Just make sure it's BFM and _16plus type X2 bios they should be on Xbins bios folder in a BFM folder. You have to replace bios.bin on your E drive I think with the BFM one might be wrong so be carefull!

Considering you would have to use an old (=<4983) X2 bios, here's really no advantage to changing your softmod from EvoX M8 -> X2. The new X2 50xx series is not available in BFM (Boot From Media) format, so unless you can figure a way to do that on your own you're up a creek. In any event, the only reason I see for wanting to switch to X2 is the Xbox Live blocking, and if you're running the "metoo" version of M8 already (this is packaged with a lot of exploits) you already have it. It's not worth screwing your softmod up and having to redo it.

Yes I believe the bios that UXE installs for hard-drive softmods does.. but I don't really like to push my luck so I try and avoid clicking the XBL tabs anyway. If you've flashed your TSOP, it may be a different story - I'm not sure exactly what you've done.
