Softmod. Just need an Action Replay, One of the exploitable games and the file. Thats it. For more informatin, look into

Softmod Installer Deluxe (SID3) 3 for non-xbox live play

or

Softmod Installer Deluxe (Sid4 Knave Edition) For xbox live play.

Which means you can only play xbox live in a retail state, no mods or you will be banned.

Sid4 sets teh mod to "retail" for a the duration of online play.

Softmods don't flash bioses, only chips do.
Softmods use software exploits in order to be able to do things that the installed TSOP would not allow.

Will using AID solve the problem? Can't you flash the BIOS using AID?

Yes you can flash a bios using AID, if you have a chip.
You can not flash a bios on a softmod, it won't work.

He's talking about flashing the TSOP.

I'm not picking that up at all.
If it's the upgrade to the 5960, Halo 2 does that on its own.
But you can't flash the TSOP to say a 4983.

I have the same FRAG xbox I have had for a couple of weeks now. We have gotten it to power up twice, so we have installed the Evolution X softmod. We are still having problems with it FRAGing. From all I can understand from the forums, it is a TSOP problem. The TSOP tutorial calls for installing a switch. Is there anyway to TSOP without installing a switch or modchip?

dustyken,

Will your box boot an original game? If not, what is the error code?

In past posts, it appears you were able to soft mod it, but it's not reliable, is that so?

Did you buy this box new or used?

Do any of your buds have an Xbox? Have you tried swapping the DVD drive.

-you cant tsop an xbox that is fragging ,
(you would have to prapare for tsop flash then chip the xbox , boot the xbox , pull out the chip while the xbox is booted then proceed with flashing the tsop , its a little more complicated , this is just a quick rundown

-yes, you can flash tsop with aid if its not a windbond tsop ,
for a windbond tsop youll need to use a app called raincoat or xflash

-no, you dont need to inatall a switch to flash the tsop , the switch is for dividing the 1mb tsop into 4 256k banks , but you do need to solder 2 tsop points on the motherboard ,

yes . you can flash any bios onto a tsop thats not chip specific and is of a right size , so basically the only bios that you cant flash onto a tsop would be the X3 bios , ...well you could still do it on the 1mb tsop it just woulnt work

the easiest way to flash tsop is to use eurasia pack or something simular ,

- anything else?

Whathe is trying to say is that if he lets the Xbox sit (unplugged) for about a week it will boot ONCE (only one time). Then in order for it to boot again, it needs to sit for another week. He thinks that this is due to a bad TSOP.
