Use the search the same question was asked about a week maybe twoo weeks ago. If you can't use the normal search try Google with the ''site: '' command.

to answer your question rather then everyone else just sending you away ..

Yes you can change a regular bios to a bfm you need to use a tool like evtool
only use a bios that is supported by the program.

as far as i know there is not a BFM version of the new bios X2 out.. but maybe someone will tell me wrong and i can update my bios!

yes there are

i maked one (and others guys too) , but it not work on focus chip.

I'd like to anderstand why ? I used xbtool (XBtool_1.0.18.b3) and tried to modify in BFM the new x2 5032. I used the 2bl.img of the x2 4981BFM found on xbins.
I tried my BFM on a chip focus with the PBL 1.4.1. Results : troubleshooting on the screen (I can see my dash but with big artefacts)

I didn't change any offsets or address in the configuration file for xbflash (debug.ini, bfm.ini and multi.ini).

have you any idea??
thanks a lot for your work guys !!

I have made a X2 5032 BFM for versions 1.0-1.5, but I could not for the ver1.6. I did this using a tuturial found by searching google for 'how to make BFM bios", or just try this link: http://forums.xbox-s...howtopic=246395

The tutorial says to use XBtool, and I did, but I couln't load the ver1.6 bios. I'm not sure why though. Maybe someone can help me out here too! It should work fine with the 1.0-1.5 bios version.
