? what the?

loading the a ms bios, to manipulate it?

what about loading the x2 4977 bios, (this phoenix loader supports this allready)?
this bios is a well known modchip bios, which enables you to load unsigned code, and evox, without even using a loader application.

You know.. thats a GREAT Idea... what the hell was I thinking...

Boot the 4034.bin bios and use the complex 1.1 dash on any xbox ??

Able to read xbox games here i come!

Although now I need to find out what the hash is for the 4034 kernel

Why load 4034 retail bios when you can load a mod chip bios? smile.gif)

  You will need to provide your own bios and RC4 key as those are illegal to
  distribute without permission from MS.   
 
  Currently working bioses:  X2 4977 Boot From Media version (uses Debug RC4 key)   
 
 
  Step 1 - Install files  Install the included default.xbe, phoenix.raw,
           and boot.cfg file into the directory of your choice on your
           xbox, using any method you prefer (007 hack, dash hack, evox).
           Also install the bios you wish to load (only 1 works for now)
           into the same directory, and name it xboxrom.bin.  Don't forget
           to sign the default.xbe for the boot method you are using.   
           
  Step 2 - Edit boot.cfg  Edit the RC4Key entry to be the appropriate RC4
           key for the bios you are loading. If you specify the key to be all
           0x00's, it will assume the 2BL is decrypted already in the rom you
           are providing.  Also note that if you really want to rename your
           bios file, you can provide the name here with the Romfile parameter. 
           
  Step 3 - Launch the application.  Depending on your preference you may be
           launching the application via the dash hack, or the 007 hack, or
           the audio hack, or from any 3rd party dashboard.  Just go ahead
           and launch our app!  You will see our intro being rendered (don't
           worry, it will only display the full intro the first time you run
           it), and then you will find yourself in whatever dash the bios
           normally will launch.  Note that if you are launching the
           application automatically from the dash hack, you will need to be
           careful as you could find yourself in an infinite loop if you are
           loading a bios which tries to boot the MS dashboard. The X2
           4977 BFM bios looks for evoxdash.xbe, so as long as you have another
           dashboard named evoxdash.xbe, it will launch that one first.

The NFO makes little sense though...

4977 is a "retail" BIOS (hacked, but hacked RETAIL) with NO RC4  - but the NFO claims it's a Debug BIOS with a Debug RC4.

What gives here?

The NFO should be clearer... from what I GATHER, they seem to abuse the term "debug BIOS" to mean any hacked BIOS when referring to what they can load. The use of the phrase "retail BIOS" may relate to unhacked BIOSes (maybe so some modders can use XBL without a switch to disable a mod chip?)

I think the reasoning behind getting a retail bios to load off this is for future live compatibility. Kind of like a software version of the modchip on/off switches turning off the "modchip bios" and turning on the "retail bios"
