titan mod M8+ bios mod on TSOP

[chrisrlink]

so if you were living under a rock for the past few months one bios emerged (cerbios) for og xbox to allow 2TB< drives (up to 8TB) but the parts must be split 14 ways for an 8tb or you can use Titan mod patches on the M8plus bios (which allows you to use upto 16tb and format into a single F partition instead of doing 14+ partitions) my question is is it safe in general to flash the M8Plus bios on my 1.0 without a modchip (TSOP) or must i use a chip

Hello.

so if you were living under a rock for the past few months one bios emerged (cerbios) for og xbox to allow 2TB< drives (up to 8TB) but the parts must be split 14 ways for an 8tb or you can use Titan mod patches on the M8plus bios (which allows you to use upto 16tb and format into a single F partition instead of doing 14+ partitions) my question is is it safe in general to flash the M8Plus bios on my 1.0 without a modchip (TSOP) or must i use a chip

The Guide here

says "Not to a TSOPed XBox / Use a Modchip"

Thankfully @Donnie-Burger has already confirmed it works also with TSOP on v1.0.

Maybe more Testing is needed....

Titan - Yeah tsop works on a 1.0 and was non winbond and non sharp - Havent teted all bios variations. About to test with an aladdin chip + 1.6 Xbox.

Format a hard drive with fatxplorer and Titan option - Needs to be 2TB + for Titan option to show up. You can then preload all your stuff with fatxplorer or use a dvd disc of choice to get a dashboard going. I used auto installer deleuxe, modchip, dash, unleashx then setup XBMC4GAMERS from there

If drive empty after fatxplorer you will need to get a dashboard on there.

Did you check md5 hash of your base m8plus bios bin?

m8plus	dfc6288f6b67fd021e1970491c64c0a0
m8plus (1.6)	58b8782501983725f984499620ca342b

What bios chip do you have on motherboard?

 

[chrisrlink]

the hash changed once or twice (though it was the m8+ one dfc6288f6b67fd021e1970491c64c0a0 i think it started as an A one after both applying the titan and nodvd check patches

 

[chrisrlink]

also is hyrinx a bios chip i think it was that

Okay that one worked for me on an 1.0 - I will be documenting all the variations.

I just tried to flash an aladin 1.6 and evolutionx wont flash the file. Trying alternate methods. = Turns out my aladins are non flasshable batch.

Found 2 spare aladdins and 1 was good and flashable. XBOX 1.6 with flashabale aladdin XT working with Titan.

What I have tested so far with Titan + UDMA5 + Startech:

Models working

Tsop 1.0 with Hynix bios (Used EvolutionX to flash)
Tsop 1.0 with St bios (Used EvolutionX to flash)
Tsop 1.2 with Winbond bios (Used Gentoox.ShALLaX.Loader-v6.07 to flash) (Make a folder in C:\BIOS\put bios here and name bios.bin)

Xbox 1.6 with Aladdin XT Plus Modchip (Flashable Version) (Used EvolutionX to flash) (From Hexen 2017 Disc)

Xbox 1.6 with Aladdin XT Plus Modchip (Flashable Version)

Thank you very much.

So i'm not sure about Tsop Sharp 1MB with Titan 256KB bios. Pretty sure we cant flash a 25KB bios to a 1MB chip?

You can. You just have to pad it.

On Windows (from cmd):

copy /b bios.bin+bios.bin+bios.bin+bios.bin 1mbbios.bin

On Linux or OSX (from terminal):

cat bios.bin bios.bin bios.bin bios.bin > 1mbbios.bin

Well did a 128MB ram upgrade and only 64MB shows with Titan bios
Xblast showing success on all 4 banks
XBMC4GAMERS shows 64MB
Emutation shows 64MB

XBOX 1.4 Tsop Winbond - Titan with UDMA 5

Flashed ind bios and 128MB + Chihiro games working

Guess have to wait until the patches are ported to other XBOX Kernels if ever. 128MB+UDMA 5 so close.
