I used the ENDGAME package to softmod, then mounted the ISO for the extra disc and attempted to install MS Dash. It goes through the process, but I notice on the file copy screen the "from" and "to" are blank and don't show file paths. At the end it says it was successful, but there it's not there when I go back to the Applications menu. I also tried to install DVD2Xbox and it fails with a blank error window. My extra disc menus also have a an empty menu item that I haven't seen in any video tutorials or screenshots. I went to factory reset using the mounted ISO and I get an error Unable to launch "E:\Prep\default.xbe". File does not exist. Hoping you can help @Rocky5 ! Some other details: Retail 4034 BIOS Version V1.0 Kernel 1.0.4034.1 Dash Version 0.39.052BA Build 584 Softmod v1.2.1

Hi. I have softmodded my Xbox to store the eeprom in case of an hdd failiure. But i am not interested in using it this way. I want to set it back to original state. After installing the "Xbox Softmodding Tool Extras Disc.iso" there is the option to set it back to factory default. But during this process, it copys savegame data from exploit games to the system and also an undeleteable soundtrack. I can delete the savegames afterwards, but the empty soundtrack entry can not be deleted. It just does not do it. I can delete it manually by removing "E:\TDATA\FFFE0000" which contains an folder music and a ".db" file. But this only helps in the softmodded state. It will be restored by the factory reset function. So i guess it is some kind of music related exploit? The problem is that i can not copy music from cd to the harddrive in the original MS dashboard because i get an fault that the max. numbers of tracks are reached. Anyone got an solution for this? Thank you in advance.

So when I thought my only possibility for a hardmod in 2020 was an Alladin X2, I decided to TSOP my 1.0 Xbox. That went successfully and it has IND5003.67 which works fine. I then came across someone selling OpenXenium chips with more bells and whistles than Team Xodus released and picked up one. After installing everything and flashing with X2 5035, the TSOP is now doing nothing and I'd like to revert it back to stock however I cannot find anything about the process. Can anyone shed some light on how I need to proceed? Thanks in advance!

Only recently ive been looking at this manufacturing proces part where they get the kernel on the motherboard. "our" Blake Clements @OGXbox Admin linked me at facebook to the following url: http://www.ogxbox.com/archive/xboxsecurity.html look at the Modchip part. It states that But I do not know if this is said based on the observation mentioned or based on internal Microsoft or flextronics manufacturing personal. Blake also said that: So, the LPC port was used for programming? A bed of nails (pogo pins) should and probably be used to connect the write enable pins on the motherboard to enable the flash writing of the then onboard tsop. I do not know for sure if this is posible but I rather for now asume it was. because we cant flash tsop today whne the xbox has been booted from LPC (modchip boots can only flash modchip, not the tsop, even of you remove the modchip prior to flashing) Connecting to lpc and connecting the write enable lines using pogopins could be done, altho I dont know how they would write to flash from LPC. the MCPX doesnt allow flash write in a LPC boot right? maybe a unkown mode? anyway, pure onboard tsop writing by connecting to the tsop directly would be a pain, but posible with fine pitched pins. not sure if the board would allow that with the mcpx on the same wires. All logic I can come up with is that MS would send their kernel to the tsop manufactorer and let them preprogram all tsops before soldering. then at the factory MS could use a bed of pogopins and a "recovery disk" to install a newer kernel if they wanted as long as the xbox booted from tsop. any other sources or interviews that claim or verify either side are welcome. movies and pictures of this proces too. most details I know came or will be added to: http://xboxdevwiki.net/Manufacturing_Process
