    heh, i started off with the rgh on xbox 360s chipless... first time soldering and managed to get it to work, now im working backwards and it's breaking my brain haha so much fun though, can't wait to fully understand it all. just wish there was a documentary style "history of xbox modding all the way up to endgame today and how it all works" to follow each itteration instead of having to go to the wiki's and be like ohhh okay so thats what mod chip came with this xbox i bought on ebay that hasn't been opened in 13 years. video form would be so much nicer. and the order like what came first, this or that and what made it different set it apart from the last modchip or whatever. Much love ❤

    thanks a lot for this helpful tutorial. I would say the best one I have seen for OG Xbox. It works perfectly on 1.6 and with no need to cut lines or modify the original chips of the motherboard. The only topic to consider in 11:30 is that depending on how SST chip is programmed it could go in the opposite way (as shown in the corner picture), I had to do that and everything worked. Much appreciated.

    Worked like a charm I had success flashing in the xbox 2 different knock off Aladdin xt Plus 2's over the last two days with the 2.3.2 cerbios boot disk I booted in to the Static IP / BFM mode and flashed the 256k one and it took it no problem on both a 1.0 and 1.6 after following this tutorial. so the fakes are flashable in xbox without an external writer with that method. I'm going to post on xbox-scene a more full process of what I did to get mine both flashed shortly i just did them both last night and a few minutes ago for the 1.6

    Those cloned Aladdin mod chips from Ali Express are a nightmare, I bought some and they came with nothing on them which took ages to work out what was going on, others have had varied success but unless you're modding a number of Xboxes just pay extra for a Xenium Ice or something else.

    I had run into this too when I went to upgrade the BIOS on my Aladdin clone with Cerbios. What it comes down to is there are several different model flashROM chips that'll work in these modchips. Once programmed, they all function identically in read mode but if you go to write data to them they each use a different write protocol and only one of them is compatible with the homebrew flashing utilities. I ended up buying myself a general purpose EEPROM USB flasher as I had always wanted one for a while and by manually extracting the flashROM, programming, and re-installing everything worked out great.

    Thank you very much; setting up the HDD via the PC is actually a good idea. For some reason mine doesn't want to boot off the burned DVD's; and it won't boot with the originally installed (softmodded) HDD. Also; does the xbox still boot normally (with the normal HDD) if you take the modchip off the board? Mine doesn't seem to do that either...

    Your optical drive may be going out. I have seen lots of OG Xboxes with faulty DVD Drives. To boot up with the original HDD and bios you would have to remove the mod chip and disconnect the D0 wire so the Xbox does not boot using the Dubug port.

    ​@@MadModLabs Thank you for your method. I've used your guide to bypass the need for the DVD drive for the installation; and at least my XBOX is now working again! Next step is to try and completely eliminate the need of an DVD drive (with the 2.5" SSD, I may make it super slim, and the drive is dead hardware anyway; want to be sure it'll boot withouth if it completely dies), I found I could actually flash the modchip using EvoX, but my modchip seems to be supported (read; chinese knock-off). Is this why you're using the external programmer? I heard those should be able to flash any modchip. (Do you accept donations, and how? You just saved me from buying an dvd-writer; or a new xbox)

    You would have to open up the system and see what you have installed. The only functional purpose for the switch is to disable the mod for online gaming which is no longer a thing. Open up your system, get down to the modchip, follow the wires from your switch to the modchip, and bridge those points together and you should be good to go assuming everything else is in working order.

    This error is usually called FRAG. (Flashing red and green). It means the Xbox has failed to load the bios due to a hardware error. The most common cause of FRAG after installing a modchip is a bad solder connection at the LPC port. Those pads are very small so it is very easy to have a weak solder joint. There are some other things you could check too. When you programmed the new BIOS chip did you get a "programming successful" message? If so, your bios flash is good but you could always read the chip back in the programming software to verify. When you power the Xbox on does the modchip light up? If the light is off or dim you should check your pin header and D0 connection again. This error is extremely common so don't get discouraged. I'm sure you can get it working.
