Thanks. The flasher refused to flash when set to 3.3v. Hag suggested to set it to 5.0v, which I did, and from that moment the flasher worked just fine.

Final solderjob for the 128MB (Image for the soldering attached) Xyclops flashed 1.6 xbox I'm working on. In case someone wants a challange. Wires are short as f. and nicely routed.USB header for the external USB port and header for the external switch to enable the debug mode. And as bonus the LPC rebuild which I have redone for the ModXO YP-RP2040 which will also find a home in that xbox. Enough OT or I have to give my self a warning. More coming soon. * I think ... *

The CCI : 68b245631821fa28824f0b1a22df8954 is the Global (ROW) uncut version (Like they have it in the US). The CCI : 8a578f267cd43a346a547ba9898d5212 is the uncut PAL (EU) version. The CCI : f47642f6a4c235900afc957a4c46ac51 is the german (DE = Deutschland (Germany)) PAL cut version.

I have checked: Call of Duty - Finest Hour (GLO) (CCI) (MD5: 68b245631821fa28824f0b1a22df8954) Call Of Duty - Finest Hour (PAL) (CCI) (MD5: 8a578f267cd43a346a547ba9898d5212) Call Of Duty - Finest Hour (PAL) (CCI) (DE) (MD5: f47642f6a4c235900afc957a4c46ac51) Used Cerbios v2.4.2 and all are working fine without any problem.

If interested I could send @Prehistoricman 6 of the B01's chips for testing.

@RetroMyBits My soldering was correct and several times checked with a multimeter. Edit: The final install with pin header for an external switch. I cut the 2 traces to the vias for that. Using a jumper for now. Plan to use an usb extension and (as said) switch for the final setup so that you're able to flash the console even when closed.

Alright. FINALY after some more tries, I got the flashing done. Using 5v and a different location for the soldering. But, I have tried the same yesterday with no luck. Now after changing the point where I have soldered with 5v it worked. Not to sure why but hey.... (She probably heard that I will rip out her rams )

Replaced the awg30 with thicker wire as well. Soldered the extra GND wire to the mini usb leg. It's time this 1.6 faith it's desiny - Become a ram doner.

Now it starts but then complains about the faster baut rate. Using -s flag result in the same error as above, Shorten the wires as far as possible and added a massive copper wire which is also pretty short. The programmer literally hangs in the air.

I have put your opinion to the test. Short af wires with the same result.

Alright, before I search for the edge of the carped to throw my self from it .... XBox 1.6 w. Samsung Ram and A-A02 total stock. Flasher is one of those fany cheapos (Tried a couple of em since I have enough of them in case one is dead). So this is the journey so far. Tried to flash the xyclops a couple of days ago always ending up Sync failed. But smart is who always does the same hoping for a different result. And so I did. After a couple of tries doing nothing but the same over and over again this happend Now. a couple of days later, I gave it another shot. Used a resistor and got this fancy new massage... Tried it again just to get the no communication thing over and over again. YAY! So smart as I am (Not really but sound funny here), I removed the resistor and tried again. That ended up in this (Why it workes now in the setup I startet with in the first place? WTF.) So yeah baby erase it. And OFC little me is so ready to program it. But then..... So again, same setup like the one I have startet with but now giving me a different result. It seems it erases the chip but then fails to write the bios for what ever reason (Maybe revenge of the xyclops for killing a couple of them, who knows). So any idea? My next try would be C4 if I can find some and if not a hammer (Just kidding - Or maybe not...). EDIT. One strange thing I forgot to say. When removing the resistor I get either no connection or erase failed. By simply putting the reistor on the same pin without connecting it to the xbox it fails at programming as written above. And some more fun stuff. With a simple switch connectet instead of the resistor I get this : I beginn to assume that the flasher just sucks badly.
