Hi guys, I'm extremely noobish about this whole process. I've been pulling my hair out tonight, and being nearly 1am, and that I need to be to work at 8 am... I'm going to bed after I make this post, so I will make it as descriptive as possible.

I have an xbox 1.4, and purchased the spice modchip. I installed the chip seemingly properly. When I boot up, I get flashing green light for a few seconds, then it flashes orange. On the screen the "Xenium / www.ozXodus.com" screen, and it says "Loading..." at the top left. I've let it sit for a good 25 minutes and nothing loads. The hard drive hooked up is a 200 gb hard drive. I have not touched the hard drive since I bought it. I"m not sure if I need to format it within windows, I figure I don't need to because the program I want to get working (AI Deluxe) claims to be able to format/setup the HD.

Basically I'm stuck at this loading screen, and I don't know what to do. I'm sure someone/many of you will read this and have an instant solution as to what I am doing wrong. As I said, I hooked up the chip as it said to, and the red led turns on inside and everything.

Thanks again for any input guys!

You have done nothing wrong.

Your chip is in recovery mode. Just pull the chip off of the spice adapter and flip it upsidedown. You will see a little switch. Just move it so it covers the black marking that is notched in the chip (this is the normal position).

Place the chip onto the adapter and reboot. You should now get the XOS menu.

Now onto flashing... hopefully no toupe will be needed after this task.

To give you a heads up, here will be your first move.

After you have the XOS menu up on your screen, select LAUNCH ITEMS

Next, select ADD ITEM

Next, select TSOP

A new screen appears. A typewriter will be on the screen with the word RETAIL KERNEL typed out. Just select DONE.

Next, you will be asked to select a color that you want the Xenium Ice LED (this is the LED on the chip, or if you installed the external LED it will handle that too) to be. I usually pick green, but up to you what you want.

Basically, anytime you launch the MS Bios (retail kernel) the LED will change to this color so you automatically know what bios you are running just by looking at the chip through the side vent, or by looking at the external LED if installed)

Now, you have to flash your mod chip with a hacked bios.

Do you know what this means? If not, you need to do some studying. Your Xbox will not run any differently unless you have a hacked bios flashed to the chip.

I suggest the X2 5035 bios or the X2 4983.06 bios.

You can flash this chip a few different ways. Firstly, if you have a router you can just connect your Xbox to it and flash it from a web browser (this is the method I prefer).

If you dont have a router, then you can create a bios CD using Nero. I suggest burning it to a DVD-R disk NOT a CDRW. If you want guaranteed success making a bios disk. Use Nero and burn it to a DVD-R

The other way to flash your chip is from the HD, but you have to be able to FTP the bios to the HD and that is probably not an option for you right now.

Good luck, let us know if you need anymore help.

Thank you very much for the help. Here's what I have accomplished since then:

I have hooked it up via FTP to my computer so I was able to use webbrowser, go in, and flash the 5035 bios. Now when I go to "launch" I have it as an option to load.


EDIT: EvoX bootup disk worked, now trying to get this blasted network thing working good so I can see the folders properly.
