Whats A Hotswap?

Yes.

Boot the Xbox with a working modchip, then remove the chip and replace it with the other modchip that you want to flash.

Whats A Hotswap?
« Reply #1 on: December 27, 2003, 06:07:00 PM »
tried that, but it was unsuccessful

is it bacause they are different chips?

the one that works started off with cromwell 1.8 on it, and the one thats broken that i hotswapped in is a cromwell 2.27...

so they are both chameleons, but come pre-flashed with a different bios... are they possible to hotswap? to me, it doesnt seem like it becuz it just freezes when inserting the cdrw...

No, you don't use a hotswap flash on chips with the Cromwell BIOS.  That's the whole point of having a Cromwell BIOS, all you need to do is burn a BIOS CD.

To do a hotswap flash, you need a modchip that will boot into EvoX, then you swap the chips and use the EvoX Flash BIOS function.
