EDIT: Which 49lf020 you have - 49lf020 / 49lf020A / 49lf020B? Edited September 4, 2020 by sweetdarkdestiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 (edited) That needs to be in the evox.ini in case you want to flash it with evox.ini Quote flash = 0xbf52,"SST SST49LF020A",0x40000; flash = 0xdab0,"SST SST49LF020A",0x40000; flash = 0xbf57,"SST - 49LF002B",0x40000; Or you use : SundayFlash v1.2 for SST49LF004B (atteched) or Option three you use : eurasia pro generic flash disc v1.3 ( DL : https://1fichier.com/?tgnf6tx60ab81ssqem2d&af=3160491 ) XFlash & co will not work on A/B chips. SundayFlash_v1.2_for_SST49LF004B.rar EDIT : You can also disable the write proction by bridging bt with l1 on the chip (But mainly you should not need to do that!). ! -> And if you press to long on power the write poction is ON.

prtscn Posted September 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 i have another aladdin, but it is hard soldered, can i try hotswap LPC chip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGXbox Admin Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 This is usually because the evox.ini file doesn't contain the correct flash information for the flash rom on the chip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip boots bios OK, but cant flash it. Which version of the Aladdin modchip do you have? Please post a picture of it. Need at least one picture showing the entire modchip side with all the chips visible on the PCB. A picture of the non-component side too if not soldered into the Xbox using the quick solder install method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before flashing it was detected OK. I noticed bios boot animation slows down without dvd rom. lifted BT pad was already like this, it was previously glued with super glue, after resoldring it poped out again.

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. I ruined one LPC chip, afraid to use it again. Resurrected by hotswapping them, reflashed with hexen and now i cant flash them, i did xblast again and still ruined chip. Under flash device it says: MF ID: BF DEV ID: 52 Name: SST_49LF020A Total size: 256KB which is good, since it can detect my unit. But in maine menu say :Modchip: unsupported modchip. Should i try to desolder BT and l1 from the motherboard and shor them together like said previously? To make super shure it's enabled to be flashed.

SS_Dave Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 I always link the BT to ground on the Aladdin chips and the only reason to connect to the power button was for Xbox Live. The L1 is for the LED to indicate that the chip is active or not and flashable so not needed.

SS_Dave Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 You could still fix it with a hot swap but you will need to load from a board with a modchip that can be removed and preferably a version 1.0 -1.4 with the D0 linked to ground and not to the modchip, The version 1.6 can be a bit finicky with the Lframe(D0) conection. Boot from the good chip then load the bios flash and select the BIOS file then swap the chip and compleat the flash. I have saved a few Aladdin chips that people have stuffed doing that way.

There's an old thread on the r/originalxbox reddit forum with a same error message. Turned out the 3rd party controller they were using caused the flashing problem. Are you using a 3rd party controller? Edit: I believe the reason for that error is to indicate that not all functions of the XBlast Lite modchip are supported when the XBlast_OS is used with that modchip, not that the modchip is not flashable.
