I RECOMMEND THIS PROGRAM TO ALL NEWBIES IF THEY PLAN TO INSTALL A NEW HDD INTO THEIR XBOXES! IT MAKES THE PROCEDURES SHORTER SO YOU CAN GET ON WITH YOUR LIFE!
1.install new hdd.
2. boot up evolution x(i booted with memorex in a thomson dvd drive(that's right!!! i booted a cdrw successfully! i dont feel bad at all for owning a thomson dvd drive))
3. upgrade retail/upgrade the hdd
4. after updating the new hdd, take out boot cd and bam! there you have it! evox 1.8.38235 is installed into the new hdd with xbcopy,boxplorer, dvd media player, and more!

What's the ETA on ver. 2.0?

A few days....
The scripting is done and is being tested now, however I am still working on some graphics..


Also, if I see any more pathetic posts or PM's asking for it and saying they cannot find it, I will make sure no one will get it and I will NEVER release anything again or provide support it.

People HAVE to understand that it is against the forum rules to ask for links to software.  As simple as that.  I do not want the topic deleted by a moderator because people asked for or posted links!

The purpose of the forum is to discuss the toolkit, not hand it to users on a platter.  If people are not capable of finding it on their own, then they should not be using it as it will probably destroy their xbox and they will be back here 10 minutes later crying and saying they "forgot" to make a backup.

Please do not get me wrong a0lsux, nothing against you, you just asked when it's coming out. I'm, just fed up with nobody bothering to read anything.

1wolf1,

Here are a couple more ROM lines for the x2 colored Bios.

ROM = "X2 4974",0x24bff933c4ee6178040ab4b4daf6c6a8
ROM = "X2 4974 Blue",0xaa5fe4306525b8e951fbe0069022572e
ROM = "X2 4974 Red",0x0c6084c2fdec4f76e3f9aeedcec978e3

[vyan28]

so you want the evolution 1.8.3825?

tell me how you installed your slayers evox

booting is not installing. Booting is booting. For me, i first installed my new 80hd, booted up evo x cd, chose the retail hdd option, wait for it to finish, and then restarted.Then booted the evolution 1.8.3825 WITHOUT THE CD, meaning that it's fully installed.

if you want to keep the original hdd, i dont know how to configure that. But if you plan to install a new hdd, then follow my steps.

Hi All!
Ive read this entire thread and havent seen this exactly confirmed ( dccd's post came close however)

I have a UK XBOX v1 with Xecuter1.1 modchip. Its currently runnning EvoX dashboard and standard hdd, onto which i have ftp'ed a few backups.

From the Xbox-scene mod chip comparison page, it says that my Xecuter v1.1 will not support upgrading the HDD...

My question is this:
Does Slayers toolkit get around this by allowing me to flash the Xbox retail bios with an EvoX bios, hence allowing upgraded HDD to work?

If so do i then "disable" my Xecuter chip?

Thanks in advance,

mgf909

I tried that and it didn't work for me.  I just wont got another modchip like X2lite.

1wolf1, How about adding this to the evox.ini file so we can flash out chip bios. Item "Flash BIOS",@1 This was the one piece to the puzzle I was missing. Thanks, Netman

Already done in v2.0 coming out soon....

Is this the same app/tool as this one? http://www.goldberg-...xdownloads.html

No, simmilar functionality (at least in v1.5) but a lot easier to use than the one you reference.
Version 2.0 has a LOT more functionality and supports both v1.0 and v1.1 xboxes.  It will be out soon...

NO, the backup of your retail HD is to protect you in case you get errors after using the SlaYer Installer.  My installer contains ALL the files needed to build a HD from scratch, however there are a lot of different versions of xboxes and not all all identical.  As such I cannot cover them all.  Having a backup will allow you to restore your original M$ Dashbaord for example if you get error 21 after the install.

Also, all your save game progress data resides in E: so I am sure you'd want that backed up.

Lastly, once you remove the retail HD from the XBOX you cannot access it in a PC unless you unlock it first.  and even then you willl have to reformat it as it is incompatible with PC Operating Systems.  So you MUST use FTP to get your adata out first.

PLEASE read all the posts in this thread BEFORE attempting to use the installer.  Almost all possible issues have been covered already.  Good Luck!

There are several tutorials on flashing the on board bios of your XBOX, called a TSOP, but they require you to bridge 2 points on the motherbaord, one in the back and one on top.  This is not for the faint of heart  

The Xecuter 1.0 or 1.1 however are LPC mods and do not allow you access to the TSOP so you can flash it.  Best bet is to get a BioXX or X2Lite, since both can be programmed v easy.

Personally I found the BioXX easier to use.

I have been searching on google, irc, and kazaa forever for a link to this file. I can't find any free newgroups that contain the files. If anyone could IM me (awbassett1) or email me - [email protected] w/ a link to a dl that works or a free newsgroup that supports the alt.binaries.*** that has the files I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Thanks 1wolf1,
what I asking is that if my install didn't went well, can I put my original HD back to get every thing back to normal???
