modchip question

Hey, does anyone know if any modchips, preferrably solderless, would work on an xbox with an error 21 and let me flash to it so that i can put the origonal dashboard on it? any help appreciated.

 

yes, i had error 21, couldnt do a hotswap or anything, so i bought the xecuter 2.6 with solderless adapter, only problem i had was with the screw that olds the adapter in, i wound up putting a different one in, but it works great, you also have to create a disk with bios update on it that can be done easily, i downloaded slayers installer and used that, everything works great, and if you want to use xbx live, you can turn the chip off and use it!

 

Thanks! So you can FTP with the xbox and replace the damaged dashboard afterwards?

 

I wouldnt reccomend buying a solderless chip unless your willing to spend a bit money on it. The cheaper ones are usually crap, (DO NOT BUY THE SPIDERCHIP) Instead I would reccomend buying a solder option, soldering isnt that hard, I did it on my first try. I can recommend you the duox 2 mod chip http://www.divineo.com/cgi-bin/div-us/dd-xb-duox2cr
Its like 10 buck and it works great.

 

after modchip is in, you can ftp

 

thanks, i owe u one.

 

no prob buddy, me n sesko will get you sorted out.

 

but you do have to flash it first though!

 

What do you mean, flash it through? Remember, i can't flash because of the stupid error 21. I just might buy that chip.

 

YES, but the modchip comes with an original cromwell bios, this bios will not play back up games, you need to flash it, it is really easily done! dont worry, we can help you once you get your chip installed

 

yeah buddy it really easy, hey sesko I was thinking about using the old eurasia boot disk method, you jive?

 

hey kingo, i have no idea what your talking about! lmao

 

well how would you flash the cramwell bios. Eurasia flash disks are the best way.

 

i just download the latest bios for it, create an iso disc with dvd media, and do it, see, i am relatively new at this, but am catching on quickly, just dont know all the names of the programs yet!

 

well with the cromwell bios you cant jsut do that, what you need
To flash your chip using this bios you will need the bios disc you made earlier and the Eurasia Generic Pro Flash Disc 1.2. Download eurasia and burn the iso onto a cdrw or dvd-r using Nero Burning Rom. Burn onto CDRW 4X or DVD-R 1x speed. choose finalize , disc at once and no multisession. Do not use CDR's as the xbox can't read them.

Insert the Eurasia Pro Generic Flash Disc 1.2 at the cromwell screen. The BIOS disc is inserted once the dvd-rom drive opens automatically. The flash process is automatic.

 

so what you are saying is there are two discs you need to use to do this? what is so special with using the eurasia?

 

well since cromwell is a linux bios, you need a linx boot cd to flash it, and thats what Eurasia is, you make youor bios disk the usual way (bios.bin and some dummy data) and then you burn the Eurasia disk, boot it up and follow the instructions.

 

I'm ordering that chip either today or tomorrow. i'll tell you when i get it.

 

I'm glad, I hope this gets you sorted out.

 

I just got a modchip, a Spider GX, and i was wondering how can i flash a bios and where can i find a good bios to flash to it? and, if you can help, can you reply on my other thread, [bold]pogo pins filled in[/bold], i don't want to multipost. thanks!
