FerociousOG Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Fudge.... Before it use to show Winbond and unknown, unknown. Now all Unknown. Maybe I'm not making contact? Â Â Edited July 5, 2020 by FerociousOG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I would just try and flash it, The worst that will happen is it will say flash not writeable iND-BiOS.5004.67.bin This is the BIOS I would flash and it been a winbond you need to use that method.  Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerociousOG Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Flash Failed!! Am I missing an additional solder point? I'm going to try speaker wire. Also did see this...

FerociousOG Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) PROGRESS! So the issue might be the other solder point. I redid R7D1 w/ speaker wire and now CHIP TYPE -> Winbond is seen by the BioChecker disc again. Interesting cause this is what would previously come up on R7D1 which I thought is wasn't making contact. Going to redo R7D10 which seems to be related to 256k Bios.

FerociousOG Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) Got it! Watched several videos again and noticed this one which shows the CHIP TYPE but unknown for all the BIOSES. So I tried to flash and took it. What thru me off was seeing the BIOSES as unknown and I assumed I had a bad solder bridge.

FerociousOG Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Q: Now that I'm TSOP would it be safe to undo the bridged solder points? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ging3rguy Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Yes, but why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerociousOG Posted July 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Just curious for best practice. Noticed with the SHARP bios flash several videos recommend removing a extra cable to bridge to avoid future damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just leave it on.The only time I remove the links are if the customer is likely to try and reflash themselves and stuff it. If you are worried leave the one that caused problem and remove the good one.  Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS_Dave Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I have seen that when the HDD is not connected Are you sure the BIOS is looking in the correct location for the Dashboard Have a look in the ind-bios.cfg file on C drive.

FerociousOG Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Some more info. -OG Xbox 1.4 w/ 2TD HDD. -Both DVD Dr's are Phillips. -When I flashed the Ind-Bios I used DVD Dr from my 1.1 cause the DVD Dr from 1.4 was having issues reading the discs, even originals. Tested and everything worked. -I removed solder from one of the TSOP bridges for safety reasons. -Put this ogx back together w/ original DVD Dr and got the kernel panic. -Re-soldered the bridge and same issue. -I swapped DVD Dr from the 1.1 and it boots fine. -Swapped back to the DVD Dr. from the 1.4 and Kernel panic. What am I missing? What should the jumper on the IDE2SATA adapter be set to (Master or Slave)? Thx in advance...

SS_Dave Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I always set the jumper to master as the 80 way lead has to be  fitted backward. Meaning the end that is going to the MB would normally be the HDD end and if the HDD is set cable select it thinks it's a slave. Also I have seen philips DVD drives with faulty PCB's the yellow circles are corroded via points. Zoom in near the IDE connector. With the IND BIOS you can leave the DVD drive fully disconnected and the Xbox will still boot fine.   Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

FerociousOG Posted July 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 I’m using an 40 pin IDE cable. Is there really and advantage using the 80 pin EIDE? My understanding this EIDE standard was nothing more then WD marketing. I unplugged the DVD and get Kernel panic. Will take DVD Dr apart tomorrow. Thanks!

SS_Dave Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 You must use a 80 way IDE if you have a Sata to Ide adaptor..  Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerociousOG Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 -Switched to 80 pin EIDE cable and kernel panic went away. THANKS! -Here is a pic of the Phillips circuit board. Looks ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 7, 2020 Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 Yes that one looks all good.
