crazycyber Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Hi, I'm new on modding OG Xbox 1.0 and after a few days reading over the net I found this thread https://www.ogxbox.com/forums/index.php?/topic/1474-identify-mod-chip/ I think it's similar to mine The problem that I have is that my HDD dies a week ago showing error 07, then I found an IDE Segate ST3802110A (80 GB), check compatibility here https://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list, from an old PC and I have also burn a DVD -R with HeXEn 2018 that I found in this forum, but when I turn on with a long press it does't read the disc and only get the error 16. I never before saw the mod chip dashboard because when I get the Xbox in 2002 they told me the mod chip only works to read non original games if I long press the power button until the led becomes red, so I don't know which version of mod chip or bios I have thats why I can't replace my HDD. After I can replace my HDD i would like to update my modchip bios and install a newest dashboard for making mi Xbox to a emulator media and take advantage of this 80 GB HDD. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDShadow Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 Are you cold booting the disc ie. putting it in the disc tray, closing it then shutting down and restarting? If you've installed a new empty HDD it should offer you formatting and dashboard install options. Once a HeXEn disc spins up it still takes about 30 seconds to boot, you do have to be patient. With a chip whether the HDD can be locked or not is irrelevant so the compatibility list is not applicable. One reason for using a chip is so that you do not have to lock the HDD to be able to use it. You need advice from somebody who knows that chip but it sounds to me quite normal to get error 07 and then error 16 if there was a HDD problem. But with a new or empty HDD installed and a cold booted HeXEn or AID disc it should all be working. Forget about the BIOS at this point, if it was working before then it should be working now with a new HDD. Just concentrate on getting the new HDD to work and a dash installed.

Yes I've made a cold booting, the HDD is empty formatted as FAT, the HeXEn disc spins but don't boot after the flubber animation shows the 07 error. Can you tell me where to download AID disc?

HDShadow Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 A HeXEn disc should boot, using AID instead would just be wasting another disc. You shouldn't be getting 07 error, it should detect the disc is booting and stay on the Xbox/Microsoft screen. It sounds to me as though either the disc isn't burned correctly or its a media issue or a disc drive problem. Have you tried cold booting a genuine original Xbox game disc, not just a backup? If it doesn't boot it could be the disc drive is going bad or the chip isn't working or both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycyber Posted July 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 @HDShadow when I run an original game which a long press (suppose modchip turns on) I get error 21 but if I made a normal turn on it shows error 05. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 The mod chip is a Aladdin chip with a 256kb size BIOS and can easily be reflashed, The way it's wired in you Xbox it has the ability for the chip to be disabled by using the eject button to power on. It was done that way for Xbox Live. Service Error 07: Info: Hard disk timeout. Solution: Check the IDE Connection/Cable and check the Power Supply. I would think the hard drive has failed If you have a new hard drive fit it the load your hexen disk and shut down the Xbox and turn on with a tap of the power button, Hexen can take a while to load and the 1st thing you will notice is the eject led is red and a black screen just wait.

HDShadow Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 From the description, if the original game was cold booted, and its producing those errors crazycyber has the new (unlockable) HDD fitted and its working. Error 5 is unlocked HDD which is correct if the chip is not switched on. However with the chip on it provokes the generic 'somethings wrong': error 21. An original game disc should cold boot with the chip on. Its not so unless it is an IDE cable connection issue the two most likely culprits are the disc drive or the chip. I suppose there is another possibility too - the new HDD has not had the jumpers set to Master. Never tested what would happen with a chipped machine with the HDD set to slave when cold booting an original disc but I'd still check that anyway.

crazycyber Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Do you think if a make the C and E partitions with Xbox HD Maker on my PC (I don't have the EEPROM.bin) and then plugged to the Xbox could I boot from HeXEn DVD?

SS_Dave Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 If the mod chip is working and as long as there is a unlocked hard drive present(It can be blank new drive, A used PC drive,A used unlocked Xbox drive) it will boot a install disk from cold boot, That's providing the DVD drive is working .

Are you sure that you dvd drive is reading aftermarket disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
