Get the bios from a reliable source. EVOX M7 was the least troublesome for me.
Make a BIO disk. Use Nero (read the tuts). Make sure you have julliet deslected, Burn and at once/9600 and Finalize the CD-RW. (don't forget to pad the disk, use the dummy file from ozxodus web site. )
Try diffrent CD-RW Media. Memorex seems to be the best bet.
Burn that sucka.
Okay, here's where I messed up. When you select the bank to flash and load from the D drive (which should have the BIOS.BIN on it). It says " File Loaded from CD"...then *Nothing*...I thought it had hung up and burned several disks, again and again, Why? Because I'm a Dumbass and didn't read the farken manual! After you get the message "File Loaded..." nothing happens. The next step is choose "Program Flash" from the previous menu and all is good.
Once you've done that, get a EVOX dash, EVOX INI..pack it into a ISO using Craxtion. Burn that (Nero, or Alcohol 120-worked best for me). Reboot with that in the drive and you should get the EVOX dash--along with FTP access.
Try Diffrent BIO's. Some might have been customized. Get a good copy. Use Xbox Tools to peek at the BIO. There's a setting that will tell you what dashboard the bios will look for when it loads. Its like a startup sequence..it'll look for D drive (your CD) first, then C Drive..etc. Make sure those synch up with what you actualy have, which may be diffrent from what tutorials you're reading.
EDIT: Did you upgrade to Xenium XOS 1.1? That should be the first step and it went flawlessly with me from reading the manuals on the website.

I might be able to help you out. I just installed a Xenium and got it down pretty good.

| OK, in a nutshell, this is how it goes. I got the newb manual mastertito4 put out, and went by the book on how to get Evox up and running. My first problem was that Craxtion won't work. It constantly gives the invalid arguments passed message, even though I used Solution.rar, it still doesn't work, tough it did once. At that time, I created an Iso file for Evox. I placed it in my box, and tried to flash the bank. I tried every size, and it kept saying it was improperly sized. So, I tried to load up cromwell instead. I had a number of people tell me that it wouldn't read the disc because it was a CD-RW, so I needed to try DVD R/RWs to get it to work, so I tried, no such luck. SO, right now I am trying to get Craxtion to work, to no avail, and I am trying to figure out which manual version I need, I don't know which one is right, because I don't think either have worked for me. *Sigh*, and thats about it. I think. |
Aren't you glad you decided to type something now?
People around here are helping!

Most of the Tutorials seems to expect your BIOS to look for the original xbox dashboard file..and tell you to rename that file to 'oldsomething'.
For me, I ingored the 'renaming dance' because EVOX M7 BIOS looks for evoxdash.xbe instead of original dashboard. So, you just need to FTP the evox dash and ini file to the C drive on the xbox and leave the orignal alone. Remember the ini file.
If you haven't looked at your BIOS with XBTOOLS, please do it. All becomes clear and you'll see some of the older are based on you (and the BIOS) not knowing the BIOS boot sequence.
