  1. using the hotswap method on the pc you may be able to unlock with pc tool called atapwd. power the drive, power up the pc, run atapwd, attach drive, rescan, unlock with master password XBOXSCENE, disable with master password XBOXSCENE, or you may be able to unlock with all 1's but ive never done it that way. atapwd is on older versions of hirens boot cd also
  2. yeah not a theme im afraid, looks like either premium or ninja, which you can customise, just a little bit trickier
  3. the m03c are using a vpd labelled chip, the rxd ones say ide/sata. ive also just noticed the caps on the new ones are 25v 220uf where the rxd are 25v 470uf
  4. yes i install the jumper of course, all 10 adapters work great, just the bootup delay, no difference with/without the 80 pin cable, must be just the way these ones are, the other ones i have say 'rxd-xxxx" or 'jp103' whereas these say 'm03c'
  5. Hi all, ive been using the chinese style adapters from ebay but the price has been creeping up on them so thought i would source a bulk from alibaba, they looked the same on the pics so thought i would be good to go, i ordered 10. they work but the console takes ages to go from the xbox splash screen (without the microsoft tag) to the little microsoft tag appearing at the bottom (15 - 20 seconds as opposed to 1 or 2 seconds with the other adapters), once that has appeared they work fine, everything else is the same speedwise. looking at these adapters they actually look better quality, even the master/slave jumper comes in its own little bag, one other thing I've noticed is they work with the standard 40 pin ide cable whereas the other chinese adapters only worked with an 80 pin. anyone had any experience of these?
  6. you can ftp to the xbox with a program like filezilla easy enough
  7. very tidy consoles here in the uk we werent treated to half of the special editions, we got black, crystals and green (and some halo green i think), ive always been tempted to import a skeleton, they look cool as feck!
  8. just opened up a 1.0 xbox which was hard modded back in the day, when there was no chip on the top of the board i assumed it must have been tsop'd, took the board out and found this monstrosity, ive locked a stock HD to it and desoldered the chip so i can start afresh. im glad things got easier as time went by!
  9. on point 3, if the old xbox was softmodded and your new xbox would essentially be running a custom bios then you may have to change the path that looks for evoxdash.xbe, ie the softmod drive may be set to e:\evoxdash.xbe and the hardmod bios may be looking for c:\evoxdash.xbe, you can either use a bios that allows you to change this or boot the console using a boot disk that has file explorer (ie AID) and physically move/copy the evoxdash.xbe file
  10. the front panel wouldnt make a difference to be honest, i just kept it on there to save prising it off and also there is an original x3 sticker on so would be selling as is, thanks
  11. I was saving this but would be willing to let it go at a fair price im uk also
  12. welcome Kaan, i usually put both coinops and ninja massive on, i find coinops is easier to find games for a quick blast, however if im showing someone an xbox then it has to be ninja are you ftp'ing all those games or using fatxplorer?
  13. where are you located? my crystal is a 1.6 (im in uk) but i dont think all crystals are, post a pic of your board so we can see what revision it is
  14. ok my bad, i know games discs cant write to the tsop obviously but wasnt aware the kernel was part of the bios on an xbox, game discs must just update the dash then like you said, MS numbered them the same just to confuse me!
  15. my understanding was the kernel doesnt get written to the tsop, the kernel is somewhere between the bios and OS, game disks were capable of updating the kernel so it couldnt have been written to the tsop, what are you trying to achieve? a stock xbox?
  16. Hi Jay, good call on pulling the clock cap and now all you have to do is decide what to fill all that lovely f drive with!
  17. yes ive moved that across also
  18. Hi, i purchased a faulty 1.6 xbox which was modded with xecuter 3 and the front control panel, the xbox was powering up but no sign of life on the chip or front panel, upon inspection the lpc rebuild board wasnt installed straight, it seemed to be slightly skew, i didnt really have the proper kit to remove and reseat the lpc rebuild board so i desoldered everything else and re-installed it all into a 1.4 so no need for the lpc board, i now have signs of life on the chip (chip lights up blue) and the front control panel (logo lights red and hdd activity light blinks) however i cant get the chip to enable, ive tried the bank switches in various positions, short press, long press, if i try pressing eject and power together the xbox frags once then powers up normally but the logo light is always red, ive retried all my solder points on the lpc / d0 but to no avail, anyone have any ideas anything else i could try? thanks
  19. If you can solder to the little surface mounted resistors then you can do the holes, If you have the thin kynar wire then the holes arent too bad as you can use the hole for a guide, scratch the surface of the hole a little with a sharp blade and flux the wire and hole, then with the wire poking in the hole put a small amount of solder on the iron and it should flow when you touch the connection. im not the best at soldering myself but thats how i do these little holes and it works for me (i also invested in a cheap pair of 1.5 reading glasses!). you can practice on any old circuit board that has those holes.
  20. The first thing i would try is to do the BT to ground wire so the chip is 'always on' edit - there does seem rather a lot of wires on your install pic, not sure whats going on there edit 2 - think its an lpc rebuild (i usually do that on the underside of the board), i would still get rid of the 2 wires going to the front of the board and do the BT to ground link
  21. Hi, sounds interesting. maybe set up a github page and release on there when ready or when theres a beta
  22. if you press and hold the white button on the controller during boot does it bring up the x3 config live screen?
  23. have you checked the front panel switch positions to make sure you havent accidently moved any?
