What Are The Retail Bios For My Xbox?
« on: April 09, 2005, 04:56:00 PM »

Yeah  so as the topic says, "What are the retail bios for my xbox?"
I go to the system information thing in the MS dash and i get this
K:1.00.4980.06
D:1.00.4920.01
So what exactly does those 2 sets of numbers mean? i was reading a kernal post or sumthing like that and it said to look for the kernal ###s at the system info and match them up with the correct bios. but i didnt see any 4980 or 4920 as kernals for any xbox version. Can any1 Help me out plz? IT WIL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
 P.S. if you happen to have the correct bios file laying around send it to me through AIM my AIM name is AVBlueMan.

HAHA. THE K AND THE D NUMBERS ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT AND THEY HAVE NO REVELANCE TO EACH OTHER. THE K MEANS THE KERNELS VERSION NUMBER IN THE BIOS IN THE XBOX. THE D IS THE DASHBOARDS VERSION NUMBER SO BASICALLY IT MEANS U HAVE A STOCK BIOS 4980 WITH NO LOGICAL BLOCK ADDRESS "LBA48" SUPPORT <

According to the xbox version detector i just ran on my xbox i have a version 1.1 which means i need either 4817 or 4972 bios. ive got the 4817_bfm bios from xbins and i was wondering if i could use these to flash, if not then can sum1 explain the process of making a boot disc? ive seen the tuts. but they are comfusing.
