#Box eeprom bin xbox mod#
What Im not clear about is whether the eeprom unlocks the hard disk before the mod chip takes over. This leads me to believe the problem is either with the traces on my failed xbox OR a problem with the eeprom/hard disk unlocking (since i copied/converted the eeprom from a 1.1 xbox) I took the mod chip from the failed xbox and tried it the crystal xbox and it worked fine. I have another crystal xbox (not 1.6 i believe) with the same mod chip. My mod chip is the Akira2 is a cheap mod with a SSt40 chip on it. Just fingers crossed your hdd key isn't lost Seems that you can get bios images from many sources/teams with built in eeproms. The backup should be on your hdd (if not locked) in c: That allowed me to write my backup of my eeprom I made with the evolution x dashboard. I had to flash back to an old version which had a built in eeprom due to the bios makeup.
I messed up my eeprom years ago with a dodge release of a xecuter bios. But thinking about it, you should get an error screen. The eeprom from the 1.1 unit might have a different hdd key so won't turn on. Is the HDD in the 1.6 Xbox locked? If it is, the key for it should be sitting (or was) in the eeprom. I absolutely hate the thought of having to bin this xbox because of my stupidity but I have spent over 20 hours learning about xboxes and getting this far to no avail. In order to connect the eeprom reader I have to remove the AK2-SE chip (but this just sits on the lpc header so I dont think I have broken anything here).Īfter all of this, the xbox just attempts to boot (green light) twice with a third boot attempt (orange light) before turning off. I know this has worked because when I read back the eeprom I see the modified data instead of all 00000s. I then used the eeprom reader on my failed xbox to write the eerpom to it. I used an eeprom reader to get the eeprom from another 1.1 xbox and used livecompare to convert it to a 1.6 eeprom. From that point the the xbox would startup with a constant green light but no audio/video. 2 weeks ago I was looking at configmagic and managed to erase my eeprom. If you have any issues using this program, open an Issue on this repository.My pride and joy xbox1 is nolonger working and its its my faultīackground: I have an xbox 1.6 with an AK2-SE mod chip which I have never messed with in years. I haven't discovered any issues with the current code, but there might be issues with the current error messages not working properly. To check if it read wrong, compare the eeprom.bin (if reading) or eeprom_edit.bin (if writing) file to the eeprom_result.bin file. Confirm EEPROM:Īny time you read or write to your Xbox's EEPROM, the microcontroller will lastly confirm that the EEPROM worked correctly. Now turn on your Xbox followed by your microcontroller, you might see it read the EEPROM first to eeprom.bin, then it should write the eeprom_edit.bin file to the Xbox's internal EEPROM. First, save the EEPROM file you would like to write to the root of the microcontroller under the name eeprom_edit.bin You can edit your EEPROM dump using this tool Writing EEPROM: You should then recieve a file called eeprom.bin on the root of the microcontroller, this is your EEPROM dump. To dump your EEPROM, simply power up your Xbox followed by powering your microcontroller, you may need to connect the microcontroller to an external power source if you recieve a REPL error about USB connection Once soldered, connect them to the according pins you assigned earlier Dumping EEPROM: Solder or connect wires to the SCL, SDA, and GND pins on your Xbox motherboard using the below guide: (The default pins are mapped to the Adafruit Feather RP2040)
#Box eeprom bin xbox install#
Install CircuitPython to your microcontroller if you haven't alreadyĭownload and extract code.py to your CircuitPython's root directoryĬhange the pin variables to match your board if necessary You can also tell if a board is compatible if it has an I2C interface and is able to run CircuitPython Usage

This code might not work on all CircuitPython compatible boards, I'll list compatibility here: Board
