Hey guys just wondering if i remove the modchip from a orginal xbox will it go back to its orginal state or is there a sequence i need to through first...Im currently opening the system now and its not goin into the the startup MS dash the light flash's green/red/orange and its sounds like something is cycling in there thanks for any help in advance
Chuckhead..thanks for the reply When i try to turn the system on its kinda tries to start up but then it turns right back off again...also when i eject the disk sometime its stays on but nothing goes on the screen i checked all the wires and even used my own xbox on the wires that hes using also the xenium gold 24k has a red light on it not to sure if this means anything...also when i had the power on it and the disk drive removed i unplugged the chip from the board the xbox logo started up like noral and then went into a error 5 message...any ideas before i remove the chip...once removed and if it works i wil be softmodding it also are u able to give me a little step by step on how to do this thanks
Error 5 mean it's unlocked! Lock it again with a 'Slayers' disc prior to removing the modchip! It will then boot normally!
Thanks Chuckhead im unable to get the disk drive to activate and when pwring up....i am able to open the dvd drive and place a game in but theres nothing happening after that....it powers off also now it doesn't even turn on and i think that might be fuse problem which i will check when i get back home later also is there a way to lock it after i remove the chip im thinking this is the only way i can get this done....help...lol
their is nothin else you can try and it only the origonal xbox any way why bother messin round wiv one of dem old fing lol
wait i am having a similar problem... when i removed my aladdin modchip (because of its corrupted BIOS), I went into error 5 'cause I don't lock my HD! I think I remember flashing the EEPROM with the eeprom.bin included with Configmagic... My question: Will the EEPROM I wrote to the xbox still be the same even if it's not modded now? If it doesn't, then I can just use xboxhdm to lock my hd with the eeprom.bin included with configmagic... right?
YES.. as long as you are sure that's what you did. If it doesn't work (error6) you will need to fit a chip again OR build an eeprom reader and find out what is in that eeprom.
I'm pretty sure that I did it because I have a flash memory of configmagic saying all of them were like zeroes including the HDD Key... I will try it since it's my only choice... If it doesn't work then I will just try to build the EEPROM reader.
