Looks like the write enable bridge has been removed from the top points at R7D3. I suspect  the bridge across the pads on the bottom of the motherboard at R7R3 has been removed too. :(

Well, looks like end of the story. Thanks for the help anyway.

Use a 256KB BIOS iND-BiOS 5004 F and G (aka Beta Feb-11-05)

You don't have to use a 512KB BIOS just because your TSOP flash memory device can support one.

1.0 and 1.1 Xbox's have a 1MB TSOP packaged flash memory chip that holds the BIOS/Kernel.  For a 256KB BIOS, the flashing software writes 4 copies one after the other to fill the chip and for a 512KB BIOS two copies.

Note: Not all flashing software writes multiple copies of the BIOS file to fill the chip (e.g., GenToox Loader).  But I believe it's only used to flash the Sharp brand TSOP flash chip.

Great! Time to fill it up.

One complain, xbox boot up too long, first i have "Loading ind-bios" for about 30 sec, then i have normal xbox intro but modified for IND-BIOS (white background, green text and logo) next 30 seconds.

Okay, I have that same ind-bios.cfg file on my Xbox. 

I'm using a Western Digital 320GB IDE hard drive.

From power on till UnleashX's menu appears is ~10 seconds.  Well its really hard to tell with my current configuration - X3 modchip with X3 BIOS running- then booting into ind-bios

The loading ind-bios  message stays on the screen for about 6 seconds then the iND-BIOS white splash screen appears for less than a second then UnleashX's splash screen followed by its main menu appearing.

Oh, wait I have to change the DIP switches to select bank 8 that I have flashed with ind-bios 5004.67.

Update: I changed the DIP switches to select bank 8 and power cycled to boot ind-bios 5004.67. The time from power on until UnleashX's main menu appeared is ~20 seconds.

  • ind-bios loading ~6 seconds
  • flubber animation ~6 seconds
  • ind-bios splash screen 2-3 second
  • UnleashX splash screen 1 second then fades
  • a few more seconds (2-3) - the time here depends on how many files are installed on the hard drive - the more apps present the longer it will take. I hear the disc drive seeking a lot as UnleashX scans the hard drive folders set up to create the menus.
  • then UnleashX's main menu appears

After changing the bank select to boot ind-bios 5004.56 directly, it seems strange that the length of time the ind-bios splash screen is displayed increases a couple of seconds  as compared to loading ind-bios from the X3 Config Live (X3CL) Bios Tools menu. No flubber animation is displayed between loading ind-bios and the white ind-bios splash screen. It was already displayed while booting the X3 BIOS before going into the X3CL menu.
