hastings298 Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 What the title says. I've flashed my smart xx with X2 5032 and tried manipulating both the text file in the e-petition as well as as using X2 config maker to confirm that the DVD check is removed. Unfortunately it just refuses to boot I know that the config is working because the wireframe flubber shows up but it will just sit endlessly loading after that. It boots correctly with a drive plugged in. Any help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it with two hard drives, the other one was a WD Black, didn't work on that either. Mind blown. Ultimately I had a DVD drive PCB wrapped in electric tape lying around that i plugged in, boots flawlessly. Damn dude though, how do people figure this out. Well done.

sweetdarkdestiny Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Not me, the guy in the topic which eustachy1973 found. And he found it out because he has tested a lot, like he wrote. I don't take any credit here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have WD blacks in 2 different Xbox's and both boot with the DVD disconnected. What drive did you but the X2 config file?

SS_Dave Posted December 20, 2020 Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 I noticed you are using the X2-5032.bin Have you tried the X2-5035 bios x2.5035.67.bin Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

hastings298 Posted December 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2020 Yes, i tried 5035 first then noticed that the config maker specified 5032 and thus tried that one instead. No dice. Glad i had my ghetto pcb wrapped in electrical tape still lying around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
