Question: why does the xbox boot three times then flash red and green?

[Wekd]

I will open by myself
Do I need to be carful when I open it?

you dont have to be super careful, but yea, i mean it is like a computer after all..
just look where the d0 points and 8 board points are.. if u see like metal attached that attaches the wire to the board its a solder.. if u see a screw in the modchip keeping it in place, its a non-solder...
well go further from there..
if u could.. tell me any other details u see.. i.e - color, placement

The mod he's got is prob a homebrew-mod. They're relatively easy if you know how.

If the xbox was missing a file on the HD it wouldn't do the 3 times flash....it would just come up with the call customer service screen.

It looks like 1 of 2 things have happened.


Either...if it's a matrix or similar chip that it's become disaligned.

Or when you've tried updating the bios on the chip it's been a bad flash (Ie, turned off while it was flashing, bios bad etc)


If the latter is the case you'l need to get your mod reflashed using techniques quall etc mentioned.

i've read all the post to these and the first one you said was that you choose delete bios from flash bios ect....
did you then install a bios?
and then you said you think you deleted the evox.ini file?
was your xbox hooked to your pc at the time or did you just do the flash bios thing from the evox dashboard menu?

[Wekd]

Thank you for everyone's help
and I finally got the courage to open my Xbox

Well, on the CHIP
it's written ModuleX2
I'm not sure if that's the chip model
but basically
that's the only CHIP I saw on it

Hope this will help me out

check ur pm's

Well, it is probably a cheapmod clone then. If it was badly flashed, then your likely not going to be able to flash it again. But, if it was bad bios flashed onto it, there is a chance.

Turn the modchip off. There is a switch, right? If it boots with the chip off, then you have a chance to recover. If it won't boot with the chip off (not to the dash, but to an original game), then your ony chance is to buy another chip....and i wouldn't suggest a professional.

btw, if you delete the evox.ini file it won't matter. Evox has one imbedded in the xbe, if none are present, then one is created.

i spose so.

i love xbox its got good graphics but i fail to understand why ever would they create a memory card if it has a harddrive. lol

anyway this question has gone way outa my league

you may want to change the modchip to a better one then u will get a clean bios i suggest the alladin adv but others mite say xecuter mods

[AXmichigan]

dont worry about wekd
ill take care of him
and seaney, the memory card is like the same thing for some other systems
like if u wanna take ur saved games and play them on someone elses xbox, u can do that..
those are for those silly non-modders
but all of us here can just xb-xsaves it up

[seaneyb2003]

ok

no worries, ah my friends dont have xboxs only one of mine have anyway lol.

AXmichigan take good care of Wekd xbox lol u will sort em out its not like ps2ownz

Actually ps2 does have a hdd and now there are people working on how to exploit it. DMS3 has been doing it mainly.
