TSOP Gets Infected with FlashBIOS v3.03

[princedeekay]

Ok!
I need some help here.
I must admit that I have made a stupid mistake by flashing TSOP with FlashBIOS v3.03!!!
Don't ask me why I did it, but I did it.
Really stupid, huh?
Now that my TSOP is useless, I cannot use my Xbox.
Is there any way to reload TSOP with a proper BIOS?

I guess not.

 

[catogtp]

borrow a modchip and fix it. or just "upgrade" to a modchip.

Can X3 be used to repair the damaged TSOP?

does flashbios not run on the TSOP.

This is what I've found out.
Once TSOP gets flashed with FlashBIOS, the Xbox with contaminated(?) bios will not boot to anything other than FlashBIOS update screen.
No matter which option was used to try an update of the bios, the update will not occur.
It only displays the following error message:
Unknown Flash! Halting
No other bios can be loaded.
I guess the resident FlashBIOS became read-only in TSOP and will not allow any other bios to be loaded.
I've even borrowed a modchip and tried to repair the contaminated bios, but it didn't work.
I don't believe that Team Xecuter intended to make FlashBIOS to cause such chaos on TSOP - and It's my fault that I loaded it on TSOP without knowing what can happen - but tt definately looks like I have no other choice but to buy a modchip and install it.

I won't ask you WHY you flashed the TSOP, but I will ask you how you did it. How did you manage to flash the tsop? Were you using a mod chip in the first place?
