From there, I used Evox to reflash my bios.  (the raw FTP commands didn't seem to work).

I'm not being an ass, but did you read his post? He has a winbond, so he can't flash with Evox...

You can customize it in a lot of way's not only the startup settings.

I don't know actually it doesn't work for using the old methode (XBoxtool that is) good to hear you will look in it i'm kind of a noob with all these things.

oh, i think i got it!
i think i got it!

open up xbtool (make sure you have the more configs, check my tutorial in that forum you love so very, very much)

bios type: multi

unpack

check convert to bfm

pack

choose where ever you saved it to when you unpacked, then in the next window choose a name for the .bin

i'll need to test it, but i think thats it

yep works with fbl rc2

good luck!

and always ahvea  fail safe or 2!

Just wrote up a more formal tutorial

here it is

I just added this in the exploits section and thought it would benefit the rest as well. This is for anyone that does not want to have to place the ind-bios.cfg file on the C: patition.

Use XBTOOL to unpack the ind-bios of your choosing. Either .06 or .67.  Once the bios is unpacked go to the folder it was unpacked into and open the xboxkrnl.img in a hex editor and search for ind-bios.cfg it will have partition information as part of the string it is in. as in Partition2\ind-bios.cfg change the partition2 to any suitable for where you want to place the .cfg file and have the bios look for it.
Here are the options.
Partiton
1 to load the .cfg from partition E:

6 to load the .cfg from partition F:

7 to load the .cfg from partition G:

Now save the edited xboxkrnl.img and repack it using XBTOOL. This can be done for both BFM versions and for chip versions.

Great Tip.

In the next release, the injector program will also be able to inject the Configuration file path to the bios. To aleviate the need to unpack, hex, repack.

Firstly, i have flashed it to my modchip using evox, all went well in that regard.

However, when i powered on the box, (after getting the usual 'LOADING IND BIOS SCREEN) the flubber is displayed (with the new camera angles i specified).

Once the flubber is finished, the green X and IND-BIOS is displayed as expected.. this is where things start to get weird...

Usually the flubber screen fades into EVOX.  It still does this, however it takes literally 30 seconds for the fade to complete.  Once it has done this, evox runs SO SLOW it is barely usable.

For example, when i press the DOWN arrow on the DPAD, it takes about 5 seconds for the scroll bar to select the next entry.  It is literally running in slow motion.

I flashed the .06 iND-BiOS version, and then all run at a normal speed!

I re-flashed the .67, and got slo motion again.  Also, when the .67 is flashed, i cannot see my G Drive.  I could previously see my G Drive using the M7 / M8 bios.

Would it be possible to modify the .06 iND-BiOS using XBTOOL to enable G Drive support?  If so, this would resolve the slow motion problems..

Any suggestions / help would appreciated.

Thanks all!

Okay.. having a little trouble with the iND-BiOS .67 version.

AKTiVE,

Could you give a little background info?

Which version of Evox are you running?

Is Evox set up to search your G drive for games/apps?

What brand and what size drive do you have?

Did you format the drive in the Xbox or using a PC?

What did you use to format (e.g. Evox, XBHDM, XBpartitioner, Xenium OS, etc)?

If it was formatted by Xbox software, what OS was running at the time?

Have you ever used XBpartitioner to write a partition table to the drive?

Have you tried using another dashboard which supports the G drive and, if so, did it work?

Dudes do you plan to go opensource? I was kinda wondering how a hacked bios is coded and stuff. kEeP uP tHe gOOD wOrK.

That would be awsome. I'm really interested in how a bios is coded .

I know this is just a beta version of the bios but it looks great I am just having two problems with it. I set it to load unleashx on my C partition but it keeps doing somthing funky where unleashx is reset back to the way it was when I first installed it. If I boot up with x4981 it loads unleashx the correct way. Any ideas why this bios is doing that?

My other problem is I cant change the "iND-BIOS" where "MS" is on the normal BIOS. I put a mslogo.bmp in my c partition and in the cfg of the bios I set it to MSLOGOTRANSEN=1. I saved it as a 8bit channel bmp so it became 24bit like they said. I even downloaded the "XBox-Scene mslogo on White BG" from xbox skins and put it in my c partition. Any have/had this problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks,
Kyle

Check your CFG, do you have Reset On Eject turned on ? off?
