OpenXenium VS ArduinoProm

The OpenXenium modchip is an open-source project done by u/Ryzee119.

OpenXenium developed by Ryzee119 at github.com, and

Here you go https://github.com/Ryzee119/OpenXenium/blob/master/INSTALLATION.md Ryzee119's github for the OpenXenium. I've done a manual rebuild and used a board. If picking up a rebuild board, pre-tin all the points on the board before soldering it to the mobo. If not, you'll likely have a bad time.

This is fixable. OpenXenium + IDE to Sata adapter + Hard Drive is all that is needed. Not only will that get it working, but it will also be a massive upgrade to storage size and features available.

Thankfully these boards are open source and readily available! https://github.com/Ryzee119/OpenXenium

If you have an Arduino or Pi, you can do that using the following tools: https://github.com/grimdoomer/PiPROM https://github.com/Ryzee119/ArduinoProm

Hmm 🤔 that’s stupid to start, you should never touch the hdd key or edit in the on the fly, just lock it with the key of the eeprom.. but if you lock it with config magic I believe there is a master key don’t remember what it was.. never needed it. You have a mod chip so you should be able to boot from any hdd that’s not locked. So maybe you could unlock the drive using a pc and the master key for the hdd.. hope you made a baxku of your eeprom.bin so you can correct your eeprom. You maybe need to flash the eeprom via piprom or Arduinoprom

Eeprom can read and write using i2c port. https://github.com/Ryzee119/ArduinoProm

Ryzee119's ArduinoProm

like the title says, I'm wondering if it's possible to install PiProm on a rpi pico. I saw on the wiki that you can use pi models 1, 1B+, 2B, 3B, Zero-W and Banana Pi and that ArduinoProm is a thing, but haven't been able to find anything about using a pi pico.

If you don't have a raspberry Pi you could also use ArduinoProm which uses an arduino instead (this is what I use because I do not own a raspberry Pi)

These days you don’t need a PC hooked up to a serial port EEPROM reader, you can just use an $1 Arduino (using Ryzee’s ArduinoProm) or even better, an ESP8266 (using dx4m’s amazing and aptly-named Xbox-EEPROM-Utility) board to read it.

its surprisingly happens randomly. usually after saving a new setting to the xbox. Its easy to fix if you have a Pro micro (arduino) or a rasberry Pi. ArduinoProm Or PiPROM will allow you to connect to the motherboards lpc pin header (i use dupont jumpers to do this) and reflash a backup or new eeprom.
