Backing Up Original Bios
« on: March 10, 2004, 06:49:00 PM »
How do I backup my original BIOS.  I have a V1 that I already flashed 1/2 of it with M7 and the other half is OEM.  I installed a switch on A19.  I tried raincoat but when I telnet to the xbox to type commands I could not change directories and hte XBOX did not understand a lot of commands.  Only the dir command worked.  Is there a tutorial for backing up original bios?  Could it be the telnet of my laptop?  When I telnet it never ask for a user and a password but it sees the files on the C drive.  Any help?

To back up using evox;
1. boot your modded bios, and load evox
2. flip the switch back to the unmodded side
3. select backup in evox

this saves your original bios to your xbox harddrive in c:\backup

To back up using raincoat;
Use raincaot in the normal way, but type ./raincoat -r orig.bin (stil doing the switch boot trick in your case)
Raincoat places the backed up bios in the save game folder.

I did it with EvoX but could not get it to work with raincoat.  I have raincoat v0.5.  I ftp the raincoat folder to the C drive (on root) using FlashFXP.  Then I disconnect everything to start from scratch again.  I open a command prompt and type telnet IP_Address.  The xbox did not ask for a user or password but it connect to the it (I could use the dir command and see what is on drive).  I tried to change to the raincoat directory but it did not recognize the cd command (to change directories).  So I could not use the raincoat command from the raincoat folder.  I am using win XP.  What am I doing wrong?  It did not recognize any of hte DOS command exept the dir command.  Any help?
