What version xbox do you have?
I think the X2-4973 bios only supported up to v1.1, and if you bought yours recently you probably have a v1.4/1.5.
You need the X2-4979 bios.

Also, 'Evox 3935' is a dashboard, not a bios. And I don't think that color combination you described when booting your console is right (however, if the tray ejects it could be OK).

Thanks for the reply I Assume it's version 1.4-1.5 i just bought it last week from EB althought it was man. in  aug.
The boot colors are I turn it on with the chip enabled it is green  the button on the xbox goes red fast then a orange color then green which flashes 3
times then the dvd tray opens.  if i disable the modchip the light on it is red and the xbox light is steady green and the ms bios opens up .  hopes this helps  I have tried everything I am to the point I almost think this chip has no bios on it.

this may sound stupid, but when you burned the files did you first create a xiso?  I was brilliant enough to just burn the files to a cd and expect the xbox to read.... not ;)

Well if you have a 1.4 or 1.5 xbox then you won't get video because the 1.4-1.5 xbox's changed the video controller and the cromwell flashing bios doesn't recognize the video controller so the screen is blank. You need to get the latest bios X2 4979.67 or the EvolutionX bios M7 and make it a 1mb file and burn it to a cd as the tutorial says (with the dummy file(s)).
