Okay, I've modded two xboxes before versions 1.0 and 1.1 about a year and a half ago, so I figured modding this xbox (a 1.0) would be just as easy as the others were.
Well this is the problem, I'm using an xecuter 2.6 CE on this 1.0 xbox and the installation went just fine. I installed it using the xapter solderless install. The blue light turns on and the green light turns on as well on the switch. The install worked fine.
The problem is the bios flashing. I had it on bank 1, flash off, and chip enable on and it loaded up the cromwell flashbios 3.0.3. I went with the flashing through HTTP method just because it seemed faster. I typed in the network IP the xbox gave me and it brought me to the flashing page. I flashed it with the "evox v2.6 - v1.0.bin" (256k) and it turned off like it is supposed to. I then tried turning it on and it didn't work, just restarted 3 times then stayed on flashing green/red (fragged). So I switched to bank 2 and flashed it with the flashbios again to redo the flash. I switched to bank 1 and the flashbios loaded up again just fine. I then flashed it with the "xecuter2_4978.3_xboxMulti_512k.bin" it then turned off like supposed to. I turned it on right after and it booted to the xbox dashboard, so with the flash working I wanted to go back to the flashbios and put the evox bios in to install evolution x.
This is where everything went to hell. I flashed it with the flashbios and now I can't start the xbox with the chip on bank 1, it just turns on, restarts 3 times and frags. And then the problem evolved. Switching back to bank 2 I can no longer connect to it through my computer with the HTTP method, it just times out (the page won't load but my internet is fine). Now, when I go to the HTTP method, I'm not even given an IP address for the xbox.
Okay, so what do I do now?
I can summarize some questions.
1. Which bios then should I use for evoX? - I used the m8 256k from xbins but it failed to work.
2. With the chip now on bank 1, it doesn't start up, it just reboots 3 times and then frags. I can also no longer flash the flashbios on bank 2 to restart this whole process. What can I do?
3. Does anyone know why I can't connect via HTTP anymore? it just times out.
