Well, I softmodded then tsopped and tried flashing a winbond bios Evox 8 which was all going well until it turned off after flashing then wouldn't turn back on except doing the triple on then off crap. 


Assuming I have done it right and it was a bad flash?  What now?

What happens if you try booting with both drives ( DVD and HDD) disconnected?

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Dosn't you wrote it booted fine in your other topic? The bios works, thats for sure because I have testet em and eightbit use these for his Winbond as well. Have you made any other changes? Maybe reflashed it with a different bios like HDShadow has said?

Yes so I thought but the boot logo was different to what I was expecting hence me thinking it hadn't worked correctly.

Time for a mod chip.

 Where did the last BIOS file come from?

From the OG Installer, first one on the winbond selection (EVO M8 CEE F+ G noDVD from memory)


Time for a mod chip 😞

First one is " 1.1.1. Flash EvoX m8+ F+G noDVD EEC UX (256kb) " ( https://imgur.com/a/5AJhGFn )

I will flash it (again). But i wonder why it worked in the first run and should not work in the second, makes no seens to me.

And as base bios i have used daves bios which is proved to be working 1000 times (or more).

 

EDIT: I now dig out the WInbond XBox and will provide a video of the flash

That's the one (just woke up). No idea why it did it, it appeared to flash ok then just borked on boot up. Still, makes a nice paper weight 🙂 

If it is a bad bios you missed, no worries I'm certainly not going to rant at you as it is what it is. Trial and error. It's the first console mod that has gone wrong and I've modded a few so it's going to happen at some point.

Can't be a bad bios. I have checked the bios already in EvTool (See screen above) and it is a bios from dave which i trust blind and the bioses are also tested by eightbit because he has a winbond as well. But like i wrote, give me some minutes. I'm on it, burning the DVD right now and will do a video (which i have to because it would be very bad for the mini reps the installler has if i would not do that).

Here is a screen of the xbox : https://imgur.com/a/2S9Tym8 (Lucky me, i write down whats in which box that i own.)

      Need help how to softmod from hardmod and then TSOP flashing
      By geohunk
      Hi guys,
       
       So I was given an Xbox 1.0 from a friend that is chipped and has a 120gb HDD. Unfotunately the chip does not have support for HDD larger than 120gb and I am unable to flash the chip's BIOS (evox says it is not flash writeable).
       I'm basically in a bind to find a guide on how to softmod this box and tsop it from a modchip because I don't know what type of chip it is and how to disable it. Pictures below: 
      Apologies for the very dusty MB, lol! As always any guidance will be highly appreciated.

      Failed TSOP Flash?
      By Edge
      Hi Everyone,
      I've got a 1.0 with a Hynix with DVD drive that won't eject that came previously TSOP'd. It had an older version of EVOX flashed and then the two TSOP junctions were removed. It unfortunately didn't have the LBA48 configured so thus I wanted to reflash. When I used the BIOS checker I would get Unknown. When I tried to use Flash tools (blastos and evox) I wouldn't get anywhere with flashing as it was unwritable (makes sense)
      Today I reapplied the TSOP junctions and when I ran the BIOS Checker I was getting something back - identfying the correct chip and flash. I grabbed the 1mb size version of ind-bios, added a fresh config file to my c drive, started up blastos, and flashed it which seemed to be successful... until the restart. Now the xbox will start, power off, start, power off and then start again with a red/green alternating LED.
      Have I ruined my TSOP? Should I have done the 256K? I've got a couple Alladiin's on the way, is this recoverable? I'd appreciate your thoughts and guidance.

      Soft mod to tsop
      By Haizum74
      Are there any issues/conflicts I need to be aware of when tsoping my xbox? Ive been running a soft mod for a week or so and have a sata 500gb HDD locked with apps, games and of course a dash, XBMC4gamers.

      If so I can always put the original HDD in to tsop it that way but then am I good to go with putting the 500gb back and just straight booting? OR, do I need to reinstall everything?


      Any specific bios reccomendations? I will be using the drive as well as the HDD and on 1.4 I think. Certainly not 1.6
