Hi,

Ok... I bought 2.6 - hosed both banks (by basically trying to get it working...) - realised what I did and bought another chip (which is fine and dandy and sitting in my son's xbox 1.0 with a 200Gb drive thank-you-very-much :) )

However... When I installed the replacement chip - I hosed that as well and then realised that I could boot Evox from a DVD and reload the firmware onto the chip.

Roll forward a few months....

My Daughters bf has bought a new xbox (1.6), and I have installed previously hosed chip thinking - n.p., I'll boot from the evox disc... nope - doesnt recognise the disk!, plus... I can switch the mod chip on as it power cycles 3 times and then does the red/green led thing...

question is:-

How do I get the firmware onto my 2.6 modchip when I can't switch it on, and the xbox won't boot from an evox DVD ????

Answers on a postcard to: [email protected]

Cheers,

LennyMan

Do any of the modded Xboxes work? If so, boot one to flashbios, or FlashX if you don't have flashbios, unplug the working chip, and plug the bad one in. Flash a new bios to that chip. The bios you want is X2 5035. When you download that file and extract it there will be two .bin files. Use the one that says vOld for a 1.0-1.5, and the one that says v16 for a 1.6/1.6b.

Hmmm....

So let me get this straight....

With the lid off.

1. Boot the 1.0 Modded Xbox to the Evox console (it has a flash loader in it...)
2. 'Pull the chip' whilst its switched on.
3. Plug in 'hosed' chip
4. Flash it with 1.6 bios (got that sitting here and waiting....)

Yes?

Yup, but I would use FlashX for flashbios. You will have to have the switches connected as well.
