FLAWLESSLY. Couldn't have asked for any better service. -richierich
SD Mods - Quick and Great Service: I had my firmware flashed last April. The service was quick and it's worked perfectly ever since. I plan on stopping by to get the Firmware upgraded again and I'm sure the service will be great as well. If you need any sort of modding done, I'm sure they'll do it great. -wic
SD-Mods Quick & Awesome: I had my Xbox modded about 6 months ago and the service was great took no more than 15 minutes, very friendly and I plan on getting it updated to the new ixtreme 1.51, i cant wait. I recommend to everyone! -Raul
A++ Service: Wanted to thank SD Mods for their great work, quick service and friendly attitude. I was impressed on how quickly he was able to get the work done, I was out of there with a working system within 15 minutes Thanks again SD Mods! -Andy
So helpful: Fred has done so much for me. First got my Wii modded here then when I tried to put a new chip in for myself I completely messed up my wii and he fixed it for me and put the new chip for no additional price. He has also modded my Xbox 360, One Friday I went down with a group of friends to get our psp modded and I had a bad model. So the next day on a closed night he came in to mod my psp for me. Very friendly and so helpful, I don't know what I would do without Fred in the area. Thanks for all the help. -kotech
Great Wii and RROD work: Nothing but top quality service! I have had 2 wii's modded (soldered 9 wires), 2 RROD fixes. All work perfectly! I have recommended others for softmods to there wii's and they were equally satisfied. Just look up at his ceiling fan if you doubt how many RROD 360's he has fixed. -Derrick (luckysob)
Great and friendly service: I've used Fred a few times and he's always been helpful and answered any questions I had. GREAT reliable service. Thanks. -sondiego
Very Good Work!: I recently had my Xbox 360 modded at SD mods, and it was excellent. I went in, he modded it right there for me in just a couple of minutes, no hassle whatsoever. He gave me all the information I needed and was very friendly. Excellent customer service, very fast, and affordable. A+! I have referred 2 friends to have their xbox's modded and none of us have been let down! -Guest_kyh0mpb_*
Service is Great!: I had no problems with my xbox! Amazing job you guys do!
-ArceoTHANKS ALOT. A+Service: I will for sure return -LPE
Quick Turnaround w/ Quality Work!: I highly recommend SD MODS and Fred to anyone wishing to have modification or repair done to their Xbox, 360, Ps2, or Wii. He was quick with his work (flashing) on my 360 and it lasted even through the winter bans! I know I will be getting all my work done there from now on. -Guest_thekillbox_*
service: thank you sd.mods for a legit service -siklive
fast & friendly service: Had my xbox 360 a while now since the mod, it has worked perfect the whole time. When I got it modded it was quick in and out. Thanks Fred! -rockdoll619

Rock on sdmods.com!! -Galvatron
#1 In My Books: I went in late on a Sunday, Fred stayed late and modded 2 360's for me that have both worked flawlessly. On top of that, while modding he shared a lot of his knowledge with me. It was an awesome conversation. No matter where you are in SD County his service is with the drive. -Coach LDE

Comments: Back in September I went to SDMODS to get a Xbox 360 modded. Fred did a fantastic job, quick turnaround. I've recommended him to all my friends and family and have actually had some of my cousins come in to get 360's modded from him. If I ever had something in need of a mod I will definitely go to Fred. -Laini
Quality assurance..., Service review:
I continue to be a repeat customer of SDMODS...
Fred knows what he's doing, cares about his products/services, and is simply a cool guy in general.
I've taken a few 360s into SDMODS so far. 2 for modding, 1 for the E74 error, and 1 for everyone's favorite: the mighty red rings.
All issues have been taken care of the first time around with no backlash.
SDMODS recommended? Absolutely!
Thank you. -Therapy4pain

Thanks for the awesome service Fred!: So I went in to get my 360 modded a few weeks ago. Worked great then i started having minor issues with games not loading up properly. I got on the horn with Fred today and he advice me to drop in, so I went ahead and took my console as well as a few games in with me. He checked it out. Explained to me the problem and updated my console. All in the same day!
Thanks Fred! i'll for sure send as many peeps your way as i know. And if anybody has any doubts i assure you this guy knows his stuff! Don't hesitate. -sharky

Best in class service!!!: I had my xbox 360 flashed about a month ago and i have not had one issue to complain about. Fred knows his stuff. He's not the typical "nerd" i thought he would be. when he was hooking my xbox 360 he was very social and totally exceeded my expectations. I have recommened everyone i know with a 360 to hit up SDMods. -MannyG
Great Service: Thank you for modding my 360.............works 100% -djclubber
Best Mod Service in SD: At SD Mods I was able to get my 360 modded in less than 10 minutes. It was quick, easy, and my warranty was NOT voided during the process. He answered all the questions I had while I was playing on his Quasimoto 360 Arcade Machine Anyone who wants to get his/her 360 modded should go to Fred. He also mods the original Xbox, PS2s, PSPs, and Wiis. Also don't worry, he doesn't sell backups so that he will be here for a long time.

-Burn Piano IsleFred is the SHIZNIT: Fred did a good job, showed me how to use everything on my xbox, very cool guy. Recommending to friends for sure. Thank you Fred. -glen619
Excellent install! (modchip + HD upgrade): Thanks for the install, I absolutely love my new xbox. He installed an Xecuter 2.6, upgraded the HD and installed Emulators for all the old game systems. He let me watch while he did all the work and responded to my email questions. If I ever need more work done I'll definitely be back. Thanks again! -ryan (generalrydo1)
sdmods: Cool dude, very helpful fast service even took the time to show me how to do everything definetly worth it 8) -reppd
Fred Thx: The Error 05 was simply my ICE chip accidently booting to the xbox bios. Starting the xbox with the eject button and changing it back worked. -topwop
SDMODS is the greatest: Fred totally took care of 2 of my xboxes. One he fixed the motherboard that had a bad chip install and the other he did a tsop flash. He is highly recommended I would take any of my repairs there. -aquajock98
Great job by Fred: Just wanted to leave some feedback for Fred. He did a great job repairing a not-so great job that I had done about five months ago. I walked in off the street and he had me up and running within an hour, very affordable too. This guy is a pro, don't risk having some amatuers screw up your xbox for you. Thanks again, C (redreedrumr)
Awesome service by a computer expert...:
Hey All,
If you a tired of messing with your consoles; or trying to recoup your box from the damage you might have already done to it, Fred@sdmods will take care of you. I thought my PS2 was a gonner after my MOD-CHIP installation attempt - but Fred not only fixed it, he also installed a brand new chip at a very cheap price. My X-BOX now looks like a race car with all the bells and whistles. Not to mention that I will make-up for what I spent on the chips+installs in one week of renting games!
sdmods, though not mentioned on the site, also works on PS2 and PS2 slim consoles.
I would highly recommend sdmods.com to anyone who is looking for that extra functionality in their console.
Casey
fred is the best: thx fred - ELITESNIPER2112
Thx Fred, Loving the Mod: Installed Ice in my Xbox this friday. Its wonderful. Thanks man. -topwop
Sound off for Fred!!!:
I am posting this because this should be here and everyone should sound off and give the man props in one location.
Not only is Fred a Rock. Literally, I know no one as dedicated as this guy.
Not only does he work full time, keeps a shop running, is a man of his word, lives by his word, works by his word, but finds time to be a father and a husband.
Last word , DAMNNNNN!!!! -mAl4m3D
thanks fred: Thanks Fred for modding my pstwo slim and fixing my old one. I thought that the older one was hopeless, but you worked your magic and fixed it. I will definately refer friends, associates or anyone who would like to get a ps2, xbox or gamecube mod and repair. I will not go through anyone else. Let me know on future plans for the ps3 haha. Take care man. -Dean
Outstanding service and a saved butt...: I flashed my X3 chip wrong, and found out about these guys. Initially my intention was to make the 2 1/2 hour drive to San Diego, but could not make time for it, so Fred agreed to take care of reflashing the chip for me via mail. I paid for the (very reasonable) cost of reflashing and shipping both ways, and even tried to throw in a few bucks extra for his time. My chip came back in perfect working order accompanied by the money I had "overpaid." I am now far happier, and my xbox is far cooler thanks to their efforts at sdmods. Thanks guys! -bob
Thankx: I was stuck, then I went to SDmods. I was amazed with the great job Fred did! He flashed my chip and installed ExoX on my box, explaining everything every step of the way... Awsome job Fred, thanks so much!
Just another happy man: Hey. This guy is the best. He had my xbox completely hooked up and fixed everything. He is very fast and when he was done he gave me a complete tutorial. If you live in San Diego or just visiting come to SDmods. Keep it up Fred. Also he air cleaned my whole xbox for free. -biggieandmoe
Another Satisfied Customer:
When my Xbox stop working the first thing I thought was oh man, time to open my wallet and buy a new one , Crap. But first I called my local video game stores and ask if they knew any one that did repairs on xbox's . Every one I talked to said no. I was getting really bumed now. Then I remembered a friend telling me about SDMODS and what a great job this guy did moding his system. So I thought what the heck, I ll call ask if he does repairs. To my surprize Fred said yes he does . He asked me a few question about the problems I was having and assured me he could fix it in no time. So I decided to bring it to him the first chance I got.
Fred is very Polite and a fast worker, He is also very friendly and takes the time to chat with his customers. Visiting his shop was a pleasure. I look forward to coming back again and again. They say word of mouth is good advertisement for your buisness, you can bet I ll be telling everyone I know and meet to go to SDMODS.com for any game console needs.
Thanks again Fred
