UnD3RtAk8R Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hey guys, i have a problem presented on my xbox consoles and i need your insights, i am gonna put it in numerical order to make it easier to read and understand the situation I have 2 OG Xbox's , 1 hardmoded with aladdin chip and 1 softmoded with rocky's 5. both consoles got shorted and the old hdd they had probably is dead due to faulty ide/sata adapters(the adapter looks crisped) before trying any upgrade on the hdd of both consoles i had backed up with FTP the C,E drives, and ofcourse the eeprom folder from the softmoded one. i have 2 new 1TB drives that i want to insert on this consoles to upgrade their space, (havent got new ide/sata adaptors yet) problem is that i cant seem to power em up now with their original drive no matter what i do, it seems that the moment the molex cable plug in the older hdd the xbox just powering down and wont start again unless i remove the molex cable from the older hdd, that time ofcourse it will power up but with no power i get the 07 error . Both consoles have exact the same problem i read somewhere that this older drives can have a TVS Diode issue if the power inside the console is disrupted. So my questions now is the following, Can i use something on my PC to pass the eeprom from the backup i have on a new HDD and then this HDD will be the main one on my xbox? Also i know that with the hardmoded xbox i have i could just plug in the new HDD and it will promty me to format it and then i could FTP the files from my pc to the xbox and eveything would be ok, but it seems that my hardmoded xbox even with the new disk get the 07 error. so the links from amazon with the compoments i used are this , The IDE cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000TND1VI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 , The Adapter from IDE to SATA https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mavis-Laven-Interface-Parallel-Converter-default/dp/B07TBDKD2F/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=ide+to+sata&qid=1593092515&sr=8-8, The HDD https://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-WD10EZEX-7200RPM-INTERNAL/dp/B00DB457IM/ref=sr_1_7?crid=3QLPQSZFKAEQ5&dchild=1&keywords=western+digital+1tb&qid=1593092570&sprefix=western+digital+1tb%2Caps%2C216&sr=8-7, The molex splitter https://www.amazon.co.uk/C2G-Female-Splitter-Extender-Y-Cable-Black/dp/B001U3ZPTC/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1BU875WRPW5O1&dchild=1&keywords=molex+splitter&qid=1593092593&sprefix=molex+sp%2Caps%2C218&sr=8-3 So now i am with 2 xbox that i cannot use, even 1 xbox to use for my games would be perfect until i find a way to fix the 2nd, i am gonna need some help on how to proceed, basically i have backed up on both consoles folders and i need to find a way to use them somehow in order to have a working console, can i use my new HDD and transfer the files inside? or without the working console i am as good as screwed?

Ging3rguy Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Do you have the hdd key for your softmod on your pc or is it on the dead softmod hdd? If you have the hdd key you can build the replacement softmod hdd using xboxhdm on your pc. Is your modchip Xbox booting up an then giving you an error code? Have you tried booting the modchip Xbox with an install disk and your replacement hdd installed, you should be asked if you want to format and build the drive?

Have you tried booting the modchip Xbox with an install disk and your replacement hdd installed, you should be asked if you want to format and build the drive? Yep i have the hdd key for my softmode xbox on my pc. I just dont know which program to use to build the replacement hdd and how to do it. The modchip xbox is booting up with the new drive but gives me the 07 error code. A guy in reddit told me that this might mean the hdd getting timed out also, so still i need a new adaptor IDE to SATA, gonna grab 2-3 from startech which seems to be much better than the cheap ones. And i did tried it with the install disk of hextech on this one and got the same error 07 again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 1. You can use xboxhdm to try and unlock your dead drive and also build your new softmod. Watch this to understand how to use Xboxhdm, you can use it to lock and unlock your drive as well as build the softmod. https://youtu.be/y_n8kEQfgdE 2. Changing the adapter should hopefully sort the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution: Check the IDE Connection/Cable and check the Power Supply. What part was shorted If the Xbox power supply output has had a short(5 volt and 12 volt) at the hard drive power connector the IDE chip on the main board may also be damaged Can you post a pic of the power supply aand the main board Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

When i connected the adapter and the new HDD it was fine and the xbox powered up just had the 07 error. IF though i plugged the molex on the old HDD the xbox wouldnt power up at all, maybe a small flash on the power ring for less that 1 second and then nothing. Here is a picture of the adapter and both power supplies https://imgur.com/U33Az4f ,https://imgur.com/wto9ELM , https://imgur.com/m1InKD9 , https://imgur.com/3CmT185 . When i tried to hotswap the disks in order to upgrade them, then it was when everything occured, used the same adaptor on both xbox so it might be the adapter that damaged something, tommorow i will post the picture of the motherboards.

Benur75 Posted June 25, 2020 Report Share Posted June 25, 2020 Hello, on the last photo. I see a capacitor that is starting to blow! Just under CPU. Your IDE 2 SATA adapter seems to be very low quality. When I buy these, I start to replace the 2 caps by panasonic caps. Then it works, but your seems to have been repaired, saddly repaired ! Is it a new adapter ? bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a new adapter ? bye it is brand new by amazon estimate, i just got a bad piece i guess, so now i will buy more with better quality this time. Is it possible though to got exact the same issue on both xbox by one bad adapter? what type of capacitor is this next to cpu? probably i can find it on amazon?

Benur75 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 If you want a perfect home print protection, use this one if you have a 3D printer. This is the one I use, that's perfect, that don't move anymore: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2875749 For your caps, please buy only panasonic or high quality caps, low esr, respecting the µF value and at least the power value, for easy install, keep the same diameter. In which country are you ? bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested the old caps from 1 I changed and the 5 volt supply cap marked at 470uf tested at 400uf and the 12 volt supply one marked at 470uf tested at 420uf Even a cheap cap should be within -10% and +20% of it's marked value Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
