I have a version 1.0 microsoft xbox and I bought a Xenium Gold SP Mod Chip. When I first got it, I installed it and started it up, then the hombrew screen cam up. I went and backed up the two things it tells me to, then I was messing with the settings and made it to where it dont show the homebrew screen at startup and now I can not get it to come back on. The manual that it came with tells me to restart the xbox using the reset button but I could never figure that out, even microsoft didnt know. So now every time I start it up it goes through the xbox startup and then it come to the "Your Xbox requires service" message and has 05 up in the top left hand corner.  I have researched this and could never find out how. Any info would help...thx

error 5 in retial bios is your HDD is unlocked. it needs to be locked to boot retial bios. you will need the XOS to lock it again.

stick with this topic....

it has to have a connection problem somewhere. check the d0 connection and connections on the LPC. make sure the chip is on right. the "X" in "Xenium" is towards the back of the xbox and its on the 12 pins closest to the screw.

let me refrase what I said... When I first installed mine, the led it was red... it booted into XOS I backed up the things I needed to then I unlocked the harddrive then I restarted it then it wouldnt go to the XOS it would only run the xbox startup the go to the system message and cant get back to the XOS to lock it back....


it shouldnt have been red in the first place. to tell you the truth this has me stumped.if it worked before you restarted it should work after implying nothing happened to the connections. try and take the chip and (im assuming) the adaptor. and re-install. you might have to perform a recovery from a disc.

i think they are talking backing up the EEPROM and your stock HDD. the disc im talkign about is a recovery disc you make from a file.

you cant boot the XOS from a disc.

d/l that file from the link and burn it to a disc as an image(.iso). put in xbox and turn it off. boot up with disc in drive.

hmm....either the HDD boots before the DVD drive or the drive is not able to read the media used.

Would taking out the hdd make the xbox still work but make the cdd read the cd? Or can I do something to the hdd to make the cdd read 1st?

And also those little tube things that came with it to make the chip have a better connection... I couldnt figure out how to get those in.... do you have to desolder all of the old stuff off first or do you hammer them in? I just didnt mess with them..

the rivits are for the LPC and they wont fit if the LPC holes have solder in them. i used them but if they dont fit dont worry about them unless you want to desolder and have a risk of frying your xbox.

taking the HDD will cause more problems b/c the xbox will not see it and cause another error. and you cant change the boot sequence.

to run config magic you will have to have the chip running first.

t also have axenium gold.if all your points(adapter and d0) are on properly.maybe you turned on the quick boot option.if you press power it will boot into your designated dash(in your case the ms dash)if you press reset it will bott the xenium os screen.i hope this helps if not i hope you get it fixed because that chip has been great for me.

if all else fails. exchange it for another one from wherever you get it.

not to tread on what you already said but are you 100 % that you got the d0 hooked up right.i ask this because when i first got my chip mine used to come loose all the time.i used a very unorthodox method of ensuring mine would stay in place(super glue laugh.gif )also are you using the d0 on the soderless adapter or the wire that hooks to the chip?

most phillips can read just about any type of disk you through at it.just to be safe burn the recovery disk on a dvd-r put the disk in the drive,turn the xbox off then put the chip on recovery mode and turn it on.it should do the rest

ive used nero to burn it on my pc and had no problems.you downloaded the recovery from team xodus i assume.burn it on the slowest speed your dvdr will burn at to ensure a good burn.i hope this works for ya bro.ive been racking my brain tring to figure it out.next step will be like cl said and exchange the chip i think.

Ok for clarification we need a couple of things.

There is no "reset" button on an Xbox. So when you power on use the DVD eject button, not the power button. Does the chip go into the OS then?

When you try to run recovery, bet the "restore to factory defaults" version this will clear any settings you may have set and you will need to reflash your bios.


What color is the LED on the chip when it boots to the MSdash? If it is red then you definitely have a problem with either the d0 or pins 1 or 5. Remove your adapter and check for continuity between pin 4 and the d0 hook. take some rubbing alchohol and a qtip and go over the LPC to thuroughly clean it.

I tried using the eject to power on... still dont do anything.
When ever I set it to recovery mode... it does nothing.
The led is red... I have checked so many times. But when I booted it up for the first time it was red, but worked...
I have too rubbing alchohol and the qtip and went over all of them... even over by the d0.

I have a question now... If I take the chip out, will it work then? or are the bios still messed up?



What about the continuity between pin 4 and the d0?

The next step would be getting a fiberglass setup pen and trying to clean the LPC better. You can use a small sharp Xacto but have to be extremeley careful not to damage the LPC.

Until you get the chip working and lock the HD you won't be able to use the Xbox.

maybe that is the little piece of info you were forgetting. since you turned on quick boot it shouldnt boot to anything since you havent added a launch item yet. powering on with the eject button should bring you to the XOS. to why its not beats us.

But see... It was working then I unlocked the hard drive and turned quick boot on... then it wouldnt work.. I didnt touch the chip. I dont know... I will keep trying and I will give yall updates... thx for the help tho.


OK but if the recovery is not working and you are getting a red LED and booting the MSdash to the 05 error, you a mistakinga coincedence as a cause. It is just a coincedence that this happened after the auto boot was set. That is why is I suggested the "restore to factory defaults" recovery.bin because it would eliminate the autoboot.

Use the switch on the chip to force recovery, if you ever have run a recovery from the HD then it is best to let it try to find it once, then if it doesn't unplug the HD and run a recovery from disc.
