1.4 Board My First Tsop Flash

[Smeagolized]

Could I have some advice please on a way to TSOP flash a bios of recommendation without the use of the DVD drive. So off the hard drive or USB.

I take it that the Xbox is already softmodded.?

You could use Xblast to flash the TSOP from the hard drive or via your network.

Soft modding is like masturbating, It get's the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

So you would recommend xblast to flash bios from the HDD.

 

Yes console is soft modded with jrocky5 1.17

Yep 

You need the flash enable links on the board the put the bios your planning on using at C:/bios via ftp

FTP the Xblast as well if need be the C drive.

You then boot and then run Xblast then settings,flash menu,HDD Flash.

What bios would you recommend me to flash?

You can install HexIns (found in HeXEn > Stockfiles) to the HDD by FTP. It must be located: E:\HexIns not in Apps.

I did that myself with my first and so far only TSOP because the Xbox I was using, bought specifically for the purpose, came with a dodgy DVD drive. It actually failed completely shortly afterwards. Worked perfectly for a Winbond flash on a v1.4 - walks you through it.

Unless you're desperate for a configuration file to mess around with you cannot do better than one of the EvoX M8+ 137 versions. If your DVD drive is not working there are a couple of EvoxM8+ BIOS included in TruHeXEn 2019 marked as "nodvd" which might be a good option if your DVD drive is borked. I'd assume they're 256K but that does need to be confirmed.

Unfortunately, I've just checked, and TruHeXEn 2019 does not include HexIns. That is found in HeXen 2017 and, I think, the 2018 update.

I would use a Evox M8 or a X2 4981

x2.4981.67.bin

evox.m8plus.fc.137.bin

I don't want to open a new thread, but have a chipped 1.4 with 60GB HDD,that I have to remove to install it on another console, in addition to doing the 2 points for the flash of the TSOP there are other tricks I would not want to do a bad flash?

To flash the TSOP you need to boot from the TSOP and remember to use a 256kb bios for the TSOP chip something like an  X2-4981.67 or a Evox M8

So the xbox will need to boot from the hard drive without the chip fitted and to run the software to flash it you will need to have it softmodded.

If you have a Winbond chip unfortunately Xblast can not flash it I use a an app called raincoat that can be run from a HDD or most install DVD's have a flash program on them that can flash a winbond chip.

Solved softmodded with Splinter Cell, removed the chip and flash TSOP.
