Which BIOS is the best to flash the TSOP to so I would maybe not have to reflash later on? On the BIOS's thats released are they basicly the only versions thats gonna come out unless a newer version of Xbox comes?

The bios updates are generally new "features". There hasn't been a requirement to upgrade in quite some time.

I personally recommend X2_4983 or EvoX M8  

[tripleXXtreme]

so use 4983 for any version? I thought M8 was version 1.6 only? Maybe I was told wrong. Which is most prefered?

There are two versions of M8.  One (m8.bin) is for 1.0 - 1.5 machines.  The other (m8_16.bin) is for 1.6 machines only.

I prefer M8 as the EvoX BIOSes tend to only be officially released once they're stable, in other words M9 won't be out three days later due to unfixed bugs.  Also, Px HDD Loader behaves properly under EvoX BIOSes - when using X2 BIOSes it misreports the partitions (games disappear from partition 1, partition 7 appears even when there is no partition 7, etc.)

Various bits and bobs can be tweaked on the M8 BIOSes  by running them through Nightshd's EVtool.

So M8.bin can be TSOP'ed for sure on 1.0-1.5? Any other opinions?

yea what feflicker said 4983

your gonna have a never ending and always continuing discussion on who likes what bios and dash..

its like having a post on chevy better then ford better then dodge etc. america... the land of choice.



btw chevy is better

The xecuter bioses are far better than evox bioses imo.  They block live, have more features, and are more stable.

curious once I used say 007 to flash it the first time is there a easier way to flash it without having to load 007,transfering BIOS's/save,telneting,ect? Can it be done by just using Evox CD(flash onboard TSOP option)?

 yeah, evox cd works fine (or you can flash from evox on teh HD too)

th eonly reason you use 007 the first time is because you need a way to load homebrew code on the retail bios

it will not boot into the evox cd unless the chip is already flashed   the origianl ms bios does not look for evox.ini  thats basically what the flash is for.

so to awnser you ?
you have to use a exploiut the first time to get it to boot to evox so you can flash

[africamagical]

well, i asked about that since i had a softmod installed onmy box first, but most ppl told me just to use raincoat anyway, they claimed evox wasnt as reliable.

[tristan20]

how do i flash with an evox cd? where do i put the bios?
