<dmp> [23:40] <dmp> in a dos box:
<dmp> [23:40] <dmp> ping 192.168.0.3
<dmp> [23:40] <dmp> if that doesnt work, try 192.168.0.2, or 192.168.0.10
<dmp> [23:41] <patterson> Okay, 192.168.0.10 worked.
<dmp> [23:41] <dmp> now, google for 'putty' and go there, download putty, and it's brother, pscp
<dmp> [23:41] <patterson> k
<dmp> [23:42] <patterson> I now have both.
<dmp> [23:43] <dmp> cool
<dmp> [23:43] <dmp> run putty
<dmp> [23:43] <dmp> type in the ip address, and click connect
<dmp> [23:43] <patterson> login as:
<dmp> [23:43] <patterson> ?
<dmp> [23:43] <dmp> root
<dmp> [23:43] <dmp> password of xbox
<dmp> [23:44] <patterson> Access Denies
<dmp> [23:44] <patterson> denied
<dmp> [23:44] <dmp> try password of xebian
<dmp> [23:44] <dmp> be aware these are case sensitive
<dmp> [23:44] <dmp> btw.
<dmp> [23:44] <patterson> now it says "xebian:~#"
<dmp> [23:44] <dmp> good.
<dmp> [23:45] <dmp> type raincoat -r orig.bin
<dmp> [23:45] <dmp> and see if it reads the existing bios ok
<dmp> [23:45] <patterson> DETECTED: Hynix - HY29F080 (1024K)
<dmp> [23:46] <patterson> now it says "xebian:~#"
<dmp> [23:47] <dmp> good.
<dmp> [23:47] <dmp> ok, now, make a directory on your PC's hdd
<dmp> [23:47] <dmp> C:\xboxcrap
<dmp> [23:47] <dmp> for example
<dmp> [23:47] <patterson> k
<dmp> [23:47] <dmp> put the bios image in it, as well as the pscp program
<dmp> [23:47] <patterson> k
<dmp> [23:47] <patterson> did that
<dmp> [23:48] <dmp> open a dos box on your pc
<dmp> [23:48] <dmp> cd into that directory
<dmp> [23:48] <patterson> k, did that
<dmp> [23:48] <dmp> type:
<dmp> [23:49] <dmp> pscp whateverthebiosfilenameis
[email protected]:/tmp
<dmp> [23:49] <dmp> it will ask you for the password
<dmp> [23:49] <dmp> feed it xebian when it asks
<dmp> [23:50] <patterson> okay, it did a few things then said 100% and brought me back to C:\xboxcrap
<dmp> [23:50] <patterson> it appears to have been uploaded i suppose
<dmp> [23:50] <dmp> good
<dmp> [23:50] <dmp> now, in your putty window, type:
<dmp> [23:50] <dmp> ls -lrt /tmp
<dmp> [23:50] <dmp> does the last line show the filename of the bios image you uploaded
<dmp> [23:51] <dmp> oh, and make sure the bios file is 1MB big
<dmp> [23:51] <patterson> yes, bios. bin
<dmp> [23:51] <dmp> if it's only 256k, tell me now!
<dmp> [23:51] <patterson> No, it is 1 meg.
<dmp> [23:51] <patterson>
<dmp> [23:51] <dmp> now, deep breath then.
<dmp> [23:51] <patterson> k
<dmp> [23:51] <dmp> raincoat -p /tmp/whateveritsnameis
<dmp> [23:52] <patterson> it's erasing!!!!
<dmp> [23:52] <patterson> its programming
<dmp> [23:52] <patterson> Completed
<dmp> [23:52] <patterson> SO I should restart the xbox now huh?
<dmp> [23:52] <dmp> one more thing.
<dmp> [23:52] <patterson> k
<dmp> [23:53] <dmp> raincoat -r newbios.bin
<dmp> [23:53] <dmp> when that completes, run:
<dmp> [23:53] <dmp> diff newbios.bin /tmp/whateverthenameoftheoneyouuploadedis
<dmp> [23:53] <dmp> if it says they're both the same, go ahead, reboot.
<dmp> [23:54] <patterson> Well it didn't say anything after I typed "diff newbios.bin /tmp/bios.bin"....But after I typed "raincoat -r newbios.bin", it listed the same thing it did earlier
<dmp> [23:55] <dmp> reboot then
<dmp> [23:55] <patterson> Does that sound right? Should I go ahead and reboot regardless?
<dmp> [23:55] <dmp> it's right
<dmp> [23:55] <patterson> k
<dmp> [23:56] <patterson> IT WORKS!!!!!!!! YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!!! Everyone told me this was not fixable but I knew there was someone out there that would know what to do.
