OGXbox Admin Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 This guide and pictures taken from: http://www.biline.ca/xbox_solder.htmTSOP Flashing Unlock points if you are unsure which Xbox version you have click Here TSOP unlock points for version 1.0/1.1 Xbox This is the top of the motherboard Connect the two solder pads at R7D3 as in photo above. This is the bottom side of motherboard Connect the two solder pads at R7R3 as in photo above. All Ver 1.0/1.1 Xbox's with a 'SHARP' TSOP chip must also connect the additional red wire as in the photo above. All other TSOP's DO NOT require this step. TSOP Unlock points for all Versions 1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5/ Xbox's This is the top side of the motherboard These Xbox's have both points located on the top of the motherboard, for the first point connect the two solder pads at R7D10 as in photo above. For the second point locate the junction between R7D2 and R7D1 and connect the two solder pads as in the photo above. After the solder points are completed you should re-assemble your xbox (but leave the top cover off) when the power button is pressed it should boot normally as it did before you started. Note if you get the message TSOP write protected while attempting to Flash the TSOP you might need to check and resolder the points to ensure a good connection was m while attempting to Flash the TSOP you might need to check and resolder the points to ensure a good connection was made. To split Split a 1MB TSOP (v1.0, v1.1) into 4 banks of 256k, the following picture explains how to accomplish this: Note: If you have a 1.6/1.6b Xbox, it has no TSOP and therefore you cannot flash it. You will have to install a modchip or softmod. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2Steve Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Just an additional note for Blake's post, you can split the TSOP in the 2-way split to have two 512k halves. if you complete this, it is recommended that you cut the A19 trace shortly after your solder point to keep the chip it is connected to from getting too hot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2Steve Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Also, here are the ALTERNATE TSOP points if you are like me and botch this more often than you care to admit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2Steve Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 so yeah for those of you who are super elite, you can totally do the 1.0-1.1 using only the top of the board.. just have to be really confident with your soldering skills Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnito Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 (edited) I take a speaker wire, strip out one tiny strand of copper, tin it, and lay that across the write points and solder it down. Then I wiggle the excess till it breaks off. Never pulled a pad using this method and it takes much less time. I don't use alt points though Edited May 3, 2017 by barnito Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incursion64 Posted October 27, 2017 Report Share Posted October 27, 2017 I’ve used 30awg kynar because I was using a crappy iron. Now I use a good iron and learned the air bridge technique and can do it in 5 seconds per bridge. the wire method is a safe way to go for beginners and as long as it gets the job done. Glad this guide was reposted, had to bridge the alternate points on a board with missing pads. Using 30 awg kynar it was a breeze. using wire on the alternate points is actually quite easy to do. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wikati Posted January 7, 2018 Report Share Posted January 7, 2018 elaborating further, what does the boot look like after this soldering job is done? how do we proceed with unsigned code? "flashing the tsop"; is that done with hexen? which bios works best for 1.0/1.1 VS 1.2-1.5... any difference at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you kindly for this thread, I successfully TSOP flashed my 1.4 on the weekend!!! used ind-5003 67 Stupid me didnt realize you need to softmod it then tsop it, which is just SO MUCH FREAKING FUN!!!! really it was, so far this seems even better than a modchipped box. Why? some kind of placebo thats making it emulate better. Edited January 9, 2018 by wikati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladez1992 Posted July 26, 2018 Report Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thanks for the alternate TSOP points T2Steve! Lifted both sets of R7D10 pads on my 1.4... no big deal now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malarrya Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 I pulled the square solder pad on the bottom of a 1.0 (R7R4). I just jammed a tiny piece of wire into the pad area, covered it with solder and tried the bridge again. I was able to get the TSOP writeable.

No. The points are just spots where the trace is exposed to solder to. Just connect the lines together at some point and you are good to go.

Project Zer0 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I'm having some issue's, I've done a tsop before with no problems but this time it's not working for me. I have a v1.1, whenever I solder the R7R3 connection my Xbox will no longer display any image. No errors just a black screen. I have tried using the alt points for R7R3 but no luck. Am I doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
