well anyways
i dono how old this post is but whatever
ive got a 1.3 xbox with a winbond tsop.. all was well i flashed it using audio exploit
it was good for months, i got a free x2.3lite, so i decided id flash the tsop back to retail
well, i didnt know which bios was retail for my xbox (used 4034).. its a 1.3 w/ sammy/wd hdd/winbond 256k tsop, 4920 dash
well after flash tsop frags
my mod works fine though!!!
heh
anyways,... im reading up on this tsop flashing with x2 mods..
will it work for 1.3's? i mean the only difference is the flash file for evox and the fact the chips 256k...
or am i forced to only a homebrew?
hit me up

The technique used to flash the tsop booting from LPC, requires that some of the code in the tsop be intact. The xbox boots from the modchip, but it still requires that some of the code be 'loaded', well merely tested, from the tsop.
Thus, you for sure can flash the tsop, but you may not be able to fix it.
Give it a try and see if it works.

This is a very important distinction!
The "loader" vectors thru to the TSOP's kernel, so if your TSOP is hosed you'll be SOL -UNLESS- you did not get it all and can somehow enable say another bank (on the older Xboxes).

(the savegame from the eurasia site ) but i fragged up the tsop! it was an 256 k bios but i think an old one?!? equal! it is fragging (green- reboot - green -reboot - green red green red......) ok after one moment of panic i get the x2.1pro from my good old v1.0 xbox an flashed an evox m7 256 k bios on it! get that thing in the xbox, solder d0 on the bottom of the mb. ok not booting searched found the lframe and started praying! solderd that LFRAME (yeah it worked so i am not a noob) back in game i thought tried to flash with slayers auto installer and 007auf but it didnt work. ok and my question know is what are my posibilities what is that evoxmatrixtsop bios doing?? and will it work on v1.4 ? ps: are the new tsop like the old one 4x256kb ms bios or is there just 1x256?? ?? nice asm code but am i right that it just the timing for ground an a15?? and nothink else?? |
The evoxmatrixtsop is only for use on xbox 1.0-1.2 and only when you allow the modchip or 12c508 code that is part of this forum, control a15.
"with slayers auto installer and 007auf but it didnt work."
Thats because it thinks your trying to flash the x2.1pro !!!
Simply put, you WONT be able to fix your tsop using an LPC modchip. You can only flash the TSOP if the TSOP contents are intact. Once you fuck up the tsop you cant fix it with the LPC.
Only fix, 29wire modchip.

A temporary fix, use any lpc modchip. IT will run perfectly fine, but you just wont be able to use the tsop.
stinger151 the reason is that the trick used to flash the tsop when booting from the lpc requires that the tsop be intact, because the xbox must be able to boot from the tsop. It boots from LPC then a15 is adjusted and is done at the right time such that the xbox essentially loads the tsop but actually booted from the LPC.
Its not relaed to lframe.

He's a hint to anyone who's a little iffy with the timing. Get a metronome (or use one online, I used this : http://www.metronomeonline.com/ . Set it to 120 (half sec a tic). Start tapping your foot with it, now turn on the xbox on one click, and take the jumper off/hit the switch on the next one. Worked perfectly for me. Human timing can be quite precise, just gotta get rhythm.
Good luck, this stuff does work, quite well.

I was thinking maybe install x2.3lite+ then connect programmer to chip protect switch on and flash the onboard tsop through the xecuter 2.3 lite + chip?
I dont want to do this and mess up anything so I was just asking for feedback.
I want to be able to do this with out opening the xbox because I guess my hands are to big for soldering on the motherboard any help would be appreciated.

Anywho, I flashed my 1.0 using a MechAssult crack from Mecheurasia w/ a 1MB 4983.06 Bios. It seemed to be going fine... saved the old bios... flashed new bios... powered off. Booted up the first time and the light flashed green a couple times (no other colors at all) and then a solid green. I get the couple green flashes and the solid green every time, no video, no sound, no nothing.
I read in here somewhere that this "flash TSOP with LPC" only works if there is a usable bios on the TSOP... how do I find out if there is anything on my TSOP.
ps. i've used the 3 wire trick to boot off the different parts of the 1MB bios with no results.
Please help.

| Can you flash the TSOP using the first method with an Aladdin XT |
why not use your xbit to ftp 007withraincoat.v7 save then get hold of 007 turn the chip off and use the exploit to flash the tsops? and if you dont have 007 just ftp a exploit to the box and use that....
the only real reason i can see to use this is to repair a broken tsops which you cant do unless you have a 1mb tsops with one good bios left and you could still solder a switch to the working bank then flash with a exploit and raincoat...

Is there a way around this with direct adressing from raincoat?
Post by: Zanzang on August 20, 2005, 08:20:00 PM
There is a bios on the chip, but I am pretty sure it is corrupt (I flashed it with the switch in the on position...that may have messed it up), because my box is fragging on the first 512k, the last 512k, and on the whole 1024k chip.
There may be a working 256k, but I don't think that is likely since I flashed it with a 512k bios.
Anyways, I'm getting a chip to make my box functional again, and I wanted to know if a Duox2 would be able to flash my TSOP, and how I would do it.
If a Duox2 won't work, then what chip could I buy instead?
Thanks.

pls no questions - if you now what you are doing all your answers will be on this page
This hasn't really been tested and may need adjusting - but it basically controls d0 and a15 similar to the matrix for flashing your tsop

some info that this code was based on (found on xboxhacker.net)
Programming the Onboard TSOP using a X2PRO or X2LITE.
This can be done and has been done on 1.0 boxes.
1) Connect TSOP Write lines (See matrix instructions)
2) Ground A15 (T1 on the matrix instructions)
3) Program X2Pro with EvoxMatrixTSOP bios
4) Turn power on and after 1/2 second turn DIP switch 4 off
5) Wait for EvolutionX to come up
6) Remove A15 Ground
7) Use EvolutionX to Flash a 1 meg bios to TSOP
Make sure your Evox xbe is named and placed somewhere that the EvoxMatrixTSOP bios can find it. I used a CD-RW with Slayer's 2.0 disk and Flashed 4974 onto the TSOP.
Look at the TSOP Flash Matrix Instructions floating around for pin locations etc.
This works with both the PRO and LITE but ONLY on 1.0 boxes until a EvoxMatrixTSOP bios is released for 1.1.
BTW, After you remove the A15 ground but before you flash the TSOP, if you use EvolutionX to backup your Box, you will have a copy of the orignal bios from your box. But you must do steps 1-6 first before you do the backup or you will just backup the X2.

Just remember to use a boot CD or have Evox on your hard drive in a place the EvoxMatrixTSOP bios can find it. Slayer's 2.0 disk works great for this, Just flash the TSOP with the Bios on his disk, then you can copy a different Bios to your harddrive and flash that.

The Lite is a little scary to use, you must program it with the EvoxMatrixTSOP bios to do this. If you can't get Evox to Boot (it may take a few tries to get the timing down.) then you may not beable to reprogram the Lite back to a work Bios. You can't run a box with the MatrixTSOP bios. It is only used to flash the TSOP.
But it does work. Several people have used this method with a Lite and Flashed the TSOP.

Box fires up with any bios but the Matrix_tsop. flip dip number 4 ...1/2 second into boot it goes into the on/off cycle mode with red /green flashing button. Timed the switch 4 a hundred times. Am I just missing something? Oh and I barowed a buddies Matrix and the whole proccess acted exactly the same. also I was doing the t1 to ground. Any help is apriciated:) |
has to be a working bios on the onboard rom to do wthis method
only other way to fixed a hosed rom is to take it off and programme manually (but of course 99% of you are not going to do this or dont have the tools/skills)
so basically you just need to fit a mod and use the bios on this
if you want to use XBL then i recommend selling the box (with the mod) and getting a new one
perhaps not wanted you wanted to hear tho bro ?

The led doesn't work real well because I think a 220ohm resistor might be a bit high. I will look into that later on tonight
^^^ drives 3.3v at 15ma and no problems so far. The chip uses 10ma.
Hippo, your code does every thing your say it does.
^^^^ Finally a man of reason. To disable the chip pull 22 and 24 high and use 10k to ground same as the homebrew switch I'm thinking. That's why I reserved pin 2 it's already set up on the pcb's I had made up. It's all tested on XBL thopugh and okay as is.

I 100% agree with you
We've been saying this from day one ("we" are Xecuter btw in case you hadn't realised)
This is simply for those that want to screw around with it
However it still does not detract away from the fact that the post you started really was nothing to do with this particular thread - the code you've made is child play but we never included it on the Xecuter design due to the fact that software enable / disable isnt what we feel "hard" secure - so people may have logged onto XBL with their mods still enabled. Don't say this is crap as its happened to many many people - you only have to read around.
Keep up your input to the scene.

I know you by reputation and I wasn't inlying for even a second that you personally wouldn't know how to do it. I simply meant that anyone who doesn't know how to create an asm file from a hex wouldn't know what to do with an asm anyway.
In his zipped file he also has a pdf tutorial and so on which is the reason for the size of the file.
There was no offence intended.

I know you by reputation and I wasn't inlying for even a second that you personally wouldn't know how to do it. I simply meant that anyone who doesn't know how to create an asm file from a hex wouldn't know what to do with an asm anyway.

| I have a couple of questions concerning TSOP flashing. What additional functionality do you get from flashing your TSOP vs having an X2Pro? What is the TSOP? People have said it's the onboard ROM. Is that the same as the onboard ROM that contains the MS Xbox Bios? |
No additional functions other then you no longer need the X2Pro installed to play backups, imports, etc... But also No more XBL
Yes it is reffering to the On Board Ms Bios. Its not a Rom but rather a flash rom chip.
On a side note, if there is still a need for this to be hosted, contact me, I will host it on my page.

Just 1 question though Ubergeek........
According to my calculation the D0 line will be disconnected after approx 1/4 second not 1/2.
In the Long_ subroutine you use the 8th bit of TMR0 to trigger the Decrease count register, so this means only bits 0 to 6 (0 to 127 in decimal) are counted in TMR 0.
This means for D0:
(t0pre * TMR0 * Count register) / Pic instruction clock (1Mhz or 1000000)
(255*128*8) /1000000 = 0.261120 seconds, which is only 50% of what you state on the file.
Obviously the quick fix is to change the count register to 16, however I am just curious. Is the 1/4 second correct?
The A15 line disconnects after about 43 seconds, so that seems fine.
Regards,
PsiDOC

| dude, all this shit seems so complicated for the average..(noob = me) user. isnt there a detailed "step-by-step" guide for flashing the tsop with just and x2lite..and not the x2pro? |
I think the real question is that if you already have an x2lite, or a pro, or any solder-in mod ... why would you want to flash your TSOP, unless your box is already banned from live. Then when Xbox-Next comes out, your box will have no resale value. Just my .02.

yeah there is look at PhoenixBiosLoader 1.3 it allows you to load the bios trough the ram works great still a few probs with it but it wil be the next best thing to the 007 and soldering the points on the mobo

However - always check the mobo & tsop itself just in case.....
I had a 1.2 that was really a 1.1:
Jan 2003 date, serial ending with 30xxx - but when opened up had this strange thing inside and seal/sticker wasn't tampered with or been opened:
1.1 mobo with the normal single row psu connector
samsung dvd - was reason why I bought it
8gb western digital h/d not the usual 10gb black seagate or better white 10.2gb seagate
(h/d was made in Nov 2002 like samsung dvd was so this must have been some last bit of 1.1 they put together they had lying around)
didn't check the tsop coz fitted cheapmod in there but would have been a 1mb even though the date and the S pack box would have implied this should of been a 1.2 with it's atx psu and 256kb bios
you can flash a 1.1 tsop if it's a commonly used ST or Hynix type of mobo
though I normally fit a lpc cheapmod on there with the header pins on ver 1.1's if the LPC holes aren't usually filled in with solder

| The whole chip? I thought it was just the 4th DIP switch. Well, anyways I tried both. When I turn the chip off after one second it tries to load my TSOP and just frags... (trying to fix bad tsop) Should I keep trying, or is this not going to work to fix the bad tsop? |
I'm looking to fix a bad flash as well. Using a X2.1 Lite.

yes you can use this - X1 used the same basic principal of d0 on enable / off disable |
I'm confused - doesn't this require the EvoxMatrixTSOP BIOS? Which isn't possible with the X1. (Except perhaps with Phoenix?)
