Bios Update With Slayer
« on: October 08, 2004, 05:01:00 AM »
You will need to use the raincoat package to flash your TSOP.  EvolutionX will not be able to so it.  

You'll have to load eveolutionX (or slayers) FTP in and copy the raincoat savegame to your UDATA folder, then make a link in EvoX to run it.

Sowie I'm totally new to these things. Can you please explain how well I go about doing that or could you please direct me to a tutorial?

Oh I have looked through a few tutorial on the site and I’m just curious about is why do you need a game to flash you bios 007 AUF??

thkx

Sounds like you paid the guy for something. You paid for his knowledge to do it now you have to do what he did learn. Read a tutorial.

Even if he didn't put a chip in your are now getting his work for free.

Do a search

If you don't have a mod chip and you can play backups and boot slayers boot disc then your TSOP has allready been flashed and you DON'T need to use the raincote trick.  All you have to do is boot with evox or slayer or any of those dashboards that have the capability of flashing and yes its completely safe to flash it as long as your sure its a 256k bios.  Check the version of your xbox and check the tsop flashin tutorial to find out what size bios you need to use.  

But to sum it up, once your tsop has been flashed, you don't have to use the raincoat trick anymore to do it.  You do it just the same as if you had a mod chip.

Kewl thnkx for the info..now I got a few more questions?


1. What happen if the flash fail or sumthing went wrong is that mean is the end of my XBOX or can it still be brought back from the dead...said maybe a modchip??

2. Only recently I have discover that my MS Dash won't load anymore so I decide to reformat the hdd and give it a clean installation with BigF option from Slayer

I check out the avilable BIOS for the BigF...

5b2) Flash MOD or v1.0-1.5 TSOP w/EvoX-M8 *FC* F:   (F:/C:/ booting Bios +>137GB BigF)
5b6) Flash MOD or v1.0-1.5 TSOP w/X2-4981.06 EVX *FC* F:&G:   (F:/C:/ booting Bios +>137GB BigF)
5b7) Flash MOD or v1.0-1.5 TSOP w/X2-4981.06 AVA *FC* F:&G:   (F:/C:/ booting Bios +>137GB BigF + Avalaunch Dash)
5b11) Flash MOD or v1.0-1.5 TSOP w/X2-4983.06 OFFICIAL   (C: booting Bios +>137GB BigF)

3. Is EvoX-M8 beta than X2?

4. Wats the different between the X2 official and non official BIOS, in terms of features is there any difference??

5. (5b7) BIOS+ AVA is that mean it will use Avalaunch as the default dashboard or will I still be able to use EvoX Dash?

thnkx in advance

Not to sound like a jerk BUT you knew someone that took the time to learn how to do what you want. You were happy at one time with your Xbox correct? Now you learn you don't have a mod chip but a mod chip doesn't do anything a TSOP flash won't do as well. So it really sounds like your pissed because someone made some money off you. Well nothing in life is free and knowledge is money. Be thankful you have a place like xbox-scene and take the time to read some tutorials. Someone here put some effort into them. So read them then ask questions.

Happy?? Hmm...well that depends, I mean I was excited until I got my XBOX back from the dude I immediately open it up and check it. That moment I wasn't happy at all...

Pissed coz I rip?? Well I believe customer service is important and if you promise a customer 1 thing and do the other without them knowing to gain more profile is being dishonest and greedy.

xokia I have nothing against you or ur opinion and I absolutely agreed with u that nothing in life is free and knowledge is money. But if you brought something that you agreed on and it turns out 2 be the opposite wouldn’t you be complaining as well?

Anyway thnkx you for ur advice I will certainly do more reading and research b4 I post next time so I don't sound like a total noob.

What are you expecting or wanting your mod chip to do that your TSOP flash doesn't already do?

I'm no expert here but from what I have read you can do a 29 wire mod to fix a failed flash attempt. A mod chip will also fix this. It wont fix your TSOP but will bypass it. So if you ever took the mod chip off your box is still hosed. With the 29 wire mod you can reflash your TSOP.


You can not flash your TSOP from Slayers , (at least I haven't found anything supporting the opposite).

I like X2 bioses because it has IGR built in.

Is not about whether a modchip or s TSOP flash can or can not do, is about getting what you PAID for.

If you go to a restaurant and order...I don’t know a plate of Fried Rice Noodle and they gave you a bow of instant noodle instead. Sure it will make you full but that is not wat you wanted is it?

Would you still eat those noodles then mention that it's not what you paid for?
In other words did you have the original guy restore your xbox to normal. Or are you still using your xbox with the TSOP flashed? I am not saying what he did was right. He should have bought you a mod chip and reflashed you TSOP with the factory bios.

I am assuming you screwed your TSOP up so then no you can not flash with Slayers. You also cannot flash a stock xbox with Slayers. As far as flashing it with slayers after you have a successful flash, I don't know I have never tried. I'm no expert.

You can't flash the TSOP of an xbox bought straight from the shop, BUT if you or someone else has ALREADY flashed the xbox and the contact points are still briged then you can RE-FLASH you TSOP with a different Bios using SLAYERS.
