I don't understand why it's not booting, i flashed appropriate bios. Tsop worked perfect with previous bios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 The X3 BIOS will only run from the X3 modchip. It will NOT run from a TSOP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS_Dave Posted September 3, 2020 Report Share Posted September 3, 2020 Sound like a job for a Xblast lite chip to reflash the TSOP.. You could try the 3 wire trick.

Here's bennydiamond's writeup on how he thinks the TSOP_M7.bin flash recovery works: https://assemblergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=241&start=10 As long as the 2BL portion of the X3 BIOS loads like the stock or most modified BIOSes, this recovery with the XBlast Lite booting this special recovery BIOS and A15 connected from the XBlast Lite to the Xbox motherboard's A15 point may just work to allow reflashing the TSOP. Note: I have not tested this operation to know if it will or will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
