evox didn't seem to want to flash the winbond tsop for me, while raincoat (with that same line in the raincoat.conf) worked fine.  xantium mentioned to me on #avalaunch that he had seen the same issue.

so if you're trying to flash from evox, try using raincoat.

Looking for an update to this post.  I have the same TSOP.

did having:
Flash = 0x0900,"Winbond W49F020T",0x40000
in the raincoat.conf fix your problems, xbwbhacker?

Check your actual chip model number VS what EVOX is showing up..  IF it is differnt, try doing the 3rd solder point on the back of the motherboard.

I had to do that once, where evox kept detecting the wrong Bios, as soon as I did the 3rd solder point, it detected properly and flashed..   If it detects incorrectly, it can hang during the erase.

The above post consists of complete nonsense. Don't post advice when you don't know what you're talking about.

There's no "3rd point" - it's the same points as on the top side. Joining two points with solder makes an electric connection and electricity doesn't care if it's on the top side of the motherboard or not - I promise.

Your problem is do to a bad solder job on the top side points, which is nuts, since those are pre-soldered pads and dead easy.

the eurasia pro flash disk and the 007 flash kit support these types internaly:

--------------------------------------
AMD - Am29F040B, Am29F080B, Am29LV800B
Fujitsu - MBM29F080A, MBM29F040C
Hynix - HY29F080
MACRONIX - MX29F022NTPC
Sharp - LHF08CH1
SST - SST49LF020
ST - M29F080A, M29f002BT
Winbond - W49F020, W49F002U
--------------------------------------

they are based on linux/raincoat 0.5
you can get them from eurasia.nu or the usual places
might be worth a try

yup - by default it contains both versions of winbond 256kb type tsop

anything else grab the raincoat  0.501 config file and drop that in as that file has most other types that may be missing from the more common tsop types

still a tad scarey though coz you are running/flashing tsop as blind as a bat but does work well without a pc/telnet

Post by: Exobex on October 23, 2003, 08:23:00 AM
I'd put money on it being a soldering issue.  Until you've checked your soldering with a multimeter or resoldered them anyway, you haven't checked your soldering.

A VISUAL INSPECTION ALONE IS NOT SUFFICIENT!!!

Idiot.

Why should I read tutorials written by people who don't know what they're talking about?

You only have to connect the pre-soldered pads on the top side on v1.2-v1.5 to get write access to the TSOP. On v1.0 and v1.1 one of the pre soldered pads are on the bottom side, the other on the top.

Don't play with things you don't understand.

Hello hello, what's all this shouting?  We'll have no trouble here! biggrin.gif

Seriously though, as Troed says, on the 1.2 and newer boxes you only need to solder (or jumper with conductive ink) the top pads.  The ones on the bottom of these boards are connected directly to the top ones near the TSOP, so by joining these you're only duplicating the connection.

If using conductive ink, try cleaning that section of the board with isopropyl alcohol or isopropanol (in other words, head cleaning fluid) first, to make sure you're joining solder pads and not just joining two pads of dirt or flux.

Letters and numbers after the main chip number tend to refer to chip speed (90 = 90nS) and package (DIP, CERDIP, TSOP, PQFP, BGA, etc), although there are exceptions (29LF020 is not the same as 29LF020A, for example).

Useful info can be gleaned from the manufacturers' data sheets for these chips.  Handy if you think you've discovered an Xbox with a new, "unflashable" BIOS and you're starting to panic (you wouldn't be the first).

I flashed a W49F020T last night with the 007 Flash Kit.

It also had the new Focus TV chip, so I used evox M7.

No problems.

This weekend I flashed, amongst others, the following using Raincoat 0.501, same config as in the version that can be downloaded from my sig. below (which hasn't changed for ages):-

Winbond W49F020T-90B (recognised as W49F020)
ST ST29F002BT70N1 (recognised as 29F002)
ST M29F080A (recognised as M29F080A)
Hynix HY29F002TT-90 (recognised as HY29F002)

Oh, and one of them had a Focus encoder as well.

All were done by soldering the jumpers, in the case of the 1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5 boards the bottom jumper was NOT soldered.
In no cases did "Flash not writable" or the 0x00, 0x09 errors occur.  If they had, I'd have resoldered.

I'm trying as we speak. What if I solder the bottom point as well?

I'm confident it's not a soldering problem (unless you need an additional point), because before I soldered, I got "not writeable", and after, it hangs on "Erasing".

This is using an updated evox.ini with all of the lines for Winbond added.

Someone, shed some light on this, we need to flash this chip.

You won't be able to flash this through Evo-X 007 gamesave.  You need to use the raincoat version.  Read above and grab the package from the url I posted.  Should work for you after using this.  Nothing needs to be done to the zip file except changing the name to : AgentUnder_BONDAUF.zip before transfering to memory card.  Then just boot your xbox, copy the gamesave from memory card to hd and load up 007 and goto load game from harddisk and screen should go blank and you'll hear some poping and other stuff and your ready to begin.. Just d/l the instruction file at the url as well.  It's really simple..

W490f20t-90b. I try to change the line in evox to the one without the "T" W490f20-90b   then bugging in erasing.

After resolder many time. Always the same problem.  !not writable!! with one and bugging on erasing with the other.

Then I try raincoat 0.51 and it work like a charm. Don't know why evox won't work..maybe because i use 3752 version... I don't know.

But I confirm It possible to flash this tsop with raincoat!!

This is the line I use in evox.ini

Flash = 0xda8c,"Winbond - W49F020",0x40000 ---> Freeze on erasing

Probably because 0x0900 is NOT a valid flash type!  If this device is shown, it indicates that there's a problem with the soldering.  Whatever that device is, it looks like you've attempted to reprogram it.

The CORRECT line for a Winbond 49F020T (be it a -90B or whatever) is:-

Flash = 0xda8c,"Winbond - W49F020",0x40000

You can change the description, but the 0xDA8C and 0x40000 must remain.  Even the following will flash a Winbond 49F020:-

Flash = 0xda8c,"Bollocks 9000 (Ultra)",0x40000

OH!  How about you taking your own advise and try flashing it with a 1meg bios first and let me know how that works out for you.. on it telling you wrong bios size.  Like to see that feature of rain you were talking about.

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.
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

you cant use evox to flash winbond decoder chip...all others ok but not winbond!

It has trouble erasing from what I read

You have to flash TSOP using raincoat .501

Don't use D.6 on a 1.4 board, you'll kill it!

Use EvoX M7 instead.  It works on all models of Xbox , I've been using it since it came out, no problems whatsoever.

Make sure it's NOT recognising your chip as 0x09, 0x00, as this is a sure indication that your soldering, inking or whatever is not up to scratch.

The following line:-

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

wd-40, I would just like to thank you for the EASY to understand raincoat package and tutorial. I used to be deathly afraid of dos and linux commands and when I came across a winbond chip I knew I had no choice but to use raincoat...but your tutorial and ready-to-go package made it super easy. Thank you very very much!  beerchug.gif
