Method of entering recovery mode: Used Option in menu
What Happend after flash: Manually turned XBox off.

I was being real careful when I did this, (didn't want to mess anything up). But followed the .pdf and everything is working great. even my IGR, but you have to boot to evox3935 before you load the game to get igr to work. if you didn't know.

All depends on your setup/bios your using

Shit, man I am so frustrated, now only can I not get the updte to work(i should probably try it on a cd-rw) but, every time I choose the Executer bios, it boots to regular M.S. dash even though when the big X comes up it says ececuter2 soo...even when I burn the avalaunch dashboard, ISO and put the disc in, then boot the executer bios it stilkl comes up with regular M.S. dash...no file manager, so now how am I supposed to FTP??? by the way I am using executer 4981


I have a 1.4

Dude, your problem is not with the chip, it's that you need to do read some more tutorials!

From what you posted, it sounds like your chip is working fine, it's just that you don't know how to load a replacement dashboard.

If you used 4981 with it's defaults, then the only way to boot your box is with a bootable CD.  Whether you use evox or avalaunch, the xbe file will need to be renamed to default.xbe.

You would be best off using Slayer's Auto installer to get you started, and then READ THE TUTORIALS to figure out how to configure it the way that you want to.

When will people learn that the modchip bios and the dashboard are completely separate??? People who can't even grasp this simple concept shouldn't be allowed to go near there box until they do.  Perhaps everyone should take an exam online before being allowed to buy a chip

ok...

1.5
menu selected
flashed from hd (leak) then cd (official)
Auto rebooted after 30 seconds
It works better than ever!

that "ececuter2" (sic) under the X refers to your BIOS, has nothing to do with yur dash

Xbox Version: v1.1
Method Of Saving Upgrade: Onto E: Drive
Method of entering recovery mode: Hard recovery using E (I have E connected to power switch and power on holding button)
What Happend after flash: Xbox stuck on Safe mode screen - powered off manually after several minutes.
Success?: Yes.

Xbox Version: v1.0
Method Of Saving Upgrade: Onto E: Drive
Method of entering recovery mode: Used Option in menu
What Happend after flash: Xbox Turned Off
Success?: Yes.


I have experimented and it seems that if I start Xbox in recovery mode using the power-on method and E, the upgrade doesn't power off the Xbox, but it still works.

I prefer connecting E wire to the power switch instead of the Eject switch because I had problems with XeniumOS v1.0 and it screwing up when pressing eject (ie. load original bios, eject and insert original... hangs on xbox logo). I don't know if this is fixed in XeniumOS v1.1.

[running_wild]

Hrm, well so far this is making no sence, people with exactly the same conditions are having mixed results....

Any one tried using the switch in the xbox?

[Master-Chief]

What happens if the upgrade fails? Can you still recover?
