How to flash the TSOP of ANY version xbox using ANY LPC modchip


first thing first, make sure your xbox can boot with the modchip disabled, if you cant youll need to fix it so you can boot with it disabled (this might include checking the d0 soldering, locking the HD and making sure your MS dashbaord files are intact, but i wont get into those details as that is not the focus of this tutorial)

once you have confirmed your xbox will boot with the chip disabled you will need the following items:

Hardware:

an XBOX (duh)
an LPC modchip (double duh)
a sodlering iron (or window defogger repair kit or conductive ink pen)


Software:

MS 4920 dashboard (run a Live game to upgrade, or grab it off a SlaYers installer)
A dashboard font exploit
Evolution-X dashboard
xbeDump.exe
007savewithraincoat.zip
Raincoat .7 (get it Here)
a compatible bios (suggested: evox M7 or x2 4981)





ok, now on with the tutorial

extract the evoxdashboard and put the xbe file into the same directory as xbedump, now open the command prompt and type

QUOTE
C:\XBOX STUFF\xbedump.exe default.xbe -font


substituting the correct path to xbedump on your computer

rename out.xbe to default.xbe (or whatever your font exploit loads) and put it in a different folder, then do the same with the default.xbe out of the 007savewithraincoat.zip, putting the default.xbe (renamed from out.xbe) back into the UDATA\4541000d\000000000000\ folder

put raincoat and raincoat.conf from raincoat .7 into the Udata\4541000d\000000000000\raincoat folder

in evox.ini put this into the menu section:

QUOTE
[Menu]

Section "Root"
{
   Item "Flash BIOS",ID_Flash_Bios
   Item "Raincoat","E:\UDATA\4541000d\000000000000\default.xbe"
   Item "Backup",ID_Backup
   Item "Settings",ID_Settings
   Item "Reboot",ID_Quick_Reboot
   Item "Power Off",ID_Power_Off
}



now, open up your xbox,
youll have to determine whether you have a version 1.0/1.1 or 1.2+ (if you already know you can skip this part)

look for where the power supply connects to the motherboard, if it looks like this
(IMG:http://www.xbox-scene.com/imageserver2/versions/v10-11_power.jpg)
then you have a 1.0/1.1

if it looks like this
(IMG:http://www.xbox-scene.com/imageserver2/versions/v12_power.jpg)
then you have a 1.2+

for 1.0s and 1.1s you need to remove th emotherboard and solder these points on the top, just put a drop of solder between the 2 points in the circle and these on the bottom, same thing, put a drop of solder between the 2 points
(IMG:http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v32/davicoro/TSOP/1_0_MOBO_POINTS.jpg)

Note: if you have a 1.1 with a sharp TSOP you need some extra steps
Tutorial Here

if you have a 1.2+ you dont need to remove the motherboard, and just solder these 2 sets on top
(IMG:http://img3.photobucket.com/albums/v32/davicoro/TSOP/1_2_TOP.jpg)
inside the circles


now boot your xbox with the chip enabled to load evox (or any dashboard that allows FTP access) backup C:\Fonts to your PC and FTP the eploit .xtf files to that folder, overwriting the existing files

FTP the evox default.xbe and evox.ini to wherever your exploit loads it from (usually C:\default.xbe or C:\Fonts\default.xbe)

FTP the Udata folder from the 007save to E:\ confirm any overwrites

FTP whatever bios you want to use to C:\Bios (or C:\Fonts\Bios)

WITHOUT UNPLUGGING THE XBOX OR REMOVING THE MODCHIP reboot the xbox with the chip disabled, it should load into evox, select Flash Bios and select the bios you FTP'd to C:\Bios it will bring up another screen, if it says Manf 0x09 Dev 0x00 you need to check your soldering, anything else hit Y to flash

it will flash, then shut down, and your all done

if it hangs on Erasing youll need to FTP the bios to E:\Udata\4541000d\000000000000\raincoat\ and select raincoat from the evox menu

now you can either connect with Telnet, or if you have a USB keybaord you can use with your xbox that will work as well

for Telnet make sure your PC is ont eh 192.168.0.* IP range and type Telnet 192.168.0.64 at the Run command, it will connect to the xbox

Login: root
Password: xbox

for keyboard simply plug it in and hit any key to bring up the Linux command prompt

now type cd ../../media/E/UDATA/4541000d/000000000000/raincoat

and then ./raincoat -p <<bios name>>.bin (where <<bios name>> is the name of the bios you FTP'd)

and now your done

According to another tutorial I read there is another jumper on the bottom of the board for 1.2+ xboxs that should be soldered, a friend of mine wanted to flash his TSOP but didn't want to do the soldering so I did it for him and gave him back the box, he then later decided to go with a chip but left the points soldered. I had this additional jumper on the underside soldered as well but his box behaves normally, do you know the significance of that jumper?

(BTW I'm refering to the tutorial on xbox-scene's tutorial section)  <
Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: lordvader129 on February 23, 2004, 06:19:00 PM
its identical to the second jumper on the top of the motherboard (the top one in the picture) so you dont need both, and its easier to not have to remove the motherboard, so i say just do the ones on top, lol  <
Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: A@ron on February 23, 2004, 06:20:00 PM
that jumper you speak of is the same as the one on top. They are vias (port holes through a motherboard) of the top points. If you would like to test this you can use a multimeter or even cover one of the back "points" and then hold the board up to a bright light and you'll see that no light comes through one hole, which is a via to the normal write enable points.

I agree.  Misinformation is definitely more dangerous than no information.  How many clowns have added
Flash=0x0900,"Winbond W49F020",0x40000 to their raincoat.conf then wondered why they still can't flash, or worse why their box FRAGs after flashing?

hmm well the modchip works fine when switched on.

and when i ftp back the orginal msdash and lock the hd the xbox boots fine into msdash with the modchip switched off (its a akira modchip .. tho that shouldnt really matter witch one it is)..

i checked the tsop and its a w 49F020T-90B so that makes it a winbound chip.
i think =)....

ive checked the path in my evox.ini and its right.. but when i choose to launch raincoat from the evox menu it just locksup.. it comes as fare as the evox loading screen but then it stops there..

what am i doing wrong? ... man this has been a late night for me.. =/

EDIT: i checked to be sure that i hade used xbedump -font on the raincoat.xbe file. if i dont use the xbedump i just get error 21 (ofc)... and with the xbedump -font it locksup my xbox. ive been looking/reading in the forums all over the place.. but cant find anyone with the same problem.. or i just dont know what to look for.

I'm so lost... I've been trying for almost 4 hours now to figure this out.

Please let me tell you what I've done and maybe someone can tell me what I've done wrong....

I installed a header pin set for an Xenium modchip and put in the xenium, I've varified it works and already booted Evox with it. Then I soldered the 2 sets of points show in the picture for a 1.2+ xbox, I have a 1.4 btw.

Then I got the newest evox and extracted .xbe file into a folder with the xbe dump program and ran the command line "xbedump.exe evoxdash.xbe -font" which made an out.xbe file that i moved to another folder. Then I got the default.xbe out of the UDATE, raincoat folder and did it again, renaming that out.xbe to default.xbe and putting it back in the raincoat folder...

Then i edited the lines about raincoat into the evox.ini file...

Then I ftp'ed to the xbox and backed up C:\Fonts to my PC, and replaced the XBox.xtf the XBox Book.xtf files with the ones from bigfonts25 making sure I renamed them...

Then I put the UDATA folder from the 007savewithraincoat.zip, which now has the new .xbe file made from xbedump.exe on the E: drive....

And last but not least I put the evoxdash.xbe that was made with xbedump.exe in C:\ and also put the new ini file there.... I was sure if I was suppose to leave it named evoxdash.xbe like it came in Evox or rename it default.xbe, I tried both and both ways the xbox wouldnt boot....

I unhooked the Xenium mod after I had everything uploaded and it just said Error 16......

Can anyone maybe tell me what I did wrong?

Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: lordvader129 on March 06, 2004, 09:54:00 PM
16 is the clock loop, you need to put the xenium back in, load up, set the clock (you may have to put the original xtf files back) the disable (no not remove yet) the xenium, load up and flash, once youve confirmed the flash went well then remove the xenium
Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: kdogg- on March 06, 2004, 10:23:00 PM
Well I got the clock set and its still not working. When I disable the modchip, the ms bios starts to load,  and you can JUST see the MS Dash start to load, the round globe thingy and before the MS Dash can load all the way the xbox resets and does it again.....


Help? =(
Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: kdogg- on March 07, 2004, 12:45:00 AM
Ok i finally got Evox booting with the Xenium unplugged.....

It boots some screen that says like Flash Bios, Raincoat, blah blah and the eject leds flashing red but its loaded....

When I pick Flash Bios, then pick my x2 4981 bios, it says Unknown Flash Type...

Whats this error for and how do I correct it? The 2 connected sets of points have a nice health connection of solder...

Post by: kdogg- on March 07, 2004, 01:28:00 AM
Well you guys can ignore my other posts... I got it.. Ended up having to use Raincoat to flash it.

Thanks for all your help on aolim lordvader, dont think I woulda gotten it without your help =)

The Bert and Ernie Reloaded ended up doing the job... I'm not TSOP flashed with X2 4981....

Thanks again...

now i got it working.

it didnt work with the evoxdash version i was using (V3921) so i had to swap to a older version V1_8_3752 and now it launches raincoat perfect. Dont know why i used V3921 when i had V3935 on my computer.. dont even know why i tried V1_8_3752 instead of V3935.. but who cares now.. it all works now =)

so this is what i found out (chould have found this in the forums if i looked harder)
this tutorial did not work with
1: "Bert_is_Cheating_on_Ernie" font exploit
2: Evox V3921

thx for a great tutorial.. learned alot doing this... keep up the good work ppl =)

its cool man

yeah one more thing.. when i used telnet to logon to raincoat the username and password didnt work.. its case sensitive.. i was using Root and Xbox everytime hehe but that didnt work... it had to be root and xbox ... not really that importent.. just me that was trying to follow everything exactly the way u wrote it =)

so it should be..
login: root
password: xbox

im not trying to be an ass here.. just saying ... not sure what im saying
i think it took me about 20 times before i even tried root and xbox... hehe how slow can i be? =)

anyway.. thx again.. all together it only takes me 30min to do the hole lot now.. from taking the xbox apart.. puting the chip inplace.. doing your tutorial and then swaping hd and installing a dash and some apps.. and then screwing it all together again.. this is gonna save me alot of chips ... beautiful .. =)

FlashKick.. i use "bigfonts25" and that workes perfect for me.. but i think u can use any font exploit apart from "Bert_is_Cheating_on_Ernie".

A little tip for u... allways use raincot when u flash your tsop... and use a 256Kb bios... if u do that u will never get any problems with wrong sized bios for the wrong tsop... raincot will allways fix the size for u... just a tip =)

why use raincoat.07 and waste more time/effort by telneting to your pc when you can just use the eurasia flash 'disc' instead? you don't have to use it as a disc but since there's no download link for the actual files instead of the iso you're going to have to rip it someway and transfer the files to your computer(unless someone put the actaul files to this online somewhere).

after that, just sign the xbe of the ripped eurasia disc with the font exploit setting with xbedump and use this instead of raincoat 07.
only downside is it's based on raincoat 05 so i'm guessing you're going to have to make sure your bios sizes are correct, but that's no problem since that's how it is with evox anyway and still less of a hassle than hooking up your xbox to your machine to flash.

that tutorial has already been written, mine is for epopel who cant find a working copy of any exploitable games in their area



@Tadango

hotswapping wont work (i assume you mean boot with modchip then remove it or disable it) because once the xbox boots the LPC it will always look to teh LPC for the bios, so youll only be able to flash your modchip, not the TSOP, if you have one of those shitty kernels youll need to use a gamesave exploit (or a 29-wire modchip)
Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: XDelusion on April 20, 2004, 09:20:00 PM
I did not understand your tutorial in the least bit. No offence.
It did not tell me what FONT pack to use, because I read a lot of stuff in the forums about certain FONT packs not working with certain model XBOX's, also in your tutorial you stated that I would need to back up my fonts directory on the PC, then copy my hacked ones over and let them overwrite the old ones?

Well I downloaded all the Font packs I could find off XBINS and none of them shared a commen name with the fonts already in the directory.

Also if you are not using a copy of 007, then what is the point of having the 007 game save in place at all? Or are you just suggesting that so that the person has easy acess to the Raincoat Default.xbe?

Finanally, I don't understand how you could possibly boot into Evox after merely copying those files over unless that hacked Font trick is supposed to do it for you. I dunno, I'm not familiar at all with the Font exploit.
Perhaps if you could elaberate a bit more on the subject I may have a means to correct my apparently corrupted TSOP on my 3rd XBOX.

Just wanted to say that I flashed my first tsop with this tutorial today. I've done dozens of modchip installs, and had a spare xbox lying around. Thought i'd give it a go.

I used the bert and ernie reloaded and evox 3921. So anyone who said that these items were the cause of their problems would appear to have other issues.

Thanks again to everyone involved in getting this tutorial sorted.
Title: Flash Any Version Xbox With Any Lpc Modchip
Post by: boowhup on May 20, 2004, 02:55:00 PM
A few things you might need to do (I have just follwed this exact method, works a treat)

REname the evoxdash to default.xbe in youre C:\ directory. from what I understand the exploits load default.xbe in you're C:\ root dir.

I used bigfonts25, put bert and ernie in C:\fonts, then renamed the original font files to .xft (left them in C:\fonts) I didn't bother backing up etc, but I have enough box's and chip's lying around to sort myself out (And I had already unlocked and relocked the HD with config magic so I new if worst came to worse I could figure something out).

From what I could tell it doesn't matter where you put raincoat , I tried it in a few diff places, so Long as you can get to it from evox (put the right path in the ini) From what I gather it needed to be in the udata/xxx/0000/xx whatever directory so it could be accessed by a memory card or some such thing, but since this method doesnt necessarily use the memcard technique at all then it;s ok.

From youre description it sounds like the hack is loading (almost loading msdahboard) , but then service warning , I'm fairly sure it's because of the evoxdash.xbe not being called default.xbe , but I could be mistaken - Make a copy of it and rename the copy default.xbe, won't hurt to have a signed evoxdash.xbe as well I guess)

*** THIS IS MY OPINION ONLY, IT MIGHT PAY TO WAIT FOR OTHERS TO COMMENT BEFORE YOU DAMAGE YOU'RE XBOX FURTHER *** If anyone sees flaw in what I've said please feel free to comment.

Ok Faramisimo.....just flashed 2  ..a hynix with 1mb and a winbond with 256

USED BERT AND ERNIE RELOADED

You place the bios.bin in the raincoat folder

i also put an evox.ini and evoxdash.xbe in the font folder for good measure

on the winbond fitted xbox i got an error 21 on reeboot with the chip disabled
so what i did was replace the 2 folders for xbox live with slayers from his disc
cant remember what folder they r located but if u browse the disc you will find them

after doing this i rebooted with the chip turned off and it went to the raicoat option
..did the rest of the tut and it worked


Folders that need replaced to fix error 21 are xodash and xboxdashdata

a tip when using telnet "make sure u type it exactly as seen"
i didnt leave a space between cd and the ../
started to panic lol

the 1.6 has no TSOP, and the bios chip it does have appears to be a write-once

so if you want to mod a 1.6 your going to need a chip, and it will most liekly always be that way

My problem was that I had the wrong dash I grabbed it off slayers 2.6 if you use slayers 2.5 use restore retail dash 4920.

Also rename bert to Xbox Book.xtf rename ernie to Xbox.xtf place in font folder

Use ernie_and_bert_reloaded it's what worked for me

I tried everything ..and double checked everything but still dont know whats up.  Using a xenium..did all the xbedump stuff...ftp's everything that needed to be(fonts and stuff)..got 4920 dashboard from slayers

... but i get an error code 13...i read this has something to do with the dashboard...can someone point me in the right direction at least...does this have to do with MS dashboard or evox dash that the font is supposed to load.  should i recheck my soldering?  i'm lost and have been at this for DAYS!!!  any help would be greatly appreciated

whats your kernel version? likely its 5713, which will not load 4920 dashbaord, you need to get a newer dashbaord and try UDE

(i assume you mean boot with modchip then remove it or disable it) because once the xbox boots the LPC it will always look to teh LPC for the bios, so youll only be able to flash your modchip, not the TSOP, if you have one of those shitty kernels youll need to use a gamesave exploit (or a 29-wire modchip)

Why is it that when you disable an lpc modchip the xbox still boots to evox? I always thought that it would simply disregard the modchp and boot from the normal xbox bios. This means that it would load the normal xbox dashboard. Why is this not the case?


Are you saying that after you disable the modchip, then turn off the xbox and reboot, it still loads EvolutionX?

-OR-

Do you disable the modchip (while xbox is still on), then do a restart from the EvoxlutionX menu?

Please clarify what steps you take?

ok, ill try that, thanks

"WITHOUT UNPLUGGING THE XBOX OR REMOVING THE MODCHIP reboot the xbox with the chip disabled, it should load into evox"

How does that way work?  Im guessing thats the b01 said with disabling modchip while xbox is one, then rebooting through evox

for 0x09 double/triple/quadruple check your solder points (clean them off completely and solder again) also make sure you are using raincoat .7

for 0xFF make sure you are booting with the modchip removed/disabled and not removing it after booting

umm, i have a nonworking board. but when i put a chip in it it will work with the mod functional, but switch the mod off and it shows no screen. so basically it works with the x2 bios when its on.

well i joined only the bottom spots seeing as how there the only ones that are showing, but when i load raincoat i get a bunch of errors at the top screen.   the box im doing has a shot ethernet port, could that have something to do with it. i cant try flashing from evox because no bios i put in the bios folder shows up.  im burning slayers now and seeing if that does the trick.

if it says Manf 0x09 Dev 0x00 you need to check your soldering


Mine said this, but my soldering was perfect.  I was forced to use raincoat to flash.


Thanks again,
Alex

It is apparent that this won't work with out MS Dashboard 4920. I'm unable to obtain Slayer 2.5 . Would anyone be so kind and share the thing on bitorrent. Or even better, send it?

only if your worried about someone reflashing your bios and messing something up, otherwise just leave then bridged so you can update your bios easily

So, if I just boot, disable the chip, then reboot, then I could go into linux and telnet in and flash it.

Sorry for the noobness - i thought a modchip gave you free access to the xbox?  Surely you can just boot a modded xbox into slayers (or similar) and just run raincoat (or similar) to flash the tsop. Then remove the modchip.

Are the soldering changes essential for a tsop mod to work?
