If you are struggling with evox to flash get hold of Eurasia and boot from a eurasia Flash disc the process is automatic this way, it even opens the DVD tray for you and shuts it.
You will need to put your bios on to a seperate disc and make sure it 512K and named bios.bin

so
how do i edit the bios thats on the chip (get rid of teh start up animation)

Try my HackDaBox DuoX2 Reflash Cd as it can flash the new X2 5035 bios for you but i do not suggest anyone flash a lite with this bios as it's safer if you can flick the bank switch and recover. If you can do a hotswap easily then go ahead.

the reason why i want to change it is because the bios is making avalaunch think the xbox is a 1.6 when its a 1.4
so it doesnt show teh right temps

Doesn't the lite only have one 512k bank regardless of what bios is going on?
Yes it does but what Hack is saying is its safer on a duox 2 with the extra bank. he is not saying there is a switch on the lite version, just warning that using this bios on a lite and run into problems and there is no recovery other than hotswap, thats why he said he did not suggest flashing with that bios

Again you seem to single out that bios
Aren't all 512k bios the same and isn't one bank the same? Sure some are mirrored 256k X 2 but the size and flash is the same. Also doesn't the X2503x bios have it's own unique recovery sytem where all you do is flash it right and any ini problems are recoverable? Doesn't that make it safer for a single bank chip that holds 2 x 256k but allows access to only one of them anyway, how are you better off with that bad flash?

Ermm thats the whole point if the flash stuffs there is no recovery. If the flash works all well and good but if the person flashing makes an error then the chip has to be hotswapped. This bios can not be flashed to 256K bank anyway. This version is not a mirrored 256K, it needs a single 512K bank.
Being able to boot from bad config live file and recover is not the same thing as recovering a bad flash so there is no built in recovery for that.
