with smokey's challenge...
What i do when fixing TSOP's that people screw up and i fix...
1. solder both top and bottom of board....
a. Spot 1 (MCPX RD)
b. Spot 2 (MCPX WR)
2. now may sure you have EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.zip already flashed to the matrix.... dont do it after... because it just wastes time and can cause user error...
no one wants that.
3. connect a thin single thread wire to T1, dont solder the bitch. use small amounts of hot gule or tape. T1
Here COMES SMOKEY"S WAY!!!!!!
4. now install chip into xbox and put it on mode 4 with out the ground connected to T1.
the xbox (eject button)will blink orange and green.... YOU WANT THIS!!! this will let you know that the chip is installed right...
seeing nothing else is no good. The eject button must blink orange and green.
once it is blinking green and orange, dont touch move the matrix around. it is already set.
5. once you did number 4 turn off the system and put the matrix on mode 3 and put the T1 to the screw (ground) and boot it up.
once booted remove the T1 cable from the screw...
6. once booted up use your fav boot disk. Slayers 1.5 or 2.0 or use evox CD to flash your TSOP!
Thats it and it works like a charm every time... no matter what anyone says.
Edited: it will flash TSOP's that have not been touched. except it will be alot easier to get it right the first time!

if you have alignement problems with the matrix.. on the D0 point..
I DO NOT RECOMMEND LEAVING A XBOX THIS WAY... THIS IS ONLY FOR FLASHING!
Some may think this is bad.. but I swear it works with no problems or shorts...
I wish my camera zoomed in good enough to show..but anyway I will try to explain..
take a piece of .30 gauge wire (dunno if my decimal is in right place but its thin.)
anway sheath off like a quarter inch.. then cut that bare wire from the main ..
so you have a quarter inch or so of BARE wire.
Now stick that little piece of wire in the d0 point.. make sure you ends are straight meaning not cut and bent.. so it goes in nice..
be GENTLE! push or wiggle it in.. it does not go far...
just the tip makes it in a little bit.
now once in a little.. press down and align it with the tracks.. so it goes with the flow of them.
there is a coating over the tracks do not worry about shorting.. (at least I never do. I don't cut into the coating)
anyway.. just press down nicely making sure no wire is touching metal.
now put a small piece of tape over it .. electrical tape is best I think..
TRY if you can not to cover the linning up points ... so you can see at least one of them through the holes on top of the matrix...
now you "should" if you do it right.. just the small little hump that comes out of the d0 point.
MAKE SURE it is just a little bit of that wire showing comming out of the d0 point.. and the rest is covered with tap. (also cover the other little points that are next to it if you can.. just a little tap is all you need.
anyway .. now put on your matrix.. but do not even screw it down all the way.. allow for small movement up and down and left and right.
Now align the matrix with the tsop chip (the black chip on board)...
now you will see..
when you line it up.. the matrix will stop moving when you hit that little wire on the d0 point.
of course you can move OVER it.. but you will see.. you will line it up EVERY time .. so you can flash the tsop.
it is a easy way for those picky d0 points.. I do this and it lines up as soon as I screw it down.. and move a little till it doesn;t move down.. of course I can see through the holes and align like normal.. but now when it stops.. It is hitting that little wire.. which is all you need. to flash.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND LEAVING A XBOX THIS WAY... THIS IS ONLY FOR FLASHING!
if pictures are needed .. i can do it.. just will take a min. or two heh

http://www.geocities...dgeiv/flash.htm everything is clear well almost am going to the the first method and not Alternate Method and just wondering if i need to join the (J1) and (W1 - W2) ? since it does not say it method one. also from my understanding i can remove (T1) after im done but what about W1/W2
i hope i didnt loose you in this question hehehhe
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
incase i fuckup big and cant be fix it i should be able to use a modchip and everything should be ok right???????????
and one more thing if im sodering W2 does the wire go just like the pictures is shown or is there a special point the last 2?
thaknx to all that reply
Post by: smokeingit on February 02, 2003, 10:15:00 AM
but to answer your question...
you will still need to short J1 regardless.
you will need to leave W2 there. once you solder...
and once it boots with this meathod you can remove the T1 wire from ground.
once your TSOP is flashed you can remove the chip and T1 out of there...
just to let you know... you will not be able to reflash your tsop from evox doing this method, only the alternative method will let you reflash...
and yes if you fuck, it will still boot your system.

i m so glad to hear that my xbox tsop could actually be repaired !
i just solder a mod chip few days ago !!!!!
i didn t known i could reflash that way !
remember i had flashed my tsop with a corrupted bios !
so with the matrix i was trying the trick with the flashing tsop bios but it wasn t working cause it needed at least a bank of the original xbox bios !
so from what i heard now i should be able to reuse the tsop !
u should make a nice tuto with pics and post it in the tuto section of the xbox scene !
thx a lot !
ps now i have to unsolder my chip !!!!!

| smokeingit, I see nothing different in your method that in method 1 of my tutorial, except the fact that you are saying to use a regualar Evox BIOS instead of the TSOP flash one...am I right? Also, once you flash the TSOP, you can reflash it over and over as long as you leave either the top and bottom jumpers OR the top jumper and W1-W2 connected. |
by all means knowledgeiv, I followed your method to a T. The only thing is that you tell people how to flash a TSOP if the onboard bios is not fucked. i go and tell them how to fix the problem. I for one to not have W1 and W2 shorted so i cant speak for that on my behalf. i just read alot of posts people bitching that they cant reflash on EVOX dont the w1w2 style. I tell them to use the flash matrix style from the word go and go to mode 4 to test the aliment to make sure its gonna work. thus the orange/green/red flash's.
But thanks to you i made this faq, but i made it because people could not fix it there TSOP because did not understand what Mr.greatvirus wrote to fix.
Post by: smokeingit on February 02, 2003, 07:59:00 PM
I did read that people could not flash with W1-W2 but i did not test because i didnt like the idea of connecting shit to TSOP directly.
I tested it with 256k Flash's, blank TSOP because they turned it wrong, wrong bios (enigmah bios) and one @ 99 %
tiz all worked fine

its like the more im reading and asking question about this TSOP the easier its looking to do it lol.
question bout the #7(1meg BIOS in the bios folder & EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.bin) so the 1mb bios is the one thats going to be used in the xbox that mean if i want a color bios make the 1mb bios color since i can not change it after im done.
by the way thankx for all your help

I didn't want to try to solder W1 to W2, either. This just seemed ridiculous when the same thing can be done by connecting the jumper on the bottom of the mobo. Also, it's much easier to use the conductive grease to connect the jumpers, instead of soldering and you can just wipe it away when you are done if you want. A conductive pen would probably also work and be much easier.
As far as alignment goes, I didn't want to have to worry about re-aligning either...it can be a bitch somtimes. That's why I use a normal BIOS, align the chip, and then re-flash with TSOP flash BIOS from the Evox dash or CD.

dude.. how many ways can i explain this before you understand? the tsop is hosed.. your method is no different from the original tsop flash method, except for alignment.. it will not fix a totally hosed tsop every time. I have screwed my tsop up before and managed to reflash it, but this time it will not boot with the matrix_tsop_flash bios. D0 on my box has a piece of 30awg wrapping wire hanging off of it, that i have grounded.. so alignment isn't an issue, but no matter which bios i attempt to boot with (along with the matrix_tsop_flash on the modchip) it just does it's little 3 reboot / christmas lights.. the matrix does the same thing in mode3.. red / green flashing, instead of green for a sec then red solid.. so i take the matrix out and reflash it with x24794 colormod bios, and it boots just fine. I don't get an error in evox, because i can't boot up.. period.. but no matter.. i'll figure out a way eventually.. until then i'll just leave the chip in.
EDIT:::: yes.. it's a hynix chip.

my problem child seems to directly relate to the cromwell bios being in the mix (i don't know why however).. see, the tsop flashed completely, then rebooted, then never worked again.. well not without a modchip anyway.. i did use this method to flash a different box today that had a partial screwup, and the guy just wanted the original bios put back on.. worked good.

I just read that. did you reflash your chip again with the matrix bios before doing this again? because in theory the matrix bios got erased when you left the ground wire on. other then that, i dont know.. you should make a thread only on this.
Post by: nam133 on March 09, 2003, 10:31:00 PM
I've flashed the TSOPs on 4 xboxes with my matrix using the standard method. Recently I wanted to flash an onboard back to 3944 to install an x2 pro. When doing that, I apparently left t1 grounded, and experienced the same thing turtlesrule described - 1/4th flashed then hang.
So here's the interesting part. My TSOP won't flash (same FF problem as turtlesrule) and my matrix chip won't flash either! When I try to flash it using the programmer, I get the equivalent of the FF problem-- WinLPC says it can't find the device (the red light goes out as soon as it tries to write) and lmilk errors out, not recognizing the device type.
I downloaded the lmilk source and changed it to assume the right device type, to get past the device detection routine and assume the right flash chip config. With that mod it immediately gets stuck while trying to erase. It's the same exact problem as with the TSOP... it always reads FF's and writes seem to fail instantly.
So it seems that making that t1 mistake is unbelievably costly, as it kills your tsop and can kill your matrix as well.
Any tips on how to fix this would be great... I find it hard to believe that a bad flash should irreversibly f*ck up a flashrom, but it certainly seems to. I suspect that there might be some way to hook up voltage to a flashrom to force an erase as well, any flash chip experts care to comment?

I started off with a bad xbox (i dont know how it got that way, but it was flashed before). I thought I could fix it using this method, but no luck.
I soldered a wire to the T1 point and got ready for the ground. Then I aligned the matrix (flashed with EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.bin) to make the xbox flash orange/red/green in mode4. Then I ground the T1 point and switched the matrix over to mode3. After that, it just gives me the flashing red/green/orange lights. The stupid dvd tray wont even open (it makes a loud clicking sound over and over).
Anyone know what Im doing wrong?

Shit. then that means that the TSOP has some how been damaged or at least the bios info was scrambled... i can across this problem with an xbox my friend killed and now think that there are some things that can screw up the TSOP...
jamminj606: it sounds that the xbox motherboard was flashed with the matrix_tsop Bios. because the error you explain is a bios issue kicking the matrix ass some how. so it is like firing back at the matrix or something. some bios you used is defeating the purpose. i am gonna study it some more and try to come up with a solution.

Post by: smokeingit on April 22, 2003, 11:51:00 AM
Not yet, if at all ever. the reason is because it takes full ownership of the LPC when it boots up. so if were to flash it would no be cunfused which chip to flash. even if you were to take the chip out in process, it would still look for the LPC chip. unlike the matrix bios that overrides that command...
Post by: alexh on April 22, 2003, 03:09:00 PM
Older Xbox's have an 8Mbit TSOP flash correct?
So Xbox v1.2 can never have a multibios without a modchip (or something) because the original bios uses all the flash?
Thanks

Yes, if you can get it to boot with the matrix then it is flashable. assuming you have the ground connected to T1. it should be repairable.

Well, first you have to find a 29-wire mod. From what I hear, they are pretty hard to come by these days, but I have to admit that I haven't really done any searching. The idea of soldering 29 wires to pads the size of a pinhead just really didn't appeal to me. I had enough trouble just getting the T1 wire to stay in place.
The method I read to fix a TSOP with a 29-wire mod involved soldering the mod in place, booting from it, then cutting every wire one by one so that when you flash, the data goes to your TSOP instead of the mod. Basically, you only get one shot at it. Hope that helps!

OK, if this true, then this is a far cry from Smokeingit's original claim that it will work with the TSOP in any state.
Not trying to dis anyone, just trying to understand.
I have a 1.0 xbox with nothing usable in the TSOP (screwed something up with Raincoat). It runs fine with the Matrix enabled, but if I load the Matrix_TSOP bios it won't boot. (regardless of the T1 wire)
Am I correct in assuming that if the xbox will run from the matrix (EvoX D.6.blue) that the matrix is properly aligned? So if I then load the Matrix/TSOP bios using EvoXdash and it won't boot, I'm truly hosed here?
Given that, are there any other ways (this side of desoldering the chip) to rewrite the onboard flash? It's not a big deal, I do have the Matrix, and couldn't care less about live, but it would be nice to recover the TSOP.
Thanks,

| I soldered a wire to the T1 point and got ready for the ground. Then I aligned the matrix (flashed with EvoX_MatriX_TSOP_flash.bin) to make the xbox flash orange/red/green in mode4. Then I ground the T1 point and switched the matrix over to mode3. After that, it just gives me the flashing red/green/orange lights. The stupid dvd tray wont even open (it makes a loud clicking sound over and over). Anyone know what Im doing wrong? |
Basically when booting in MODE 3, nothing appears on the screen, DVD clicking sound and won't open, and eject led flashes green/amber/red intermittently. MODE 2 & 4 render exact same results. MODE 1, however boots original bios flawlessly, and DVD drive works as per normal.
Does this sound like an alignment issue? I've tested my alignment with a DMM as stated in the diagrams... but I have no clue why it just won't boot anything.

So I switched matrix to MODE 3 and connected T1. This time when powered on, it beeped then shut off. It powered itself on again, beeped then shut off again. It did it a third time, only it didn't shut itself down... it flashed Green/Red on the eject led.
Once again I'm clueless as to why. Any suggestions?
