It's me again, that's what i found this morning on the evox forum (now gone) about flashing the onboard BIOS.
Will be really useful for someone that has the ST bios chip.
I hope that someone can help me to flash the HYUNDAY chip........
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've read, and read, and read, and read. I've just done it, with bits and pieces of info from all over the net, and lots of help from the forums here.
I had an enigmah-x final installed working great. I really wanted to upgrade the hd, but I haven't gotten to that yet. Just wanted to let you guys know that upgrading the onboard bios on the xbox works.
This is all I did.
First, if you haven't done it. You will need to mod the motherboard to allow for the onboard bios flash. It's pretty simple, 2 jumpers. Go here
http://xboxtechinfo.com/visor/ There are 2 pictures there. First one is the top of the board where you need to jumper. Second picture is the bottom of the board, where you need to jumper. Thats it, very simple. Now put your xbox back together with mod still attached ofcourse.
Boot from your mod'd xbox. Install the dashboard to the hard drive, if you haven't done so already. I suggest having the dashboard installed to the hd not booting from the cd. I'm not sure how that will work, if at all.
Once booted, all I did was disconnect my enigmah-x all together, cut every single wire. I would do one at a time, since cutting more than one at a time can give you short, and thats not good.
I already had my ftp session going while doing this, so I'm not sure if you connect ur xbox to the network after boot, will work. So I suggest having your xbox connected to your network when you start it up.
On the evolution x screen, go to sys utils, then choose flash bios. Don't worry if nothing happens, it's not supposed to show or do anything until you execute the command via ftp. Just let it sit there and continue.
I transfered the EvolutionX V2.2.bin image to the root of c drive on the xbox. WARNING!!! Make sure you are in the same dir as the bios image before you execute the raw command next, otherwise your xbox might freeze cause it can not find the bios file because your obviously in the wrong DIR! Use the raw command function in flashfxp to execute the following command....
flashbios EvolutionX V2.2.bin
Now, again I'm not sure if case sensitive will matter here, this is what worked for me. If your file name you transfered is all lower, then type the name in all lower case just to be sure. Hit the OK button, and look at your tv now. The once idle screen, should be saying that it's flashing the bios, and show you a bar with progress.
If it's not moving, then reboot the system.
A little more info, I have an ST bios chip, I have seen from [)eacon]ndigo's post, the hyndai bios requires a tweak of a file. Check it out under this post.

Anyways after the bios update was complete, the message I received on the tv was the xbox was going to reset. When it did, sure as shit, it worked, the evo x screen came back up, was able to play the games already on my hard drive, and also boot up from dvdr games with no problems, and I'm staring at my enigmah-x that was now sitting in my hand, and I just had to say this is so fucking cool.
Thanks to everyone out there that has posted so much great information, and lucky this worked for me on the first try. I really didn't feel like resoldering my enigmah-x back in after just putting it in a few weeks ago.
