Hi there i recently bought a DuoX 2 GS Cromwell/FlashBios Edition mod chip for my version 1.0 X box, i can get bank 0 and bank 1 to come up. But when i try the normal boot up with the open button the screen comes up that my X box requires service. Does any one no if this is a normal thing after installing the chip?

What error code are you getting?

When you press the eject button it will bypass the chip and boot the original bios. Sounds like it's working right but you don't have the correct files in you C: so it's freaking out and throwing a code.

"Your Xbox Requires service
Please Call Xbox customer Support"
That is all it says, there was no error code before it do you have an idea what could be the problem (i am thinking the original bios is damaged)

is your hard drive locked? When you start up your xbox with the eject button do you see the microsoft logo on the bottom on the xbox startup screen?




The microsoft logo will appear when the xbox is attempting to unlock the hard drive. If the logo doesn't come up your problem is probably hard drive related.

You have the same problem as one of our other members. You'll have to build an eeprom reader. Rather than handle the same problem seperate go over to that thread and read.

As for your hard drive it's much easier to buy a new drive, however you can force unlock the hard drive but it will lose all information.

most of those steps are soft modding issues, will i have to create and eeprom to back it up if i have a hard modded xbox or just a new HHD would work sorry for the stupid question but it seems a new HHD would unlock the Xbox

The xbox uses a code that locks the hard drive, this code is contained within the eeprom.bin file. Every eeprom is unique so you can't take a hard drive from another xbox and expect it to work on yours. The motherboard and the hard drive are mated together by the eeprom.

Now the reason i tell you to go this route is because it sounds like the drive is unlocked and you need the eeprom. It really shouldn't matter much because the msdash isn't really necessary to have since you have a hard modded xbox but it will not boot the ms dash because the hard drive needs to be locked.

If i were you i would disconnect the eject "BT" connection from the modchip and just use the bios on the chip. You can however get msdash files and run the correct xbe to load the ms dash.

Also i think there's a way to lock your new drive with your eeprom but i don't deal with hard modded xbox's so ill have someone else come in to help you if you want to go that route.

Just let me know

well i was lead to believe that the original bios was to work before the flash disc would read, but i have try'd flashing it several times but nothing happens so i was first trying to fix the original bios part so i could flash my bios. Do i need to fix the original to get the flash disc to read?

no, that's the reason why you have a modchip, it pretty much overides the bios on the board and boots it's own bios. You should be able to flash the chip if you can get the chip to boot. Reread all the directions i'm sure you're doing something wrong.
