You can transfer any softmod installer to your Xbox HDD and launch it to install the necessary files onto your hard drive so that when you boot from the stock BIOS, you trigger the softmod and subsequently load up any homebrew software that can reflash the TSOP (installer discs like Auto-Installer Deluxe and Hexen can do that).Aladdin Xt Plus 2 Install Guide Average ratng: 4,1/5 6824votes Lucky for you, you have FTP access when you boot from your Modchip. Obviously, your TSOP currently holds the stock BIOS that won't let you run any kind of homebrew software! In order to get to boot homebrew software from a stock BIOS, you need to have a softmod installed on your Xbox Hard drive. In order to reflash the TSOP, you must boot from it. On which point you need to solder in order to enable TSOP reflashing. It does involve extra soldering on the Xbox motherboard but it's no more challenging than installing a modchip so you could give it a try. Finally for your last question, yes, it is possible to reflash the stock TSOP with a hacked BIOS like Evox M8+ or IND-Bios. You'll now have a modded Xbox and you'll be able to access the hard drive via FTP for as long as you are in UnleashX dashboard. That should get you going for the basics. If not, Try to reinstall UnleashX to another partition on your drive. Once those steps are completed, try to boot your Xbox without any disc in the drive. * Format HDD with a single F extra partition (assuming you're still going with that 160GB drive) * Install MS stock dashboard on C partition, latest version is 5960 * Install whatever custom dashboard you want on either C or E partition.

In your case, if the HDD is brand new, I suggest you burn a copy of Hexen disc (I prefer Auto-Installer Deluxe both both are good) and do the following operations, in order and using the same disc for all of them: * Flash modchip with Evox M8+ for 1.0-1.5 Xbox. Yes it will work right out of the box with your new HDD. The chip bypass loading the BIOS from the stock TSOP and instead fetches it from the Aladdin XT flash chip. 1.5 are very, very rare but you never know! In second you are correct.

There are tutorials scattered on the Web that instruct you on how to properly identify your motherboard revision. I think you require a multimeter to do so. First, make sure that both your motherboards are not 1.5. Will it work out of the box with my new HDD and I can run just pop Slayers or Hexen in to actually softmod the original TSOP? If that's possible, it'd be preferable in case the aladdin ever craps out or something, since it'll essentially be bricked again without the original stock HDD if I keep the dashboard. So my understanding is that the chip just bypasses the original TSOP (flash where firmware is stored) and uses whatever is loaded on the aladdin's TSOP? I'm not 100% sure because I have two different Xboxes but they're both definitely not 1.6 when I checked. Oh awesome, thanks for the tips! I believe it was a 1.3. It's just more convenient as there's no chance of booting from stock TSOP by mistake. As a personal preference, I would make the modchip always ON if I don't intend to boot from the onboard TSOP anymore. This simulates a long power button press which is required to make your Xbox boot from Aladdin XT (short power button press makes it boot from TSOP). However, if you wish for your Xbox to always boot from the modchip, you can ease up the installation by soldering the 'BT' pad on the modchip to ground. How to install it or can someone send me some installation instructions? Worry about soldering R1 and HD and X(I know it says to bridge X. The Aladdin Advance XT is different from the other Aladdin chips I've installed. This is my 1st modchip install so any info will help. I have checked but I can't find any reference to XT plus2. Post subject: How to Install Aladdin XT PLUS2 in xbox v1.6 Can someone point me in the right direction to find information on how to install an aladdin XT plus2 in an xbox v1.6. Yes both d0 and BT signals on the modchip need to be properly interfaced. Check bottom left section of the install guide you linked. Do you know what motherboard revision you'll be installing your modchip onto? Yes 1.6(b) requires extra steps(lpc rebuild) but 1.5 have extra step as well.
