« on: June 23, 2003, 04:04:00 PM »

alright so i have a Matrix installed, and it boots fine, but i wanna put the x2_4975_256k so i dont gotta patch games. I followed this tutorial, but when i go to flash the matrix with the new x2_4975_256k, it goes to the screen and doesnt give me the option to verify that i wanna flash and to flash it.



Flash LPC mod via EvolutionX (v0.4)
Tutorial written by : XanTium / Prodigal

What you need :

*A modchip that can be flashed via EvolutionX. Only Xodus/Matrix and X-ecuter2 can be flashed via xbox software. All other LPC mods (X-ecuter , OpenXbox/PC-BioXX , Pandora2) can NOT be flashed directly via evox.

*EvolutionX v1.8.2812 or later installed on your xbox HD

1/ Upload bios
Connect to your xbox (ftp) and go to drive "C".
Make a directory called "bios" (without the quotes) in the root. (c:/bios/)
Upload 1 or more bios/kernel versions into this directory. (max 256kb for Xodus/Matrix & 512k for Xecutor2 (per bank))

2/ Check mode
If you have a Matrix/Xodus , make sure your modchip is in mode 4 (write enabled).
If you have a Xecutor2, make sure the the Flash jumper is Off (Flash enable).

3/ Check EvolutionX .ini file
Make sure that the following line is inserted in the .ini file under [BIOS] section:

"Flash = 0xbf61,"SST - 49LF020",0x40000" for Matrix/Xodus
"Flash = 0x01d5,"XECUTER2",0x100000" for Xecutor2

If you don't, you will have the following error "Unknown Flash Type"

3/ Flash modchip
Restart your Xxbox.
In EvoX go to "System Utils" > "Flash BIOS" (standard location if you didn't change this in the evox.ini).
All bios versions uploaded in step1 will now be listed.
Select the bios you want and press "A" and then confirm your action by pressing "Y".
It will flash to your new bios/kernel in less then 5secs, and you Xbox will switch off.

4/ Put mode back
Xodus/Matrix: put mod back to mode1/2/3 , so it's write protected (modchip can't be flashed without you know it)
Xecutor2: put flash jumper back ON , so it's write protected (modchip can't be flashed without you know it)

Why you using the 4975? Surely you would want to use the 4977?

lol alright ill use the 4977 but that beside the point.... when i click the flashbios screen in evolution x it goes to that little box screen and then just never gives me the option to confirm the flash, so i can never flash it, it doesnt freeze or ntohing cause i can still go back.
