I can now boot to Phoenix then EVOX and can jump to M$ Dash.  

(LIVE does not work though. Get a black screen and hang up on it. But, I dont want to get banned so it doesn't matter. I can use the alternatives for now.

Heres my sucess story;
After trying all the dashboard exploits that have came up in the past 2 weeks none would allow me to see the DVD drive. Kept getting the diplicate C: drive. or just the video tracks. I was ready to forget it and install a chip.
Then I stumbled across this thread. MANY MANY THANKS TUTU!!!

I have used this on 3 different units and it works perfectly on all 3.
1 - 4817 dash / 4920 K
1 - 5101 dash / 4920 K
The other I didn't get the specs on.

I made these modifications though.

The 4817 I used the habibi 007 game save.
The 5101 I used the Free Evox 007 game save.

(Note) I have concluded that the game save has no effect other than to let you ftp the info to the drive at first.

First thing I did for both units, was use the Kraken Tut to run M$ Dash.

Second, trip to xbins, grabbed Complete_Signed_Phoenix_Bios_Loader.
Dumped complete contents to c:root, less .nfo file.

Third, Modified Evox.ini to go to new M$ Dash created with Kraken tut.
     example;   MSDashBoard   = "c:newdash.xbe"

(Note) I had problems running some CD backups and HD backups untill I changed all instances of IGR to = NO in EVOX.INI file. Now they all run fine. And can still use IGR from pad.

Fourth, Rebooted, got Phoenix Intro, Logo, then EVOX! YEAH!
Hit M$ Dashboard, up comes ol Greenie. YEAH!
Poped in backup. Hit, Launch DVD from Evox, up comes game. YEAH!

MANY THANKS TUTU  

I wish to thank all who have helped to make this all a possibility.

In the news it linked to this post. I have the dvd remote reset problem, its a pain. Kernel 3944, Dash: 4920. Hacked dash: Freevox. Bert and ernie reloaded. When I load a dvd it does it without even loading the fonts. So I beleive the reset is due to the fact it can't find the fonts it needs to display the info associated with the remote button. Someone might have already said this, I didnt have time to read through the post.

no..it is not yet complete there are a few bugs to iron out.. as in a remote during DVD playback resetting issue-reported by artifex- and i fixed the resetting issue using the reloaded fonts

i have the dvd remote bug too, expect mine is with EvoX w/ B&E Reloaded (BigFonts) and i still get the dvd remote bug......someone fix it now!!!!

Hi

Nice tutorial TUTU

I was thinking if its possible to make a permanent solution to an unmodded xbox by:

1) ftp the evox.xbe and evox.ini to the C: drive
2) then rename the xboxdash.xbe (original MS dashboard) to msdash.xbe
3) rename evox.xbe to xboxdash.xbe
4) and make a link in evox.ini to look for the msdash.xbe

This is assuming that the xbox bios can load the evoxdash.xbe (now called xboxdash.xbe).
Can it be possible? or the evoxdash.xbe needs to have a key or be sign with MS code in order for the bios to load it?

How can the evoxdash be sign so the original xbox bios will load it?


Thanks a lot

E&B Reloaded>Phoenix BIOS loaded w/x2 4977>evox
IF you use a hex editor and do the x.t.f trick then if you point evox to new Dash then the DVD remote will work great.But you have to insert DVD after evox is loaded/after  M$ dash tried to read it.

Hi, I'm really new to all this Xbox Hacking but I have a few questions.

I have a moded Xbox, with a homebrewn chip. I was thinking of getting a chip so I could switch between modded xbox and the debug xbox.

With this new Loader, I think that I dont need to buy this chip anymore.

Could someone tell me if I'm getting this wrong.

I can have my xbox boot evox like it is actually, and I can have a tab that will execute the Loader, making my xbox reboot into the debug bios ?
Then once done having fun debugging stuff, all I need to do is on/off the box and evox will come up naturally ?

If this is possible, could someone tell me how I can do this ?

my screens goes black.

ok, I copy evox to my C: drive so in addition to my original files, I have evox.ini and evoxdash.xbe along with a Skin folder

Then I do all that jazz with 007withevox and the phonix files.

then I use xbedump I signed, del, and rename.

zipped it up, loaded to HD, then loaded thru oo7

I see a cool looking phoenix, then i see eternal darkness.....

what am I doing wrong?

Exactly the same problem that I am having.  My Xbox is a 4034 - has anyone gotten this working that has the same kernel version?  Can't remember the Dash version off the top of my head (at work rite now..).

Is it more likely a problem with the BIOS+RC4 key or a problem with the Evox that is on the Xbox's C-drive?  The fact that the Phoenix intro plays means the default.xbe has been properly signed with -habibi, right?

Any ideas?

[PooN]

My kernal is 4034 and dashboard is 4920

and im thinkng the same as you, GQ, cant be the .xbe since the red does show up.

anyone else?

Okay, so this is my problem, which will hopefully be solved easily (this is my first time at ever trying to do an Xbox mod, so I'm an extreme greenhorn with all this). I had no idea what step 2 meant, because I didn't know how to use the hacked MA save game if it weren't set up yet already. So I ignored step 2 (knowing this would probably be a problem). I know that was stupid, but I had no idea how to use the hacked save game. Am I supposed to take the contents of the rar file, spit them into a UDATA folder, put that on my mem card (without altering any of the files or doing the whole command line stuff), and load that file first in Mechassault? Will evox just load from the memory card so that I can ftp to the box after that? This is what happened for me: I skipped step 2. I went and did the other steps. Copied the new save game file (after doing the whole dumping and altering of the file etc etc) to the HD. Loaded MA, then loaded the run linux save. From there it booted the Phoenix logo, went black temporarily, then just showed the big green X logo. It hung, then the LED blinked red/green, then an error 21 occured. So was I supposed to initially just take that save game file as is, and load that first? Will that load a barebones evox dash for me to ftp to my xbox with? If someone could explain this one thing to me, I would be in your debt. Thanks.

If you skipped Step 2 or even 1 it will obviously not work - you have to follow them in order.  Step 1 is just taking the Mech w/ Evox save game and using that to be able to FTP into ur XBox.  Step 2 is where you copy the actually BIOS to the c:/ drive of the XBox and Step 3 is altering the Mech w/ Evox save game to actually load the new BIOS you copied to the c:/ of the Xbox... so if you skipped Step 2 and went to Step 3 it is trying to find the EvolutionX BIOS on the c:/ of the XBox that you didn't copy in Step 2....therefore the problem you are having.  If you follow each step as tutu laid it out you shouldn't have any problems.  The only problem I am having is the dreaded Reset on Eject bug that has plagued several people.  This appears to be solved by the Bert & Ernie Reloaded Font files, but I am not sure how to intergrate those into this particular hack - anybody care to explain?  Anyhow - everything else works, I copied KOTOR to the e:/ drive last night and it came right up.... hope this helps.
