Title: Killed Chip Bios, What I Gonna Do Now?
Post by: Heimdall on March 28, 2011, 10:59:00 AM
Buy or borrow another chip. Use that to boot your Xbox, then once it has booted you can hotswap your original chip onto the Xbox and reflash it.

Do you know anyone else with a chipped xbox?

No, not without building a custom flashing setup or desoldering the flash chip and using a standard chip flashing rig - both of which will cost you more than a replacement chip.

With chip off, does xbox boot? You could forget about the chip and softmod the console instead if that works.

There are lots of instructions for installing a modchip. You'll need to get a pinheader for your current chip so you can hotswap it after you've installed the new chip. See the Diagrams / Manuals section for the DuoX2 at the bottom of this table.

Take a picture of the chip and the motherboard and show us what you meant. I am curious how a chip can be glued onto the motherboard

Okay, I finally unsolder this crap.
Now xbox boots, I saw green "X" and ... error 16

I took a photo of this :http://img843.imageshack.us/i/pic110405203251.jpg/

Your easiest solution is to do as ldotsfan suggested - use xboxhdm to softmod your hard drive. As your disk is locked you'll need to hotswap, or use your eeprom copy and xboxhdm to unlock the disk first. Use one of the two links in my signature  - Softmod with hotswap and Softmod with eeprom.

I'm so sorry...

I've read these two topics in your signature, but I dont still dont know what to do...

I have non original hdd and cdrom, I remember, that hdd wasn't locked sleep.gif
And I have no copy of my EEPROM, maybe it still is in xbox's hdd, maybe not...

So, what I gonna do in this situation ?
Sorry, I'm really noob (and don't know this language very well  sad.gif  I'm only studying)

P.S. - I can attach my xbox's HDD to my computer if it is needed

OliG, thanks dude!

Tomorrow I'll be able to make this, but I'm not sure, that the burned disc will boot
(Slayer's Installer not boot.) dry.gif

And yeah, I need some instructions how to get needed files and burn them into disc.

Hope I write understandable text.

you will need to create a bootable CD with xboxHDM by ltools (where did ltools go??) including the eeprom data file (BIN). This is all explained in the above guide


The disk is booted from a PC with the XBOX HDD attached to the PC not the XBOX (you will need a PC with IDE on it though). You boot the Linux boot disk, goes to a menu and then you lock the HDD from there. Then you should be able to boot the HDD from the XBOX.

But I would't worry about that bit yet, just try and read the eeprom. Then you can look at building a xbhdm boot disk.

I will see if I can find a premade image for you but you will need to add your eeprom.bin file from you xbox on to the ISO.

It's a lot to take in so take it one step at a time.

OliG,
ok, it will be good, if  you get the ISO.

But I have one question, if I have softmod, will xbox be able to run ...
I dunno how to say it, pirate disks (?)
Does xbox use dashboard on hdd when he boot a game ?

Oh, I remember, that I've stored xbox's eeprom on it's HD
it's possible to see it's FS ?

No, or yes. Depends on which dashboard you mean, and how you are launching the game.
