[Frag After Bios Flash - Aladdin Advance]

Thank you very much! For now I've tested it with M8+ and Xbox works

Hello,

It's been a while, but I finally got the flasher. Can you suggest which bios I should flash? @KaosEngineer mentioned M8plus.bin. Is there a reliable source of this file?

What made you decide to flash the OLD Evox D.6EjectFix BIOS to the modchip? 

The latest Evox BIOS version release for a v1.0-1.5 Xbox is M8plus.bin.

Indeed, very good point. I assumed that if someone left those bios files on HDD, they should be ok. It's a very good lesson to first read about the topic and then act

Since the modchip is directly soldered to the motherboard, the easiest way to fix it is to remove the SST49LF020 from the socket.  There's a specialized PLCC-32 extractor tool (US$42.63) made to go under the chip in the rectangular corner slots to pull it up and out. (I use a small flat bladed screw driver and go back and forth between the two corners to carefully pry up one corner then the other until the chip pops out.)  Then, use an external programmer capable of flashing an SST49LF020 chip to reflash it with the correct bios's dot bin file.

 

From what I see, it's not that simple to find such a programmer. I found one using LPT, but finding PC with such a port will be a challenge. There are some usb nano programmers on ebay, but they are expensive including shipping cost.

Hello gromitski

 

The D6 bios is really really old and some listing say it will not work in a version 1.4-1.6

I would say it's a 1.4 as no one has ever seen/owned a version 1.5

To recover from that the easy way is fit a new aladdin chip and then you could reflash the noworking one via the hot swap method but the way the chip as been fitted that's a little bit boe involved.

Can you post a pic of the whole board?

Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Sure, although I couldn't take less blurry photo. Hope it will be enough.

Hello,

I have an original Xbox (can't determine which version, looks like 1.4 or 1.5) modded with Aladdin Advance. It worked well until today - I decided to update the bios with EvoX D.6 EjectFix (checksum 74c6235497f474bf88b54b3fc52a20b2). Bin file with it was placed on my HDD so I presumed that it's ok to flash it. After flashing, my Xbox turned off and when I turned it on, it startet to FRAG (two green flashes, then green/red flash with no video). What have I done? How I can undone it?
