make sure the controller is an original xbox controller. it seems the chip wont boot without it. thats the only thing i am hating right now,  those big oversized xbox controllers .

Anyone else having this problem?  I've rechecked over my soldering joints numerous times, cant find any problems, still just boots up red then starts flashing red/orange on the xbox.

which d0 did u use? it only seemed to work for the front one for me. be sure u scrape it out Lightly with an exacto knife. then i had to wiggle it a litte and it worked. tape it down too. if you get the Xenium screen tho you are good.

i have the type s controller too, you have to have a controller in the port for the xos to load this is very important. i thought i messed up too but some dude in the ozxodus irc channel said to put my controller in. i wasn't the only one with that question either. Ozxodus needs some better manuals. seeing as how i wasn't sure wich holes the pinheader was supposed to go in. i had to look at the x2.3b install directions lol.

I'm having a problem similar to akeel...

I boot to a Xenium splash screen but don't get to the Main Menu. Used the pin header method. Checked solder connections on the LPC and D0. No sign of problems here.

Any ideas???

I figured out my problem...

I was using a "Gaming Edge" brand controller. With this controller, the boot doesn't complete. It just hangs on a splash screen with the Xenium logo (just prior to the image of the controller being displayed).

Plugged in a genuine Xbox controller S and booted just fine. I was then able to get to the Main Menu.

Here is one for ya...I am totally lost here.  I installed the Xenium...Flashed it with the xecutor 4979.6 bios on bank 1 and the evox M7 on bank 2.  I have a 120 gb drive that i was using out of another xbox that has game and stuff on it with the dashboard already configured...when I boot it I get an error 13 which is unable to boot the dashboard.  So I can ftp into the xbox using a dashboard boot disc (Slayers) and the hard drive is blank.  So I formatted the drive with Slayers disc and now nothing can be written to the hard drive.  I have unlock and locked the drive an no change.  I have also used a different hard drive an no change....lost here!!

When burning your bios to flash just drag and drop in nero ( cd iso ) and burn . I was confused about the format { BIOS.BIN as one word with the bin extension } or BIOS as one word with the bin extension }

Example : BIOS.BIN.bin or BIOS.bin

So I just put both formats on a cdrw along with a 100meg dummy file and it worked fine . Still dont know which file it used though ????? They were both X2 4979.06 ( 512k )
Good Luck

It's just plain 'bios.bin'

i didn't need a dummy file, and i burned it with the windows burner, and the fastest speed, on a cd-r. it had no problems reading it.
