Title: Tsop Flashing On v1.2-1.5
Post by: sarcoptic on December 31, 2003, 03:05:00 AM

Tsharkou, sounds like the August model could of been a 1.3 while the Septemeber one was a 1.4.  All in all the 1.4 one is dead.  The 1.4 contains the focus video encoder which needs either the Evox M7 or X2 4979.06 to work.  The 1.3 has a conexant video encoder and this is why the older X2 4977 worked fine.  Definitely check the guide for confirmation of this.  Version Guide

The safest bet is to use ONLY THE LATEST BIOS!  In other words, keep M7 and/or 4979, delete the rest, otherwise sooner or later you're going to flash a 1.4/1.5 machine with D6 or an early X2 BIOS, and you're screwed.

Hey guys I need some help!!  I'm trying to flash a 1.3 when I type   ./raincoat -p 256bios.bin   it shows: DETECTED: Hynix - HY29F002 (256K) Programming with 256bios.bin...unable to open file  The file I'm using is  007AUF_RAIN0501_M7_256 any suggestions!!!

You need to specify the name of the BIOS file as a parameter when you run the file with ./raincoat -p

make sure that the BIOS file exists. Try ls to get a directory listing.

If your BIOS file is called BIOSNAME.BIN then use ./raincoat -p BIOSNAME.BIN to flash it.

w00t I just succesfully flashed a 1.5 with a winbond w49f020t using raincoat .51 and only the two point on the top of the board. I cut 2 very smaller pieces of the lead off a resistor I had sitting around and used them as tiny jumpers between the pads since I have read sooo many reports of people soldering this connection multiple times to get a goot joint. Worked first try! Thanks to everybody on this forum who helped develop these hacks!

Hi everyone,

FYI I successfully TSOP flashed a v1.3 Xbox with Winbond W49F020T-90B chip on it using raincoat 0.501 + X2 4979 bios without needing to bridge the bottom points and also without using this line in raincoat.conf :

Flash = 0x0900,"Winbond W49F020T",0x40000

Chip has been recognized as Winbond - W49F020.

Thx to the Xbox community.

Flashed a 1.2 or 1.3 version using raincoat007 (had to replace two files whit the .501, raincoat and raincoat.conf for it to flash) and only solder the tow top points. Had a Hynix - HY29F002 flashed with M7. MFD of xbox 6/29/03.

Just flashed TSOP on an ST chip on a 1.4 XBOX.  Evo M7 bios.

I thought the evox installer would be so much better, but after many unsuccessful tries with the evox installer and the old raincoat from #xbins, I successfully did it when i upgraded to .501.

Props to whoever made that!

I don't think the one from xbins was the .501. I'm having trouble finding the .501 as the one on SourceForge appears to be .5 and looks like this;

raincoat-0.5+.tar.gz

This file appears to open in Winzip or Winrar, but neither seems to maintain the directory structure. All files extract to one folder. I've tried placing them in the directory structure created by the raincoat from xbins, but there's no "etc" directory in that one. I created an etc sub directory off the raincoat folder and placed the raincoat.conf file in it. When I run it, it still acts like it's missing.

What I think some of us need is a directory tree that shows where to place each file.

I have two xbox's that I bought at the same time. They appear identical even down to the tsop. One flashed fine with the raincoat from xbins, this other one I can't get to flash. The error suggests that I add it to the etc/raincoat.conf file which I've already did to the best of my knowledge.

Any help on unpacking this tar.gz file properly may help as well.

EDIT: Found; http://dwl.xbox-scen...ncoat-0.501.zip

-This new file does not require an "etc" sub-directory. I put all the files in the raincoat directory using the old structure from the xbins package. Finally after 1 1/2 weeks, it's flashed.

Thanks.

I have a 1.3 box with winbond chip in it, I tried using the mecheurasia and I added the winbond flash to the ini. and it would lock-up on the erase.

I read all these posts and found that the mechraincoat will work, but when I try to save the mechraincoat to my mem card it's too large.  Its about 10 blocks to big, what am I supposed to do?

Is there another mech raincoat I can use?

Hi all,

Ok, it's my first post, but I just wanted to thank all of you posting here, because you enabled me to do a TSOP with my brand new 1.5 (Midtown/halo/bundel) box.

My Box had a Winbond (W49F020R-90b) chip, a new Phillips drive and a WD HDD.
The kernel was a 5530.01 and the dash was 5659.03. I downgraded the dashboard, used hotswap to install the fonts and booted linux via a signed EVOX-Dash from the mech-raincoat install package (rename and sign the evovxdash.xbe!!! in the package).

I did not solder the points but used conductive ink instead (in german that is called "Silberleitlack" in case you wonder). Used a toothpick to apply it. Pretty delicate thing to do. I connected only the Top 2 ones.

There is really nothing that can go wrong, because you can test it, if it's done correctly by using the raincoat tool (telnet from a windows box into your linux-xbox) and do a backup of the bios first! ("./raincoat -r backup.bin -v") If it tells you that it found a chip other than 0xFF and 0x09 than it is a save bet that it will work.

That was my experience. Hope I could help in case you wonder if u could flash one of those new boxes.

Cheers!

FIND RAINCOAT .7 w/ 251 TSOPs    Run it   and VOILA, IT WORKS    



It's about time.

So, could I bridge the points with some wires? I have a Winbond chip (haven't noted down the number...) - how much space does that chip have?

Post by: sushi_lover_1 on May 15, 2004, 08:17:00 AM

I just flashed a 1.4 yesterday with success.  I did my research over two days using this forum (AWESOME by the way) and other sites.  After anal-yzing and accumulating everything that could apply to my setup I did it.  Here's what I did.

1.  First my Xbox specs: Manuf. Date Dec 2003 (version 1.4), ST chip

2.  Downloaded TSOP flashing guide from this site found here

Rather than using the 007 with Raincoat from xbins, I used the highway_007mech_flash_pack from Eurasia and did NOT upgrade raincoat to version 0.7, unless of course this pack is version 0.7 I'm not sure.

3.  One problem encountered, the first time I tried the actual flashing part, I got a "not writeable" error.  Solution: I added additional TSOP types to the evox.ini in the highway_007mech_flash_pack.  Here is the list I used

Flash      = 0x04BA,"ALX2+ R3 FLASH",0x40000
Flash      = 0x01d5,"AMD - Am29F080B",0x100000
Flash      = 0x015b,"AMD - Am29LV800B",0x100000
Flash      = 0x01da,"AMD - Am29LV800B",0x100000
Flash      = 0x01a4,"AMD - Am29F040B",0x80000
Flash      = 0x378c,"AMIC - A29002",0x40000
Flash      = 0x04a4,"FUJITSU - MBM29F040C",0x80000
Flash      = 0x04d5,"FUJITSU - MBM29F080A",0x100000
Flash      = 0xadb0,"Hynix - HY29F002",0x40000
Flash      = 0xadd5,"Hynix - HY29F080",0x100000
Flash      = 0xc236,"MACRONIX - MX29F022NTPC",0x40000
Flash      = 0x89a6,"SHARP - LH28F008SCT",0x100000
Flash      = 0x20B0,"ST - 29F002",0x40000
Flash      = 0x20f1,"ST - M29F080A",0x100000
Flash      = 0xbf61,"SST - 49LF020",0x40000
Flash      = 0xbfb6,"SST - 39SF020",0x40000
Flash      = 0xda0b,"Winbond - W49F002U",0x40000
Flash      = 0xda8c,"Winbond - W29f020",0x40000

4.  I replaced the HD with a 120 GB Western Digital bought at Best Buy ($79 after mail-in rebates).

5.  I used Slayer's EvoX v2.3 Auto-installer found, well, found on the web somewhere.

6.  A couple of notes:  After booting the flashed xbox successfully the first time, I unsoldered the two bridge points.  Also, I have the original 007 AUF disk (bought used at Blockbuster for $10).

Research took about 2 days.  Actual flashing from opening Xbox to closing with 120 GB HD took about 1.5 hours; this includes soldering/unsoldering  two bridges and installing Slayer's Auto-Install.

Good luck to others!

It's been said before, but I just thought I'd re-itterate, on the 1.2 and 1.3 xbox, the bottom point are EXACTLY THE SAME as the top points a little to the left of the TSOP.  it is never necessary to do all three, the bottom points will only have an effect if you haven't done the top ones correctly.

The benefit of this is that if you have a ohmeter or multimeter, the bottom pair gives a foolproof place to check that you've soldered that top pair correctly.  This is a little pointless though, since following the traces for both pairs on the top give very simple places to do the checks anyway.

If you've checked with a multimeter, but still get a 'flash not writable' error in evox, chances are you're missing the line in evox.ini which identifies your chip.  Either try and hunt down the specific line to add, or (as I do) just add all the following lines (you can't have too many!):

Flash = 0xadb0,"Hynix HY29F002",0x40000
Flash = 0xada4,"Hynix HY29F040A",0x80000

Flash = 0xdab6,"Winbond W39L040",0x80000
Flash = 0xda3d,"Winbond W39V040A",0x80000

Can't find where to put them in the evox.ini file?  Look for similar lines, add them next to or instead of he ones already there.

Finally I'd just like to say that using just wire is not really a feasible way of bridging the points (there's nothing wrong in priciple, but getting the wire held in such a way as to make the contact without soldering it?  I can't think how... and if it came loose half way through a flash you've totally screwed things up!).

If you absolutely positively don't want to use a soldering iron, you can instead invest in some condictive ink - I've found the best place to find this stuff in the UK is in rear windscreen heater repair kits, I've never actually tried this, but a few people swear by it.

If you're after something a little more down and dirty, you'll find the lead from a pencil is conductive, if you can draw a dark enough line joining the points, you should find it will make the conection for you - this is not made easy by the waxy coating on the surface of the board though, you might want to go at the area VERY carefully with a stanley knife or razor blade to see what you can do about the coating first, even then I'm not sure it's even possible - something to try while the shops are shut though.

But the main thing is, if you are having problems get hold of a multimeter and test - if the multimeter says it's fine you know it's software.  Hope this helps.

Hey jinn,

Are you sure you use an X2 bois file?

Maybe you created a backup first and then wrote this backup bios onto the xbox???

Try puting an other bios.bin.

Good luck.

Hello,

I have a request for all those who flashed their TSOP on a v1.2/v1.3 xbox.
There seems to be alot of questions about it.

Please tell me what brand your TSOP chip was and which points you soldered.


Thanks.

2 xbox 1.3s one had a winbond the other a ST both flashed with 007 raincoat package ST chip required latest cvs build of Raincoat to specify which config file to use as had to add the ST value.

could you please tell me which points you soldered on each ?

some images - so you can easier explain which points you soldered:





2 points on top

and some told me some brands (ST?) needs the points "W" link on this diagram.

I have flashed 1 V1.2 with Winbond TSOP, and 3 V1.3 with Winbond also, using raincoat. I used those 2 points at the top of the mobo.

Several succesfull st 1.3, I have been using cheapmod on all the winbounds ive had so far, untill today.......

winbound w9f020T - 90B

Tried the following lines:

Flash      = 0xda8c,"Winbond W49F020",0x40000
Flash       = 0x0900,"Winbond W49F020T",0x40000
Flash       = 0x0900,"Winbond W49F020",0x40000

The first one jams up at "erase" and the second 2 say "flash not writable"

Im using all 3 jumper points

have done 3 now.. don't know what the differences are between 1.2 and 1.3  but..

used raincoat 5.01 (conf edited file)  

first one I did was a st chip.. and did not flash when I only did the top points..
once I did all 3 it worked perfectly..

so from there on I have done ALL three spots.  (hope that can't screw something down the road.)

anyway all work fine.
other 2 were winbond chips .

I have just modded a 1.2 xbox here...

Since my solder iron is not so easy to work with I wanted to make it the easiest for me.

So I used 1 point in the front, near the R7D10
After that I ONLY! solder the back point pretty near the R7R1.

Then it worked...

After looking on the top solder point it was pretty easy to mess things up, so if your solder skills are like mine, USE THE BACK! The points are electricaly the same (I have ohmed them)

Doesn't matter how many there are, the only chip you're interested in is the rectangular one near the LPC port (with legs at each end), outlined in white.

First I'd liketo say you guys are geniuses, with that said I'm sure you're assuming I'm going to say something stupid, and here it is...

I'm trying to flash what I assume is a v1.3, it was made in may of 2003, I'm trying to flash using the 007evox and am having no success, I soldered the points mentioned in this article --> http://xemulation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4 and don't seem to be having any luck, any suggestions as what I should try next?  Also what is the little diode do that is next to the top solder point, it came off, but I put it back on...  Could this be an issue? :uhh:

I tried to flash it with the Evox flash Util but I could't manage. (it will frezze on erase. Even with build 3752)
Here is what I did

You NEED to Solder all 3 points





U need raincoat ver 5+ Raincoat
U need to check that this is included in the raincoat.conf file
Flash = 0xda8c,"Winbond - W49F020",0x40000

remeber to place the .conf file in the /etc/ folder

now you should be able to flash the unit.
if it still says 0x00, 0x09 error. it's probaly the soldering at the bottom.
(it was in my case and  it's a real bitch to solder)

I flashed the bios Evo D6 256kb file.

hope this help

Post by: littlejonny on August 29, 2003, 05:37:00 PM

well, i worked out the exact problem, with help from all......

evolutionx only uses only block ersase to reflash chips.  Note #2 on the raincoat .5 release notes points out that that raincoat also uses entire chip erase in addition to the block erase as a safety precaution.  The new winbound chips found on the 1.2/1.3 can only be reflashed using entire chip erase.  This is why evolutionx does not work and raincoat does on these models............oh well now im going to have to learn to use linux, what a shame :D

Why do you NEED to solder all three points?  The bottom pair on the 1.2/1.3 are connected to the top pair nearest the TSOP.

I NEVER, EVER, EVER solder the bottom points on 1.2/1.3 machines.  This always, ALWAYS, ABSOLUTELY 100% WORKS.  If you need to solder the bottom ones, it's 'cos you've screwed up when soldering the ones nearest the TSOP.

I've had a gander at the 0.5+ using a hex editor, seems pretty much the same as 0.5 (refers to /etc/raincoat.conf).

If you have trouble, try 0.501 (download it from the link in my sig below...)

I just flashed a 1.3 today with the Hynix chip.  I only bridged the top two points.  Flash went fine with MA and evox.  I did have to add the line

Flash = 0xadb0,"Hynix - HY29F002",0x40000

in evox.ini to get it to flash.

Title: Tsop Flashing On v1.2-1.5
Post by: DaShiZNiT on September 10, 2003, 05:21:00 AM

scored me a Samsung too, but all I did was solder the two topside points, and updated my evox.ini with

Flash = 0x20b0,"ST - 29F002",0x40000

at first it said flash unwriteable, then I knew that I had to update the *.ini

so whats the bottom point all about? I checked it with a meter and it seems to be the same as one of the top points..

Is it safe to assume there is no raincoat exploit for Mechassult like there is for 007?

Or even an app that I can select from evox (edit the ini) and use that to flash?

Update, I have one of the winbond chips without having a 007 original.  So I simply copied the raincoat section of the 007 hack to the Mechassult hack and ran raincoat to flash my tsop (needs a full chip erase).  works great!!!

as said previously... raincoat/linux rules!!!!!

/EDIT #2
OK it's official, I am an idiot.  Yes 0x09, 0x00 indicates bad solder, as already discussed.  There are TWO solder points on the top (the last one I did only had 1).  Do both of them and it works.  (duh!)

xbox v1.3 TSOP: Hynix HY29F002TT-90
manufactured date: 6/16/2003
soldered top two points only
flashed TSOP with Evox without problems.

I could not get it to flash using raincoat even after editing the config file.  It seems like everyone suggests downloading the raincoat exploit and then updating it, but it was much easier for me to just modify the AUF with Evox .ini file to include the newer chipsets.  If raincoat is so easy to use then why is an updated version not already on #xbins?  I must have gotten something mixed up when trying to upgrade it myself, so I'm glad the AUF w/ Evox worked for me.

i used the contents of the 007 hack, (lunix xbe, and raincoat)
re-asigned it using xbedump (to fonts)
then u can run this normally ..
then ya can run raintcoat, and hey presto

(thius JUST using the HDD swap method, and the font exploit .)

as for why we all use raincoat, this is because on winbond chips (i think its just them)
evox can not flash them because evox can only do a block erease
but this chip can not be erased like this, only a chip erase ..
and this is were raincoat comes in
this can do a chip erase.. thus the ONLY choice
well from what i know ... but PLEASE correct me if im wrong

if u need any help with this PM me as i dont float down to this section much

EvoxM7  **256k

Works like a champ!

I only had one minor glich along the way.. I first looked at a diagram posted for 1.3 that only had the top R7D10 points in view and circled and another for the bottom.  At first i was like wtf??  went over my work, read a bit more and realized 2 "SETS" of points.. Doh!

Guys
I understand that perhaps my question was asked somewhere else but still -
does anyone know - is it possible to flash tsop (winbond) with evox. I saw that a lot of people did it with raincoat, but as I understood it require original game 007, which I dont have. I hate the idea to go and buy that game only for 1 time use. or am I wrong and there is no need for iriginal 007 game?
i have 1.4 (i guess), soldered homebrew 29 mod to it with evD6. It is loading ok. but cant flash tsop. I think it should be possible. if anyone did that - please tell that magic spell.
or if there is a way to flash tsop without original game - tell that instead.
thanks in advance

I think it should be possible. if anyone did that - please tell that magic spell. or if there is a way to flash tsop without original game - tell that instead. thanks in advance

to flash with homebrew u need to boot with homebrew then u need to remove the wires... i believe u can just cut the power and gnd and shit... ONE BY ONE AT THAT

uhm then u flash
homebrew is basically just another TSOP..

now as for whoever wanted the mech assault with raincoat?

i made a save in the past....  but dont have it anymore (on an xbox somewhere)

i have however made a save recently to get ready for a bunch of xbox's im going to do but i havent had the luck to test it yet



just a fair warning though.. when u use mechassault saves with raincoat from my experience if u send it to the xbox hdd.. load the save.. even if u dont play somehwo the game changes it.. cause once u load the save again raincoat doesnt bootup

so everytime u load the save u gotta send it to the xbox hdd again.. can get to be a bitch when trying to flash the tsop

I've moded nine V1.0 boxes using an enigmah and flashing the TSOP with Evox (29 wires down, flash, 29 wires off).  Then I did a three using of V1.0's using a cheapmod with the hacked matrix bios (to flash the tsop).  Finally, I did another two V1.0 using the AUF 007 hack with a slightly modified minilinux.  So, that was 14 boxes and not once did I see anything but V1.0's; until last night.

Yesterday I had two friends ask me if I would flash their boxes.  They were both the xmas bundles with MechAssault Live.  Surprise, surprise, I open them up and they are V1.2/1.3's.  I though I was toast, but reading this forum and following the diagram A.Z.BEST® posted, I was able to flash them without issue.  Of course, I had to add the new raincoat stuff to my 007 AUF image, but all worked well.  

I am one of the many fortunate benefactors of the genius and hard work of others.  I have no idea how the new flash points were found on these new boards.  Moreover, I haven't the slightest clue what was changed in raincoat to make it work with the V1.2+ boxes. Luckily for me, there are people who have the skills required to figure these things out and the willingness to share their findings with the rest of us.  Thank you.  This is awesome.

My v1.4 /1.5 reports error 21 when I run Mechassault gamsave +Evox , is there another way of flashing this with still the Mechassault  game disc. (MechAssault is the older type disc)


Is it possible to flash the xbox using the old type 007 AUF method?

Can I do this the same way as AUF007 using MA (telnet over rather then Evox)?


Thanks

Okee, since i don't have a memcard or 007 dvd, i ripped the executables from the 007 hack and signed them with the font exploit. It ran and flashed Perfect, the best way to flash without 007 dvd.

Hello, I have a request for all those who flashed their TSOP on a v1.2/v1.3 xbox. There seems to be alot of questions about it. Please tell me what brand your TSOP chip was and which points you soldered. Thanks.

I believe my XBox is a V1.3, definately a Winbond TSOP chip.  I tried the common advice of only having to solder the topside two points.  It never worked.  I tried to re-solder about 5 times, all according to spec, tested with a multimeter, never worked.  I always got the unrecognized device 0X0900 error when using raincoat to flash.  Finally I took the motherboard out and soldered the two points on the bottom along with the top two.  Boom, works the first time.  Used the Mech Assault FatX images, ozxmemory util to burn the images to a 128 meg thumb drive, homemade USB cable to attach the XBox and thumb drive, transferred savegame to XBox hard drive, used exploit to boot into linux, ftp new bios and raincoat to XBox, run raincoat to back up the original bios, do it again to flash new bios, done.  Just solder both sets of points if you get the 0X0900 error.

thank god the box was ok.  I turned off the power poped out the board. checked my soldering 2 ON TOP looked at the 3rd on and soldered it DOES NOTHING IN EVOX. i un soldered it and tried only the 2 top. SAME thing happends EVOX does not work. Ok I then ran and got a raincoat and did the old method with a M7 256 bios.bin and i logon in at root and ran to flash the baster. I typed in the command and BAM not even 1 min. it flashed........
