SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v.1.5 & Manual v1.0
It's the most comprehensive toolkit to date assembled from all the best tools, utilities, bioses and dashboard currently available, all integrated and packaged together with the full 4034 MS dashboard. It weighs in at 60MB compressed. I am not taking credit for any of the individual tools, except the way they are compiled, the ease of installation and the manual I wrote.
Features:
* It will allow you to make an EvoX XBOX Bootable CD-RW that can be used to instantly rebuild the whole XBOX HD, retail or upgraded. It will allow you in one click to Format it, Partition it and it will copy both the MS files as well as the latest EvoX 1.8.3285 with skins and the most popular apps, including the latest Xbox Media Player v2.0, boXplorer and HDDLoader.
* It can also flash your TSOP with the latest EvoX D.6 or Xecuter2 4974 MultiVer Bioses, with several others included. Remember that the 2 bridge points need to be connected on the MB for that to work and you'll need a Gen1 Mod Chip. Something simmilar can be done with the Matrix, look up the info.
* It also integrates the coolest tool from Superfr0, the EEPromer 0.45, that lets you save and reflash your EEPROM, Lock and Unlock your HD (Retail or Upgraded) with a few button presses!!! But be careful and do not try to lock a v1.1 Xbox with it as it will be rendered useless.
* The startup menu on the CD is self explanatory.
* The whole thing is easily customizable and updatable when the nexGen dash or newer tools come out.
* I've also included a Manual I just made with screenshots of EvoX and a detailed reference to a modded xbox and it's functionality. It will walk someone through using a modded Xbox created using the installer and it's very detailed but still meant for a beginner. The MBMP2 manual is also attached as there are references to it.
NOTE: I take no responsibility if anyone messes up their Xbox, so do not use this tool if you do not understand what it does! The Manual however should come in handy to any beginner.
I really feel that this is a very thorough toolkit and if possible a moderator should please PIN this post so that everyone will be aware of it. If that does not happen, readers should please reply to this thread to bump it up
Please do not PM or email me with questions on downloads or functionality!
>>>> Version 1.5 is meant for XBOX v1.0 ONLY! <<<<
Post your feedbacks and questions here so that everyone can benefit from the answers!
Thanks and Enjoy!

The toollkit can simply install EvoX and the latest apps, and leave everything else alone ( MS Dash, saved games, existing apps, etc...)
or
It can re-format your HD, new or upgraded, wipe everything and give you a fully functional system complete with apps, EvoX dash, skins, MS Dash, etc.. in 2 button presses :-)
Keep in mind that if you chose to rebuild your HD all save games will be lost so a backup of your C and E drives are recommended, just in case!

Hope no one crashed it trying to upload my 60MB installer
Just kidding of course...
PLEASE DO NOT PM or EMAIL ME ASKING FOR IT! All anyone needs to do is use any newsreader ( I recomend one that supports Yenc like GrabIt or NewsBin Pro) and point it to the xbox forums in the newsgroups.
The main forum is "alt.binaries.cd.image.xbox" If my installer is not there just post a request for it and myself, Y314K or someone else will re-upload.
If you're not sure what news service to use and if your ISP does not have a good one, try SuperNews - www.supernews.com - ( or do a search in google for "news servers" )
OH, If anyone is kind enough to want to host the installer on their FTP please Email me!
Good luck and please post your feedback here once you've tried it.

Not really, with easynews.com and news2me.com, both usenet server providers have WEB interfaces... news2me.com has an outstanding search facility (search for files across ALL binaries groups!!) and is $10/month for 50GB of downloads.
I use both (easynews.com has better retention) and never have to touch a usenet reader.
Even those on dialup can use these two services.... just use a download manager like Getright (the one I use) and it's a lot less hassle then finding an ftp and HOPING it doesn't go down or isn't some ratio-based site, or that it's bogged down with too many users accessing files.
$10 a month, 50GB of high-speed leeching!

Please explain to me how its easier to get a file through ftp than usenet with a dialup rather than on a broadban connection. Is it because you are using a ftp program rather than a web browser? think about these 2 scenarios..
1) for your ftp , first you have to know the filename your looking for, then you have to find a site, (which is what you as well as others are doing right now in this thread) , then start your ftp program on you pc, type the site ip address in, then log into it, do dir listing for the file you want, then transfer the file. (and thats not counting if the sites full, or goes down, or any number of other things that could screw you...)
now, lets look at scenario number 2..
2) start internet explorer, type www.easynews.com, login, go to favorites (binaries.xbox), in the search box type slayer's evox, click the file and its downloaded to your computer.
Now please tell me whats faster?

| Maybe im not getting this right... I made the iso fine, and booted up to it (btw, you should consider making the ip address option in evox.ini default to automatic instead of static. I never changed it before I made the iso and had to keep resetting my pc's ip to switch between the web and the xbox. (my local ip is 10.10, not 192.168). Anyway, it boots up to the evox 3285 dashboard just fine. I can view my ip, go the ms dashboard, pick the rest of the options, etc. But nowhwere do I see a dashboard like other people have (pick game from hd, view dvd movie, etc.) How do I install that part of the dashboard? Mr.X |
Sorry for the confusion gbrandon, but the reason I made it a fixed IP is because most users do not have a DHCP server or a router installed to issue IP addresses to their xbox. Any advanced user that does have DHCP would also be able to edit the evox.ini enough to turn on DHCP. By doing it this way I was trying to make sure it works with the biggest install base.
For anyone interested here is the main menu that appears once wou make the UDF disk and boot with it:
Backup All Current System Settings
--------------------------
Rebuild Upgraded HD on V1 xbox
Rebuild Retail HD on V1 Xbox
--------------------------
EEPromer (Backup and HD Lock/Unlock)
--------------------------
Flash TSOP BIOS of V1.X Unit (EvoX vD.6_EjectFix)
Flash TSOP BIOS of V1.X Unit (Xecuter2 4974 IGR)
--------------------------
MS Dashboard
System Settings
Power Off Xbox
I will make an ISO as well and post it and if there is enough demand. I might even make a DHCP ISO and a Fixed IP ISO.
Everyone, let me know what you think....

It's probably that u haven't locked u'r HD yet.... In order for the original dash to work the HD needs to be lock....... If u have a 1.0 XBox u can use the epromm prog to do it.. (If u got a 1.1 XBox then u will need to do it from u'r PC... the old fashion way ).....
Update: Also make sure the Evox.ini points the the right file name in C: in the MSDash: part of the Evox.ini... it should be something like C:\XBoxDash.xbe or what ever name is the originals dash u have in u'r C:
If it's already lock then u might want the overwrithe the xboxdash.xbe in u'r C: to the original to make sure u got the correct one in there....

K... We would like to find a ftp that can let people direct link to it... U would just have to click on the link to get it...
If not that then a regular ftp is good for all those that doesn't have a news server that has the XBox group.... A lot of ISP news server doesn't... EasyNews is a the best alternative for them but at $10 per 6GB is kind of steep... It's only a couple of rentals in some places so it might be worth it... Specially since people post games in there too....
We tried to uploaded to XBins ftp server but they were not insterested.... They said it was to big(60MB) and that they already had all the parts(although seperate) in there.... We understand... I guess they can't spare any bandwith.... So we are still looking for alternatives....
If u can't wait to get it........ U might want to log into Kazza tonight... U might find a good supprise....
U can always get u'r News Server info from u'r ISP provider... but there are no guaranntees they have the main XBox group on them...
Never mind.... 1wolf1 got a FTP server.... Thankx sphere man

the only thing you are going to able to download is the slayer auto install.
if you want anything else make a txt document with your name email and what you want. upload it to the ftp and i will see what i can do for you.
ppl who are trying to take more then 1 slot on the ftp will be banned for 24hours.
sorry for the rules but due the popularity of the slayer file there are already over 35 user's on the ftp. 35 users who wants to take 60mb i dont mind that i like being there for other ppl but dont take advantage of it.

My sincere thanks sphere man!
Update:
2 versions of the installer in xISO form have been sucessfully uploaded to the newsgroups in 3 parts each! They should make their way to the FTP soon... The names to look for are:
SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v1.5 - xISO - DHCP.part1.rar ... .part3.rar
and
SlaYer's EvoX Auto-Installer v1.5 - xISO - FixedIP.part1.rar ... .part3.rar
These are the same thing but easier to use "out of the box" since all you need to do is burn the iso and boot with it. More advanced users should still get the original release as it can be edited and tweaked to match your setup a lot easier. For those using a router or DHCP server the choice is clear. Otherwise grab the FixedIP version.
Remember to please post your feedback and any help for new users here.
OK, I am going to get some rest now...

you need to copy your original msxboxdash.exe back to the hd, as well as all the files and folders that were created when you installed live. (assuming you backed up your drive before you ran slayers evox installer). Hope this helps. I was having the same problem as you and thats what I did to fix it.

The surest way to test to see if the cdrw you created is working or not is try to read it in with windows explorer on your pc. If you can see ANY files its not created correctly. What I had to do to get mine to work was the following: 1) download slayers evox file. 2) Unzip to a folder (eg, SLAYERCD) 3) d/l a util called isomaker1.1 4) run isomaker and point it to the folder where you unzipped slayers' evox cd. (eg, SLAYERCD) 5) specify what you want the iso called and where you want it saved to (IT CANT BE THE SAME FOLDER YOU UNZIPPED SLAYERS EVOX CD TO!) (eg, C:\temp\slayercd.iso) 6) burn the iso with nero or some other cd burn software that supports iso's. 7) put the cd in your xbox and power on!! Thats it.. NOTES: YOu do not have to "install evox software to HD" to make it run. It runs off the cd. (although, as far as I know, you have to run evox dashboard from the cd) nor do you have to flash your mod chip bios with it. (I flashed my matrix with evox2.6noanibluered and put it in mode 3 and installed it in my xbox) To learn a bit how the xbox works, you have to understand that when you power it on, and there is a dvd in the drive, that takes priority over the hd. If there is no dvd, the hardrive boots up with whatever file your mod bios is looking for (eg, xboxdash.xbe, evoxdash.xbe or yboxdash.xbe). Also, as a added tip, you might want to look at the evox.ini file BEFORE you create your iso. You can modify the network parameters in it to make it easier for you to connect from your pc. Hope this helps.. Mr.X Post by: SlaYer on December 20, 2002, 06:04:00 PM I really wish that people would read through an entire post before asking about how to make the ISO, especially since I've posted already that 2 pre-built ISO versions were already released. As for backing up your save games and dashboard before running my tool and erasing and rebuilding everything, the Installer CD is based on EvoX so an FTP server is immediately present as soon as the interface starts up. FTP to the IP on your screen and backup your stuff! Any more feedbacks from people who already used it? Comments, thoughts? Thanks! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 20, 2002, 06:40:00 PM
I simply use the default that EvoX uses. If you check the release "evox.ini" file in all the authentic releases, the MS dashboard is referenced/called "msxboxdash.xbe" I did not have time to re-invent the wheel...
Post by: SlaYer on December 20, 2002, 09:03:00 PM
I am sorry to say JamesBee, but you must do a little more reading on the subject. There a re few great tutorials written about the way EvoX and the bioses/mod chips work. If you've read my posts carefully (just a couple above this one) you would have read that I have tried to account for most mods/bioses by creating 3 copies of the EvoX dash on the C: partition of the Hard Drive. Please post questions about EvoX general operation and mod chip functionality in the appropriate forums, after you've read the FAQ's. I am in now way discouraging you from asking questions but this is too basic for this particular thread. Good Luck! Post by: pico64 on December 20, 2002, 10:28:00 PM Just want to say thanks for creating thiis great compilation. Post by: YoMamaNL on December 21, 2002, 03:12:00 AM I don't mind hosting the files.

1wolf1: My apologies (although I was never critizing your work). It was late and for somereason I missed the xboxdash.xbe (renamed evox) when I unpacked it. Which of course was my original point that with it missing then it would cause problems booting on older modded systems. Post by: sonar on December 21, 2002, 07:45:00 AM

It has NOT been tested on a v1.1 xbox and until I do, I do not recommend it. Remember that it copies the MS dashboard files from the v1.0 xbox over! The X2 chip has nothing to do with it.

Actually 20 was just a conservative number, you can put as many as you have space. I strongly recommend you only use partition6 (F:) drive as that will leave your save game data on (E:) with over 5GB of space for all those save games and it also keeps it "M$ compliant" in case they start to check the HD's for non M$ files. So, any other comments on the Manual? 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 22, 2002, 07:15:00 PM
I am sincerely sorry that you did not have a backup. However I did post strong warnings, both in the comments of the RAR file, and in the NFO, as well as in the final option/ackgnowlegement, before your xbox is overwritten... More than that I doubt anyone could possibly ask for. If you still need that one file, just place a request in the newsgroups and I am sure either myself or anyone else would be glad to post that file for you. It is small and simple to do. "Request it in news and it shall appear" 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 22, 2002, 08:02:00 PM
Good call Seye, I've actually had a major HD crash here so my mind must have been wondering...  YES, the MS Dashboard is located under both RETAIL and LARGE on the Install CD! And it is called "msxboxdash.xbe"! LOL Oh, the installer is version 1.5, 1.0 was an "internal" build... As I stated a few posts back, everyone will have to wait till after the holidays for the new 2.0 version... It will include a software update only option as well as choice of EvoX and nexGen Dashboards along with the latest XBMP2 version and any other cool tools like Team-Assembly's ConfigMagic. Since none are released as of yet this will take a few weeks... Also, since I do not have an Xbox 1.1 I cannot certify this tool fit for the v1.1 unless someone chooses to donate one to me for "medical research" Post by: SlaYer on December 22, 2002, 09:35:00 PM
I am unsure why you think you have to update to the EvoX 2.6 bios and what that has to do with live? You cannot play LIVE with the mod ON! As for installing LIVE, it will erase almost all files from the C: and leave an updated dashboard called "xboxdash.xbe" as the main dasboard. If your EvoX is called "evoxdash.xbe" or "yboxdash.xbe" you will be OK provided that your Bios/Mod chip boots from those files first, rather than "xboxdash.xbe" (BTW, EvoX 2.6 bios will look for "evoxdash.xbe") Please read a little more in the FAQ and the LIVE forum before you attempt this if anythnig is unclear. Good luck! Post by: torbotek on December 22, 2002, 09:46:00 PM i tried using the msxboxdash you have on your cd c:\system/retail... but to no avail! I also made sure the .ini points to msxdash.xbe and still no go for the msdash... any more suggestions.??? Im using matrix and is set at 3.... any comments and suggestions on how to make this thing work is highly appreciated.... Post by: SlaYer on December 22, 2002, 10:33:00 PM
Yes, you can customize the installer to suit your needs... Just add another complete folder under the Apps folder at the same level as the others. It will be installed along with them. Alternatively if you do not want something installed just remove the folder for that program from the Apps folder but do not touch the Apps folder itself. Also, if you REMOVE something make sure to fix the evox.ini files in both the RETAIL and LARGE folders since the link will now be broken. Enjoy! P.S. Please remeber that these kind of questions should be posted and not emailed so everyone can be helped by the answers.

Yes. This installer is absolutely the best. Now, if only I can figure out how to play VCDs from disc, I can get rid of my Apex! Post by: gmoneypro on December 23, 2002, 04:00:00 PM Post by: SlaYer on December 23, 2002, 05:27:00 PM
Just boot with my Auto Installer and in one button press your brand new HD becomes a fully configured and upgraded XBOX HD with all the apps pre-installed! YEAH! Post by: SlaYer on December 23, 2002, 05:30:00 PM
Actually the XBMP2 included and installed by my Auto-Installer does support VCD's. You might however have to grab the latest "default.xbe" main file for it from the newsgroups. Latest is 12-23-02! Sorry, but no new release till after nexGen and ConfigMagic come out....
Post by: SlaYer on December 23, 2002, 05:41:00 PM
The Installer is meant to boot from CD-RW NOT the HD so it does not matter if you can boot from the HD or not! How would you be able to boot from a new HD? That's what the installer does, it makes your HD XBOX bootable...(among other things) Burn the files on your PC in UDF, or get the ISO version of the installer and make a CD-RW, boot and you're done! No mod chip blocks usage of the DVD drive! Make sure to use a CD-RW not a CDR! No excuses! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: groupdelayed on December 23, 2002, 07:46:00 PM I noticed I am using the same harddrive as you. Your utility worked great for getting the box up and running. I did do some mods to the evox.ini to better suit my preferences. My question is I cannot seem to lock the WD120(8MB) Harddrive using the utilities you provided on the AUto Installer and I don't really feel like ripping the harddrive out to lock it using the DOS utilities on my PC. Any suggestions? I guess I'll wait for ConfigMagic? Great Utility! Post by: SlaYer on December 23, 2002, 10:33:00 PM
That is indeed puzzling and I understand your frustration, but the fact that you cannot boot from CD-RW or DVD-R should not and has nothing to do with the HD. When the XBOX boots, it looks first for a disk in the DVD drive, more specific, for a "default.xbe" file in the root. If it finds it, ie a game or EvoX, it launches it. If there is none, then it looks on the HD for the dashboard. Based on what bios you got it will look for xboxdash.xbe, evoxdash.xbe, yboxdash.xbe, etc... You say you got a matrix mod. First, sorry to hear it but what bios did you flash on it? If you're still unable to boot from DVD, place a detailed descriptions in a new post / help message in the mod chips forum. I am sure there are a lot of people with the same chip that have probably already experienced and more than likely solved this problem. BTW, can you boot retail games from the DVD? Post all the simptoms in the mod chips forum! Best of luck! Post by: SlaYer on December 23, 2002, 10:44:00 PM
Well, if you cannot lock it it is more than likely that it does not allow that feature. Retail HD's are usually OK, however OEM versions and specifically those sold by DELL during their promotions cannot be locked. If you have a v1.0 xbox and cannot lock your HD with EEPromer 0.45 or newer, it is your HD that does not support that feature! ConfigMagic works the same as EEPromer 0.45, just has more options. If EEPromer cannot lock it, neither will ConfigMagic! Try another HD and you'll see it will work like a dream. Good luck! Post by: groupdelayed on December 23, 2002, 11:02:00 PM Unfortunately it is a retail version and not an OEM. What a bummer....I guess I'll have to use this drive in my PC instead.

Post by: precisionmods on December 24, 2002, 01:01:00 PM Other than that small bug, the utility disc is KICK A$$!! Thumbs up to you Slayer. I wonder how you get boXplorer to run from a script?? oblo, Just DL it from the link on Page 2 or 3 of this thread. Post by: SlaYer on December 24, 2002, 01:59:00 PM
kamz, the EEPromer 0.45 included in my toolkit uses the HD password that is PERMANENTLY stored in your XBOX, in a chip called the EEPROM. You can safely LOCK/UNLOCK a HD countless times, because it will just read the correct password form the EEPROM and LOCK/UNLOCK at will. There is no such thing as a "lost" password! However, if someone were to mess with the EEPROM and overwrite it with another one, the password will hence change and if the HD was locked prior to this "swap" it will remain locked and you will get an error. The ONLY way to get that HD unlocked is to restore a backup of the original EEPROM configuration. Without it the HD is toast. As I state clearly, I did not write this tool, however I have used it extensively without any ill effects, but if you think you have found a bug, I strongly recommend you post in the "Software Development" forums asking Superfr0 for assistance with his tool. Also, most mod chips could care less if the HD was locked or not, especially those that support HD upgrades like Xecuter1 and newer. So if your HD is not accessible and you swear you did not screw with your EEPROM, you could have a bad HD, period. Best of luck! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 24, 2002, 02:09:00 PM
There are slight discrepancies on the dashboard versions and that is why I have used the one from my xbox a 4034. I did notice that some Xboxes complain but a very limited number. It seems to be the most compatible and generic of all. As I made it perfectly clear, no one should use this toolkit without a backup. If anyone screws up they xbox because of it, they better have a backup. This rule applies to anything computer related so everyone shuld be familiar with the backup rule by now...  Thanks for the praise though precisionmods, I apprecaite it. Check back here soon for news on the new release after new years. 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 25, 2002, 01:04:00 AM

Post by: theziggens on December 25, 2002, 02:23:00 PM I have read, and followed the tutorials to a T, as far as burning ISO's in Nero, but it won't work whatever I do. Would now be a good time to try the DVD 'pot tweak'? I'm pretty sure my Executer2 Lite is working, cos the normal games play fine, and it says Executer at the bottom of the screen on boot up, but when I put in the Slayer iso disk, it goes to the error every time. I plan on trying different media as well, but it'll be a couple 'o days till I can hit the store. Thanks!

pico, Let me guess, you got a Maxtor, right? Well for some dumb reason, Maxtor's ship from the factory with a size limitation jumper set. Remove the jumper and properly set the drive as the Master and reformat and you will get your space!! Stupid Maxtors. That's why I can't stand them. Western Digital all the way! Post by: rustyself on December 26, 2002, 11:00:00 PM i cannot boot to my ms dash. i get error21 and flashing red/green led. i hear it has something to do with my evox.ini. is there anyway to edit the .ini, make another slayer iso with that .ini, and put it in my machine and let it redo my hdd? i do not have an ftp setup with my box, and (DOH!) i didnt back up my drive prior to installation. if i unplug my box, or the power goes out, and the clock is reset, how will i adjust the time so my box will work, if i cant get into my ms dash? am i fuxored? thanks for everyones help on this, rusty Post by: rustyself on December 27, 2002, 12:22:00 AM now, heres the question: i have 2 or three different ms dash versions. can i replace the msxdash file on the slayer disc to one of those, reinstall the slayer disc, and trial and error it till i get the correct version? Post by: SlaYer on December 27, 2002, 12:40:00 AM It is due to the version of dashboard included with my installer and the kernel version of some user's xbox (embedded in their EEPROM) There are 5 kernel versions for the xbox 1.0 : 3944, 4034, 4036, 4039 and 4627 For reference the v1.1 xbox has kernel versions 4817 or 4972 My installer comes with the MS Dashboard for Version 4036 because it seems to be the most popular and works with most consoles. Not only do I not have access to ALL versions but creating an installer with so many options would confuse the heck out of everyone. I encountered this problem while changing the EEPROM on an xbox and noticed the M$ Dashboard did not work after the update. If you experience Error 21 after rebuilding your HD with the Auto-Installer, you should try to get another version of the M$ dashboard and overwrite the one in the (C:) drive on your XBOX. (there are plenty of tutorials on evox and FTP!) If someone has ALL the dashboards it would be nice if they could RAR them up and post them on Newsgroups. I would then include them in a folder on the next release of my Auto-Installer so that you can quickly recover. Please do not upload ALL the files in the (C:) drive, just the M$ dashboard labeled correctly. I cannot stress this enough: ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL XBOX HD BEFORE CHANGING ANYTHING!!! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: rustyself on December 27, 2002, 01:45:00 AM heres the ones ive tried so far:1,396,736 bytes, 1,394,036 bytes, 1,336,464 bytes. none of them are hip to my box. will someone pm me with the other 2? or email? [email protected] thank you in advance. Post by: rustyself on December 27, 2002, 01:50:00 AM spoke too soon on the last one i tried. it worked! akk i did was replace the msxdashboard.xbe on the slayer iso with another one i got off easynews. im in business baby! trial and error works!

kamz, sounds like you're having some problems with your CD-RW media, if you cannot boot from my CD again to LOCK/UNLOCK your HD. My toolkit and the Eepromer 0.45 do not change your EEPROM whatsoever unless you manually FTP an eeprom.bin file to your (Z:) drive on your xbox and force the EEpromer to erase your current one and program the new one. As such, locking/unlocking does not make any permanent and irreversible changes. If however you've found a flaw in the EEpromer tool you should report it. For now, try different CD-RW media to boot the Auto-Installer and run EEpromer from and just lock your HD again! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 27, 2002, 04:21:00 PM
Read my replyes to kamz! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: erexx on December 27, 2002, 05:09:00 PM I *thought* that would be and is a problem. The M$ dash.xbe must be the same kernal version of the Xbox with "some" exceptions. Nice work 1wolf1. This was a point of concern in these forums awhile back. I tried to build a "universal" recovery disk using the EvoXHD installer but quickly ran into this problem with between a 3944 and a 4034 xbox. I though that it had something to do with the xboxdash.xbe version because there were so many folks deleting their original dash's and requesting new ones. Often the same user would come back and state that the new dashboard file they tracked down did not work. Post by: TedAppleberry on December 27, 2002, 05:50:00 PM
OK, so am I just screwed then? I still have the original HD which has not been overwritted? I did not lock\unlock the drive at all I only ran the epprommer program. Do I take this whole XBOX and chip out to the street and drive over it repeatedly? I realy hope now, can't afford a new one anytime soon
Post by: TedAppleberry on December 27, 2002, 08:13:00 PM
This is exactly what I did. I took the BIOS I wanted to flash my Matrix with, copied it to the Z drive. The eeprommer program found it, loaded it, verified it. I rebooted, now I have nothing. Blue screen with our without mod.
Post by: Pizza Pizz on December 27, 2002, 09:09:00 PM Made the usual mistake of not backing up my original dashboard - oops - but got it sorted in the end..... Realised that my messiah-x wasn't gonna let me use a bigger h/d but did the 2 jumper points when mod was installed. Had better luck with dvd-r as opposed to cd-rw and in the end used both slayer's disc and evolution 1.8458 both on dvd-r (worth it cos they both booted fine everytime) used the 1.8458 to get xbox linked to pc with no real hassle, put the msdashboard back on - rebooted - phew the dash i got seemed to work - was a tad worried but live and learn as they say ok - back to ftp - hmm - ok well got the evolution flash bin file sitting on my xbox's c drive.... re-read all the info I could find - ok here goes and executed the raw flash fxp command.... jeez it may just have worked - tray can open now without the reset, shut xbox off - in goes a bigger h/d - no more error screens did think about removing messiah-x but it can stay in there for a while.... ok back to rebuilding the bigger h/d - got the proper msdashboard on my pc's h/d still so go for it.... re ftp the old dash back over - reboot - yup all working now there's a 120gb Western Digital in there all ready to go..... even just using it on the old standard h/d it is a brilliant utility saved a lot of time indeed - fanx 1,000,000 Post by: SlaYer on December 27, 2002, 11:49:00 PM
Good job and congrats. I hate to say it but it seems like you like to "tinker" with your xbox and I would highly recommend upgrading the Messiah to an LPC mod that will allow you to use a large HD. It makes a world of difference! Glad you've had a positive experience! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 27, 2002, 11:57:00 PM
You are obviousely confusing the BIOS with the EEPROM. The EEPromer tool only backs-up/flashes the EEPROM and does not touch the BIOS. If you've flashed your EEPROM and do not have a backup of your original "eeprom.bin" file or another valid "eeprom.bin" file you're toast! If you do find a valid "eeprom.bin" file you'll need to do the following: 1) SOLDER on a programmable LPC mod (X2 or BioXX) 2) Program it with the Complex Debug BIOS v1.03 (1MB in size!) 3) Boot with my Auto-Installer and via FTP copy a valid "eeprom.bin" file to the (Z:) drive. ( Or use the ConfigMagic tool from Team Assembly ) 4) Restore your original/or a good EEPROM to your XBOX, remove the LPC modchip and boot normally. Good Luck! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: n1pper_ on December 28, 2002, 03:26:00 AM also in my zip the two pdf files are corupt can some one send pm the pdf files please... cheers and well done to all who helped on this too
Post by: SlaYer on December 28, 2002, 04:07:00 AM
Sure can, when it boots up it allows you to FTP. The IP address appears on screen. However some people's networks were a little different than mine so I made a DHCP version that uses whatever IP your network will assign.Either way, you can FTP to your XBOX by booting with my Installer CD. 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: SlaYer on December 28, 2002, 04:10:00 AM
AGAIN, the EEpromer program only changes your EEPROM, NOT your BIOS. If you messed your EEPROM up and have no backup or a valid "eeprom.bin" file from a friend, you're toast! Last hope would be for someone here to give/sell you theirs or a spare "eeprom.bin" file from a box they modded. Ask around, you never know. Good luck! 1wolf1 a.k.a SlaYer Post by: TedAppleberry on December 28, 2002, 08:07:00 AM
Well, I am not a total idiot I did actually back up before overwriting with the eeprommer tool, so I assume I have a valid eeprom.bin?Thanks, jp Post by: SlaYer on January 03, 2003, 04:35:00 PM
I thought I made it perfectly clear that the installer v1.5 does NOT support v1.1 xboxes. V2.0 will and it's coming out soon! In any case, wait for the v2.0 as it will probably be able to fix your box with a M$ Dash patch. BTW, what are your K: D: Values in the M$ Dash under System Info? Post by: Jupter on January 03, 2003, 04:48:00 PM I've already sent my kernel but here it again Pal v1.1 K 1.00.4817.01 D 1.00.4817.01 Its just this is a disc with 2 games on it , I was wondering if they boot/cache any different to single one's. When I select a game it say's loading and thats it . But halo is quick as yer like and I thought it may be because the cached files on the drive are halo files. Post by: SlaYer on January 03, 2003, 06:34:00 PM
Great, well there is full support for 4817 in the v2.0 installer so you'll be fine. just back that HD up to your PC before you use it!

A few days.... The scripting is done and is being tested now, however I am still working on some graphics.. Also, if I see any more pathetic posts or PM's asking for it and saying they cannot find it, I will make sure no one will get it and I will NEVER release anything again or provide support it. People HAVE to understand that it is against the forum rules to ask for links to software. As simple as that. I do not want the topic deleted by a moderator because people asked for or posted links! The purpose of the forum is to discuss the toolkit, not hand it to users on a platter. If people are not capable of finding it on their own, then they should not be using it as it will probably destroy their xbox and they will be back here 10 minutes later crying and saying they "forgot" to make a backup. Please do not get me wrong a0lsux, nothing against you, you just asked when it's coming out. I'm, just fed up with nobody bothering to read anything. Post by: optical on January 04, 2003, 05:02:00 PM Except when i tried to switch to MS dash from Evox (to change time and date setting's) i recieved an error 21. I'm guessing that is because i havent locked my new harddrive yet. I will lock it tonight and report my result's back if anyone is interested.Also , i suggest anybody who is attempting to use Slayer's 1.5 installer on a v1.1 xbox you should try this with a new harddrive , leaving your original xbox harddrive untouched and....

Dont lock your drive on the 1.1 From what I understand it will make the hd useless. I just did my upgrade using slayer last night and what I did was take the orig xboxdash.xbe and ftp it to c: then copied it to msxboxdash.xbe and ftp that as well to the c:. It took care of my error 21. Netman Post by: optical on January 04, 2003, 08:47:00 PM
Oh yeah i forgot to mention , i renamed my "RETAIL" xboxdash.xbe to msxboxdash.xbe before i ftp'ed it back. So it seems that i have already done this netman , correct ? Well... locking the harddrive on a v1.1 ? I have read that it is possible in another forum. Can anyone verify to me that what netman say's is true before i go on ? Actually , let me be clear on this. The only time i get ERROR 21 is when i go to MS Dash with Modchip Bios enabled. I can reboot back into MS bios for original games perfectly. Thanks, optical P.S. s113 , Im pretty sure these are my Kernel and Dashboard version's. Right now i have it apart because i'm going to lock my HD if someone verifies that it can be done to a v1.1 xbox(according to the tutorial on the front page of this forum).

You got it, just make sure your full backup is succesful before choosing to rebuild the large HD! Enjoy and please post your feedbacks here! Post by: Pizza Pizz on January 05, 2003, 06:23:00 AM Be careful about locking ya h/d. I have fitted a 120gb to mine and left it for the moment unlocked coz I ain't worried about xbox live. If you lock it and lose the unlock serial then you could be a bit screwed if ya xbox blows up... I have unlocked my old h/d drive so I can use it another xbox or pc even but for now gonna leave my 120gb as it is Unless someone knows a proper working utility that will unlock xbox drives without the xbox it came out of ?????? Post by: SlaYer on January 05, 2003, 02:10:00 PM
If you've used an upgraded HD the F: drive is then used for applications and games. The tool is called Px HDD Loader v1.0a and it creates a folder on the F: drive called "f:\hddloader" Under this folder it creates a series of subfolders called PxGame0...PxGame99 or whatever and copies a game from CD/DVD there. If you want to FTP a game in you need to create a new folder called PxGameXX, where the "XX" is the next number in the existing series. So if there is already 3 games then the folders will be PxGame0, PxGame1,PxGame2 and you will create PxGame3, got it? Just FTP the contents of the CD/DVD to that folder and both EvoX and the PX HDD Loader tool will see it properly. Have fun! SlaYer Post by: Fatlab on January 05, 2003, 03:07:00 PM (based of SlaYer's, optical's and Netman's recent posts). 1. Modded 1.1 Xbox, Evox D.6 bios with virgin drive, back up all partitions. 2. Replace original drive with new drive and boot 1.5 installer 3. Run the option to setup the new disk. additional steps over 1.0 box 4. ftp back from PC/backup default.xip as default.xip Memory2.xip as Memory2.xip xboxdash.xbe renamed as msxboxdash.xbe Will this do the trick or does this mean I would still get the Error 21 message when trying to access the original MS dashboard from EvolutionX menu?

Post by: Netman on January 05, 2003, 07:20:00 PM Do I need to modify my evox.ini? Netman Post by: optical on January 05, 2003, 08:41:00 PM
Pretty much. here's what you do, on a modded v1.1 xbox, run a Evo-x boot ISO. Backup your whole original MS xbox HD with FlashFXP FTP. Then , install your new HD and run slayer's installer. Once that is done, FTP the three files default.xip, memory2.xip and xboxdash.xbe renamed to msxboxdash.xbe. Also, if your original HD had "xboxdashdata. 10027100" and "xodash" folder's in your C drive you should FTP them also, in the xodash folder rename xonlinedash.xbe to msxonlinedash.xbe and and add your Evo-x xboxdash.xbe renamed to xonlinedash.xbe in the "xodash" folder as well. Plus you should delete the update.xbe file in the "xodash" folder AND....Last but not least , in your Evox.ini file in the area at the bottom Titled "Section Root" you need to add this with all the other items ; Item "MS Xbox Live","c:\xodash\msxonlinedash.xbe" After all this is done you will be able to select MS dash and it will take you to your MS dash. When in MS dash you will be able to select your Evox dash by selecting Xbox live Pretty cool huh?
Post by: Fatlab on January 06, 2003, 12:28:00 AM Thanks for the clarification, that's just what I needed to know. I assume the 'xboxdashdata' stuff is related to Xbox live? If so it's irrelevant to me as ISDN is the best I can get. I have read that certain games like splinter cell copy over update.xbe. Do they only do that if Live is installed? Finally, to complete the last part of the puzzle, do I only need to lock the HD if I intend to boot virgin bios without the mod chip installed? Fatlab Post by: Netman on January 06, 2003, 07:17:00 AM I have the x 2 lite. Netman Post by: Netman on January 06, 2003, 08:31:00 AM Make sure you backup your old hd first. You will need to restore c and e when you are all done. Netman Post by: john316 on January 06, 2003, 11:06:00 AM Post by: optical on January 06, 2003, 11:30:00 AM
No, they only do that if live is'nt installed. I think the update.xbe is'nt needed once live is installed afterword's. I'm not totally sure about locking the HD and booting a virgin BIOS as i have not done it yet. But...I can play original games with my modchip disabled on MS dash with no problem's. I believe(not sure) that the only time a non-locked HD will give you problem's would be with xbox live. Post by: SlaYer on January 06, 2003, 12:05:00 PM
YES it will work, you are correct. The trick is just getting the 3 files for the M$ Dash back on. Version 2.0 coming out this week will support both. The V1.1 support is from M$ Dash 4817. If you have a different Dash for your v1.1 xbox, please PM me so I can add it to the installer before I release. Remember it's the D:# not the K:# that matters from System Info. Post by: SlaYer on January 06, 2003, 12:10:00 PM
You are 90% correct. You can boot with my installer CD but before doing anything, back up the original HD to your PC via FTP. there are plenty of tutorials on this. Once you have a good backup on your PC you can replace the HD and actaully "run" the installer. You'll be fine. Also, remember that if it's a v1.1 or a rare v1.0 you might get error 21 when launching the M$ dash. To fix that if it ever happends just wait for my v2.0 installer to be released later this week. Good luck! Post by: Netman on January 06, 2003, 01:15:00 PM How about adding this to the evox.ini file so we can flash out chip bios. Item "Flash BIOS",@1 This was the one piece to the puzzle I was missing. Thanks, Netman Post by: optical on January 06, 2003, 01:22:00 PM

A few days.... The scripting is done and is being tested now, however I am still working on some graphics.. Also, if I see any more pathetic posts or PM's asking for it and saying they cannot find it, I will make sure no one will get it and I will NEVER release anything again or provide support it.

Post by: Netman on January 06, 2003, 07:53:00 PM Here are a couple more ROM lines for the x2 colored Bios.

Booting is booting. For me, i first installed my new 80hd, booted up evo x cd, chose the retail hdd option, wait for it to finish, and then restarted.Then booted the evolution 1.8.3825 WITHOUT THE CD, meaning that it's fully installed. if you want to keep the original hdd, i dont know how to configure that. But if you plan to install a new hdd, then follow my steps. Post by: mgf909 on January 06, 2003, 10:46:00 PM Ive read this entire thread and havent seen this exactly confirmed ( dccd's post came close however) I have a UK XBOX v1 with Xecuter1.1 modchip. Its currently runnning EvoX dashboard and standard hdd, onto which i have ftp'ed a few backups. From the Xbox-scene mod chip comparison page, it says that my Xecuter v1.1 will not support upgrading the HDD... My question is this: Does Slayers toolkit get around this by allowing me to flash the Xbox retail bios with an EvoX bios, hence allowing upgraded HDD to work? If so do i then "disable" my Xecuter chip? Thanks in advance, mgf909 Post by: gmoneypro on January 07, 2003, 12:53:00 AM
I tried that and it didn't work for me. I just wont got another modchip like X2lite. Post by: SlaYer on January 07, 2003, 08:45:00 AM
Already done in v2.0 coming out soon....
Post by: SlaYer on January 07, 2003, 08:50:00 AM
No, simmilar functionality (at least in v1.5) but a lot easier to use than the one you reference. Version 2.0 has a LOT more functionality and supports both v1.0 and v1.1 xboxes. It will be out soon... Post by: SlaYer on January 07, 2003, 08:55:00 AM
NO, the backup of your retail HD is to protect you in case you get errors after using the SlaYer Installer. My installer contains ALL the files needed to build a HD from scratch, however there are a lot of different versions of xboxes and not all all identical. As such I cannot cover them all. Having a backup will allow you to restore your original M$ Dashbaord for example if you get error 21 after the install. Also, all your save game progress data resides in E: so I am sure you'd want that backed up. Lastly, once you remove the retail HD from the XBOX you cannot access it in a PC unless you unlock it first. and even then you willl have to reformat it as it is incompatible with PC Operating Systems. So you MUST use FTP to get your adata out first. PLEASE read all the posts in this thread BEFORE attempting to use the installer. Almost all possible issues have been covered already. Good Luck! Post by: SlaYer on January 07, 2003, 09:01:00 AM
There are several tutorials on flashing the on board bios of your XBOX, called a TSOP, but they require you to bridge 2 points on the motherbaord, one in the back and one on top. This is not for the faint of heart The Xecuter 1.0 or 1.1 however are LPC mods and do not allow you access to the TSOP so you can flash it. Best bet is to get a BioXX or X2Lite, since both can be programmed v easy. Personally I found the BioXX easier to use. Post by: awbassett1 on January 07, 2003, 09:36:00 AM Post by: dccb on January 07, 2003, 09:46:00 AM what I asking is that if my install didn't went well, can I put my original HD back to get every thing back to normal?????? Post by: SlaYer on January 07, 2003, 01:08:00 PM
Yes provided this is compatible: Flash = 0xbf61,"SST - 49LF020",0x40000 Post by: SlaYer on January 07, 2003, 01:10:00 PM
Of course. Just make sure that you do not modify your BIOS or EEPROM. All other modifications are made only to the files on the HD, so installing your old HD back will work just fine! Post by: dccb on January 07, 2003, 03:09:00 PM Post by: darvocet on January 07, 2003, 04:14:00 PM Is there a dashboard that let's me select 'play game' as opposed to having to turn the xbox off and then turn it on each time I want to play a game? I can't find it amongst Slayer's installer. Post by: aaron1974 on January 07, 2003, 04:44:00 PM man i must say that it some impressive work u have done there with the slayer installer,i installed an 80gig drive and all seemd to go well untill i clicked to goto the m$dash and got the service error screen,so just copied the original m$dash(alwayz got a backup) and happy dayz,all seems to be workin now with the dash etc..... but 1 thing i did notice was that when using xbcopy it said the games was copied to e: but it dont show in the menu as a game on the hdd,so i used xboplorer to search e: and found it there,clicked on the xbe. file and the game loaded.....so i thought maybe it was ment to be on f: so i deleted the game and dumpt it to f and same result...didnt show as a game on the hdd in the menu but it however was on the drive......so i deleted the game again and used the hdd loaded and bingo...the games was now showin in the menu as a game on the drive.....so i was woundering y xbcopy doesnt show the games as playable frm the drive as in not showin in the menu section but yet the hdd loader does,is it just a matter of redoin the ini file to make xbcopy point to the drive or???? and i was woundering if u where goin to add emu's or other goodies in the v2 of the installer and if not is it easy to just add the correct folders,set it up in the ini file and happy dayz or not????? thanks again to the LEGEND that made this disk.....cutto's to u and all ur hard work,outstandin just outstanding,lookin forward to the new release(upgrade with 80 was a buddys box,mine is v1.1 box so i waitin patiently for v2 installer) Post by: aaron1974 on January 07, 2003, 05:01:00 PM http://www.filetopia.info (homepage) http://www.filetopia...ages/ftop21.zip (filetopia p2p program) just install filetopia,get the channel list and click on us(we in the blue section at the top)and come and get the installer and enjoy the outstanding work that this is just outstanding......absolutly outstanding.....dont missout ppls,u will kick ya selves Post by: Colonel32 on January 07, 2003, 06:23:00 PM Also, wondering if the new vers of the slayer install will also have fixed ip and dhcp vers like the previous ver.thanks slayer- dave(colonel32)

Hmmmm, I guesss you did not even read the first paragraph of the features liste on the FIRST page/Post on this thread... hmm...
Post by: SlaYer on January 08, 2003, 12:06:00 AM
Thank you but you "ain't seen nothing yet" Version 2.0 is a massive improvement and will be out very very shortly... Unfortunately I will not be adding emulator support as it will make the installer too big and harder to download. As it stands it's over 61MB with MAX compression and over 175MB as an ISO Post by: Agisthos on January 08, 2003, 04:46:00 AM A problem or two.... When I try to go into xbox menu settings through evo it goes to a flickering ntsc screen (this is a pal xbox) and the hd led is just flashing red/green. Also is there any way to play dvd movies without the DVDX2 ? I already have a dvd remote, but with DVDX2 the remote is disabled. This is the most stupid one, how do I just boot back to the original Xbox dash?

ROM These define different BIOS versions and their CRC (Cyclical Redundancy Check for verification and the like [and that is as technical as I am getting on the subject]). The structure is as follows: ROM = , example: ROM = "EvoX 2.0",0x76fd88337b8d8c1f116f85f3984b98b6 Flash Similar to the ROM parameter but this defines flash parts so these can be displayed as well. The structure is as follows: Flash = (TBD),"", example: Flash = 0x01d5,"AMD - Am29F080B",0x100000 Current Simply used to tell EvoX which version your BIOS is for display purposes. BIOS and information about the ROM files available for flashing. Sourse:EvoX.ini explained SS113 Post by: SS113 on January 09, 2003, 05:55:00 PM
YES The tool will format the drive and create the directories it needs for the install, hdprepair will have no affect on it. Just install the drive in the Xbox and run the tool. If you are not in a big hurry to do this right away, V2.0 of the installer will be out shortly. Features are more defined and strait forward. I personally recommend you wait for V2.0 of the installer.

"NO" You must use FTP to copy off the files to your PC. The installer has no place to copy files to because the drive will be formated prior to install. You need to back up at least C: and E: I suggest all of them should be backed up.

Unfortunately, NO. It is against the most basic rule of the forum. You do not want them to get shut down, do you? Because that is what will happen if they have links to stuff like this. As for v1.5 being a work of art, thanks, but brace yourself and call me Michelangelo cause you'll be blown away by v2.0 Check it out, through thye link below, and if you read carefuly though both my initial post and some of the early follow-ups you'll be able to get software to locate it quickly.
