Getting a v1.0 OG Xbox. Need some info!

That's exactly why. I want to eventually upgrade my hdd and the softmod method seems really annoying, having to unlock and unlock it and all that jazz. Seems easy enough to do, so why not?

Fair enough, although I never really had any problems in the past using my bios dump and ftp backup (with shadow c disabled).

Looks like X2 is my way to go too. X3 has hardware dependancies that, without the X3 modchip, will not work. Sucks too, because I eventually want to pimp my shit out. Without that almost impossible to find/unreasonably priced chip, it can't be done Thanks for the help anyways.

If enough people agree with me that there's still a market for these kinds of products voice your opinions here: http://team-xecuter.com/forums/threads/143569-Open-Letter-to-Team-Xecuter-Regarding-X3-Modchip/page2

Quick question: Is it ok to solder the TSOP points and remove the clock capacitor before installing the softmod? I'm still waiting for my xbox to USB cord and I'm gonna be waiting for a while for it, because it's coming from China. I already have my Xbox open and the motherboard out, so I can clean it. I was thinking I should do this now before I put it back together. Is it safe to do this or is the softmod required before I unlock TSOP rewriting and clock capacitor removal?

Does anyone know?

yes it is fine to do both. however a revision 1.6 console doesn’t have a TSOP flash chip, so this method won’t work, you’ll need to buy a modchip instead. Also, If your motherboard is a revision 1.6 motherboard, you will need to replace the capacitor with a new one, or else it won't boot (though it is unnecessary to remove it because they are different capacitors than previous models).

I have a 1.0 but thanks for answering me. I can finally finish this now that I know!

Your welcome. I told some wrong information.

Other then that go for it. once you have the TSOP wired up you can go ahead and a soft mod install then you can use Hexen 2017 to fix everything else.
