my friend ordered a pre-modded xbox v1.6 with the xecuter 2.6 lite ce installed. this is actually the 2nd chip that i'm attemping to flash...i sent the file over for a x3 chip and fried the last one by mistake, so you can imagine how nervous i am right now. i now have this file to flash the xbox with: evolutionx m8 bios_v1.6 unzipped it reads: m8_16.bin the file size is 256K the program that comes up when i power the xbox on with the chip on is flashbios v3.01 is this the proper file that i want to send over? i'm really nervous about frying this chip out too, so i would greatly appreciate it if someone can help me through this nightmare
follow this guide. 2.6 chips are a bit tricky to flash. i would write it out for you, but i would probably just confuse you....so just follow this guide: http://forums.xbox-scene.com/index.php?showtopic=351619 just a note: i would use the m8plus bios.
i just got the M8plus_16.bin file which is also 256K i was reading the tutorial and it looks like the file stays at the 256K size once i save it cause he didn't specify to change the size to 1MB before saving. if i send this over the way it is, what will happen?
use biosmanager and put Flashbios 3.0.1 on banks 1 and 2(that = 512k), and put m8plus on banks 3 and 4(that = 512k)...so you have 512k + 512k = 1mb...save the new bios you just created. you must do it as the guide says, if you don't the chip will not work...you will also have to boot the chip from bank 2...for some reason on 1.6 xbox's flashing a 1mb bios is the only way to get it to work follow the guide otherwise you will never get the bios to work properly.
i got it working. it's funny how simple things can get confusing sometimes =Þ i appreciate your help bud!
