    That helps a lot! So... the mystery has been solved. The OP's chip is a Xenochip Lite, a clone of the Aladdin XT without the pinheaders! It also looks like someone else had the same problem a couple of years ago: https://assemblergames.com/threads/what-modchip-is-this-and-how-to-remove-write-protection.65562/
    In that thread, the OP never did manage to flash from the Xbox, they had to resort to an external programmer as I probably would have done. So you are very lucky that XBlast now exists!
    Apparently the reason yours is white is because a select few were made as Christmas specials in 2004- read through the AssemblerGames thread I linked to and KaosEngineer's post confirms this.

    Hey Samspin

    Your method worked a treat after few times it finally worked and it flashed without any issues. I did worry at start but it all went well. Appreciate your help.

    I have made note of your posts about the way to partition the HDD and in EVtools.

    Thanks again

    Upload "XBlast OS.XBE" from the zip to anywhere on your Xbox HDD via FTP, along with the chosen BIOS file. Then you can use "File Manager" from within UnleashX (in this case, HEXEN uses UnleashX as it's main menu) to browse to the XBE and run it.

    omg! Xblast worked!! had to create folder called Bios then had to create image folder too but put the files in there , ran xblast and wished myself all the luck thinking id brick the xbox lol

    and wallahhhhhhhhh Bios changed  Thank youuuuuuuuuuu

    which of these files would be the one for F&G capability in the EvoX bios files?

    about to FTP it to HDD of xbox

    Ah, good point! I've just checked and mine indeed has 1MB rather than 256KB of flash. Good spot!

    From that image above, HEXEN has loaded the EvoX Dashboard program, since that includes inbuilt support for flashing BIOSes. Because it does not support *every* flash chip, there is one of two possible problems: 1: the flash chip is not supported, thus it is coming up with the manufacturer's ID as FF and device ID 00 . 2: It is possible your mod PCB is wired in such a way to avoid the flash being writable. As documentation is lacking for this PCB you'd need to take the flash chip itself out (labeled 49LF020A) and reprogram it externally if this is the case. That's why I suggest running XblastOS to try flashing with that first, since it supports more chips than EvoX-Dashboard.

    Thanks for this info,  I'm hoping it's not the chip that is protected =(

    Will give xblast a try now,  see what happens

    Hey Dave,

    I am using 256KB Bios from Hexen, its the EvoX M8+ 1.6 (F&G) option.. every time i try it from the Hexen DVD i get the following error

    please see image

    Could it be that the chip is not flashable or locked from flash ?  I formatted the HDD and starting fresh with the Hexen DVD but that damn logo was still there after format and install of Hexen dvd to format and partition HDD, So that part went all well but the Bios i cant flash with the Hexen.

    Hi Dave,

    Thanks for your reply 

    i wanted to flash the EvoX bios to make sure whatever custom bios they have used or altered it to is not affecting the xbox performance.

    Also please see my image i just posted with the left top corner, i wanted to change this image, bot sure how they customised it to change the image also.. not a big fan of the logo on top left corner.

    And also to make sure that this Bios is capable of F & G drive option when i upgrade the HDD .

    Your help is much appreciated. see my new image of the boot screen

    Hi All,

    I need your help to identify my mod chip, i purchased this Original xbox and unable to find any information as to what mod chip it is or even what Bios it is using.

    I have tried to use the Hexen DVD to try Flash the Bios with the EvoX but none of the bios's i tried worked, it came back with drive ID error and unable to flash blue screen.

    Not sure if i am flashing it with correct Bios or not or if i have to manually put the Bios.bin files into the xbox itself via FTP ? 

    My xbox is 1.6 version, can anyone please help to identify the chip installed ? and what Bios i can use or how to go about it if i cant do it with the Hexen DVD.

    I even tried Bios checker but it gives MD5 hash info without any chip information. It currently runs on the Evolution Dashboard however when booting up the xbox it has a custom logo on top left that appears was flashed with a custom bios. please see my image attached of the Mod Chip.
