Thanks Heimdall! I'm with you; I'm betting AID, HeXEn, SID, and XBMC all use similar method(s) to determine the Xbox version. I mentioned it before, but has anyone tried Xbox Version Detector ? I've only seen it mentioned a couple times in forums. When it isn't so cold in my game room I'll see what ...

Thanks for the reply spicemuseum! Yeah, I've done the serial number method and so far it checks out with what XBMC says. I know opening it up is the most accurate way, but since I'm dealing with modded Xboxes, isn't there an accurate way to check it without opening it? Looking online for a little bi...

Hey guys, I have a very quick question here. I noticed on XBMC today that under system info it says what version my Xbox is. Is this correct? Judging by my serial number it seems correct, but I haven't read much online about using software to check your Xbox version (every place says to open it up)....

Why did you re install the MS dash ? its pretty much redundant now . Yeah, I thought about that later :P I guess I did it because after I deleted everything off the Xbox it was booting up with a dash error, and installing the MS dash fixed it. Maybe I did it just in case XBMC fails somehow the MS d...

So a quick update here everyone :) I am finally back at my friend's house and I got the TSOP'd Xbox working! :D I used the HeXEn disc to redo the Winbond TSOP flash, then I deleted everything on the Xbox, installed the MS dash using AID, then installed XBMC to the C drive using AID; now it boots dir...

Thanks guys, I used SID 5.12 to install XBMC on all the Xboxes I've softmodded.

I guess I can check out the HeXEn disc and see what it says about the Winbond TSOP flash

Hey guys, quick question here. In a few days I'll be attempting a Winbond TSOP using HeXEn. I need to adjust the boot order. Currently, it boots to the MS dash, but I need it to boot to XBMC, which it will boot to if I use a disc (I think I used HeXEn or AID) and select boot E drive dash (IIRC). I h...

Hey guys, thanks for all the replies :) It has been a while, but sometime in the near future I think I'll be back at my friend's house, so I can finish working on his Xbox :) I have a HeXEn disc burned already, and it sounds like I need to redo the Winbond flash. I've done BIOS flashes on my PSP (I ...

Thanks for the replies spicemuseum and Nextelhalo :) Yeah, I'm thinking of reflashing the TSOP. That way I can edit the boot path and edit the boot logo colors :) Since I copied everything from a softmodded Xbox over to this TSOP'd one, which dash is the softmodded Xbox booting by default? I figure ...

Well your almost there, the Slayers disc will help you along with the rebuild of the hard drive and getting it to boot into XBMC. However, if you want to change the startup colors you have no choice but to flash the bios on the TSOP. This is easy to do, dont let all the different tutorials and what...

Well if it's a 120GB then you shouldnt have to do anything special really, pop in Slayers 2.98 and let it rebuild the hard drive for you. It's been recently updated and do everything you could ever want for that xbox. Keep us up to date on your progress. :) Thanks Nextelhalo, I'll burn Slayers befo...

You should pop in the new SLayer's 2.98 disc and let it rebuild the hard drive from scratch for you. This would be the easiest way to get up and running. What size hard drive did it end up having? This will help you make a choice on what bios to flash to the xbox. Thanks for the reply Nextelhalo, I...

When you say "Copy evox folder to xbox" where should it be copied to? Well it doesn't really matter, anywhere you can run it from on your current dash. I'd suggest E:\apps. Then you can set E:\apps\evox\evoxdash.xbe as your second boot option on the BIOS with Evtool, that way if you delet...

Fair enough, TSOP really is great though :) Since I'm nice, here's some super basic info. Download xbmc and put in E:\apps\ download this http://www.multiupload.nl/O10O36A5RO un zip. open M8plus.bin in /evox/bios with Evtool. Change any toggles you like. With the arrows, change first boot path to E...

yep you're nuts :P TSOP's are, IMO, the easiest things to deal with, you simply point the BIOS boot path to XBMC(or whatever you want to boot) and that's it! No messing around with shadow C and all that other softmod headache :D Lol, like I said, I just have no experience with TSOP, so that's why I...

Return it to stock? Are you nuts? You found this little gem in a garage bro, keep it modded and dont look back!!! Especially if the HDD is bigger than stock. First thing is to find out how big the hard drive is and what bios is on the xbox right now. You will most likely have to reflash the bios to...

It got a custom BIOS so its not a softmod. Its a modchip or a flashed TSOP. Best is to open it and have a peek inside.. If there is no chip its a TSOP. Also if the Xbox is a v1.6, it cant be a TSOP it must be a chip. Any cases you should be able to drop a new hard drive in and prep it with an insta...

Hi guys, I recently found a modded Xbox in my friend's garage and we booted it up to see a white Xbox logo. It basically looked like this, but all the green parts were white (except for the "TM" in the upper right corner): http://www.campuspride.org/wp-content/uploads/Xbox-logo.jpg I haven...
