I tried the newer fonts (pheonix) they load just fine (sasy pheonix where xbox live used to be), I hex edited the default.xbe of PBL at offset 180 to say

545558214C0069006E00750078000000
00000000000000000000000000000000
(basiclly TUX!L.i.n.u.x)

I resigned it with -hababi and i put it in E: feenix, and still It returns to the dash.

Has anybody got this working besides xboxhakur

yeah, this isnt working for me. I think we need someone to get a package together.

Now that we got the ernie and bert files from the mechinstaller. Why can't we just use them as the bigfonts. But with the clock loop fixed....

wimpie007 · « **Reply #50 on:** November 01, 2003, 03:15:00 AM »

yips, that did the trick!
thnx Xboxhakur!

Now lets hope it doesnt have the loop any more!

YAAAAAA It works, here is how i did it (with xboxhakurs help of course)

first i used the original package from xbins (mechinstaller - evox) and installed it via mechassault, then i installed it via the menu install linux in the mech assualt menu, then i used the package signed pheonix bios loader from xbins (without the fonts, already there from install), i changed the internal name as per xboxhackurs directions (earileir in thread) then i resigned it with -habibi then i renamed it to evox.xbe and transfered it all (all the PBL files and zero legnth files as xboxhackur said to create) all over to the c drive and wallla i pressed evox in the dash and loaded PBL witch loaded evox

Xboxhackur, you kick ass dude

Alright, I was a bit hasty, there's more to the "linux-only" protection....
place two zero-length files in the same directory as your target default.xbe.
name them linuxboot.cfg and vmlinuz

Thats the key works like a charm now got pheonix booting just fine

Hrmm seem to have hit a problem with not being able to load the msdash anymore (even a modified one to load *.xft) from pbl evox I guess the fonts are trying to patch it and it keeps reseting back to evox not really a problem since it works from the first boot though

EDIT PART 2
---------------------
Was wrong sorry I got the hex edited .xft dash to run just fine but not the original one even though the fonts do manage it

It should look like "TUX!L.i.n.u.x......" in ASCII
3. Sign it with Habibi using "XBEDump -habibi default.xbe". This creates out.xbe. Delete default.xbe and rename out.xbe to default.xbe
5. Make sure you are using Live! 1.0 dashboard. If not, upgrade it using MechAssault
6. Download the new fonts posted by XboxHakur - extract them out of MechInstaller-Feenix.rar. Upload the new fonts and rename Xbox.xtf and Xbox Book.xtf to Xbox.bak and Xbox Book.bak respectively.
6. Place two zero-length empty (blank) files named linuxboot.cfg and vmlinuz in the same directory as the copy of PBL that you are about to upload.
7. Upload Pheonix Bios Loader to e:feenix
8. Put whatever bios you want PBL to load in e:feenixbioses and call it xboxrom.bin

Edited after Wimpie007's response

It should now work fine! I'm going to post this in another thread now.

Thanks to: XboxHakur (for figuring it out) and Wimpie007 (for fixing the problems)

Can't you just leave the fonts as "bert" and "ernie"? And the zero-length files, are they just empty text files?

man you guys are nuts lol you guys are great.

i saw this thing(installer) and thought cool,, i already have PBL 1.3.5i and fonts running,, but wanted to try another way.

but WHY o WHY hasnt someone made this thing into a rar and uploaded it to you know where...??

this is way to much to go thru,, i mean if you all got it working cool,, then be a good sport and help us loosers out who arent good with programming. lol.
ive read thru all this and am so screwed up i dont even know where to start.

and that whole 64 file and download some unpacker and blah blah,., thats way out there, again that falls into the "make into a premade rar file."
it dont have to be a FULL installer, i mean it can just be one rar file that has the C drive stuff in a C folder the mech save in another folder. and so on

and then a simple how to on where to upload the stuff too.

so that when you reboot your xbox,, its all there.. nice hacked xbox dash that says phoenix and stuff.

It's intresting to note that it seems to stop the Audio Exploit from working when it is activated.
