Depends which BIOS flashing software was used to flash the v1.1's TSOP. Not all of the flashing software fills the flash memory chip. Some write the one copy of the dot bin file leaving the rest of the flash chip empty.
GentooX Loader is one that does not write multiple copies of the BIOS to fill the flash. If that tool was used, then the 1MB TSOP now contains:
- 256KB CerBIOS
- 256KB Empty (0xFF filled)
- 256KB Empty (0xFF filled)
- 256KB Empty (0xFF filled)
Instead of
- 256KB CerBIOS
- 256KB CerBIOS
- 256KB CerBIOS
- 256KB CerBIOS
You should be able to solder two wires to force access to the first 256KB BIOS.
Like used to fix a COMA v1.0 or v1.1 console.
Forgot to mention - Flashing using Xblast OS .xbe

I think different versions have different TSOP sizes, and they have to be flashed a certain way (redundantly) if the bios file is smaller than the chipˋs total space. So you need to flash a file compatible with your boxˋs specific TSOP chip, ensuring that the chipˋs space is fully written to. Otherwise, a FRAG occurs.
Forgot about that. Only the Sharp is different file size of 1MB. Rest are 256KB.

It's a 1-line patch in the kernel. Very simple. There's been some issues with it reported in the Titan repo though, so maybe the Cerbios team is hesitant to add it.
Been testsing Titan UDMA 5 with all revisions tsop and no issues thus far (1.0-1.5). 1.6 modchip Titan UDMA 5 working smooth as well. I asked in Cerbios discord and they said they were testing it.
Side note: ETA on XBOX2HDMI stock?

Hello everyone.
I just finished TSOPing an Xbox model 1.1 and decided I wanted to flash Cerbios 2.01 Retail, and after flashing I have a red/green flashing light with no picture. The system is hooked up via composite (yellow, red and white) video cables and now I have no picture.
I cannot access FTP, either.
I was also sure to FTP over the Cerbios.ini and boot animations to the root of C ahead of flashing.
Can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
Thank you.Odd as Cerbios is supposed to work with TSOP 1.0-1.5 - I just flashed Cerbios 2.01 on a 1.4 last night no issue. Only flashed TSOP no ini or boot animations.

Now it's more like new Xbox Series S/X boot animation
I never thought I'll see that. Anyway, did anyone had any success in creating boot animations?
Looks like the Xbox 360 Fakeanime one.

Seems this new bios is virtually perfect. I would only askk for one more thing and thats X3 LCD support!!!
I always thought the LCD was underused by the X3 bios, there's an opportunity here to make lcd screens worthwhile for anything other than XBMC.
Don't forget UDMA 5 - Only thing missing. Once you try Titan UDMA 5 its hard to go back to UDMA 2.
I use Titan UDMA 5 for all my 64MB ram builds and Cerbios for 128MB ram builds. Maybe one day we can get - Big drives + 128MB + UDMA 5 all in one.

I would say if you can, get an IR-PRO-SC over the 6000, it will give you the ability to work on more consoles if you'd like down the road. I have one myself and been doing tons of PS3's recently. I can help you with a rough profile setup from what i've been using for my reballs!
Seems like the ir6500 replaced all of those models. They are $600 on amazon. Anyone one if they are any good?

Any clue when this will be back in stock??? @electron-shepherd
This may be a solution for getting rid of the Pound Cables that flicker on and off @Bowlsnapper
Been waiting myself. Need to order a batch of these.
-
Does anyone know if Cerbios will be getting UDMA5? Seems like that would make it the best bios for sure. I can test if anyone needs.

Thank you for the info! Unfortunately I do not possess the skills to do that type of repair lol. Do you know of anyone that may be able to help out? I’m in the US

Tomorrow I'll add some pictures. I've prepared a jig for reballing the 9 interposers I still have, since placing the balls by hand just once, however humbling the experience may be, just isn't for me. For that I used a regular stencil with the unused pads masked using kapton tape. Pics will clarify.
I'll also add some info for the paste dispenser that I used, although I prefer having a stencil made instead.
Nice!, Yeah free hand reballing is ugh yeah. Cpu with kapton tape to preball adapter I think I got down. Can't wait to see your stencil ideas for top part of adapter, will order solder paste gun if have to. How precise are the solder paste syringes?

Does anyone know the exact part for the D0 connectors on these Xeniums? I think I lost mine and didn't realize until I went to go install these.
A member contacted me about the SP ICE and send me full set. Tried it, though I think the solder-less adapter is bad. So I soldered header pins and went to install the 24k...without a D0 harness.
You could also try to solder D0 on mobo to ground on case. I do this with aladdins while testing / hot swap flashing to make it easier. Not 100% if it works with that chip.

It's taken about a decade of time and a year's income to equip it to the point where it is now, and it allows me to do a whole lot of stuff from home. A lot of it is luxury though, making things easier or providing additional room for fuckups before turning disastrous. I've been able to take a huge variety of repair jobs, which in turn funded acquisition of more gear to take on additional repair jobs. A nice circle indeed.
That said, this particular kind of job in my opinion does require a BGA station, but an Achi/Honton/Scotle will do perfectly fine. I did probably about 200 BGA replacements before I exchanged my IR6000 for what I use now. Getting a stencil is probably better than using solder paste from a syringe, so if you don't have a paste dispenser, that's what I'd suggest. Aside from that, I don't think the requirements are too demanding for this job. Some good flux maybe
The shipping fees will feel like a scam for sure but I think we can be creative on 20 year old stuff when it comes to VAT/customs
Any info on stencil. I went through all my 0.76mm stencils and none match up well. I ordered a pack from amazon last night cause one of them looked real close to the XBOX CPU. Also, any good info on solder paste guns? I didn't even know those were a thing since I always reballed with solder balls. Just getting into using paste. Thanks and cant wait to see your further progress.

The word is that there isnˋt, which is making a couple people that I talk to nervous about the future capability of performing this upgrade, myself included. I wanna solder 1.4GHZ CPUs into Xboxes until all the parts run out. I have so much anxiety that I will probably start hording the parts to do it, so I can just mod Xboxes at my leisure without worrying about part availability.
Does the OP know of a place to get the components DB just mentioned? Or a better place to get those Tualatins than Ebay? Seems expensive. Iˋve seen random recycler sites that claim to have them but they seem hella fuckinˋ sketchy.
Just found all 3 missing components on aliexpress really cheap. So now to order the boards n parts + CPU.

Youˋre doing exactly want I want to do. You might beat me to it. FUCK!... I hope you make the shit out of these. Thereˋs room for both of us.
How in the hell do you have 10 unopened Xboxes? And I guess digikey is no longer out of the ICs needed for the performance reduction circuit?
I have been researching this myself lately and thinking about ordering a 5 Pack of Xbox-CPU-interposer boards
Out of all the parts Digikey doesn't have these 3 in stock.
NC7SZ32M5XCT-ND - ON-Semiconductor
NC7WZ07P6XCT-ND - ON-Semiconductor
SER4329CT-ND - SG-3030JC 32.7680KB0: ROHS
Ebay has the 3 misssing parts that digikey is out of with one part from china. Anyone know of any other sources or part replacement?

I know this is bringing this topic back up, but UnleashX says BIOS: UNKNOWN 1.00.5032.01
Have you tried Xblast?

There's not many big caps on motherboard and the replacement caps are super cheap so might as well replace all of them.

Bought a 10 pack from Ali and all were non flashable versions. We need a good source.

I try to stay in the background because the site is really about you all and I would never want to have much if any focus on me.
With that said... I have always loved Xbox modding. I was really into it back in 2002-2004. I learned all I could and modded lots of Xboxs back then. I changed careers in 2014 and that took me to a new state and somehow all of that change rekindled my love for Xbox. I looked around for people who were still into it and they were scattered everywhere. Xbox-scene was dying/dead. I created the FB group and it took off relatively quickly. I did a lot of things wrong there by choosing the wrong admins and commenting on topics unrelated to Xbox.... moderating in a way that was frankly unprofessional. (I still do from time to time if I'm in a weird mood.)
Once the FB group membership got around 10k, we started having content just disappear from the FB group. I became aware that the group could quite literally vanish in the blink of an eye.
My skillset is in the world of IT, so spinning up a web server was really no trouble. So I fired up a VM on my server at home, set it up and allowed it through my firewall and announced the site. Once the site grew, I went ahead and moved it to a VPS cloud host so it doesn't depend on my home's power and internet reliability.Hopefully I covered whatever you were looking for. If not let me know and I'll answer almost anything.
Thank YOU sir.

My v1.1 xbox has distortion in its video. It looks like 10 vertical rows of pixels all horizontally shift to the left by about 5 pixels. It's difficult to catch on camera but I've attached 2 photos. In one photo, you can see the pixel shift right in the middle of the letter D on the left hand side of the screen. In the other photo, you can see the same distortion right in between E and F on the left hand side of the screen. It doesn't look as dramatic in these photos as it really is. These vertical distortions appear all over the screen with about 5 or 6 happening at any given time. I replaced the five 1500uF capacitors in my xbox, and that did not help it. This distortion happens when I use the official HD component video adapter. It also happens when I use the Chimeric systems HDMI adapter. It seems like the distortion is not caused by external cables. I tried cleaning the video connector contacts with isopropyl alcohol. Does anyone know how I can fix this or further troubleshoot the issue?
I have a few Xboxes that I noticed have something similar to this with hdmi. I have yet to test with component or AV. Let me know if you find anything out.

Use multiple of these adapters and every tenth has a problem, but that's fine for me... everytime I order 5 I get 8-10... most of the sellers put few more adapters into the box than ordered.
IGR always works fine for me with Startech and always errors out with other adapters I have tried. Startech + udma 5 is real nice.

[Help!] Flashed Cerbios 2.01 Retail BIOS to an Xbox 1.1 TSOP and have red/green flashing lights
in Bios
Posted
Been using Xblast for all my TSOPS ever since I couldn't flash a few bios files with older software.
