Mountaindew117 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Hello all, I was just wondering why my xbox will hang up after turning it on at the boot screen. I have done a successful tsop mod with the 256k bios on a v1.4 xbox with the evox m8 plus F and G but when it completely shuts down and i eject the disc it will do the blob animation while showing the ecox in the left top corner and it says linux under the xbox logo but hangs up and will not proceed any further to my dashboard. I installed the bios using hexen 2019 disc. I was told to try to rebuild the hard drive but not to sure on how to do that through hexen. Any and all help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks for your time and help. Edited October 1, 2019 by Mountaindew117 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Not that it matters but that sound like a version 1.6 bios. Have you tryed booting from the hexen dvd and remember that it can take a while to fully boot the eject led goes red then the screen can take upto 2 minutes to show anythng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaindew117 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 yeah its defiantly not 1.6 bios because in the hexen disc i have and option for 1.0 -1.5 bios and then theres a section for 1.6 only bios and i know i didn't click on 1.6 bios so theres no way its 1.6 bios that was flashed. Yes the console will boot from the hexen disc all day long but when ever i try to run the xbox with out the hexen disc it just hangs up on the xbox logo screen and doesn't boot into a dashboard of any kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaindew117 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Also hexen disc says the console is a 1.4. The console itself is a halo edition ogxbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Thats ok normaly the EVOX logo in top ledt is for a version1.6 Bios You can't have a softmod and a chip/flash at the same time or the bios is looking at the wrong spot for the OS Boot hexen go option 3 TSOP Flashed/chiped go option 3.5.2 as your box has a softmod on it of go the next down and start a fresh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaindew117 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 But to do the tsop I thought you had to have the console softmodded first before you could tsop/flash the bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 But now that you have reflashed the BIOS you need to remove the softmod. The Bios and the softmod are fighting each other and neither is going to win. You have 2 options put the original BIOS back on or remove the softmod.

KaosEngineer Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Take the Hexen disc out of the DVD drive. Showing Linux under the big X logo at the end of the flubber animation is an indication that Hexen is loading from the DVD. (Is the eject ring also RED instead of GREEN?) The stock unmodified Evolution-X distribution of M8plus or M8 for either 1.0-1.5 or 1.6 version Xboxes will have the purple Evo X shield in the upper left hand corner of the flubber animation.

Mountaindew117 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Even removing the disc and restarting the console with nothing in it, it still shows linux under the xbox logo with the evox shield in the top left corner. And I'm pretty sure the ring is green but I'm not sure off the top of my head plus I'm not home at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got me curious and had to have a look. You are correct the Evxo logo is there on both I was basing my assumption of the logo only for a 1.6 version on the DuoX2 chips that had a version 1.0 to 1.5 on one bank and a version 1.6 bios on the 2nd bank as the versios 1.6 bank had the Evox spash and no Evox for the others.

Mountaindew117 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 yeah i knew it couldn't have been a 1.6 but now i just need to figure out how to get it to boot to dashboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hello Mountaindew117 Are you going to change the Hard Disk? If yes just install the new drive and boot Hexen and to a install from option 3. When cmpleate remove the Hexen DVD and reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blob animation, xbox name and x shows up on screen, evo x shield in top left corner, and linux under the xbox logo and nothing further. No the hard disk is brand new when i built the drive prior to shelving the xbox. Cycling thru green, yellow, and red as per how I had set it up before this problem happened.

SS_Dave Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 That's good to hear your up and running The default user is xbox and password is xbox Check under settings, Network then make sure Enable is set to Yes Type is set to DHCP The top line is the IP of your Xbox. What program are you using for FTP on your PC? SS Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 In Filezilla Get into site manager then click on new site and give it a name Change the setting's to the same as below just put your Xbox's IP address in stead of the one shown and the Password is xbox Click OK to save Then click Connect.

What program are you using for FTP on your PC? SS Dave i use either winscp or filezilla and both of them i updated the other day to their current versions. I seem to have better luck using winscp over filezilla a lot of times filezilla sometime hangs up and stops transferring randomly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountaindew117 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 yeah either one I use it keeps giving me a time out error. I'm also using a windows 10 computer and my computer is hard wired into my router and then my xbox is also connected to it as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountaindew117 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2019 Thanks @SS_Dave For all the help. I have got it going now and i found out why it kept timing out was because the xbox wasn't saving my changes to the network setting between static and dhcp but i finally got it to save the change over to dhcp and all has been working great so far and i just fixed another problem i just had posted about with not getting all my space on my hard drive allotted to me. It kept telling me that i only had 270 gbs available to use when i have a 1tb sata drive in the xbox. But a quick rebuild of the hard drive with hexen and setting all space to f partition only all my free space is where it should be now.
