  1. Just now, Mu. said:

    I believe it's worked the same way as it always has: With the D0 pin of the TSOP chip connected to ground (or the TSOP removed entirely), the console will attempt to boot from a bios via the LPC header. Andrew Huang's write-up of hacking the Xbox goes into better detail than I ever could.

    Ah, itˋs an LPC flash. Got it.Thought maybe it was something a lot more crude and insane.

  2. interesting... What is the purpose though? Youˋre saying that this holds a BIOS thatˋs normally loaded out of the TSOP or the LPC, and uses other methods to patch the boot rom than what we all use now? Was this just the first real way to do it?

  3. Wait, Iˋm confused. Does this chip contain a bios or an EEPROM? ...and why does it look like an Intel 8086? Itˋs fuckinˋ long and huge.

    Dude is that SST a couple posts up mounted and wired directly to the LPC port?

    If that's the case then its not really a huge selling point for the bios. The attach.xbe method has been around for ages, nothing new.

    I guess the real "Big" selling point for Cerbios  is the LBA48 improvements for the 3tb+ support. Also maybe the "Dual HDD" mode I suppose.

    If they can add UDMA5 to those and also Xbox HDMI+ patches then I can see this becoming the default bios for a lot of peeps including myself. 

    I certainly wont be replacing my X3's bios with Cerbios then and I'll be doing a fresh build sometime in the future on a fresh Xbox once Cerbios leaves Beta status.

    Well said, Broseph. I believe Iˋve expressed similar views regarding the selling point of this bios. Currently, itˋs just the HDD features, like youˋve mentioned. Hell, Not only do I agree with you about UDMA5 and HD+ additions, but Iˋd like to see an X3 Config Live-like config live menu. But, Maybe that isnˋt realistic.

    Have you tried to use Gentoox Loader or XBlast OS to reflash the rebadged SST49LF002A part?

     

    Edit: Wait, XBlast OS not being able to reflash the modchip is the whole reason why this thread was started.

     

    P.S. I wonder if some of the Linux-based flashing discs can reflash it (e.g., eurasia_pro_generic_flash_disc_1_3)?

    It uses a program named raincoat to flash a BIOS to the modchip/TSOP.

    You can flash a chip using the Xbox version of Linux? Or I guess it would be more of a specific purpose build, No GUI?

    You know how to connect to XLink Kai? No complex setup… just a Xbox with tsop, XBMC4Gamers set to DHCP, lan cable to modem. Basically I get a IP for example 192.168.1.56… but it doesn’t work. It’s just 0.0.0.0. 

    For FTP I get IP. 192.168.0.6. Setup is little different. But that’s not important for me. Important is that I don’t get connection to internet (XLink Kai). I have multiple consoles and they all work. Same setup for all of them (hardware/software).

    So basically, everything works correctly, except your connection to Kai? I would say Kaiˋs settings are incorrect somewhere. I donˋt have experience with Kai yet, but is it required to configure Kai at all on the Xbox? Or is it just on the PC and all the tunneling and everything takes place through the PC? Iˋll read up now and find out. Thanks for the info.

    Your other Xboxes connect to Kai fine?

    I have no clue…. For FTP I get IP… but for internet I don’t. I can hook up other consoles at the same time and they work  

    That’s why I’m asking. It’s no joke. Any ideas what to do? Could it be a console that got banned by Microsoft back in the days? 

    I donˋt know what you mean when you say you get an IP "for FTP" but not "for internet". Which software is showing what IP numbers? Dashboards, Filebrowsers, etc. What do you consider to be "Internet"? How are you FTPing? Which application are you using to do it? Be more technical and descriptive, player. Youˋre not using diagnostically friendly language. :)
