X2 4981.06 (no G: drive support)
X2 4981.67 (G: drive support)
Just flash your modchip with this BIOS, and when you try to connect to Xbox Live anywhere, your Xbox will quickly report a connection to Live issue. Even if you run the troubleshooter, Live will still not connect.
Of course, this is all with your modchip on because the BIOS doesn't allow the connection. Turn your modchip off, and Live will work just fine.
Since Xbox Live will not connect with modchip on, backups will not work.
Any questions, just post. However, about the G: drive support mentioned above, this topic isn't about G: drive support. That is for Xbox HDs larger than 137 GB. Any questions about that, go here:

Sounds really sweet to me. I was using Evox M7ef but it looks like I am switching now (or I can try out one of those other 3 banks.)

The way I do it now I have to go through a bunch of crap changing all my setting back to auto. Now... I can leave my cable plugged in and change my settings back to normal and have instant live when I use the software control. Man... I will be getting this BIOS as soon as I have time.

I thought that I could only install a bios for the kind of mod I had... and I am still not sure about this, but maybe a quick yes or no from any of the wise guys could help me learn something new.The bios released for Executor can be used on any ModChip?
I have a chameleon, and as you can see... I thought that the Executor BIOS was only for the new Executor Chip...
Thanks in advance.

I have a question (probably stupid)-
I will finally be getting adsl and live within a week, i've been reading about how to make my xbox safe for live and there's a bit I don't understand... the tutorial I read says I need to hit the eject button when in Evo-x, thing is nothing happens when I do this because X2 bios' have that eject hack so the xbox doesn't reboot.
I just flashed my mod with this latest bios btw.
please note i'm doing this bit by bit (trying to get my head around everything so I don't fluck up) and I haven't locked my HDD yet, I realise I can't turn my mod off with an unlocked HDD.
Will locking my HDD solve this?
thanks

| okay so now we're safe proof from being banned, but also now we can't play backed up games? thats kinda fukkked up right there. |
Of course you can play backups...you just can't play them on Live...no matter how hard you try. Before, you could play backups on Live...for a couple minutes - then you got banned.

my chameleon
is in mode 2 and I have the new x2 bios in bank 0,1I hit disable chameleon in evo-x and it rebooted to MSdash so it looks like everything is ok.
only thing is it's a bit of a pain to go deep into the menus to do this so I might look into setting up a link to disable chameleon in the main menu.
Looks like it's ok to run the dash update with PGR2 now, hopefully i'll be LIVEing successfully within a week.
thanks again!

I cant wait, now i can actually leave my friends ALONE with my xbox haha. Cant never trust them when it comes to live Props to team Xecuter to make this, im sure it involved a lot of hacking. Xecuter has been ontop of everything since day 1, from in game reset to macrovision off.
Cheers for this fine addition

When you updated your xboxdash version with UC it will connect to live and u will get banned...
But if u allready got the new dasha nd updated it to 2.0 there shouldn't be any problems...
Post by: jizzlobber on January 07, 2004, 05:18:00 AM
When I turned my chameleon off it booted back to MSdash as expected, but when i hit the eject button to put a disc in it didn't reset... does this mean my modchip is still on cause i'm sure it should reset.
thanks

This is not a "How to Flash" thread, as it is a thread to provide details about the BIOS. Ask the proper forum about your modchip to learn how to flash your modchip.

| Just to clarify....if I have a Matrix chip and I use the eject button (after loading a game) to disable the modchip....will this work with these new bios'? Or do these new bios' have the "ejectfix" thereby will not work with a Matrix chip? Thanks. |
Unfortunately, I think that all new BIOS releases from X2 are eject fix. So, stick with X2 4976.02, or get a new modchip
BTW, you might want to read some tuts about installing an external switch on your Matrix. Doing that, you can use all newer BIOS that have come out.

thanks shana. I have yet to be banned, so I think I'll just stick with what I got.

| Reading the NFO the only thing I believe there is a problem with is if you allow a game to update your dashboard. |
But how will it connect to live if the bios prevents it to doing this?
Could you explain? Thanks
