For a 1.0 Xbox, Pin 4 in the header has to be removed as there is no hole for pin 4. Install a 2x6 header (12 pins). Connect the D0 pad of the modchip to the D0 point on the 1.0 motherboard - either the top via or alternate test pad location on the bottom of the motherboard. There is no LPC Debug port rebuild required on a v1.0 motherboard. All the signals are connected to the pin locations on the port. A rebuild is only required on a v1.6 motherboard since MS did not connect the signals to the pin header locations for many of them.

You flash the BIOS to the main flash memory by booting into the FlashBIOS (power on with both Power and Eject buttons). Select the Enable Network Flashing option in the menu and press A. Connect to the Xbox using a web browser to the IP address shown. You can then follow the onscreen instructions to browse to the X3_3294.bin file on your PC to flash the new BIOS. The X3's bank select panel should be set to select the first 1MB BIOS bank. Note: The Xbox needs to be connected to your home network for Network Flashing to work. Bank 1234: on on off off (Set to this when flashing first time with FlashBIOS) The bottom flash protect switch should be off.

I don't understand that S.M.A.R.T. data. I see reallocated sectors count Current = 100 and Worst = 100 but the raw value only states 30. So, why's it say 100 for Current. I think some values are in percentages thus Current is 100% reallocated sectors which is actually 30 sectors that have been reallocated. ??? I don't know. And, the threshold of reallocated sectors for a bad drive is 36 which you are near with 30 reallocated already. I personally think no filesystem should be present on the drive. It should not be formatted to FAT, FAT32, NTSF etc. It should be a drive void of such filesystem info. That's what the low-level format tool does. Wipes it clean.

Was the 500GB drive already used in another computer - it has a filesystem on it already? If so, wipe it clean using HDDGuru's HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool or delete the partitions currently present with Windows' Disk Management tool.

XBlastOS v0.56 (XBE app to run on the Xbox and a dot bin for flashing to a compatible modchip/TSOP - doesn't seem to work on an OpenXenium modchip at this time.) is available at https://bitbucket.org/psyko_chewbacca/lpcmod_os/downloads/ (if you can't see / access the above URL try the following one. You'll need to remove the additional spaces that have been added: https:// bitbucket.org / psyko_chewbacca / lpcmod_os / downloads /

With the .06 BIOS, I believe you can have 1 extended partition - 6, the F drive, up to 927.78GB's (When properly configured using XBPartitioner v1.3 to use 64KB cluster allocation) in addition to the stock 8GBs in C, E, X, Y, and Z - partitions 2, 1, 3, 4, 5. To use a 2TB drive, you need a .67 BIOS.

Measure the resistance from the PIC processor's pin 15 to the ADM1032's pin 7 - SDA. On a 1.4, the PIC processor, System Management Controller is labeled U7B2 and the ADM1032 U6F1.

Sounds like your IDE-to-SATA adapter does not have a MASTER/SLAVE jumper setting. Some have a jumper but it is not for selecting the IDE device the attached SATA drive is accessed at on the IDE bus. Some IDE-to-SATA adapters are always the MASTER device. To clone with Chimp 261812, the new hard drive has to be set as SLAVE.

But, both CPU's thermal diode reading and motherboard's temperature, actually the ADM1032's internal sensor detecting the temperature of the air surrounding it) are reading 0°. Changing the paste may have affected the CPU's reading but should not have changed the ADM1032 internal sensor reading. One thought Maybe the SDA trace going to the ADM1032 chip is open/cracked. When the System Management Controller addresses the temp sensor, it always reads a value of 0 from the sensor thus a temperature of 0. Not exactly sure if that's exactly how the sensor's value is converted to the displayed temperature reading.

Looks like it should be compatible. Just need to make sure the package's form factor fits the pad layout present on the Xbox's motherboard. SOIC-8 I see Digi-Key has them SOIC-8 packaged chips available in many different deliverable package types: cut tape bulk tube digi-reel tape & reel etc. Some deliverable packaging types can be purchased with a minimum quantity of 1 while others like tape-and-reel require a 2500 or 5000 minimum quantity (1 entire reel). bulk packaging, min. quantity 1 but for $0.12 each instead of $0.11 as your original posted item. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/stmicroelectronics/M24C02-RMN6P/497-8559-ND/1663564

The dashboards still display both the CPU and motherboard temperatures at 0 degrees.

Found another novel way to read the Xbox's EEPROM on a computer running Linux with a VGA port posted by Jesenko Mehmedbasic. (Note: DVI and HDMI ports have the I2C interface too) Yes, through the VGA connector! It has an I2C interface to read the Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) stored on a serial eeprom in the monitor. Image Source: https://mehmedbasic.dk/media/xbox-pinout.jpg For details, see: https://mehmedbasic.dk/post/xbox-eeprom/ and for the eeprog software, they used: http://www.codesink.org/eeprog.html

It is U6F1 Also, clean any leaked residue around the two capacitors C6F2 and C6F3.

Something like this is what you need: Or this one:

I don't believe that will work. It's simply an RS-232 to TTL-level converter.

If it's a v1.6 motherboard, the temp sensor's reading is unreliable. Most of the homebrew software (dashboards) were written before the 1.6 revision came out and no updates were made to properly read that motherboard's temperatures correctly. On a 1.6 motherboard, MS removed the AD1032 chip and included some or all of it's functionality in the custom Xyclops chip. However, IIRC, the new temp sensor's I2C address changed. Is it a 1.6 motherboard? If not, you may need to clean the motherboard area around the AD1032 chip. I've seen leaked clock cap electrolyte reach this chip and cause bad readings. (An Xbox I helped fix was always sensing an overheating condition and causing the System Management Controller to flash the eject ring orange and speed up the cooling fans to 100% then shortly powering off the console since it was not sensing a drop in the CPU temperature.)

Run EnigamH's Video Select v2 (can be found on the Internet under many slightly different name variations). Press the button indicated for NTSC or PAL mode. Reboot the console, you are now in the mode you selected. If set to NTSC and a high-definition AV cable is attached, run the MS dashboard to enable the high-definition modes 480p and 720p found in the menu under: Settings > Video.

In another forum thread here at OGXbox.com @Rocky5 stated where trainers go: trainers also go in Q:\system\trainers (fixed background and text color) @nikeymikey asked: Some of my dvd covers have a white controller logo in the top left corner, anyone know what it is? Is it something to do with trainers? I have some games with the little grey circle logo, i thought that was for trainers as it goes yellow when the trainer is activated.... (fixed background and text color) @Rocky5 replied: Controller means you have played the game. Little grey circle is the trainer found icon, it turn yellow when you enable a trainer. Both can be disabled in the skin settings > toggles menu (fixed background and text color)

Does it do that? I thought it always split the screen to a top and bottom viewing area, not side by side.

The MS dashboard is more than one file - xboxdash.xbe. The archive, Clean_C_and_E_Files_for_Xbox.7z, has the complete set of files/folders for the 5960 version of the MS dashboard. You only need to upload all the files and folders in the extracted C subfolder, not sure why they included E as the empty folders it has are not necessary to be installed to the E drive. Edit: Oh, by the way, the video settings are stored in the configuration EEPROM on the Xbox motherboard.

Your Xbox must still be set to PAL mode. To do higher resolutions, you will need to switch it to NTSC and enable 480p and 720p in the MS dashboard video settings. (The Xbox application EnigmaH Video Select 2 is used to switch the Xbox's video output between PAL and NTSC modes.) PAL consoles can only output a maximum of 576i@50 or 60Hz. Edit: I don't believe those cheap component cables sold on eBay etc use the proper cabling for the high-speed component video signals. They should be using 75 Ohm shielded RG-59/U coaxial cable for the Y, Pr and Pb signals. Most likely, they are using an unshielded pair of wires which works okay for low-bandwidth analog audio signals but not the much higher bandwidth video signals which results in the interference you are seeing on the screen.

Is there a sticker on the top of the chip? Xbox TSOP flash memory chips:

It depends how you plan on using it. Cloning with Chimp 261812 - no - it needs to have a MASTER/SLAVE jumper to configure it to SLAVE mode when cloning then back to MASTER once the new drive has been prepped. Using a new hard drive with the TSOP reflashed with a modded BIOS or a modchip is installed - yes it will work okay. Connect the new HDD and adapter in place of the original hard drive and boot an installer disk such as HeXEn 2018 or 2019 to format and prep the new hard drive.

You could try the XBE version of XBlastOS v0.56 (aka lpcmod_OS by psykochewbacca) to reflash the TSOP. I believe it supports a wider variety of controllers than the Gentoox Loader. Do you know the USB identifier value for your controller - the vendorID : productID pair? If you have a female Xbox controller port to male type-B USB cable, you can attach the controller to a USB port on your PC and use usbview to obtain the value.

I'd say using either of those two options are on the same level of difficulty. Yes, it's the 24WC02J - 8-pin 2Kbit serial EEPROM (256 bytes) between the TSOP flash memory chip and the PIC processor (System Management Controller). Grimdoomer's tutorial web page on using a Raspberry Pi and PiPROM software to read the configuration EEPROM's data. ExtraordinaryBen's DuinoBoX at github.com. Edit: Once you have the data read, if the chip itself is not dead, load the eeprom.bin file created into Yoshihiro's LiveInfo_Beta_3-Xbox_v1.6 Windows application. It may show that one of the two checksum values are in error or the HMAC-SHA1 Hash of the entire content is bad. I think it will recalculate those values to fix the content when you use the save option to write a file to the PC. (I'm not 100% sure if it can do that or not.) You could also open it in a hex editor and try to determine if the content is corrupted. The configuration EEPROM's content is documented at https://xboxdevwiki.net/EEPROM.
