Johny white Posted August 18, 2022 Report Share Posted August 18, 2022 XBOX 1.4 board, ST bios chip. Bridged the usual two points. HDD was dead, so installed Jafar chip and tried to lock another HDD but failed. So booted IND bios from Jafar, run Hexen 2021 and tried to flash onboard bios. It seemed to work but when rebooted the console it still had the stock bios. Tried another HDD which managed to lock to the board using Xblast by booting from Jafar, booted Hexen disc from the soft modded HDD and tried to flash bios but gets stuck trying to erase the bios and nothing happens. Rebooted, then ran xblast OS from the hexen disc and tried Net Flash but again gets stuck. Redid the two boints on the board and re-checked, they're defenitly bridged. At this point I'm at a loss to why it won't flash the bios. Board has some signs of corresion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetdarkdestiny Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 And check the size of the bios in C:\bios. Is it 256kb or 0kb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some pics of the points, I'm sure its not the points. I redid them at least twice and also tested with multimeter between all the points and there's continuity.
