Yellow and Red Flashing Lights.

[petey_signs]

I have a 1.0 TSOP was done by a friend years ago wanted to put the orgin 2tb image on it so i ran hexen 2018 got the harddrive installed was trying to figure out how to change to 64 bit clusters it said 16 But here were it all went wrong i put the hexen 2019 while browsing the disc went to use the bathroom left my xbox unattended when i came back my 6 year old nephew was holding the controller in his hand. The box ROL was flashing yellow and red and a blue screen (attached a image of the screen the box is stuck on)  . i am pretty much a noob when it comes to og xbox.  just wondering if it could be fixed  or is it toast .. Thanks for any help

Was XBlast OS on the hard drive?

Was the Hexen Disk in the DVD drive?

Red/Yellow flashing can indicate a RAM error. However, the XBlast OS changes the Eject ring to flashing red/yellow when it runs.

Did you power cycle the console?  All should be good after a restart.

Edit: Updated content above as I just ran XBlast OS on my console.  XBlast OS does change the Eject ring to flashing red/orange.  Use the D-pad to move right to the Settings icon, press (A) then down to the Power menu > Reboot highlighted and press (A).  Or, simply power cycle the console using the front panel power button.

How's your console modded?

Or, better how was it modded?  If a modchip is installed or TSOP reflashed (, your nephew ingeniously figured out how to flash a different BIOS to it.

Edit: You need to do the same. Replace the XBlast OS with the original BIOS you had flashed to the modchip/TSOP.

P.S. I really should read all of the text - How modded? - TSOP reflash.  You stated that from the beginning.

TSOP , where would i find the original bios and can i install it from the Xblast os since it seems to be stuck on it

here is a photo of bios checker i ran before it got all screwed up

update

[KaosEngineer]

Great news! You can reflash a different BIOS to the TSOP using the XBlastOS.

Do you know which BIOS was flashed to the TSOP before the XBlast OS upgrade?

[petey_signs]

xecuter2 4983.67

photo above in last post

[KaosEngineer]

Good for you saving that information.  However, I don't know that the X2 4983.67 BIOS will work to change the partitions to use 64KB clusters necessary to properly format the two extended partitions of a 2TB hard drive.  Partitions 6 and 7 must use 64KB clusters.  XBPartitioner (XBP) v1.3 must be used to set the partitions cluster size to 64KBs instead of 16KBs.  But, I believe, XBP v1.3 will complain that no LBA48 support is found.  At least, not the patch level it is looking for - v2 or greater. You will need to use a different BIOS - M8plus F and G on the Hexen 2019 disc, X2 5035 or iND-BiOS 5004.67.

But, let's first get you back to where you were:

You will need to download a copy of the X2 4983 BIOS archive to your PC:

X2.4983.BIOS.rar

Extract the contents and post back here when ready to proceed.

Move to the right using the D-pad to highlight the Settings icon.

Press (A) on the controller to see the Settings menu options.

D-pad down to Flash menu and press (A).

Post the text you see on the top line of the screen: 

Flash menu : <what's printed here>

 

 

[petey_signs]

ok 

downloaded the bios

should i install the bios over my network

[KaosEngineer]

Yes, use the Network flash option.

But first, what's printed on the first line of the screen after enter the Flash menu?

Flash menu : <text shown here = ???>

[SS_Dave]

You should setup team viewer and do it for him

[KaosEngineer]

Good idea @SS_Dave.

[petey_signs]

[KaosEngineer]

Hmm, that may be a problem.  I expected it to say TSOP 1MB, ST 49LF080, or something else indicating that XBlastOS recognized the flash memory chip it was going to be re-flashing.

Do you have TeamViewer installed on your computer? 

If not, can you install it? 

Do you have a Discord account? 

If so, use ogXbox.com's PM system to send me the account info (userid#number).

so i did it i updated the bios through an ip thanks for all your help 

[petey_signs]

so im gonna reinstall the 2 tb hard drive and update this bios which one should i use?

 

[KaosEngineer]

M8plus F and G from the Hexen 2018 disc.  I'm not sure how the M8plus BIOS on the 2019 disc is configured.

iND-BiOS.Beta.Feb-11-05.67.bin - upload the ind-bios.cfg file to the root folder of the C drive before flashing the BIOS to the TSOP.

Or, x2_5035_vOld_512k.bin - upload the x2config.ini file to the root folder of the E drive before flashing the BIOS to the TSOP.

 

[petey_signs]

 thanks for pointing me in the right direction . i got it up and running, should be about a week until i get the 2tb Xbox_Origins img from torrent. tried from usenet but was 30+ files short. 

[KaosEngineer]

With all the information that skin shows, you'd think the author would have included the Kernel version too.

I need help my xbox flashes yellow and red i cant get images up on the screen brought bew cords for it tryed to hook it up to tv but not working any ideas

[Prehistoricman]

Flashing yellow/red is actually normal when xblast OS doesn't detect an xblast or aladdin modchip.
