I need some help here, i have a 1.4 xbox and i have soldered the TSOP points on the motherboard, and i have done this is the past and it worked fine and now when i try and flash with any type of 256k bios it will not even start to erase, which seems to me like AID does not have write access to the TSOP, but ive checked and resoldered the points and still have the same result. Any idea what else would cause this to happen? _________________ Hotswap Tutorial|FTP Tutorial|HyperX Flashing Tutorial
Is it a Winbond TSOP ?
EvoX (the AID flasher) cant erase Winbond TSOPs
Use the Eurasia pro generic flash disc.
I have put together an UNOFFICIAL bios pack addon for AID that includes some iND-BiOS files and the ability to flash Winbonds (via eurasia) if you want it. _________________

Yes it is a Winbond, of you could point me in the direction of where to get this flash disc. Also, does this flash disc have to have a flash BIOS first or does it load the app and erase and flash for you?
If you head over to here : http://www.eurasia.nu/index.php and create a free account and search for eurasia pro - Then download v1.3 of the disc
It may also be in the downloads section on this site.
once you have Eurasia pro generic flash disc burned as an iso to DVD, burn another DVD containing your bios file (burn it as data) your bios file must be called bios.bin nothing else, no evoM8+.bin, just bios.bin.
Run Eurasia, after about 30 seconds the DVD tray opens, insert your bios.bin disc, the tray automatically closes and the flashing commences.
The Eurasia pro disc is a Linux based flasher, it`ll run on a softmodded xbox, hardmodded xbox, or a xbox with either Cromwell or Flashbios. _________________

OK, so i got the disc to boot, but ive tried burnign multiple discs withe BIOS on it and it will NOT find the bios anywhere on the desk and it just named bios.bin. Lost here? _________________ Hotswap Tutorial|FTP Tutorial|HyperX Flashing Tutorial
Are you using the same media for the bios file as you are for the Eurasia disc ?
Is your bios file on the root of the DVD, not in a folder ?
Try adding a 50mb or so dummy file
bios.bin all lowercase ? _________________

yup, same exact type of media, and not only that but yes, i even tried putting a 50MB dummy file in as the files i downloaded came with one. Ive tried with just the bios.bin and the dummy file, ive tried with the extras they also through in the package and it still would not detect the bios. Whats a good program to burn with as it may be the fact the program im using is not working correctly for what i need. _________________ Hotswap Tutorial|FTP Tutorial|HyperX Flashing Tutorial
I just use CDBurnerXP, seems to work well and its free.
I put together a TSOP flash exploit that will launch Raincoat and will flash the 256kb X2 4981 bios to a Winbond TSOP, you can install it to your UDATA folder from a memory card and launch it from the game 007 agent under fire, or, if you are already softmodded you could FTP it to your UDATA folder and launch it via the file manager.
It`ll save you burning countless discs, PM me if you want it. _________________

Actually, as long as it will work with Mech Assault i will take it, because ive used up almost off media trying to get this to work with only partial success which means i wont the battle, but as of now i have lost the war... _________________ Hotswap Tutorial|FTP Tutorial|HyperX Flashing Tutorial
It wont work with mechassault, but if you are already softmodded you can FTP it to your UDATA folder and launch it with the file manager - no need for any game. _________________

Hey, i used it to flash the BIOS but now all that loads is a black screen after i turn it back on....linux said flash ok.... power off... so i turned it off at that point and now just the black screen.... _________________ Hotswap Tutorial|FTP Tutorial|HyperX Flashing Tutorial
The bios flashing part went ok, its looking for a hacked dash on C - with you being softmodded your hacked dash is on E and it cant boot the MS dash (yet) _________________
