Help!

I just bought a usb port today, and was going to flash EvoX onto it. I was not aware that it already had bios on it.
I installed the solderless applicator today, so all I now have to do is pop the chip on top? I thought that I first had to flash the chip with different bios, and connect some stuff with 30gauge wire.....maybe not.

it comes witha legal bios called cromwell.
if u want to put another one on u can.. thats tottaly up to you and where u get it from.
and like i said b4 id leave the factory bios on it to c if the xchip is working 100% then u can do whatever u want.
what youll c if it was an succsefull install youll c a lil red led. that doesnt mean its working it means it getting 5v and ground.. also make sure the bluewire/programmer is facing the INSIDE of the xbox.

special thanks to pine16 and twisted.penguin for all the help!
ok so now more questions: when I start the xbox, the cromwell menu comes up. What do I do now? I have interest in backing up games, so does this mean that I have to install a different bios such as EvoX?
any additional help is appreciated!

and also, I am trying to flash the bios via the usb port. When I plug in the usb, nothing happens on my computer, no software attempts to become installed as it says in the guide. Any ideas as to why?
Post by: [email protected] on August 30, 2004, 04:58:00 PM
ok and about the it not picking up the usb..
what operating system u using?
and did u download the drivers?
and also have you followed the installation guide for the programmer?
Post by: schussey on August 30, 2004, 05:01:00 PM
it connected properly the first time, and the software install came up. But the usb came unplugged by accident. Now I can't get the software install to come back up
Post by: [email protected] on August 30, 2004, 05:04:00 PM
easy..
just plug it in to another usb port and its should start up.
if not just start the installing manualy
Post by: [email protected] on August 31, 2004, 05:34:00 PM
"and once I do get the usb working, could I just install evoX bios directly via usb instead of the other ones?"the answere is yes.
have you already tryed pluging it in to another usb port?
if u have it at doesnt work.
im going to have to think about it.. lol

When I start it, I get the typical xbox flash screen, with the evoX symbol next to it. (telling you to hold start for settings)
i still need a dashboard, and what other stuff do i need?
Post by: [email protected] on August 31, 2004, 06:04:00 PM
game backuping ect
Post by: schussey on August 31, 2004, 06:12:00 PM
first things first, how do I get my xbox to go straight to the evox menu on startup? As of right now, it goes to the typical xbox screen, when there is no disc in the tray. You know, settings, music, etc.
Post by: [email protected] on August 31, 2004, 06:20:00 PM
hook ur xchip back up to the usb and right click on the bank u added evox to then select boot then wright changes.
and ur done!

uhh im sorry can u be more spaicfic?like are u sure that the bios is working?
it goes right to the normal xbox screen? like music... memory... ect?
Post by: Grilf on September 02, 2004, 12:01:00 AM
If you already did, make sure that the dashboard XBE file is renamed to evoxdash.xbe (which is what the bios looks for)
Post by: schussey on September 02, 2004, 12:03:00 PM
If I do not push start, it will go straight to the xbox music, memory, etc.
Also, how do I get the dashboard? Do I burn it on a disc? or could I load it via the usb port on my xchip.
