So this exploit is useless if you don't have the right bios?

[{later}]

You will need to get the good bios AND the rc4key. Try #xbins on Efnet.

excellent work now have access to my DVD's over FTP on 4817/4920...

this rocks!!

If only the audio exploit worked then this would be the best thing in conjuction with it, we would then have the option when to run the BIOS loader.

So when we don't need it, its not running thus -> Xbox Live compatibility

(I hope)

not according to every single post on here....

it will only boot linux? and xbedump -audio doesn't seem to work (key isn't working?)

[Jacob2003]

I cant get it to work. I got the right bios, and everything else. I signed the xbe and renamed the bios. Put it in E:/APPS/Bios/ made a copy of evox and named it evoxdash.xbe. Put it in the C: partition. When I try to launch it I get a round dragon symbol and it just sticks there. I've tried many different things. Nothing worked.
Thanks

It will work fine with the audio exploit, it just needs to be signed correctly.  And yeah, -audio doesn't work.

I know, this is the problem

Complex Loader! (set to autolaunch Phoenix Bios Loader) 3. Bios Loader runs and voila! 4. evoxdash.xbe just like any other mod chipped xbox. more like: 1 B&E 2 Phoenix Loader 3 Evox Dash

So has anyone here been brave enuff yet to sign the Phoenix Bios Loader as their default startup and not use the Complex !Loader or the likes yet? Or is everyone still running this new Phoenix breakthrough as an experimental app?

I just wanted to dispell some misinformation, and maybe make some kiddie's lives easier.  I dont know why there's so much confusion, since the tool was distributed with source!  Why cant people just inform themselves?  Anyways... sorry... ranting...

The rc4 key is unnecessary if one has a bios with an already decrypted 2bl.
How to go about making one:
    Obtain an x2 4977 BFM rom image, 256k
    Obtain the RC4 key
    Unpack the x2 4977 BFM bios with xbtool
    Insert the unpacked 2bl.img over the original 2bl in the rom image
         This starts at offset 0x6200 (iirc)
    Make the rom image 1024k using the age-old techniques
    Upload to the usual sources for all to enjoy.
         Then, noone will need to go trying to find the rc4 key.

To get the RC4 key without blatently breaking laws:
    Obtain a bios that contains it in the 2bl, and has a decrypted 2bl.
         (not sure which ones do, offhand.  try evoxd6)
    Open in a hexeditor.
    Find the key... it's offset will vary, but it will start with the
         magic letters W and B
         All the bytes should add up to 0x063D, iirc


Also... to cover some other bases:
Using complex !loader with this is silly. The whole point of
complex !loader is to patch a stock bios at runtime.  With this,
youre already running a patched bios, so there's no need.  A good setup would
be to use bert & ernie to launch the Phoenix loader directly, which will in
turn load x2 4977 bfm, which will in turn launch evox.

A STEP-BY-STEP:
Install Bert&Ernie Font exploit as has been covered a million other times
Sign Phoenix Loader with the Font exploit key using xbedump. (also well covered)
Put RC4 key in config file, and copy to c:
copy phoenix.raw to c:
Copy signed .xbe to c:
put evoxdash.xbe on c:
rename x2 4977 bfm bios to xboxkrnl.bin and put on c:

Your box will now boot just as if it had a modchip. :-D

ENJOY!

btw... im extremely tired, so, correct me if any of this is wrong. :-)

With all due respect with what you have done for the scene, I don't think you undertand what I mean in my post.

Yes I am a little excited, but who isn't?

I simply wan't to use the audio exploit so I can run the BIOS loader and then use XBMP + Emulators, when I choose.

This should mean I can continue to use my Xbox live with my Xbox live originalls, thank you very much.

This has got nothing to do with "xbl exploits".

Now grow up..



Back to topic please

Ok since I've been out of the loop because of work....
Correct me if I am wrong but to actually get an xbox to boot and have the original c drive "untouched"  so you can still use xbl.  Wouldnt it be a brighter idea to make the pheonix bios loader a game save exploit... load 007 boot the phoenix and load evox off say a cd.  THen when you wanted to play xbl you could just simply reboot the xbox.  Put your legal "legit" game in the tray and boot into the game.  Choosing xbl and vwa-la?  You dont have a messed with xbox drive content and you can play backups when you want?

Wooger

Keep in mind when I say boot evox off a cd i mean after the new bios loads it will go into the xboxdash.  Simply put the evox cd in the tray and load it.

dont want to rain on anyone's parade but does the time loop come into play with this? dont say use the reloaded fonts, they're a workaround, not a fix, it takes like 2 hours of that loop for my box to fix itself.... if it doesnt affect this, many cheers and beers to pheonix, but if it does, i would like it to be mentioned/made aware of :-
