In Filezilla, create a Site Entry in the Site Manager for connection to your Xbox. Set this new entry's properties except for the IP address as shown below: User: xbox Password: xbox then on the Transfer Settings tab make sure the settings are as shown below:

Must be a damaged or broken power button signal wire coming from the front panel to the motherboard or trace on the motherboard going to the PIC processor (System Management Controller).

The wire that's at the location of the gray wire here whatever color it is should be at 3.3Vdc. One brand of Xbox PSU used different colors; however, the voltage level locations are the same on the connector no matter the wire color used to connect them there. if you read 2.9Vdc at that location, is a bit too low. The voltage should be within +/- 5% (3.14 to 3.47 Vdc).
-
Oops, for some reason I thought they were talking about a 1.6 motherboard. I'll post the correct PSU connector voltage levels for a v1.4 motherboard.

There is a selective partition cloning option to select the partitions you want to clone but I've only used that option with a new empty HDD. However, I don't believe Chimp will work to clone only C and E (possibly X, Y, and Z too). I believe it first formats all partitions wiping anything off the current hard drive. (Edit: Not really formats but writes some zero fill data to the start of each partitions' location - Sys, X, Y, Z, E, C, F, G.) Code snippet from Chimp 261812's cloneab shell script: prepare_hd () { local t=$1 local h=$2 local s=$3 # just create the basic structre, 512k byte for Sys, X, Y, Z, C, E, F, G dd if=$h of=$t bs=512k count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=1 bs=512k count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=1501 bs=512k count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=3001 bs=512k count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=4501 bs=512k count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=5501 bs=512k count=1 > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=15633072 bs=512 count=1k > /dev/null 2>&1 dd if=$s of=$t seek=268435456 bs=512 count=1k > /dev/null 2>&1 } Edit: You know it may not even call the prepare_hd() function anymore. There seems to be a lot of extra unused code present in Chimp's shell scripts.

I deleted the info I'd posted here since it was for the wrong motherboard version.
-
There's an old thread on the r/originalxbox reddit forum with a same error message. Turned out the 3rd party controller they were using caused the flashing problem. Are you using a 3rd party controller? Edit: I believe the reason for that error is to indicate that not all functions of the XBlast Lite modchip are supported when the XBlast_OS is used with that modchip, not that the modchip is not flashable.

Since it occurs with the power button, front panel cable, disconnected from the motherboard, it has to be a damaged trace on the motherboard. Somewhere along the path to the Xyclops chip (System Management Controller - SMC) the power button signal trace is being grounded.

Which version of the Aladdin modchip do you have? Please post a picture of it. Need at least one picture showing the entire modchip side with all the chips visible on the PCB. A picture of the non-component side too if not soldered into the Xbox using the quick solder install method.

Can you post a video showing the double reset when IGR is activated. I need to see what it looks like or a better description of what is happening. The flubber animation plays through then it does so again. Or, the screen flashes as the console resets no flubber startup animation plays but the screen again blanks then the startup animation plays. The eject button flashes green then goes off then flashes again and the startup animation plays. I need more info.

What brand/model is the other Xbox locked hard drive? There are default manufacturer passwords that can be used to unlock the drive. Was the dead console it is being taken from modded?
-
This drive may not work. Looks like it's a special edition intended to be used to record video for a CCTV system. The ATA locking feature found in all retail SATA drives may have been removed. I'm not saying it has been removed but specialty drives (if it actually does use custom firmware) may not work.
-
Possibly. Here's bennydiamond's writeup on how he thinks the TSOP_M7.bin flash recovery works: https://assemblergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=241&start=10 As long as the 2BL portion of the X3 BIOS loads like the stock or most modified BIOSes, this recovery with the XBlast Lite booting this special recovery BIOS and A15 connected from the XBlast Lite to the Xbox motherboard's A15 point may just work to allow reflashing the TSOP. Note: I have not tested this operation to know if it will or will not work.
-
Shoddy soldering on the PCB"s IDE, SATA and possibly power connector as well as bad caps. Several people have mentioned replacing the two electrolytic caps on the PCB with new ones fixed theirs. Not sure if they also did any other touch up work on the other connectors previously mentioned as well.
-
There is no IGR in XBMC. The Evox M8+ BIOS is the only thing that would be resetting the console when activating IGR.
-
Seems more people have problems with the Focus encoder for high-definition output when connecting one of the HDMI adapters from Hyperkin, Pound Technology or their Chinese clones.

The traces that cause the problem are on the bottom of the motherboard. There are 4 that run along the front edge of the motherboard from the front panel connector grid section: 3V through 7V then go into 8W, 8U, 8T, etc making there way from the front edge towards the back heading to the custom Xyclops chip (System Management Controller) on a 1.6 motherboard. Generally trace damage occurs from leaked clock cap electrolyte; however, the clock cap on a 1.6 is not near these traces. It is between the IDE connector and Xyclops chip at location C8C3/C8C1. So, check the front panel buttons, especially the power button, are they stuck in the pressed in position.
-
The BIOS's DVD check disabled option doesn't prevent the Xbox from booting a DVD when you power on the console. It is used to disable the BIOS's check to make sure that an Xbox DVD drive is connected to the IDE and DVD power/control cable of the Xbox.
-
The X3 BIOS will only run from the X3 modchip. It will NOT run from a TSOP.

DeLock discontinued the 61702 adapter. The replacement part is 62510 which uses the same Marvell 88SA8052 chipset but now comes with a different power cable like the one StarTech ships with their IDE2SAT2 adapter. -

This 6.2GB ISO will have to have the files extracted from it using XDVDMulleter Beta 10.2 first, then upload the extracted content to a subfolder in the Games directory on your Xbox. Run DVD2Xbox and select the option to apply the ACL to the content in the subfolder where you uploaded it.
-
what happens when you try to apply the ACL to the content already stored on the hard drive?
-
Supposed to do that. The reason most electronic devices state, "No user serviceable parts inside."
