I'm so lost... I've been trying for almost 4 hours now to figure this out.

Please let me tell you what I've done and maybe someone can tell me what I've done wrong....

I installed a header pin set for an Xenium modchip and put in the xenium, I've varified it works and already booted Evox with it. Then I soldered the 2 sets of points show in the picture for a 1.2+ xbox, I have a 1.4 btw.

Then I got the newest evox and extracted .xbe file into a folder with the xbe dump program and ran the command line "xbedump.exe evoxdash.xbe -font" which made an out.xbe file that i moved to another folder. Then I got the default.xbe out of the UDATE, raincoat folder and did it again, renaming that out.xbe to default.xbe and putting it back in the raincoat folder...

Then i edited the lines about raincoat into the evox.ini file...

Then I ftp'ed to the xbox and backed up C:\Fonts to my PC, and replaced the XBox.xtf the XBox Book.xtf files with the ones from bigfonts25 making sure I renamed them...

Then I put the UDATA folder from the 007savewithraincoat.zip, which now has the new .xbe file made from xbedump.exe on the E: drive....

And last but not least I put the evoxdash.xbe that was made with xbedump.exe in C:\ and also put the new ini file there.... I was sure if I was suppose to leave it named evoxdash.xbe like it came in Evox or rename it default.xbe, I tried both and both ways the xbox wouldnt boot....

I unhooked the Xenium mod after I had everything uploaded and it just said Error 16......

Can anyone maybe tell me what I did wrong?

16 is the clock loop, you need to put the xenium back in, load up, set the clock (you may have to put the original xtf files back) the disable (no not remove yet) the xenium, load up and flash, once youve confirmed the flash went well then remove the xenium

[kdogg-]

Well I got the clock set and its still not working. When I disable the modchip, the ms bios starts to load,  and you can JUST see the MS Dash start to load, the round globe thingy and before the MS Dash can load all the way the xbox resets and does it again.....


Help? =(

[kdogg-]

Ok i finally got Evox booting with the Xenium unplugged.....

It boots some screen that says like Flash Bios, Raincoat, blah blah and the eject leds flashing red but its loaded....

When I pick Flash Bios, then pick my x2 4981 bios, it says Unknown Flash Type...

Whats this error for and how do I correct it? The 2 connected sets of points have a nice health connection of solder...

[kdogg-]

Well you guys can ignore my other posts... I got it.. Ended up having to use Raincoat to flash it.

Thanks for all your help on aolim lordvader, dont think I woulda gotten it without your help =)

The Bert and Ernie Reloaded ended up doing the job... I'm not TSOP flashed with X2 4981....

Thanks again...

now i got it working.

it didnt work with the evoxdash version i was using (V3921) so i had to swap to a older version V1_8_3752 and now it launches raincoat perfect. Dont know why i used V3921 when i had V3935 on my computer.. dont even know why i tried V1_8_3752 instead of V3935.. but who cares now.. it all works now =)

so this is what i found out (chould have found this in the forums if i looked harder)
this tutorial did not work with
1: "Bert_is_Cheating_on_Ernie" font exploit
2: Evox V3921

thx for a great tutorial.. learned alot doing this... keep up the good work ppl =)


peace out

its cool man

yeah one more thing.. when i used telnet to logon to raincoat the username and password didnt work.. its case sensitive.. i was using Root and Xbox everytime hehe but that didnt work... it had to be root and xbox ... not really that importent.. just me that was trying to follow everything exactly the way u wrote it =)

so it should be..
login: root
password: xbox

im not trying to be an ass here.. just saying ... not sure what im saying
i think it took me about 20 times before i even tried root and xbox... hehe how slow can i be? =)

anyway.. thx again.. all together it only takes me 30min to do the hole lot now.. from taking the xbox apart.. puting the chip inplace.. doing your tutorial and then swaping hd and installing a dash and some apps.. and then screwing it all together again.. this is gonna save me alot of chips ... beautiful .. =)

[lordvader129]

damn, i didnt realize i capitalized those, thanks again, lol

can you do this with a xecuter 2.3b lite plus? or is this not a real lpc modchiP?

yes, all xecuters are "real" LPC modchips, lol, so the 2.3b Lite+ will work

[corn3y]

FlashKick.. i use "bigfonts25" and that workes perfect for me.. but i think u can use any font exploit apart from "Bert_is_Cheating_on_Ernie".

A little tip for u... allways use raincot when u flash your tsop... and use a 256Kb bios... if u do that u will never get any problems with wrong sized bios for the wrong tsop... raincot will allways fix the size for u... just a tip =)

why use raincoat.07 and waste more time/effort by telneting to your pc when you can just use the eurasia flash 'disc' instead? you don't have to use it as a disc but since there's no download link for the actual files instead of the iso you're going to have to rip it someway and transfer the files to your computer(unless someone put the actaul files to this online somewhere).

after that, just sign the xbe of the ripped eurasia disc with the font exploit setting with xbedump and use this instead of raincoat 07.
only downside is it's based on raincoat 05 so i'm guessing you're going to have to make sure your bios sizes are correct, but that's no problem since that's how it is with evox anyway and still less of a hassle than hooking up your xbox to your machine to flash.

lordvader, which font exploit do you recommend, im looking in *the usual places' ftp* (heh) and theres several. im curious as to which i should pick and which you used.
