Bought of ebay with error 7 (faulty HDD). Installed Jafar modchip, connected unlocked HDD and locked to it, boots into xdash from previous install with soft mod. Soldered both points on board and even tested with multimeter which confirmed bridged, load up hexen and choose tstop winbond, loads Gentoox and selected HDD flash, soon I hit flash bios console turns off and reboot! Any idea to what's wrong here?

You can't boot from your Jafar Modchip and then flash your TSOP. Once you bootet from the LPC the TSOP is disabled. 

How ever, to flash your TSOP you could softmod or use a bios flasher which uses the softmod save game exploid. 

And finaly, DO NOT flash a bios from an old HeXEn/TruHeXEn disk. If you use the 2021 version it should be ok. 

One more thing, if you go with the softmod, lock your HDD first. ;)

After I locked the spare HDD I choose to boot from the onbaord bios before I attempted the flash. But even when I unplugged the jafar chip, booted from the stock bios with the new HDD locked, it won't flash the tsop.

Update: So it looks like I was using a very old copy of Hexen and now I got Hexen 2021 but when I choose to flash winbond then choose IND 5003, it starts to copy the files but get stuck @ copying , please wait ... From E:\Delete Me\Xblast\xblast.cfg To:

Sounds strange. Which TSOP you have? Winbond, Sharp, ST .....?

Have you checked if there is a bios file in the bios folder on C?

Its a 1.2 board with Winbond. I checked and there was a bios.bin file with size zero. I deleted it but still Hexen 2021 gets stuck copying files

Do you have enough free space on C? If there are softmod files there is very little space. (You can delete the XBlast folder on C if there is one, that folder isn't needed to flash a bios)

So here : https://1fichier.com/?z0zzg39aqghrpswkqgo8  are EvoX bios'es as Yes and noDVD. There is also XBlastOS in this pack.

Copy XBlastOS to E:/Apps (if not already there) and then copy the bios of your choice to C:\bios and launch xblastos,

Thanks, I'll give it a try. Does the pack include IND 5003 bios? This is the one I want to flash as I intend to upgrade the ram on the board and want to use the IND bios. Also woud it matter if I flash 256k rather than 1mb file to it?

No it's just an EvoX to get a first bios to your TSOP. But you could extract the iND 5003 XISO from TruHeXEn using XDVDMulleter Beta 10.2. 

 

E: But you need to rename it to "bios.bin" to flash an Winbond TSOP with it.

Resolved, the issue some how lays with the HDD. It won't allow me to copy any files onto C drive or c:\BIOS, no matter what I tried, even through FTP. It just creates the file with zero bytes. This is why the flashing through disc won't work, so I resorted to flashing through Net by booting XBlast OS. Probably could've done the same through Jafar as it boots into XBlast by default.

After Net flash with IND 5003.67 it successfully boots into that each time with Jafar chip not connected, now I can proceed with Ram upgrade. Thanks for your help with this.
