| Team Xodus releases XeniumOS 2.0.1 This update is being released to address several minor/moderate bugs, and 2 potentially serius bugs. It is reccomended that all users upgrade to this version of XeniumOS. A few notes: This update comes with 2 recovery.bin files. The standard recovery.bin will no longer erase bioses, settings, or eeprom backup. recovery-ResetToFactoryDefaults.bin behaves like previous updates, and will restore the chip to a factory default state. The 2.0.0 release of XeniumOS would allow the user to use the "Recover from BIN" option in the EEprom tools with a .bin file which was not an EEprom backup, resulting in a corrupted system EEprom. Also, when the system EEprom was corrupted by this action, or any other means, XeniumOS would fail to boot properly. We would like to point out, once again, that improper and uninformed use of the EEprom tools can have destructive results, and users should proceed with caution. In the case of a corrupted EEprom, XeniumOS will now enter a special boot mode, and will prompt you to press a button when you can read some text on a blue background. This is done so that the video can be properly initialized independant of eeprom settings. If you have a corrupted EEprom currently, and XeniumOS will not boot, upgrading to this version of XeniumOS should allow you to recover. If this is the case, it is reccomended that you update using the CD upgrade method, and disconnect your harddrive if you had previously used the harddrive upgrade method. Changelog: +Added some diagnostics reporting to filesystem drivers, in preperation for performance profiling +Added monitoring of PIO/UDMA switching, in preperation for performance profiling +Added "EEpromless video region" screen *Other minor changes in filesystem drivers, shouldn't make any difference *Substantial changes to usb subsystem, should be a bit more stable now *Better integration of usb flash drive and filesystem drivers *Fixed issue with third party controller compatability *Finishing/Improving usb keyboard and mouse drivers in preperation for integrating with UI *Minor internal change to hashing library *Replaced one of the Xbox hw version detection routines. May still report some boxes as 1.0, when they are not, and vice versa, but this is not confirmed yet *Some IP stack changes, nothing that should have major impact *Several improvements to ARP handling *Several internal kernel additions -Fixed a very minor bug with drive mounting -Small change in ftp protocol handling and ftp->filesystem path translation -Fixed bug that caused "Restore from BIN" to not appear if the system EEprom was invalid -Fixed some SMB file ID handling bugs (should now properly close files opened over smb) -Fixed a minor problem with interrupt servicing in usb subsystem -Fixed a minor dhcp error handling bug -Fixed a minor problem with handling ICMP pings -Fixed a double free bug in ip stack -Fixed a critical bug with EEprom restore-from-bin which could render a box unbootable if used improperly -Fixed a critical bug which caused Kernel Panic on boot when EEprom was invalid, when attempting to set video mode Legend: + Addition - Bug fix * Change |

Looks like a must-install update to me

I purposely corrupted my eeprom to see if it would fix it... guess what, it worked
Great bug fix release, and now, especially with it not deleting your OS settings/BIOSes, I'd highly recommending everyone update, especially those suffereringfrom eeprom issues.

Hmmm... Does this mean we're in for some HDD related XOS2 performence updates in the future? (Like... partition copying/HDD updating from larger drives will actually be somewhat speedy now?)

=================== UPGRADE PROCEDURE =================== We recomend upgrade procedure is done with cdrom ISO version, simply unpack and burn the ISO .. ensuring you set Disk at once option (please follow the manual, should you require further assistance) alternatively: Place the recovery.bin file on your console's E:\ and entering Recovery Mode thru the Xenium-OS menu or by changing the position of the switch on your Xenium, once update has been completed we strongly suggest that the recovery.bin file is either renamed or deleted, to prevent the Upgrade process from being performed unintentionally and your Xenium-OS settings being reset. |
If you have a 1.6 xbox you will need to unlock your HD to do the HD based upgrade. If you can't do the upgrade, use the CD based upgrade.
If you have a Xenium Blue in a 1.6 xbox you will need to do the upgrade in a non 1.6 xbox.
If you get Cluster errors etc when doing the upgrade, just try ignoring them and see if it works anyway

Hey apple, since you tested the eeprom yourself, does what I describe happen when yours repaired itself? I'm guessing it is since it never did that before. I let it cycle thru for like 5 - 10 minutes and it never came up with a screen. Damn I thought this would fix it.

| Yes this update looks great, however the eeprom fix does NOT WORK ON A 1.6!!! I have an old thread I was looking (and still am) for help about a corrupt eeprom on a 1.6. I just saw this release so I threw it on. Upon booting, I do get a weird behavior where the chip is green, the eject is green, flashes, goes to flashing red for a few seconds, then the chip changes colors, and it goes back to green and the cycle starts all over. I am assuming that this is the new boot method for a corrupt eeprom but I NEVER GET A SCREEN SAYING TO PUSH A BUTTON. This leads me to believe that it does not work on a 1.6.

The consistant rebooting is a bug in 2.0.0.... are you sure the update to 2.0.1 took?
The eeprom fixes were all fully tested on both NTSC and PAL 1.6, as well as earlier boxes.

/me may have to test this by downgrading to 2.0.0, messing up my eeprom completely, and reupdating to XOS 2.0.1... A task for tomorrow though; I'm off to sleep.

| Absolutely sure I flashed it twice to make sure and it never did this before. When I put 2.0.0 on it it behaved differently than its doing now. Artifex, if you could msg me on aim I could really use to talk to you about this. Obviously I'm not a noob you should know that by now but this 1.6 is killing me. The worst part is its not mine its a customers and he did it himself, I'm trying to salvage it for him. Please im me or email me asap I really need your input. |

went smoothly
ICE led went green, amber, blue then green during the upgrade
settings seem to have been kept nicely
Arti, can you provide some information on the repair hd tool, is it destructive? will it overwrite the current saved games on an HD?
As most of the fixes are with things I didn't have a problem with, I can't really test them, so just reporting that all seems to be well on my end

on team xodus homepage, that have a post about the upgrade. at the bottom it says you can download it in their "stable" downloads. just click on stable and look for it. its there. thats where i got mine.
EDIT:
just to add to emporer's quickie how to, after you hit recovery, lights will start to flash. dont freak out. just wait till they get done and the box with turn itself off. then you can reboot. make sure you dont turn the box off while flashing.

Wasn't sure at the time if I was going to get the XIS or the X3. Pretty dumb though your right!. Hey thanks for the info. ? I know it has to be in E:\ so is it in a folder or by itself
Post by: appleguru on October 02, 2004, 07:03:00 PM
BTW, if you need to use XBMC...
Go to Files... hit the black button and navigate to E. That will set your destination as E:.
Then hit the black button again to go back to source... navigate to your file on D:. Press the white button, and when it asks you if you want to copy choose "yes".... Should work

i know this isnt really the right forum, but i figured i'd ask since you just mentioned it. whats the differencne between an 06 and 67 bios. i'm assuming you mean 4983.06 and 4983.67.
thanks for your input.

67 is for drives > 256GB; 137GB will go to F; the rest to G:.
