Well folks it's been a long time in the making but we finally
cracked it. As most of you know the new v1.4 and v1.5 Xbox had
a new FOCUS video encoder (FS454) which replaced the old Conexant
version (CX25871) and video output could no longer be generated.


This sounds like this should do the trick.

the bios comes as a 256k bios if i run the MAKE1MB.bat file will this allow me to load it with PBL 1.3? and can should it work with the same RC4Key & EEPROMKey1_0 's as i have for the 4977 bios?

please let me know

[jhonnypolak]

I've got 2 XBOX beast packs.

I tried using 3 approaches:

- Audio Hack
- PBL 1.3
- PBL 1.3.5i

and the following bioses in all possible combinations with the above 3 mentioned approaches:

- X2 4979 BFM (both 61 and 67)
- M7 BFM EjectFix
- D6 BFM EjectFix

NONE OF THEM WORK:

here are some screens i get:

You just wanted an excuse to take a provocative picture

I have gotten an error identical to pic# 1 on a holiday tetris bundle v1.5
Not sure what I did to fix it but currently it is running:

-Signed Fonts PBL v1.3 (could NOT get it to work right with newer version.)
-Bigfonts
-D6 BFM EjectFix

And it works fine now.

In all the fuzziness it looks like I see "Loading Rom: F:/Bioses/EvoxM7  bin"

Did you rename the bios to xboxrom.bin?

[jhonnypolak]

yep, i did rename it, im gonna try what you just wrote (the ingredients) ... i hope this works, i been on it all day :/

[jhonnypolak]

dude is there anyway you could send me those files ?

(i know where to get them myself, but it's about the configuration, i might be doing something wrong, missing something...)

[jhonnypolak]

Here is what happens to the XBOX when i try running PBL 1.3.5i and M7 bios

http://www.dart.net..../xboxerror5.avi

(movie encoded in XViD - size 1mb)


I also sent my files (pbl 1.3.5i + m7) exactly how i have them on my beast pack to a friend of mine, and it worked perfectly on his. !!! Please help !!!!

[LESTAT]

go grab 1.3.5i guys sheesh and make sure you grab the CORRECT one to, for whatever exploit your using.
if there is only a Signed pbl  then be sure to patch the default.xbe for -font or -habibi

alot of people are getting cfg files with NO rc4 key,,and the eeprom key is all zero's
make sure those lines are all numbers, not all 0's

other than that, there isnt a reason why it shouldnt work as long as you have the right exploits and the right bios.

Scrambled Video = WRONG BIOS you need M7 BFM or 4979(preferably 4979.67((you'll see that bios file in the rar when you download it))
Blank screen = shit happens,, reboot your xbox if it still does it, make sure your default.xbe is signed properly.
blank screen can be a few problems, i get it mostly when the xbox is not shut OFF just rebooted
Pic #1 the one with all the error messages =  you have the wrong bios, one that does NOT work with PBL,. OR you have a cfg file that does not have the RC4 key or eeprom keys.

once again the bios's that WORK
4977
4978 (
4978.03 (and Eject fix version)
D6 (and Eject fix version)
M7 (and Eject fix version)
4979

ALL bios's MUST be a BFM bios, if they do not say BFM then forget it.

Yep i also have 2 "beast pack" xboxes to mod and have had no luck in doing so, ive successfully modded other xboxes, im in New Zealand and since Australia and NZ are closely tied with most things im assuming i have the same version xboxes as the guy that started this thread.

From the Xbox Dashboard i get the kernel and bios version.
K: 1.00.5531.01
B: 1.00:4920.01


Ive followed the tuts on how to determine the xbox version, its either 1.4 or 1.5, i dont have a multi meter so i cant determine the correct version.

I tried do to the fonts mod using the following combination.

- bigfonts25
- 4979.67_bfm_256k.bin
- PBL1.3.5i_signed_font_exploit.zip

PBL came with an RC4 key and EEPRomKey already in the boot.cfg file (not 0's), so i assume it is correct, this is the first time ive used 1.3.5i, all other times ive used 1.3 and the rc4key that was supplied with that worked fine.

I renamed the bios to xboxrom.bin and placed it in the Bioses folder

The xbox boots up fine and the fonts hack seems to work, then a black screen appears and is displaying white text,  it is unreadable though, due to flickering, and it stays on this screen and nothing else happens.  It looks very similar to one of the pics already posted in this thread.

I usually flash the TSOP, but i dont want to try this until i can get a bios working on one of these new xboxes with the pheonix bios loader.

If someone else has succesfully modded a "beast pack" xbox could you please provide some insight.

Does the audio exploit work for you?

[funksoulbro84]

I am having these same problems with an Austaralian Beast pack.

I am using PBL1.3.5i.
I put the new xecuter bios and the M7 in the Bioses directory.
Do the file names have to be renamed??? The boot.cfg contians numbers and when I boot the xbox it ony flashes a funky black screen with a bit of text on it. I think it says there is something wrong with the bios files.
The font exploit is working correctly.

Any ideas?

[af12345]

Has anyone out there got it completely working?

I mean if worst comes to worst, you can just sign all your XBEs for the hack you're using for a while (not use Phoenix), but unfortunately it'll be eject & reset.

I'm following the thread in anticipation.

[Atreyu]

i got pbl 1.3.5i running
the video is all scrambled.. and no matter what bios i try i get the red dot and green line error.

could this be a different video chip?

my production date is 2003-09-24

can anyone else suggest anything to try?

someone said early in this post that X2_4976.02_bfm.bin worked but was scrambled.. i tried that.. but i get the red dot green line error

[funksoulbro84]

Can anybody help with this problem?

What does the black screen with the error say about the bioses?
