Changing your bios may cause your XBOX to not boot any more. Note you will not be able to use this method if you intend to persist with an X2 Circled in the picture is where you set your custom boot path for your bios The diagram is for XBTool but EVTool is almost identical in interface and execution. Then save the bios with the edited boot-path you can also edit the 2nd and 3rd boot sequences- they will only load if there is no.

First of all you will need to know what size of bios your mod-chip takes. Having a bootdisk in this situation will not help you! Once the bios has been correctly sized and saved, choose the method of flashing your bios. Older modchips will need to be flashed from the Xbox- Apps like XFlash and the EvoX dash both have the options to do this you will need to ftp the edited bios over to their default bios directories.

Newer mod-chip owners may be able to flash their bios externally via their pc using their Modchip Manufacturer's software and either a parallel or USB cable to connect to their mod-chip.

Don't forget to backup any files on C: if you plan to overwrite them! Below, are the bios boot sequences for the most widely used modded bioses that people use to run Xbox Backups and Home-brew Applications. Each bios will have one or more. The numbers by the side of the different. For example for x2 , on startup, the bios will look to launch evoxdash. If it is there then the. If there is no evoxdash. So once you've found out which bios you have your current dash should be able to tell you this information , use the chart to work out what you should rename XBMC's default.

Did the typical soft mod through Mechassault and installed the Unleashx dashboard. Then I copied the file contents from the second XBMC folder the one that wasn't running, of course to the dashboard folder and boom success.

I believe it works because it appears that all typical xbox apps are named 'default. That will only be needed if you loose power during the file copying process not that ruining your xbox is a sure thing but it is nice to have a back up none the less. Also if you have any questions about this or anything pertaining to xbmc for the xbox just let me know and i will clarify as i have already done everything you can for xbmc for xbox and have encountered problems and fixed them.

Don't hold me responsible if you mess your xbox up. That being said lets do this. It is the build i used for this instructable. It is in a. Only the files inside the folder will be used. The folder contains all the files that will make your xbox into a fully updated xbmc.

You should already know how to ftp into your xbox but if you don't the host is your xbox's ip address, the user name is xbox the password is also xbox and the port is That's all that is needed so turn your xbox off turn it back on again and it will boot up to the current xbmc build.

Now if you accidentally get a Red Ring of Death and your xbox will no longer boot into anything and tells you that it needs service dont worry. If you have a mod chip installed then you know more about your particular system than i do and im sure you know how to fix this. If you used a softmod on your xbox then youll be fine. All you need to do is stick the game in that you used to mod you xbox, in my case it was the splinter cell game, and get back into your softmod install menu.

From there you can FTP back into your xbox hard drive and re transfer the dashboard files. Of course the rrod fix is only for this type of problem and would not work for other RRoD causes.
