Do you have a listing of bioses when you hit 'A' under the PBL screen?

. what does the phoenix do?

   It boots a bios of your choice - kind of a software version of a modchip.

My advice to help would be if there are no bios files listed under pheonix then download one fron xbins - preferebly the latest x2 bfm bios. then test things out and see what happens - after the bios is loaded you are going to need a dashboard to boot into.... Do you have this as well.. If not try EvoX or MXM.
