Title: About The 007 Evox Hack
Post by: Keito-Kun on January 30, 2004, 01:01:00 PM
i installed evox using the 007_With_Evox_Installer &  bert and ernie on a friends xbox today, and i've got a few questions about it. followed this guide...

Is it possible to just replace the EvoX version that came with the 007 installer with the newest version?
What does the bert and ernie exploit do?
Do i have to solder if i wanna flash with a new bios?
are there any better ways to sign xbe's than signing each manually, or any exploit that removes the protection?

You can upgrade to the newest Evolution-X by replacing the correct files (Evoxdash.xbe & evox.ini). Bert & Ernie basically take advantage of overflows and allow you to run unsigned code. If you want to flash your TSOP, you will have to connect the points some how (It could be with solder, conductive ink, etc). If you use the Phoenix Bios Loader 1.3.5i with the x2-4981 BFM bios, you won't have to flash your TSOP and you can run unsigned code. smile.gif

Really? I have to sign my xbe's before they work...

Guess i gotta take a closer look on pbl, then.

Thanks for the answers.

Maybe I shouldn't have phrased it like that. They basically allow you to run code (You have to sign it with xbedump), unless you use PBL. You sign PBL with -font and then have it load up some bios that will allow you to run unsigned code. It really all comes down to the bios. Sorry for the confusion.  sad.gif

Ah, thanks for explaining.
Phoenix Bios Loader doesn't seem too hard, i'll try it on my friends 'box tomorrow.  wink.gif

I was wondering about one more thing.
after i exploited the xbox, xboxdash doesn't work anymore. is it possible to copy all xboxdash-files to E:Appsxboxdash (or C:xboxdash) and run it there?

What do you mean doesn't work? If you are using Evolution-X, you may have to hex edit it... Did you rename the dash from xboxdash.xbe to something else? If so, you need to adjust that in the evox.ini. Let me know. Thanks

the phoenix loader works like a dream. smile.gif

I didn't rename the dash, but I've tried to copy it as msdash.xbe and link to it in the ini, but it only re-set's the xbox. is that because of the font hack?
btw, ernie and bert is kinda creepy if your xbox gets unplugged.
could i just switch over to an audio hack instead, and are there any problems with it?

You can switch over to the audio hack. Just follow the tutorial and you'll be all set. Make sure you put the original fonts back on and delete the bert & ernie. You don't have to worry about the clock reset/loop in the audio hack because you manually have to boot the hack (You must enter in a key sequence). I recommend you try Mordens Audio Hack V3. smile.gif
