WEIRD XBOX 1 HD PROBLEM ! HELP ! ! !

Ok im a bit frustrated . ive tried using tsop d6 bios flashed on bank 2 of my X2.6CE . Ive read alot of repair tips . Nadda . i cannot get my bad tsop box to boot as the tuts ive read said that it should . I suppose its above and beyond me . It works with a modchip so i guess i will leave it at that and go buy another non modded xbox just for live . Seems like a waste of money , But whats a guy really to do here ?! . HELP ! ! ! Thank You .

 

I appreciate the help . Ive got all the bios i could ever need . I just now use flashx2 to flash my X2.6CE . It does the job . It lets me pick which bank to flash . So i am set there now . My X2.6CE problem is complete now . Thank You For all the help i have recieved . I am onto the tsop issue now . Ive used 3 different kinds of chips . X3CE , X2.6CE , And duoX2 . I have found the same result with all of them . Ive used tsop d6 bios . Ive used EvoX Matrix tsop Bios . Whats left that i am not getting here ? Thank You Very Much .

 

Ok i said the X2.6CE problem was over ? Well now i can lay it to rest . I was bored about 8 minutes ago , and heres what i came up with and i hope this helps other people out there that wish to use evox to flash their x2.6ce's . My EvoX ini says this for the x2 .

Flash = 0x1d5,"AMD Am29F080B",0x100000

This is what i did .

#Flash = 0x1d5,"AMD Am29F080B",0x100000
Flash = 0x1d5,"AMD Am29F080B",0x80000

You can however if you so choose to remove the first line starting with the # sign . I left it for a 911 time cuz ya just never know when your gunna spoof someday and need a quick way to reflash it . Enjoy !

 

Ok well i just messed up . I have a chip in a 1.6b ok . I just unlocked the hd ok . Now when i boot my X2 5035 V16 it flashes red and green and gives me error code 6 . Does this in MS mode and on bank 1 . Bank 2 has flashbios 3.03 . I tried to lock it with flashbios but it turns the box off then back on then says "Cannot read first sector of hardrive" . I was wise enough to make a backup of the xbox . Can i use UnlockX on my pc to relock it ? Any help would be spectacular ! This is my wifes box . Dont Let me get my nads cut off ! HELP !!!! SOS !!!

 

I tried xbox hdm . doesnt work for me . ive wasted 16 cds . the prgram works but when i try to lock the hd it will either say password file not found halting ! Witch is bs cuz the eeprom.bin is there . Cmon pros help me out here . i have an X3CE modded box and a halo 2 se box available to me . Is there a way to hotswap lock it with a virgin xbox ? ive heard about it but now all the links are bad . I need serious help b4 the wife wants to play . Yes i spoofed but i thought having a modchip in ur box booted an unlocked hd . apparently not . Im very desperate here . HELP ! ! ! !

As for the rest.. we got a working bios on the chip, which may be faulty... otherwise it's an obsolete procedure and console and 99% of us who know about them at the kind of level you need have scrapped all our info and moved on to proper hacking.

If you would stay ON TOPIC it would help.. jeeeez.. I was all tooled up to try some more with the bios banks and we are onto hotswapping with hdm... which seriously.. if it isn't working you either have a motherboard which doesn't support drive locking or you just aren't doing it right.

What the hell are you trying to do with that??.. lock the stock hdd to the stock xbox?.. I can't make any sense out of the incoherent babble you posted .. sorry

Creakster.. were you actually trying to flash a 1.6 bios on the chip?

 

Could you help me with the harddrive ? i reflashed m8plus V16 to bank 1 , and bank 2 still contains flashbios 3.0.3 . When i boot the xbox up with the m8 i get error 16 . (dash error) . I tried loading a game and it just hangs at the x logo with the ms writing at the bottom . When i boot original mode it gives me error 6 . What gives ? I have never run into this problem before . Any help would be cool .

 

error 6.. drive locked to wrong eeprom for the mobo or you have been screwing about with the drive locking/unlocking tools on hdm WITHOUT reading the very serious warning from ldots...
error 16.. busted dash or wrong paths.. that's what you get when you mess about with the bios dash names and locations.. LiNuX is CaSe SenSiTiVe.

 

ok i will explain exactly what i was doing . First i unlocked my harddrive using unleashx . As i wanted to plug the harddrive into my pc and transfer some movies and things faster than via ftp . Once completed with transfering said files to xbox hd i then hooked it back up in my xbox in an unlocked state . i proceeded to boot the xbox up with X2 5035 V1.6 on bank 1 . It gave me error code 6 . I then reflashed the bank 1 with M8 Plus V1.6 to see if anything would change or if it would boot up properly . I get error code 16 . Im confused . When i boot normal xbox mode i get error code 6 . As said above when i boot off of the modchip i get error 16 . I have tried to load a game to see if i could access my harddrive thru an exploit to see if i could get back and relock my harddrive . The screen hangs at the X logo with white microsoft writing . It wont do anything more than that . Is all of this understandable ? I hope so .

 

i had the same problem. i fixed it by putting the eeprom.bin file on a floppy drive (since it couldn't be found on the cd where i actually put it in the eeprom folder!). after i got the message eeprom not found, i directed it to the floppydrive path. from then on it would find the eeprom.bin and lock normally.

if you got a chip in it, can't you boot a aid or slayer install disk and only repair your C drive!?

i had a similar problem with my executer2 and evox m8 bios, i needed to rebuild the harddrive (only c drive off course) by booting the slayers disk. after which it worked fine (both locked and unlocked)

 

Thank you for your input . i will attempt to load my slayers v2.7 right now . im not able to use a floppy because my pc is a bit too new and does not have 1 but im going to borrow a friends older pc tommorow . do i need to copy just the eeprom.bin ? or the whole iso to the floppy ? Thank you so very much . I will post on what happens with the slayers disc .

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ! ! ! Booted slayers right off the bat ! Im going to rebuild C Drive right now . THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !

 

Problem . i looked in the system settings menu of slayers and it says

Security Unlock Error
Free Space On C: 0

It says that for all partitions . What Happened to it ?! Do i do a fresh install of a retail hd ?

 

Ok i installed just evox to drive C . its as if nothing happend . I get error 13 when booting off of the modchip and error 6 when booting with the chip off . Im screwed huh ?

 

yep im screwed . i formated the whole drive and did restore to retail . it did acted like it copied but my drive is completely blank . im lost in nomans land now i guess . time to admit i made a paperweight .

 

yep i now believe its a paperweight because when i attempt to ftp evox dashboard into c drive my ftp client fails the transfers . any suggestions ?

 

Well ... atleast i learned a valuable lesson . 1.6b's arent any fun . Yes i did infact kill my harddrive . Thank god i have a 1 year warranty from where i bought it from . time to get a new 1 . lol . take it from a guy that spent 3 monthes tweakin and gettin her perfect , DONT UNLOCK YOUR HARDDRIVE UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE ! sorry to yell . It also seems that you cannot unlock you harddrive and use an x2.6ce. but i dont know. im very disapointed in myself for being a moron . but i hope you pros can get a chuckle out of it and if it raises awareness of these touchy 1.6b's then so be it . I totally appreciate everyones help and suggestions . You guys are great at what you do . i hope someday to have the knolledge that you guys have . I have a new chapter in my home made modder guide now . lol the donts of harddrives . You can now close this post or tell me how if i am the one to have to close it . Again THANK YOU .
