IIRC, Evoxdash and XBlastOS know the correct programming algorithm to flash an SST49LF002A flash device. However, I don't have one of these problem modchips to see if that's the case or not. I keep thinking of new things to add to my original post.Įdit2: There may be a design flaw on the modchip's printed circuit board that is preventing the flash chip from being reprogrammable or CPLD coding revision error. Or, have an already working Aladdin XBlast hybrid modchip that you can hotswap modchips or remove and socket a new SST49LF080A into the modchip to program the new device in the Xbox. To make an Aladdin XBlast hybrid modchip that uses an SST49LF080A, you have to reprogram the Lattice CPLD chip (using a JTAG programmer) and replace the flash memory chip with the preprogrammed part you mention.Įdit 3: To preprogram the SST49LF080A, you need the external programmer previously mentioned. The socketed flash chip that has been installed on many recently purchased Aladdin modchips has been a rebadged part - SST49LF002A (Manufacturer ID: BF Device ID: 57), not a real SST49LF020A that can be reprogrammed with Evoxdash or any other flash programming application that runs on the Xbox.Įdit 2: There may be a design flaw on the modchip's printed circuit board that is preventing the flash chip from being reprogrammable or CPLD code revision error/bug. You have to remove the flash memory chip from the socket then reprogram it using an external flash programmer that connects to a PC. No, for the Aladdin XT you need a real SST49LF020A (Manufacturer ID: BF Device ID: 52).Įdit: To update the BIOS on the modchip you have. So how does one go from there? Ir I get SST49LF080A is there a way for me to flash this instead?
