XboxRecoverAladdinBadFlashUsingHotwire

This hotwire method was originally made by Marcos and later edited by ModRobert.

To do this you need good soldering skills and two Aladdin modchips, a good one besides the bad one you want to flash.

1) Solder the good Aladdin with wires to the xbox according to regular diagrams.

2) Solder wires from the bad Aladdin to the good Aladdin linking only points; 3.3V, GND and LPC pin 5 point.

3) Switch on the xbox and load Evox dashboard. Also make sure you have good bios ready to flash. If you loaded Evox dashboard from hdd the bios should be in CBios.

Please note that steps 4) and 5) have to be done with xbox power on and Evox dashboard loaded. Use extreme caution and keep your fingers/equipment away from LPC pin 5 point while xbox is on.

4) Carefully desolder the good Aladdin wires (from the good Aladdin pcb, not xbox) which are not connected to bad Aladdin, and then solder these wires to the bad Aladdin. Don't move 3.3V, GND and LPC pin 5 point because they should remain linked between good and bad aladdin.

5) When you have the bad Aladdin completely wired, go to System/Utils/Flash in Evox Dasboard and flash with a good bios.
