i an iddiot - think i screwed up the eeprom

i 've been moddin on this original xbox for like 2 monthes now so i'm still a newb but i went and tried 2 install a newwer install wit more stuff and aparently screwd my eeprom up cuzz i'm gettin christmas lights and no video so if any one has a clue or would jus like 2 save me a few hours of searchin on da internet about how i * up my eeprom i'd b greatly appreciative and in yur debt i'd hate

 

messed up eeprom is solid red.. not all colours.. that's a general hardware fault, jumpers wrong, ide cable off.. something like that. It could be connectors folded over on the controller ports too.. that's a little known one.

llammas xbox site.. that's where you need to look.

 

i hav red n green and i was messin with da eeprom knowin dis could happen but i couldn't get the installer workin right i jus forgott to mention dat tid bit thanx

 

ok i went from the xboard 3.5 installer to the aid 4.55 installer and was tryin to get my eprom set right because it wasn't bootin doin the infinit circle with da solid red or orange lights and i installed evox 8 and now i hav no video on boot it cycles like 3 times sometimes and wether it clcles 3 times or not it flashes red n green and yeah yur right i spelled alot of shit wrong my bad id been on a 30 hour rsv2 binge before tryin to tinker with my blackbox end result was i hav a paper weiht now thanks in advance

 

wow... did you drop out of elementary school or something? Is that even possible?

You need more help than i can give

Here's a link to help you with your xbox problems

Make sure you have the correct eeprom.

Read the entire thing 50 times so you're confident you know what you're doing.

If you weren't soldering to the board and if it's just a software fault then you should be able to fix it. If you were soldering then you have to track down the trace or pad you destroyed and fix it.

Good luck

 

alright i wasn't soldering on it thanks for the link

 

thanks for fixing the title lol i'd been up for a long strech when i typed that out. n e waz i tried a soilderless x2 and that didn't help

 

don't understand you, think about others trying to read what your saying as they can't read it they can't help you

 

Solderless adaptors are complete garbage. Learn how to solder or just softmod your xbox.

 

yeah i know how to soilder and softmodding is what ended me up in this predictament in the first place @least the aid 4.5 disk but i'll giv it a shot

2 xboxes 1 is a 1.1 and the other is a 1.6 both are fragging one with out video (1.1) and the other with video and error 21 (1.6) i can't seem to get the unicron reader tho work might jus b my pc though .

 

For your 1.6 if you can hotswap you can fix that xbox in about 2 minutes. Download the file in my sig (cheater 1.4-1.6) and use my softmod files on your xbox.

 

thanks i appreciate that now i'd hav 2 find some one with a modded 1.6 to hotswap with right?


i jumped into this modding stuff and read alot of shit and thought i was prepped good enough but aparently its 2 flippin easy to screw one up thanks carn

 

For the 1.1 you'll have to take the xbox motherboard out of the case and look around for any damaged traces or lifted pads. If it doesn't have video it's a hardware issue (red/green lights on front).

and for your 1.6

There's a couple links to hotswap

Back when the xbox was first softmodded there was an exploit to get to the modded dash. You had to place an audio cd in the xbox and go though a button sequence to get to your modded dash. Now if you plugged in your power first and accidently hit the power button without plugging in the av cord the xbox would unmod itself and be stuck at the msdash again. Then to fix it you had to rerun the exploit and replace a the st.db file in E: somewhere. Needless to say...i've done that more than once.

 

with the 1.1 i do know its not the mobo it worked fine till I used AID auto installer on it to add more stuff it wouldn't boot to any thing but the evox dash so i flashed it with the bios from that installer not shure wich one it's been a while and the end result was the fragging wit no video

 

Well yeah you can make a paperweight pretty fast if you go flashing the bios. Did you use a tutorial or did you just select the option?

Here's the tutorial you should have used.

Sounds like that board is junk unless you rip it apart and reflash it somehow. If i were you i'd go on ebay and buy another one. Just work on that 1.6 for now and at least get 1 working.

 

kool thanks

 

well i did my home work and read every thing on hot swapping i did the error code 12 deal and couldn't get it to read with the xbox hd tool from the tut. so i rebooted and started anew and when i was doin the hotswap the xbox powered down and upon several boots i now hav an error code 7 and still can't get it to read
help pls. thanks btw it's the 1.6

 

Looks like you don't have the ide cable plugged in all the way.
