Hey guys, great site and good info, spent all night doing searches and this is where I am at:

I have an xbox 1.0, with an xecutor 2.6 CE Lite, it came with the easybuy2000 1.6 solderless adaptor. I pryed the white board off of the black thing, hooked the black thing to the board and set the d0 pin per the xbox 1.0 d0 location. I put the Xecuter on and attaced just the front panel wire to it and stuck it to the front of my xbox. Front panel is sent for Chip on, flash protect off, Bank 1. I booted it up, got the blue flash 3.0.1 screen, I was able to get to it to flash via http. I flashed it to 3.0.3 and couldnt get it to change from 3.0.1 upon boot up, I switched it to bank 2, and it booted to 3.0.3, but still wouldnt go to the normal dash board. I did some more reading, got evox M8 used a program (forgot the name) to load it into a 1mb bin file. I used that bin file to flash via http and it booted to the xbox screen with a pink EvoX triangle in the corner, so far so good I think. This is where I left off. I guess the next step is getting a dash board on so I can install my 120 gig hd and start backing up some games to the HD as well as copying some save games over. I was having problems getting a boot disk to work. I followed the instuctios on using Yurosofts xbox file to make an iso, I tried in on dvd+ and - but was not able to get it to boot. Any ideas from here on would be much appreciated, thanks a lot!!!

You have the wrong bios. M8 will work, but it is nowhere near as good as X2 5035. For installing a new drive, you best bet is to get an autoinstaller. There are two that seem to be popular, auto installer deluxe and slayer's. I believe slayers is the older of the two. I have never used either of them though, so I really can't tell you which one is better.

Thanks Fantmx, thats good info, I will look for X2 5035. As for a dashboard, is that included with X2? Any ideas on getting a proper iso to boot? Is Yurosoft Xiso still the best program?

Thanks DJB, is there a way to get my xbox to boot back to the flash 3.0.3 screen now that I screwed it up with the EvoX bios? I cant get any media to boot and I want to push the x2 5035.bin through the http flash in the original bios.

if you got a working m8 install dash use aid3 to install burn it on to a cd-rw not cd-r burn at slow speed 2x max
once you have dash installed get a app called flashx2 this will flash the x2 5035 bios to your chip make 100% you use the write one
x2 5035 for v1.0 to v1.5 xboxs
x2 5035 v16 plus for v1.6 v1.6b xboxs
you will need to put the bios in a folder called bios in to your xbox H/D you need to make this folder then ftp the bios to it then use flashx2 flash by H/D option you should have a working x2 bios

I am having a problem getting the ftp program to show up in the evox dash app list. I messed around with it some more trying to get another dash and now it only boots to the MS dash. I basically want to get that flash program on there so I can put the X2 5035 bios on, then I want a good dash that allows me to use trainers and save games along with copy my games to the HD. AID 3.0 is working fin, I guess I need some quick step by step instructions on how to get this thing rolling. It networked and ready to go, I also have the proper bio's x2 5035.bin downloaded on my computer, once again, thanks for the help!

Ok, I got x2 5035 loaded, which dash is the best for save games/trainers, and game to hd copying?

Use DVD2Xbox to copy games. I've never used a trainer so I can't help you there.
