This tutorial is intended for UDE/UDE2/UXE users ONLY (relative paths), those users must use the pbl-metoo edition.
*Tips for new bios installation*
Always backup your old bios, i name it myself xboxrombcp.bin, so if it doesnt work pop in an exploitable game ftp in, and just delete the new one, rename your backup and that it
First you should get metoo-m8pack-v1.4.zip from xbins in /XBOX/exploits/Bios Patchers and Loaders/pblmetoo/ .
Secondly, Ftp in your xbox, go to e/biosld/ and rename the xboxrom.bin to xboxrombcp.bin
Now, pickup the M8_LBA48_IGR_Q-06-BFM.bin in your extracted folder of the m8 package, rename it to xboxrom.bin. Now open it up with evtool from the package metoo-m8pack-v1.4\evtool.
Now u see the red section, edit the first choice, click on the arrow to show up the e partition, and write in the box dashboard\default.xbe
That it, now just save and upload it to your box in the e/biosld/ folder, and that it
It should boot up correctly
If you got any problems just reply to this thread, and if admins could pin up this thread would be nice

| I did this exactly as stated and it booted to dash fine (xbmc) However, dash was unable to locate any xbe's ie. programs, backups. I was able to revert back to x2 bios thru reinstall of ltools. It seems like I am close but no cigar. Would the partition of the bios affect this problem. BTW old bios works fine on current system all xbe's accounted for so it should not be a dash problem?? did you mean to put the exclamation on the reanaming of directory for dash "dashboard\default.xbe !" |
I removed the exaclamation, and your problem seem a config file problem or you selected the wrong dash when editing with evtool, might me sumthing else but i highly doubt it.

A) XBMC Settings .. . Go to Settings My Files ->> And sure you are able SCAN.
1) Go back and scan your files. It should come up.
B)XBMC is picky, Change the install directory to E: instead of E:\Dashboard. <

| There are a couple of games that don't play nicely with any version of pbl.. IMO nkpatcher should be the bios loader on softmods.. You can always run PBL as an app if you want a specific feature.. |
then, is there a way to keep nkpatcher, but add something that allows me to press the buttons: select, start, right triger, left trigger, so that when i press those buttons it goes to evox? <

Or do you mean igr? If so, nkpatcher 7 supports igr, Live Blocking and lba48 support (although I'm not positive which partitioning scheme is used, I would guess its .06)..

2. In Notepad go to File=>Save as=>Under save as type select All Files and then type in the name you want to save but make sure it has .b64 (ex. nkpatcher.b64)
3. Open winzip or any program that can handle b64 file extension and open nkpatcher.b64 file. There should be a file call unknown.001.
4. Extract the "unknown.001" to a temporary directory
5. Use winrar to open unkown.001 and extract the file "unknown" to a temporary directory
6. Use winrar to open UNKNOWN.001.out (the "unkown"/file you got from step 5)
7. Finally you will see nkpatcher7 folder which is what you are looking for. Extract it to a temporary directory and do whatever you want to do with it.

Any suggestions?
Oh yeah, I'm also trying to do this with the new metoo-m8plus-v1.4.1.zip. I'm not sure if that is why or not.

First, get the "xboxrom.bin" from your E drive onto yor pc. Then run EVTool and open the file. Look at the field where it says 1st boot device. The original poster in this thread has highlited the area in red in a picture in his first post. Make a note of the path including the drive letter.
Now look in the M8 pachage you downloaded. There should be one or more files that end with .bin in it. Choose one of these. If there is more than one and you need help making the decision, consult the readme in the package. Rename this file to "xboxrom.bin".
Now open this newly renamed xboxrom.bin file in EVTool. Go back to that same field you noted before and alter it so that it matches the notes you took earlier. (judging from your setup, I suspect this will be "E:\default.xbe" but it's best to be sure). Save the file in EVTool.
Rename the "xboxrom.bin" file that is on your xbox's drive (it's on you E: drive in the spec you show) to some memorable name for backup purposes (for instance "xboxrom.bin~"). Now copy the "xboxrom.bin" file you've modified on your PC to the location where the old "xboxrom.bin" was (E:\xboxrom.bin).
Now power down and the power up your xbox. Hopefully you get back into your dash. This should be it.
If something goes wrong remember 2 things.
1 - caveat emptor and I'm not taking responsability
2 - you can use a gamesave exploit to get ftp access again, then delete "xboxrom.bin" and rename the backup you made (xboxrim.bin~ in my example) back to "xboxrom.bin" and everything should be back to exactly how it was before you mucked around with it.
Good luck

Where do I put this nkpatcher7 file on my xbox? Do I have to drop it under a certain file, or insert it into a certain folder on my xbox? THanks

can' help you there because different people customized their package so that it looks at some other location etc... if you assemble YOUR OWN (use the default location), nkpatcher will be put in xbox e and it will look for evoxdash.xbe in c:\. check my tutorial in my sig for info.

I am running "Ultimate Dashboard Exploit + PBL Metoo" on an Xbox V1.0, my dashboard is UnleashX. The file structure is not the same as Evox, so I'm asking you if I can update to M8 (the reason why I want to upgrade is right now I am not able to run a backup of DOAUltimate).
The C drive contains:
xboxdash.xbe (this one start UnleashX)
xboxdash_original.xbe (this one start MS Dashboard)
/fonts
...etc
The E drive contains:
/Systeme
The directory E:\Systeme contains:
/Dashboard
boot.cfg
PBL
Xbios.bin
And the directory E:\Systeme\Dashboard contains:
/Skins
Config.xml
Hackdash.xbe
items.xml
------------------
My question is: what file(s) I need to replace and/or edit ?
Thanks A LOT for your appreciated help.
Dan. (excuse my english)
