Can't Flash Cromwell, But Can Flashbios, Same Disc
« on: February 09, 2005, 07:15:00 PM »
I finally got my DUO X2 Cromwell white chip working.  I got to the Cromwell bios on bank 0 and the FlashBIOS bios on bank 1.  I made a bios disc following the tutorial on team executor's website.  I resized the 4983.06 to 512k.  The Cromwell wouldn't read the disc (TDK CD-RW High Speed) but the FlashBIOS did, and went successfully.  Any idea why?

I just did this install on a version 1.4 xbox.

The 0 bank, cromwell bank, will not flash straight from the flash disk.

I thought I had screwed sinething else up, it had been a stressing install, so I revisited the scene and did some reading.

It turns out that the 0 bank is a cromwell linux bios that will only boot a linux disk.

To flash the bios, you first have to make a Eurasia boot disk. This will boot a linux distro that is made to flash bios.

 Once you have Eurasia running all that you to do is follow the on screen instructions.

You will still need the flash disk that you created initially. It works, trust me.
