Softmodded v1.0 xbox unlocked hdd

[link42586]

So I got A softmodded xbox and was wanting to upgrade the hdd..So I went into some old disks I had of configmagic 1.6 or something like that and unlocked the hdd so I could clone it and put in A bigger one. But now it doesn't boot up. Why is that. Also I did A few backup options in evox and within configmagic before I unlocked it. But i'm going off of memory that is at least 10 years old in my head so idk what i'm doing really. What are my options here. Also the error screen isn't showing an error code that I can tell. I remember their was error codes back in the day. So there is that.

Also i'm not entirely sure it's A v1.0 but it's got A crappy thompson dvd drive.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also i'm not sure why I did this or when I did this if it was before or after. But I think it was before. I updated the eeprom..Idk what it updated it to. Where that update came from but it said successful. Either way I might have messed this one up huh. But I did take A pic or two of the hdd password before I unlocked it. I'm assuming not showing an error code is bad. And has something to do with the eeprom I updated for god knows what reason.

Some drives need 80 pin ide cable after upgrade

Option:

Tsop xbox and you can install any HDD after

I didn't put in another hdd yet. I just tried turning it back on after I unlocked the hdd to see if it would still boot. But I had an xbox chipped back in the day and i'm using the hdd that I used then for this one as it was not used very much at all in the chipped system. But shouldn't this xbox turn on with the unlocked drive? If not then how is it gonna work when I copy to another hdd then put it back in the xbox. Probably won't boot then either right.

Cant boot softmod with an unlocked hdd

tsop
modchip

tsop is so easy on those - After that insert hexen disc or auto installer deluxe and on boot format prompts will apear

 

[link42586]

So I shouldn't have unlocked it is what your saying.

Not sure if it ever changed but I do remember warning prompts to only unlock hard drives when tsop'd or mdchipp'd

Still recoverable nevertheless

 

[link42586]

Yeah idk. Either way I have the password for the hdd. But i'm not buying A modchip or anything like that to bring this thing to life. I just wanted to upgrade the hdd in it and start puttin games on it u know. Not lookin to buy something.

Again tsop it and no modchip needed and you can upgrade hdd with ease

So quick question. Just solder these points together on the top of the board and that's it? I don't understand what a sharp TSOP is but i'll look into if I have that. But i'm not buyin anything lol in my head u made it sound like I needed to buy something and solder 8 wires and A super small d0 point and it was all complicated like back in the day with the xecuter 2.3b mod chips. But this is A joke it looks so easy.

Hard drive had to be locked to boot

Follow solder diagram - 1st verify what type of chip you have and follow diagram

Yeah on some models you dont even have to take board out as bridge points are all on top - 1.0 I believe you have to take board out

 

[link42586]

So assuming I bridged those points correctly..How am I supposed to flash anything if I can't get into the dash. As I still get the error.

First off did you lock the hard drive as you've been told multiple times? If not then why do you even ask for help if your not gonna take it.

After tsop with or withour hdd lock

Insert auto installer deluxe or hexen disc disc - Google it and burn it (Auto installer deluxe works for me)

You should get format prompt then proceed to flash bios - Be very careful and make sure your flashing correct chip type

The youtube link I posted has entire process

Guess i'll burn A hexen disk and hope for the best. I think I did the tsop right but right now it just gives me error screen. I need an old pc either way to copy this drive.

 

[link42586]

hexen disc didn't work. I guess i'll need to get a dvd-r instead of a +r. I shoulda did this about 10 years ago when this stuff was common place around the house.

dvd-r didn't work. So i'll lock the drive now. Like overly aggressive guy said. And the reason I started this thread. And see how that turns out.

Hello.

Did it work now ? Whats is the brand of your DVD Drive ? Thats maybe the problem why you can don´t use DVD-R.
Is the TSOP flash an option for you ?

Thank you.

 

[link42586]

Thompson drive. And no it didn't work. Gonna lock the drive and then try it as i'm just sitting on the error screen. Sounds like the disc is trying to read but nothing with DVD-R and +R disks.
