the x2 4981.06 should come as a .bin file , otherwise I don't think xbtool can open it.
I don't know about the AID3 thing, but try some shearch on google. It is always a good idea. Or wait until a pro answers (chancer?
)
1. Don't use a BFM Bios.
2. X2_5035 is the latest BIOS from TeamXecuter and it works great.
3. No matter which BIOS you choose to use, make sure it's 512K and the right version for your xbox.
4. You cannot use AID to initially flash your chip, but once the chip has been flashed via other means, you can use AID to re-flash the BIOS and install dasboards, apps, emulators, etc. . . .
X2_4981 is a bit older, but works just fine.
hi. im kinda new at this.
i just installed my new duox2 gs (cromwell edition) and i have no clue what to do now
when i boot with the switch to 0 it goes to linux startup screen, but if i start with the switch at 1 the screen is blank. do i have to resolder something? did i install it wrong? 
soooo sorry. i just saw the stickie at the top. sorry for that.
1.6 motherboard?
If so, you'll need to burn 2 discs to flash your chip.
1. Get Eurasia and burn to disc.
2. Burn another disc with your 5035 BIOS and a dummy file.
make sure the BIOS is in the root of the drive and is titled "bios.bin" (without the quotation marks).
Also make sure you have the correct BIOS file for your motherboard.
Boot your xbox with your chip on bank 0. Afterwards flip the switch to Bank 1 on the chip. From there, you'll use Eurasia first, and your BIOS disc second. Simply follow the on-screen instructions to flash via CD/DVD
i feel like such a dumass now. i did that, but i used a 4981 bios. now i get christmas lights. is there any way to use the mode 1 with out mode 0??
p.s. i only get christmas lights with the chip on and on mode 0
p.s.s. when i try to run the cd in mode 1, the light in the front goes orange, but still no video.
also, i think the xbox is a 1.5 or 1.6
