Flashing TSOP With ANY Version XBOX (V1.0-V1.5) For Noobs

*NOTE* I am not responsible for any damage you do to your XBOX. Do this at your own risk. If you follow this guide, read it over a couple of times, and TAKE YOUR TIME, you will have no problem with this. The only person responsible for screwing up your XBOX is YOU. Have fun.

Introduction:

By doing this flash, you will be able to do EVERYTHING a person WITH a modchip can do. The only thing you can't do, only if you have a V1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5 XBOX is use XBOX LIVE. If you have a V1.0/1.1 and want to use XBOX LIVE, you can add a switch, so basically you can do EVERYTHING a person can do with an X-Ecuter2 Modchip, which is all covered in this guide.

Things you will need:

An Unmodded XBOX

A Modded XBOX (To transfer the gamesave to)

A Memory Card (To copy the gamesaves to)

15 - 20 WATT Soldering Iron

Solder

Some Wire

Hot Glue Gun / Electrical Tape (For a SECURE Connection)

TORX 10/20 Screwdrivers (To open XBOX and take Hard Drive & DVD-ROM Drive out)

Basic Knowledge on how to solder

SPST Lighted Rocker Switch (Needed only if you have a V1.0/1.1 XBOX and still wish to use XBOX LIVE after flashing your TSOP. You can get the switch from HERE

An original copy of James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire

XBTOOL (If you wish to edit your BIOS to your preference)

007 Hacked Gamesave WITH Raincoat 0.7 (Make sure you have V0.7 of Raincoat)

A Computer (obviously)

Knowledge of FTPing into your XBOX Console

A TV

XBOX Controller

Audio Exploit Game Save Hack (Needed for after you flash, so you can connect XBOX to PC and put whatever dashboard and other stuff you want on there).

Let's Get Started:

Alright...so you have everything you need? Let's begin. You need to find out which XBOX Version you have. Go HERE to find out.

If you have an XBOX V1.0/1.1 Follow this:

Fire up your soldering iron, and open up your XBOX. There are 6 screws on the bottom of it. Once you have the top cover off, unplug the IDE and Power from your XBOX Hard Drive. Then take the screw out, to free the Hard Drive. Next, take the 2 screws out of the DVD-ROM Drive (in the front left and right corner) Then lift the drive up, and take out the IDE and yellow cable from your DVD-ROM Drive. Now unplug everything that's connected to the motherboard (The power supply connector is the hardest to get out, just yank it out. Once everything is disconnected from the motherboard, there's 11 screws holding it down. Remove those 11 screws. Now you have to identify what TSOP you have. There's: WINBOND, ST, SHARP, and HYNIX also known as HYUNDAI. The TSOP is located here:

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

(Ignore the green circles, just study the Red Square). As you can see, this is a WINBOND.

If you have a SHARP TSOP, instructions are below.

If you have a WINBOND, ST, or HYNIX / HYUNDAI chip, follow these instructions:

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Once again, ignore the green circles. Just focus on the red circle. You have to join those 2 points together, which is also called bridging. There is 2 ways you can do this: 1) Just put a bit of solder on your soldering iron, heat up both points, and make a bridge between them so they are both touching. 2) Connect a wire from 1 of the points to the other. (The 1^st way is the easiest).

Next, just drop some hot glue over the points to secure the connection, or electrical tape will do to.

Now, flip your motherboard over. Grab a little piece of wire, strip a little off the ends, and connect these 2 points:

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Ignore the green lines, just study the WE# and WR# and yellow line. All you have to do here is connect one end of your wire to WE#, and the other end to WR#.

Now you have the option to install a switch if you like, you don't have to, it's a bit extra work, but it pays off, and allows you to use XBOX LIVE.

*NOTE* For placement of the switch, the best place is in between the Ethernet and Audio plug-ins in the back of the XBOX, just put it a bit higher then that. Just use a dremel tool to drill a nice hole and fit it in nice, put some hot glue on to secure the connection.

 If your not going to install a switch, flip the motherboard back over, and put all of the 11 screws back in. If you are going to install a switch, get three pieces of wire about 12 inches long each, and strip the ends. You need to connect one more wire on the bottom of your motherboard.

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Ignore the green circle, just focus on the A19 POINT where the arrow is pointing to. Solder one end of the three wires you stripped to the A19 point, and once again put a blob of hot glue or a piece of electrical tape for a safe fit. Put the motherboard back in, and make sure you bring that one wire connected from the A19 point on top of the motherboard with you, and connect that to the MIDDLE point on the switch.

(Top of motherboard) Ignore the green lines and study the VCC3.3 POINT the yellow arrow is pointing to. Just connect another wire to that point, and run it to the POWER POINT on the switch. (It will say what points are which on the switch).

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

*NOTE* As you can see in the pic, that TSOP is an ST TSOP.

*NOTE* It can be hard to get the wires to stick onto the switch's connections, all you have to do is just heat up the metal on the switch so you will get a good stick. MAKE SURE 100% that all wires are connected on switch before proceeding to flash BIOS.

Tug on them and make sure they are on, sometimes they may look on, but are loose.

For the last wire on the switch, which is the GND (Ground POINT), all you have to do is run a wire from the GND POINT on the switch to the Metal Chassis anywhere on the XBOX.

Now all you have to do is make sure ALL connections are 100% SECURE, and that the switch is on the ON POSITION (POWER).

Put your XBOX back together, you don't have to put the top cover on just leave it off just incase. You are now ready for the exciting part, flashing!!! (Scroll down to FLASHING section).
