Hello to you all! I'm new here, so there are tons of things that I have to learn about my original xboxes. I've been modding them for like a year now and learned everything I know from forums like this one. Now I have a problem with my 1.6 Xbox. I bought it as non tested/spare parts, then found out it had a modchip installed and really only needed some good cleaning. The problem is the chip is a XenoFx, and I can't find enough informations about it anywhere. I want to flash a newer bios on it to fully recognise my 250gb hdd, but it seems to be write protected. I tried everything powering it on: 1, 2, 5 seconds, holding the white button. The light is red and always on. Hexen2018 and 2020 can see it as a sst 49lf002a but can't erase it apparently. Does this chip require some soldering on it to disable write protection? Or is it just not flashable? Sorry for the image quality, it's the only one I have at the moment. On the chip it says XenoFx www.xenofx.com
