CloudEngineer Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Easy tiger! People are just being pricks (namely HellBender). Seriously though, go masturbate or something and get your mind off the XBox and all the other **** that happened this past month. Then go on to that mod chip store you spoke of and get yourself some good luck!You owe me 2 cents for this post :). make sure you clean yourself up first lol nothing like a white stain to get people staring at you :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdkaneda Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 if he breaks everything he touches, i don't think masturbating is a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniacidz Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 damnit i hope my xbox is ok, god damnit man this month i broke my mobo, ipod and now my xbox. OMG god why do u h8 me???????? **** **** **** **** LOLOLOL funny. Im not one to ever bash someone ***coffcoff***BULLSH*T***coffcoff*** and already after seeing this thread, many have beaten me to that opportunity. Damn. Dont touch anything, leave it alone. Dont try to do technical stuff and just run things stock standard. If you ever have ideas to ever flash something or do something to a expensive piece of equipment, STOP, for the love of god, just stop and do the exact opposite of what you want to do, and the exact ooposite is to do NOTHING.

Mattimeo Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Did you happen to take apart the ipod and stuff? Are you just interested in electronics or what? If you like tinkering around, the only way your going to get better at it is to do more of it. Preferably on not so expensive things though ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMG man i think im DOOMED!!! :pinch: LOLOLOL Ahhh man, you gave me a good laugh. I know what you are on about though, but i think you should like stop. Motherboards nowadays have a Windows Flash Utility on most makes that enable you to flash it. Work great and very simple. Always use a final release bios though, not a beta. As for the ipod and Xbox, i dunno how the bios are flashed for those and i dont know if you flashed the ipod so i wont assume you did that until you tell us. I remember when i was younger and used to reinstall Windows 98 because it didnt do something i liked. Think i wore out the disk. LOL But yeh, i know what you mean though but you have to stop until you have a better understanding and/or there are better ways available to do what you wanted to do. Cheers man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snippet1 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Right, seeing as you can't stop tinkering, go down to Dick Smith's or Tandy or RadioShack or whatever it's called where you live, and buy a few kits. Buy some books, aswell (I stated with the 'Funway into Electronics' series, written and designed by Dick Smith - it's two project guides and a heap of kits to go with). Then, if you really must flash something, buy a BASIC STAMP. It's a microcontroller thingy that you can learn to program an make your own programmed robot thingys and stuff.

LiGhTfast Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Cant be bothered reading 3 pages but your xbox should be easy to fix, take the chip out and flash using your pc... you should have got a programmer when you bought it so plug it into the parallel port and flash your chip then put it back in your xbox.

velocity3k Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 hi i was flashing 256k x2 4799 bios when it says erasing, system hanged so i turned it off now xbox wont turn on properly, nothing on screen, xbox LED flashes green and red. wha should i do?if i change the modchip or somehow reflash my current chip will my box be normal again? will my HD data be lost in anyway? plz help me out here, thnx. Edit: i went on xbox scene to ask 4 help, some1 said i have to use a "programmer" to reflash chip. i asked 4 more details but no one replied. i searched around on xbox scene but didnt find anything. :( omg plz any help would be very nice. ok, first things first, are you sure that the Xbox even has a mod-chip in it?, from what you have said in your previous posts; wow thnx 4 those who are so nice to me well, to be honest i dont really know wha modchip i have. most likely its matrix cos i flashed it b4 with the 256k bios and it worked. yea i should cheer up now, yay its new year. and yea i should do some xtreme wankin to make myself happy. it sounds to me like you got a pre-modded xbox, if that is the case then there is a strong chance that there is no mod-chip and only the TSOP was flashed. TSOP for those who don't know is the chip on the Xbox MB that has the bios on it, most new mod-chips usually, after installation, take over the functions of the TSOP and use the bios on the mod-chip, thus leaving the original bios on the TSOP in a virgin state. Now some mod-chip installers just flash the TSOP (which contains the original MS bios), with a bios (eg.Cromwell) that allows you to run back-ups and such, if this is the case and you have done a bad flash then you are truly ****ed. If on the other hand it does have a mod-chip and contains a LPT connection (should have come with your chip), then just connect it up to your PC and re-flash it.

technics Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 sorry to hear about all the bad luck you've had with playing around with hardware, expensive hardware to! Next time get some help from someone, who knows what they are doing and learn from them, and don't try anything yourself! hope you can still get it fixed...

Japlabot Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 with this 'Programmer' thing that some people have talked about, can that program any flash memory (from say a USB key or Modem with a flashabble BIOS), or just x-box BIOSes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Modchip bios programmers only work for modchips they are designed for. If you could get a programmer SPECIFICALLY for a modem with a flashable bios, then yeah, I spose, but not one of the programmers that are being talked about here.

E/EEprom programers cost 200-400$ usually tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
