Hi there, i just flashed my X2.6 with the 5035 bios using FlashX.. it all went smoothly.. the xbox boots up fine.. but in the dash (i have slayers evox 2.6 installed) is says that the bios is unknown.. any idea how i can get it to recognise what bios i have?? i moved the 5035 ini into the right drive.. im kinda knew at this so in other words, what have i done wrong?

you need to add the correct MD5 hash to Evox.ini

Code: 
Rom = "X2 5031 vOLD",0x7007ccc64406042f16c5b2dc7e9c7b9d
Rom = "X2 5031 v16plus",0xa2a865546ea405f4d3b6448625d306f5
Rom = "X2 5030 vOLD BETA",0x743c91661b379287727398156766307f
Rom = "X2 5030 v16plus BETA",0x2116c9d7344a767f83f06e830472b4c9
Rom = "X2 5029 vOLD INTERNAL",0xe07ffa14f5dc7ae77aa3c69111b4df69
Rom = "X2 5029 v16plus INTERNAL",0x6be391987f3b4637d7d9083d1ad5fd54
Rom = "X2 5028 vOLD",0xc54e0d7ebc13a3f867f82d61a36d679a
Rom = "X2 5028 v16plus",0x2a6e5003839f7a8716296d6b1a78b78e
Rom = "X2 5032 vOld",0xe515174a246c0940a5e06ebc9509c102
Rom = "X2 5032 v16plus",0x2a13311c0f68a46f8d5eb8b7cf8e4ca0
Rom = "X2 5035 vOLD",0x7bd5649c0742d37f5fd1330ee3b5ec88
Rom = "X2 5035 v16plus",0xaf787791bec38df20b286a94f7bf6356

And to save you the time when 5036, 5037, or whatever the next version is, there is an easy way to get EvoX to recognize your BIOS. Once you've run EvoX on the new "unknown" BIOS you will have a new entry in the ini marked "Current." (this might require a restart before the ini update gets written.) This is the hash of the first 256K of the BIOS. Take this string and make a "Rom =" entry in the ini with the new BIOS name and the hash from current. I'd suggest using the naming pattern Klutsh listed above. On next restart of EvoX you should have the name you specified inidcated in the dash.

I have this same problem, my dashboard is showing the BIOS as Unknown. I've added the MD5 lines above to my evox.ini and rebooted and it still shows as unknown.

This is my original evox.ini
