I'm a bit curious... What's the manufacturing date on the old one and on the new ones?

QUOTE (Atreyu @ Nov 19 2003, 10:24 AM)

my production date is 2003-09-24

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

Yes, X2_4976.02_bfm.bin worked for me. It would boot into EvoX, but the video was scrambled. I got the file from the "hacked" folder in the "Boot.From.Media.Bios.Collection-COMPLEX" rar (cpx-bfmc.rar) found in the "usual" place. Worked with both Pbl 1.3 and Pbl 1.3.5i.

This was the only bios I could find that worked. All the others gave me the green line/dot black screen that you (and others) get.

Manufacturing date of the X-Box is 2003-09-07. It's a European PAL machine. Notice how the ones that don't work all have one thing in common; they are all made after 2003-09-03...

yeah something is definatly up with the dates..

ive try to mod 2 xbox's that were 2003-09-2X

and they both failed, but i then modded two xbox that were 2003-10-XX and these were fine.

ive got a couple more coming today and will see what these do.

all these systems were BEAST PACKS, and i used the exact same files on all

I've got one from 2003-09-18 with the same problem.
Do you think, that chips won't work, too?
I'm not sure but I think, that chips won't work so what should I do.
I already build in a 120gb hdd (before I tested the PBL)
so I can't give it back. DAMN
Now I have a XBOX with a big hdd, but I only can use 8 damned gb of it.
I hope that team xcecuter will bring soon a new BIOS out.

PEACE

I did an aussie beastpack last night. Manufacture date was 2003-09-25, Phillips drive, Focus chip.

First I used HDDriver to install
1.Bigfonts
2.EvolutionX (newest) signed for font with XBdump renamed to default.xbe
3.evox.ini edited to have c:bios.bin for flash bios and winbond flash details.
3.M7 bios file as c:bios.bin (256)

All went well untill flash time and the device would not erase, Seems the newest evolutionX still does not flash wnbond chip.

I then got raincoat out of the 007/raincoat package.

Signed the linux xbe file in raincoat with xbedump to work with font.

Used FTP to replace default.xbe with the re-singed linux xbe.

used FTP to upload the raincoat folder and BOOT folder from 007/raincoat

re-booted the xbox and linux ran But no video, only audio

Telnet into 192.168.0.64 username root password xbox

Ran the command to flash the onboard winbond chip and it flashed fine with te m7 bios.

OK. Now its all working. time to put thing back to normal.

Inserted a evolutionX boot disk and ftp'ed back into the machine.

Removed bigfonts
Renamed the old .xtf files back to .xtf
Removed default.xbe (linux)
Installed a unsigned evolutionx onto the root of c
removed the bios file.

Reboot and im done.

If I had of used raincoat from the start it would of been ever quicker. But I dont think HDDriver will make folders. So Evolutionx dashboard is still needed.

so.. you flashed the tsop with the m7?

did you try running fonts with m7 to start off with?

@ Atreyu
Is your XBOX now chipped and does it work?

PEACE

ive done 5 Beast packs now

2 didn't work (they were september releases)
and 3 did and they were october releases

funksoulbro84 · « **Reply #40 on:** November 26, 2003, 10:42:00 PM »

Mine is also a September release beast pack and I can't get it to work. I am trying the fonts + HDD swap trick (Xlinux). Would the audio exploit work?

wtf can be done?

funksoulbro84 · « **Reply #41 on:** November 26, 2003, 10:49:00 PM »

just been thinking.. your ideas please.
I know the font hack is working because I can see the PBL loading (although the video is funky) So i wonder if I use a signed -font evox would that show up funny? if it did or didn't, then would flashing the bios with the M7 fix everything???

your thoughts please..

I successfully moded a Beast pack xbox with the audio hack. It was manufactured on the 13th of October and had a Thompson drive.

I used PBL 1.3.5i with the M7 bios.

Though I had some trouble using xbtool to edit M7 to change dashpaths (I wanted to change it to e:\evox\evoxdash.xbe). I had to end up using the default directory of c:. I didn't try Xecutor 4979 (or whatever the latest one is)

THRASHERdeluxe · « **Reply #44 on:** November 27, 2003, 10:38:00 AM »

There are many Beast Packs which are moded. But there are some
XBOXs that don't want to be modded. My XBOX loads the font hack then the
PBL with the scrambled Phoenix and after that it freezes and I see a black
screen with some white pixels.
I tried every bios but nothing happens.
I'm sure that the font hack works properly, 'cause when I sign Evox it loads perfect
and everything is normal. damn shit.

PEACE
