I'm having problems using the lpt programmer on the Xecuter 2.2 Pro. First what I have tried. I have 2 xboxs and ordered 2 2.2 Pros. I installed both in both boxes. I then tried to flash the bios using the supplied lpt programmer. It erases the flash, then starts to write the new bios and then x2bm locks up. Im using xbm, have tried both 1.1 and the beta 7 version. Have tried several different bin files including the cromwell, and this doesn't make a difference. I can't flash with the cd because i have erased the flash on both chips (stupid i know, but i wanted to program with computer, thats why i bought the pro version). Have tried 3 different computers, changing lpt port configs in bios to all available options. Have tried with and without a cable (hooking programmer straight into lpt port), have tried booting to dos and using xcable and x2pro. The programs see the xecuter chip (I get the 01 D5 code), and if I change the flash protect then i get the 0FFF error. I have the switches all set to off execpt for sw 4 which is the flash protect, this is on. I have the mod disabled (with the enable/disable switch). When disabled the xbox starts normally, when it is enabled it frags. I have checked the voltage on the lpc header pins I installed, i get the correct voltages. I have see a post where someone else was having this problem, but there was no solution posted. Could this be a D0 problem, would D0 keep you from flashing the chip with a programmer? I can't believe I have 2 bad chips, I think this is more likely something I'm not doing right. Also, I have made the bios's 1 meg using both xbm and the 1meg bat file, I have also just tried to flash just 1 256K bank, this makes the progress indicator stop at 50% (eraseing is the first 50%, hangs when it starts to write). I really appreciate your help.
This is not my write up but i am having the exact same problems....
