Greetings folks. I have a 1.4 that won't boot completely on the original bios. Gets to a point in the MS boot sequence and stops in a different spot each time. Sometimes it makes it as far as the MS Dashboard and locks up. The box will boot from an Xecuter 2.6 modchip (non hacked MS code like Cromwell 2.4 or FlashBIOS 3.0.3). Cromwell and FlashBIOS see both drives. Evox won't boot completely either, but I'm told that the Evox bios doesn't jump to routines in the TSOP so that's also head scratcher. Won't boot a game from CD. The Modchip, HD and DVD both work in a 1.0 with the same modchip. The MS code in the TSOP has not been hacked. I think the the MS code has been corrupted. Can I re-flash the TSOP with original MS code and if so, how? Or, is a full, bootable verson of MS code available to flash in a modchip (256k to 1M)? :D

Have you been screwing around with your EEPROM at all? I hight doubt the TSOP got corrupted, I'm not even sure that is possible without a little help from the user.

Nope. Got the 1.4 from a friend. My first boot with the box resulted in the above symptoms - partial boot and lockup in MS Bios. I was the first to crack the case. The HD was crashed - nada with any modchip or a PC. Replaced the HD with an unlocked stock drive - samo. Modchips will boot Cromwell, FlashBIOS, etc., but not Evox or Original BIOS. BIOS' see the drives. :eek:
