Basically what you have done is, split the 512K BIOS in half causing it not to work b/c now half the data is missing!!! The only thing you can do is buy a modchip .. and get a good one that works with the 1.3.
Damn, why can't you people read, understand, and follow instructions. More work for you =

But I feel for you, man. I've messed up a v1.3 TSOP, just a bad flash, but same result. Not cool.

| In most cases a mod-chip will be good, but if you want to recover your TSOP you can purchase a homebrew chip and wire that in, 31 wires. PCmerc.com is where I got mine. |
get it right, its 29 wires...

it is often refered to a 29 wire homebrew
however 31 wires are connected to the mod and either go to the board or to some of the link points - this depends if a eeprom or flashrom is used concerning pin 31 to ground or pin 32 link
or 31 and 24 will go to the tsop points if you wish to flash the homebrew via evox
the only wire that isn't connected is wire 1 but then that could be connected if you had/wanted to split the home brew bios - so that now makes 32 wires
pin 32 also needs a link wire from lpc's vcc 5v to the link 32 point - so that makes 33 wires now you may also need to have this connection 32 switched which can take it up to say 34 wires......
spent tail end of last week installing this twice on 2 ver 1.0 mobo's so that is starting to take it up to a 70 wire or so installion
first one went well but homebrew wouldn't work on a shagged 1.0 tsop
leaving that to one side grabbed another ver 1.0 but this time with a fully working tsop
still same ??????
many attempts and reflashing AM29F040B's later - had 4 of them btw
tried in both homebrew installs I came to conclusion my flashroms weren't gonna work - no matter if they were flashed in working xbox under evox or by uniflash - even if it verified ok
grabbed in desperation another pc flashrom - backed it up in uniflash - used them iffy AM29F040B's half flashed the pc's 256kb into the 512kb area - PC WORKED STILL
could not flash the pc's flashrom in uniflash but got it flashed under evox after editing the ini file on the working tsop mobo
it worked but this was on the working tsop xbox so had to put into other moddy tsop mobo and wire in switch.....
enabled switch - botted moody tsop off homebrew - turned off the power/switch but still flash error
pulled the bloomin homebrew out....
detected ST29080.......
whoooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooo
In the end my install was probably more like a 150 wire install - there was bits of kynar everywhere.......
but did it and in the end you don't need a programmer or a pc running uniflash coz a working tsop can flash/program ya flashrom for ya under evox, which I had thought it may have been able to if you plugged in the flashrom after it booted and enabled the switch 32
good fun - ergh nah , wasn't at the time andI don't think I wanna do that again
sticking with my old X2 4976.02 - sod the 4978
