    Made a disc CD-RW with bios.bin (1024) and a dummyfile. I start my xbox, the light turns orange, then green and the trey opens. I pop the CD-RW in and nothing happens. What to do?
    (Burned the CD-RW as a normal Datacd. Do I have to make it bootable?)

    You might try a DVD-/+RW and or make a xiso image of the files then burn that iso but I do not flash my bios this way so I could be wrong. I do know that when installing my evox on most xbox systems they don’t like cd-r/rw but like dvd+rw or dvd-rw, it depends on the type of drive you have.

    2.Get 4979 or 4980
    3.Ftp flashx to your apss folder on xbox
    4.Make sure 4979 is a 1 meg bios(use a bios manger to make it bigger) and name it bios.bin.
    5.Ftp the bios.bin to a bios folder on your c: on xbox
    6.Run flashx from xbox, follow the instruction to flash it with the bios.bin in your c:
