Original Xbox Error Code 5
So I know thats related to the dvdrom. Followed some guides and did as much as I could, changing ide cable, tried original xbox error code 21 bridging connections on the yellow cable to fool it etc but nothing worked. I'm not fussed about the dvd not working anyway as I'd like to try and get coinops and xbmc on it. Every mod

seems to require the drive to be working or access to the consoles settings to get the kernel and dash serial numbers. What are my options? At the moment I'm leaning towards tsop flash and remove the dvd drive check option using something like XBTool, is this possible with the xbox in its current state? thx guys .

I had this error on a junk XBOX before, all I did was change the DVD-ROM power cable and it was solved. There could be a bad trace on the DVD-ROM board too, so I suggest disassembling it and closely look at the board. Even reseating the board might help Anyhow, the best solution I can give you here is; Get a modchip, and hopefully the default bios has the No DVD-ROM hack enabled. Otherwise, you'll have to get another DVD-ROM power cable. Bad_Ad84 sells XBOX modchips, so he might be able to preprogram the hack on there for you.

(doesn't have to read disks after soft/hardmod) ... if you're not comfortable soldering, get a replacement dvd drive, even if it doesn't read disks at all, as long as it's logic controller is fine, so are you! :friendly_wink: amiga12

But also make sure the yellow cables are properly connected to the motherboard and the dvd drive. 1. Make sure ide cables are connected good. 2. Make sure the yellow cables are good and properly connected. 3. Still no succes? Try another dvd drive of which you are sure it is working. It says 10, but it works with 12 too.

Let me start with a short anecdote: Hunter to 911 operator: My friend had a heart attack and I think he is dead.

sure if or when you have seen an error, you will see an error during the normal boot up sequence. Instead of your booting the M$ dashboard or Hacked Dashboard (Evox, UnleashX, Avalaunch, etc.), there will be an message on the screen that says, "Your Xbox Requires Service" and you will see a number on the upper left hand corner of the screen <- this is your error code number. The error codes are listed below Beware, you wont see the bootldr error's because (thanks to: Lordvader129) : "when you see this" is not entirely accurate, you never see the bootloader errors, as they are one that cause the reboot/FRAGs 2 - bootldr - Eeprom check failed When you see this error most of the times you have flashed something wrong. Or you dropped solder on your eeprom chips. 4 - bootldr - Ram check failed Your Xbox ram chips are wasted. Maybe you dropped a little solder on it (try to remove it CAREFULLY!). Note, if they are fried, removing solder won't fix them). Maybe you were static when you touched the ram chips. They are kind off sensitive. If they are, they are fried, sell your xbox for spare parts. 5 - kernel - HDD not locked (The retail xbox bioses require the hd to be locked) When you upgrade your hard disk drive for one that is larger, you most of the times use a new hard drive that you bought in the shop. Now, when you put this hdd in your xbox and you try to boot up with your chip off. It gives you error 5. Why you ask? Well i will try to explain it simple. The original (also called "Retail") hard drive is locked by MS. Why did they lock the harddrive? Well if it wasn't it wouldve been more than easy (in the start of xbox hacking) for hackers to change content on it. Thats why MS locks it. It is just a security measure. This locking proces uses information thats on the motherboard. The "Lock" on a xbox hard drive contains information that is based on the harddrive itself and the motherboard it came with. One thing that makes this clear: You can not change a retail harddrive with another one from an other not modded xbox. With every xbox there is only ONE i repeat ONE compatible harddisk drive. That is, if they are locked. If you don't mod your xbox (tsop or modchips) you can not change harddrives. Not even from another xbox. However when your xbox IS modified you can change your harddisk for almost every other harddisk (thats UNLOCKED). This means that even when your xbox is modified, you can not just put another (retail) XBOX harddisk in your xbox.
