JamerDoo Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the detailed guide. My soldering skills are weak but I managed to successfully bridge the points with out destroying the board to enable writable TSOP on my original 1.0 Xbox and on a 1.1 Xbox as well.

VoltXT7 Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 @SS_Dave Could you share with us the "method" to TSOP Flash the Atmel Chip ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 From memory I used Raincoat to flash it and I think Hexen can flash it as well Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

So if you're going to have kids messing around with the xbox, either remove Evo X so it can't be flashed anymore from the console, or remove the jumpers. Most leave the jumpers connected.

ieblj01 Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Just wanted to add to the conversation that using conductive paint works very well. Early in my adventures of hard modding, I ruined a motherboard beyond repair even trying the alternate soldering points. Since then I have gotten really good at solding, but there is always a chance things might go wrong. The paint works just like the solder does, but you can't pull a pad, have your soldering iron too hot, etc. If you mess up, the paint can easily be removed for you to try again. I got it from Amazon for $13 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KBXT6JW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details *obviously if you have a v1.6 and need a mod chip, then the paint is a no go Edited September 30, 2021 by ieblj01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 This conductive shielding paint works too, I knew a guy that flashed a crazy amount of xboxs using it years ago, one bottle of it lasted him forever https://www.guitaraust.com.au/body/electronics/shielding-paint.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnito Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 For those of you with the AR hardware or a modded Xbox controller plugged into your PC, I updated this with the latest Rocky5 and the 8 MB Version of the OGXBox XBlastOS MC TSOP Flasher v1.8.0 (26.09.2022), I just repacked the saves into AR format.Boot ISO (rufus, dvd-r, or vm) and drag and drop the saves the the MC.

Slavik916 Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Hello. i wanted to upgrade ram and did tsop xblastOS 0.56 on atmel at49f002a chip. I updated the memory, everything is fine, BUT ... bios refuses to flash from hdd and via net. When choosing a 256kb bios, he asks to press the triggers, start and the white button, after pressing it he simply goes back to the menu, and is not sewn. When flashing via net, I select the bios in the browser on the PC, the page says that I should not turn off the box, but the xbox does nothing, it just goes back to the menu. I recorded the ISO9660 standard on DVD, the image.bin file in the root of the disk, xbox writes that it cannot find it. jumpers are all worth it because tsop was made. What to do please tell me ... xbox cristal edition, chip atmel at49f002a. year of release 05.02.2004 I did tsop as a non windbond via hexen. when loading the console, xblast starts, but does not want to be flashed back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to put ST or Windbond instead of it? Or solder and flash on the TL866 2 Plus programmer on TSOP32.

KaosEngineer Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 That is the first Atmel TSOP I've seen on an Xbox motherboard. Thanks for sharing the photo. Try using Evoxdash to flash a BIOS to the Atmel TSOP instead of XBlastOS. I do not see the Atmel flash listed in the supported flash chips of XBlastOS. When using Evoxdash's Flash BIOS menu option, what does it display for the Manufacturer and Device IDs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With it booting the console, you can't do normal Xbox things like play a game or run the stock or replacement dashboard from the hard drive. Edit: Unsolder it from the motherboard, flash a modified Xbox BIOS to it using an external programmer, then resolder it to the motherboard. XBlastOS's flashing software most likely has the ability to flash an Atmel 49F002A; however, it doesn't know that it can. The chip's ID is not included in the known flashtypes data structure.

KaosEngineer Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hmm, you may be able to boot one of the Linux-based flashing discs to reflash the Atmel TSOP. It runs the Linux application raincoat to flash the TSOP. https://legacy.downloads.diomtec.com/mnt/downloads_ams3_01/old_downloadshomebrew/xbins/Console Based Applications/bios/bios tools/Eurasia Flash Disc/eurasia_pro_generic_flash_disc_1_3.zip You'll have to replace the bios.bin file with the BIOS you want to flash to the TSOP. Or, create a second BIOS disc and swap disc when it ejects the DVD tray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowlsnapper Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 I know this isn't helpful... but is it ever really worth it to desolder the TSOP, solder the legs to a programmer and then solder it back to the motherboard? I mean I would rather just pay 40 bucks for an openxenium and be done with it. Of course, maybe somebody would want to get experience with soldering ICs, which isn't the worst thing in the world, I suppose. Edit: Maybe I'm missing the point. Something like this is supposed to be a fun project, while learning something at the same time. I don't think anybody mods Xboxes anymore because it's relevant or practical.

And you have that nice feeling when you fixed it because you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
