Please Help - 137gb+ Bios Update On Evox Softmod
« on: October 08, 2008, 04:29:00 PM »

The reason you're struggling to find the info you need is because you don't use a modded BIOS with a softmod - the softmod patches the MS-BIOS in memory. To solve your problem you have two basic choices:

- upgrade to a later softmod with LBA48 support (and a whole pile of other useful features). Start here.
- install a chip, or TSOP flash your Xbox with a modded BIOS.

If you stick with the softmod then yes, your stock HD will allow you to recover - as will xboxhdm and a copy of your eeprom!

Or have I misread your post, and you want to convert from your softmod into a chip/TSOP flash....?

softmodded my crystal box ages ago using the splinter cell exploit and never had any issues with putting a 250gb disk in it. As already said flashing the bios is a seperate issue!

OK ran Ndure and FTPd the new C & E drives to the XBOX and I now have my full drive space available however the screen has an awful green cast. I can see the XBMX screen but the colours has a green tinge, any ideas?

What video connection are you using? Green tint is usually associated with component connections to a VGA monitor.

Ensure the RGB option in Ndure is unselected. E:\ndts\default.xbe nkpatcher option should have it too.

.... and if there's a video.bin file in E:\NKP11\ try temporarily renaming it and rebooting.

Edit: Still typing too slowly!

unplug the dvd rom ide cable and see if you can get an error 12 or did you get the eeprom.bin backup
