I think it's possible to edit the version or HDD locking code. Hopefully someone with more experience will show up. Flashing and especially editing eeproms can be dangerous. Recovery can be difficult. If you are using a good softmod you will need to take extra precautions.
Any virtual eeprom would need to be off and re-created after. AZImmortal wrote:There's really no advantage to having a locked hard drive now that Xbox Live is gone. It only makes it harder to install into another Xbox if it doesn't have the same EEPROM.Exactly. All my hard discs in TSOP (pre v1.6) and modchip (v1.6) boxes are deliberately left unlocked. But, for my softmodded v1.6s this seems like a great idea. Completely avoids the need to burn a box specific XBOXHDM CD for each and every box you have when you want to change the hard disc in it - it becomes a one-CD-for-all situation.

There is a 256 byte Serial EEPROM on the Xbox which stores:.XBOX VERSION.KERNEL VERSION.RAM SIZE.XBOX SERIAL.MAC ADDRESS.ONLINE KEY.VIDEO STANDARD.XBE REGION.HDD KEY.CONFOUNDER.HDD MODEL.HDD SERIAL.HDD PASSWORD.XBOX DVD MODEL The EEPROM is located on the motherboard between the TSOP and another chip. The EEPROM is a Rhom BR24C02 device (runs on Vcc = 3.3V), and its I2C address code is 0xA8 (that's already shifted left to compensate for the LSB r/w bit, the 'real' device code is 0x54).
I managed to find a sample contents, taken from an ACTUAL box, and Here's what I found. Code: 00000000: e31c 5c23 6a58 6837 b712 266c 9911 30d1. 00000010: e23e 4d56 f773 2b73 85fe 7f0a 08ef 153c.MV.s+s.
Code: One of xman954's posts gave me the idea. I have 2 xbox ver 1.1 softmodded with Kingroach Ndure and one chipped xbox 1.6. I want to be able to do hdd upgrades or swap hdd between the 3 xbox without messing with the eeproms. So I simply decided to zeroize the hdd key in the eeprom to 32 zeros on all 3 xbox. Here's the steps: 1.
For softmods, disable virtual eeprom. In ConfigMagic, press Start button and select unlock hdd. Edit on the fly eeprom in ConfigMagic. Zeroize hdd key to 32 zeros.
Select Update xbox eeprom option. Load eeprom option in ConfigMagic. Lock hdd option in ConfigMagic This should help the OP.
I am also working on an alternative eeprom reader design with USB connection to make it easy to flash/restore eeprom. But it is work in progress.
KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR XBOX SAFE! First of all if you have not opened your Xbox and you are having problems, think about using your warranty if it’s still covered. If you open the box it will invalidate your warranty. Each ring represents any object, lets think of one of them as you and one of them as your Xbox, regardless of whether you are positive or negatively charged or both objects are either positive or both negative, the charge wants to equalize itself when the two objects meet causing a static spark. DVD REPAIR If your Xbox is freezing during games or returning the dreaded Dirty Disc Error you have a DVD drive problem.
If this all sounds like too much work you can always buy a replacement drive. First off, DO NOT BLOW CANNED AIR INTO THE DRIVE WITHOUT OPENING IT! This will almost certainly make things worse, you just assure that the dust will be redistributed evenly inside the drive and this includes a coating on the optics you are trying to clean. Determine the manufacturer of your X-Box DVD drive Check Xbox DVD version without opening your Xbox.
All DVD drives listed are compatible with all versions of X-Box Console 1.0-1.5 See “how to fix dirty disc errors” for more info. Hit eject on your X-Box and check out the tray. The Samsungs extra cut-outs are pretty obvious so that is easy to pick out. Updated some time ago, Phillips came out with a new drive that makes use of this hump. The laser is positioned vertically and the PCB is designed to allow the laser to pass through the board and make use of this empty area. Apparently, this was the design they intended to initially use when designing the X-Box DVD drive case and only implemented the changes to the internals recently. DETERMINE VERSION OF X-BOX There are currently 7 versions of X-Box on the market today (10/24/04).
These are referred to as 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6. All original X-Box DVD drives work in all consoles regardless of version. XBOX POWER SUPPLY COMPATIBILITY You can convert a 1.0/1.1 to a 1.2-1.5 by using this diagram 1.0-1.1 Consoles have power supplies with an AT style connector (one row of pins) 1.2-1.5 Consoles have power supplies that have an ATX style connector (two rows of pins). POWER SUPPLY FAILURE Power supply failure, the darn thing just won’t turn on. Usually proceeded by a popping sound right after attempting to turn on. In addition to the pop there is usually a hot smell and possibly faint smoke. Check out this link if you want to take a crack at repairing.
I find this to be a waste of time since most often the fuse blew for a reason and if you do not fix the cause it will just blow again or swap it out. Use v1.0/v1.1 PSU for v1.2/1.3 console (v0.1) For those of you that have a blown & irreparable v1.2/1.3 X-Box power supply unit, you can now use a v1.0/v1.1 Xbox power supply unit to replace it. Lik-Sang offer a replacement v1.0/v1.1 (variable input) power supply. Join each wire, soldering each one, and insulate with heat shrink or insulation tape.
Plug it in and go! Page 10 of 87. LOCATION of Video Chip on motherboard (same on all versions) The video chip is located in the red square area Now check what brand of video chip you have (click picture that matches your Xbox) IMAGE1: 'Conexant' written on your video chip.

PICTURE2: There's no fan on the GPU Select which picture matches with your Xbox: Your Xbox is like on image 1: You have an Xbox v 1.0 Your Xbox is like on image 2: see page 17 Page 14 of 87. Use a multimeter to check if pin2 (red point on images) is connected with ground (screw plate for example). If you prefer you can also measure 3.3v (LPC pin 9) (Xbox must be ON). It's dead on a v1.5. LOCATION of one of the RAM chips The RAM chip is in the red area Now check which brand of RAM chips your Xbox has below PICTURE1: RAM made by Samsung (Samsung written on chip) PICTURE2: RAM made by Hynix (Hynix written on chip).
Xbox Version Detection - (Step 2 Image2) Power connector (v1.0/v1.1 - v1.2/v1.3/v1.4/v1.5/v1.6) LOCATION of the power connector on the motherboard (same on all versions) The power connector is in the red area Now check how many rows of pins your power connector has. There's no perfect method to see the difference between a v1.2 and v1.3. We do know that all PAL Special Edition translucent green Xbox consoles (this is NOT the same as the NTSC Special Edition Halo Xbox) are still v1.2. XBOX VERSION DETECTION - V1.0 = You have a Xbox v 1.0 You have a Xbox v 1.1 You have a Xbox v 1.2. DVD from constant errors to less frequent glitching and pausing during movies and games. But I guess that is better than nothing.
See disassembly procedure for details on how to get at your Xbox DVD drive! Necessary tools. and two in the top, mid drive. Remove all four screws, the ones mid drive are a little hard to get out, screw grabber makes it easy, shaking the drive upside down works too. Remove the bottom tray first; flip the drive so the bottom is facing up. Now you have access to both the lens. And the mirror Blast the optics with canned air, and then continue on to the blast the rest of the DVD chassis trying to blow the remainder of the dust away from the optics.
Using a Q-tip, clean the mirror and the lens with a high quality lens cleaner. You will probably need to pinch the top and bottom together and shift them back and fourth to get the screw holes to line up perfectly. Finish off with the rear screws, re-assemble the Xbox and hope you made things better rather than worse. CRACK OPEN THE XBOX Pause for a moment and ask yourself 'Is there any chance I want to send it in to Microsoft for repairs?' Performing these steps will void your warranty and cause the 'Opened Xbox' pricing strategy to go into effect; this means it will definitely be cheaper to buy a new one.
Be careful in there, there is an exposed power supply with some big cans (capacitors) on it, they can hold electricity for years and are designed to dump completely in one shot. Once all six screws are removed, flip the box upright and grab the sides and shake it a little bit and the bottom should drop away from the cover. I find this is done most easily by putting the Xbox in my lap.
Page 25 of 87. Step 4 - Drive removal, there are 3 screws total holding in both drives. First remove the one for the hard drive; it is located under the IDE cable. Two others are on either side of the front of the DVD drive.
Once the screws are removed unplug the IDE cable to the Hard Drive and loosen the power cord from the track it sits in on the drive tray if you miss this step you won’t be able to remove the. Removing the power cord from the motherboard. Most sites tell you to use a pliers to remove the power plug as it is in there pretty good.
I personally pull on the wires themselves, I risk yanking a wire out of the crimp in the socket, if I screw one up I am willing to repair it. Use your best judgment, the key is to grab half of the wires and pull evenly on all of them at a 45 degree angle, to raise one side of the plug first and then the other, it will not come out straight up. Step 6 - Eleven screws on the motherboard Remove them all and be careful not to scratch the surface of the board with the driver.
Step 7 - Board removal You will need to disconnect the yellow wires coming from the fan, power and reset switches and also the connections to the USB game controller ports, the USB daughter board itself can be left in place or removed. Take your time and be careful. The goal is to remove the front panel without tearing the whole Xbox apart. You would need to do this if you were planning to paint it, install different color LED's in the power switch or just replace the power switch. This can be accomplished while the cover is off but the rest of the Xbox is assembled. The sides of the front panel clamp to the bottom of the Xbox with some good force so you have to pull twist and push harder than you might expect.
Using the screw driver or other prying device attempt to move the front panel and the bottom plastic away from each other, moving the inside portion inward is easier than bending the front clamp outward but a little of each should get the job done. Next we remove the four screws circled in green above. These are in there tight, it is ESSENTIAL to use a good Phillips #0 screw driver and use plenty of down force to see that they do not strip out (if a cheap or well used screw driver is used with not enough down force it is likely to skip and hole out the inside of the screw where the driver grips, so use a good driver and be careful). Re-assembly is pretty much the same, remove the rail from the old laser, install it in the new one, and put it back in place making sure the gear is fitting into place.
See that the bottom rail fits in place between the two 'bumps'. THOMPSON DVD TRAY REMOVAL AND REALIGNMENT For this tutorial we will be using a colorful pallet of made up words like thingy and nub. How to describe some of this better I do not know, well as always plenty of pictures to tell the story.
When the actuator is to the left toward the circuit board the laser assembly is down and the hub that the DVD/CD's would reside on is below the tray. When it is below the tray as pictured below, slide the tray all the way out, there are two tabs circled in green that will stop the tray from coming all the way out, depress these and completely remove the tray. Another common point of failure is the little nub on the white actuator circled in green on the right, that little baby needs to fit into the trough on the bottom of the tray outlined in green in the next photo. Also note the teeth on the far left of the actuator, it looks like there are some missing right? No, that's normal. PHILLIPS XBOX DVD DRIVE COMPLETE DISSASSEMBLY Tools: Phillips #1 Screwdriver T7 Torx Driver Remove four Screws circled in green Remove top cover All CD/DVD drives have some sort of mechanism to move the laser and hub up and down, the Phillips drive has one on the top, barely accessible at the front of the drive tray. To completely remove the tray, lift the catch on the right side of the drive.
Now you should have a good view of the laser assembly note that on the Phillips drive there is a black gear rail that sometimes pops out of place and the drive begins showing Disc is Dirty or Damaged errors. Flip the drive over to remove the bottom cover. Note the black tabs that are circled, these often bind and make the tray difficult to remove.
Push those in first then remove the tray. Now we should have a good view of the bottom PCB, note the screws circled in green, these must be removed only for total disassembly, and if you are installing a new laser it is not necessary to remove the screws. Now all the cables have been detached Take the end of the circuit board near the rear of the drive and flip it toward the front, this will reveal one more cord to detach. Page 39 of 87.
Now the laser assembly is exposed from the bottom of the drive. As well as the top If you wanted to try cleaning the lens and mirror this would be as far as you need to go. Blast the optics with compressed air attempting to direct the dust away from the lens (top) and mirror (bottom) Use a clean Q-tip and lens cleaner to clean the optics, you want to achieve a streak free surface. Push them in the direction of the arrows and they will pop out and the laser assembly can be removed Now you should have a pile of parts that looks something like this Reassembly is the reverse. Install the laser by pushing the rubber dampeners into their sockets. Connect the circuit board to the white four wire connector on the chassis, lay the circuit board over the chassis and install the four black screws. If you are receiving Disc cannot be recognized it may be dirty or damaged errors on your Phillips DVD drive you can replace the laser to resolve the issue What you'll need: Phillips Xbox DVD drive with failing laser Replacement Laser Phillips #1, #0, #00.
Removing the solder is best accomplished by wiping a clean 15Watt or other low temperature soldering iron across the pads, (be very careful!!!) the iron picks up the solder. Remove four Phillips #1 screws One of them is under the warranty void if seal damaged sticker Remove the top cover. The CD/DVD tray must now be extended to gain access to the laser. By sliding the actuator in the direction of the arrow below The tray moves about a 1/4 inch forward and can be opened the rest of the way just by pulling on it and it will slide freely. The rail is held in place by a small metal spring loaded tab. The metal is in the shape of a number seven (7) the small leg presses against the plastic and holds the rail from escaping; to remove we need to elevate the metal tab over the plastic so it can slide to the left.
Getting the tab over the plastic is a two handed operation. I used two small regular precision screw drivers to lift and one to leverage to the side. In this photo you can see the tab is lifted over the plastic riser, and held in place by a screw driver, the rail can now be lifted up. In this photo the rail has been freed but the front is still attached, pulling the rail about a quarter inch back releases the front.
Now that the gear and rail has been swapped over to the new laser it is time to re-install the laser and rail. Start by fitting the laser U shaped notch back into the lower rail in this photo. Next insert the top rail into the standoff at the top right in this picture.
Using a precision screw driver, depress the tab so it is below the plastic, you may want to also replace the glue that holds the metal in its place. Reassemble and install in your Xbox! Page 48 of 87. SAMSUNG DVD COMPLETE DISASSEMBLY Tools Phillips #1 Begin with a Samsung Xbox DVD Drive flip over, remove four screws. The top and bottom covers come off easily To slide out the tray either use the emergency eject from the front of the drive or flip it over and slide this white thing in the direction of the arrow.
Removing the DVD tray, two clips need to be depressed on either side of the front of the DVD to allow its removal If you are having tray eject issues the nub on the white thing circled below has most likely jumped out of the trough it fits in on the bottom of the tray, when reassembling the tray be sure this fits back into the trough on the bottom of the tray Removing the laser assembly, remove the two screws where the blue circle is in this photo. This is a view of the bottom of the drive and you can see the grommet on the right has been removed from its 'C' shaped holder.
The grommet on the left still needs to come out! With the laser loose I find this is a good time to remove the circuit board to gain easy access to the ribbon cables. Re-assembly - Install the laser assembly back into the chassis, put the shaft of a small screwdriver through the hole in the center of the rubber grommet and push it into place Note the large headed screws on the left in this picture have been installed Lay the PCB on top of the chassis and reconnect two ribbon cables Page 52 of 87. The PCB is held in place by two back plastic clips circled below, press the board into place Flip the drive into the upright position. On the top, install the ribbon cable that attaches to the laser. Note the position of the brown clip Once the ribbon cable is installed snap the brown clip into the locked position as shown below Put the top and bottom covers back on and you’re done Page 53 of 87.
2mm standard screw driver (like for glasses) Torx T10 X-acto knife Digital Multimeter Start by disassembling your Xbox and removing the DVD drive Open your DVD drive Gain Access to the potentiometer by loosening the bottom circuit board enough so you can get a. For the purposes of this tutorial I have removed the ribbon cables to get better shots of the laser, this is not necessary for adjusting the pot Looking at the Pot we see 3 contacts.
Position the drive so the single contact is on your left, the one to measure from on the right is the lower one. Touch points 1 and 3 with the probes, you use red or black with either it makes no difference.
Get an initial reading, it should be over 1400 and not fluctuate. Scrape away the epoxy on the screw, not always an easy task and probably the most likely chance to irreparably damage your DVD. The tools, a paperclip!
The bigger paperclips work best. Straighten it out as below. You will find a hole on all Xbox consoles at Arrow 1. If you stick your paperclip in that hole and it hits metal go on to point 2 (Phillips DVD drives) Both Thomson and Samsung DVD drives open via the hole at arrow 1.
Once it is out far enough the tray can be pulled out easily, (never force it) Page 58 of 87. Explanation of Error Codes Call Customer Service with No Error Number – see page 60 Description: When you attempt to boot, a 'you need service' message comes up, and has a LED style number on the top left hand corner.

Another method of doing this is to put your PC next to the Xbox, use the Xbox to unlock the drive by powering it up, then swap the cable to the PC IDE cable and then allow your PC to detect it. If you have an Xbox with bad Hard Drive the process to swap gets a bit more complicated and there is no possibility of doing this without installing a modchip. XBOX Live, providing you have an unbanned EEPROM on a dead or working motherboard The smart thing to do is to always have a backed up copy of your Xbox’s EEPROM. It is a good practice to make backing up important data part of the modding process, specifically, your Xbox’s EEPROM information (done with Configmagic) and a backup of your C: drive (done with.

Extracting the HD password from an Xbox hard drive The Xbox harddrive uses a fairly old but relatively unused set of security commands to prevent easy access to it's built in drive. However, since the password system does not specify any form of challenge/reply system the password is transmitted in 'clear'.
The transfer of data to the drive cannot occur until BSY 0. You will see (if you are watching the DIOR line) that the Xbox is polling that register waiting for the bit to clear. When it does the Xbox will begin transferring the data bytes to the drive. DIOW line changes, but should be able to see all of the actual data bus changes. If you decide to try this, verify it works on some other drive before using your Xbox drive, as I have no idea what kinds of problems might come up if it fails.
Error Code 21. When Error Code 21 comes up power off the Xbox, unplug the Xbox 1's hard drive and put it back into Xbox 1. Reconnect all the cable to Xbox 1's hard drive and boot it.

Repairing Traces and Lifted Pads Here is a photo of an Xbox motherboard that has a failed mod attempt. Prior to fixing the traces the box would attempt to boot three times and then go to the flashing red and green led. The orange line in the upper center is where a conductive pen was used to attempt to re-connect a lifted trace.
Using a 15-20 Watt soldering iron tin the points and the ends of the wires with solder. All you need to do is make contact, don't focus on getting a large amount of solder, a wire that stays in place is all you need there will never be any stress on the wires and it is not a race, take your time. Use an X-Acto knife to scrape off any green board material away from the solder points. Original Xbox Controller Repair Opening a Controller - Don't Suffer With Sticky Buttons!!
By far the easiest fix, may as well spend the 30 minutes it takes to clean them up. Nothing worse than dieing because of a missed shot or jump! So for those of you that need a little encouragement here we go. You can now safely remove all the buttons and rubber cups they sit in.
