Nope.
Either chip or softmod using software exploits.
But a "hardmod" would require a chip with a hacked bios.
Actually, there is a way and that involves soldering the TSOP points, now that I think of it, but I can't help you with that since I've never read up on it.

Yup, it's called TSOP flash.

But, if you screw it up you'll need to install a chip.

I STRONGLY suggest you do your homework B4 you attempt it.

You can get good info from this site and Xbox-scene.com.

Good luck

Honestly, if you have no $ but own one of the games needed to do a softmod, I'd say pursue that avenue.
Thanks for the info JackBear. That's more than I'd be able to give as pointers. Laughing

HA! And with good reason, for according to what little I've learned at this point, to screw the TSOP soldering will make the Xbox a brick with no chance of recovery unless you bypass the whole nine yards with a chip.
May as well have started with a chip to begin with at that point.

You betcha I'm suggesting that you do your homework. And NO, I'm not a retired high school teacher.

You know, it's not like every question hasn't been asked and answered a dozen times. I've asked a bunch myself but I try to research first so I don't look like a total Newb.

Anyway, be careful if you elect to TSOP flash and again good luck.

There is another option to recover a TSOP mod, that is a 29-Wire Homebrew Mod chip. But those are a HUGE pain in the Ass! ( Idea Can you guess why I have a TSOP mod AND a 29-Wire chip? Embarassed )
