cOrPsE Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 TSOP doesnt need wire unless its a SHARP tsop chip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted April 19, 2018 Report Share Posted April 19, 2018 Wires are also needed if you use the alternate TSOP solder pointsSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT, i have only ever used stranded copper wire, cant remember the gauge (rather small) also, at first i was pullling off the insulator and taking about half the strands, twisting them up, tinning them and using that to bridge the pads that need bridging for tsop unlock. now i just use solder and it works fine. patience. and if you're confident in your soldering and the install fails just try again. i was so close to ripping it all apart last night.... bad dvd drive, another bad dvd drive, 2 failed installs on the good drive and then the third after cleaning install files.... bingo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkmana Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Thank you all so much IT worked i was freaked out but it was pretty simple lol next is HDD upgrade but!! i mistakenly got a SATA HDD that is on the list to be good that being said does any one have a good tutorial for Chimp ive seen it done a few ways and now im like whats going on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XC-3730C Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I never use Chimp. I use XboxHDM on my PC to set up a larger HDD/softmod (with an eeprom backup of course), since I have a SATA to USB 3.0 dock. Of course, completing the setup with HeXEn is essential. I got fed up with Chimp, and having to do the hot swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Download the latest build of Chimp 261812. Video tutorials by Rocky5: 1. How to clone your Hard drive using Chimp 261812 from start to finish. 2. Chimp 261812 Latest Build - not quite. 3. New Chimp Loader XBE Test - here's a view of using the latest version. Even though the first is a bit dated as to specific operations and the loader version, it's still relevant. Once starting the latest release, the loader will be Chimp Loader 1.01 instead of 1.0. You'll be prompted to swap the DVD to HDD IDE connector and press (A) button when ready to continue.

wikati Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 a big portion of your success will come from timing on the cable swap. i believe in 261812 you want to swap cable before loading chimp. but the tutorial by rocky 5 mentioned in kaosengineer post will enlighten you to those details.

KaosEngineer Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Yes, there's no timing issue when using the latest version of Chimp 261812 (uses Chimp Loader 1.01). It prompts you to swap the cable and waits till you are done and press (A) before continuing. Edited April 21, 2018 by KaosEngineer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorkmana Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) i am having a few problems with chimp cant seam to get it to work after i pressed would say its starting up for a while and didnt move on so i installed chimp from hexen disk 1..0 and every time i plugged in the 2ed hard drive ( sata with converter jumper removed) it would lock up i am trying to just reformat the hdd now and once i it done and ready to move to the hexen dashboard it restarts the formatting process after about 2-3 mins Edited April 22, 2018 by dorkmana Should be said that it is on the list to work its said locked ( does this mean i need to use chimp) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkmana Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 i think im not getting enough power after i get the dive going on chimp 1.01 im getting a file error it cant find and my converters light in red some times green cable will be here in a few days / cry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wikati Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 lol @ cry i've had the "not enough power" issue before. i now generally use an extra spot on my pc supply while doing this. always enough power i'd say you're on the right track. you should see better results with proper power, i'm not sure what the psu can handle on this old brick but i've come to the same conclusion in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkmana Posted April 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 At a total loss now the converter i have is the nice one with a pad jumper and compactors i couldn't get Chimp to work but i got it Formatted using hexen and locked it rebooted and it would just stay at a black screen... only think i could think of is that i got a V1.0 with a single row of power and this HDD was used on a V1.6 ??
