I already softmodded my xbox using the disk hotswap method. xbmc is installed and it's great. Now I want to add a big hardrive, remove the dvd drive, and "slim" my case. Apparently, I need to flash my tsop to be able to do this. I have a 1.0 motherboard with an ST flash chip. I already bridged the 2 solder points as described everywhere on the tutorials and got my in-bios to flash.
But how do I flash it?!?!?! I don't have 007:AUF nor any games at all... my xbox was given to me by a friend who tought it was damaged. I know there are special programs to flash my tsop, but I can't find any guide at all on these forums.
Any suggestions?

Any suggestions for another bios are also welcomed.

Anyone knows why this might be happening? and how to solve it?
BTW... xbox buttons still work. When I open the dvd tray the indbios boot screen appears for a few seconds, but then it also goes black

Try adding the ind-bios.cfg to C:\ with correct paths; by booting from whatever game you softmodded with and FTPing OR using a bootdisk.

I may be joining you soon!!! Looking to move from the states to a more tranquil area without the weather patterns here. I will have to get used to more rain though. I live in a desert area.
Good luck with the TSOP. I have never done one, but have a few Xbox consoles to try it on. That is why I am following this post, learning all I can.

Flashing the tsop was extremely easy. Now that I know the correct process, it will probably only take me about 10 mins to do it again on another console. I'm just surprised there is not a single tutorial on how to do this other than with savegame hacks. I'll try to write a tutorial once this is complete (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Yes, I do see the flubber, and the white indbios "Xbox" screen. Then a "loading ind-bios" screen appears and finally it all goes black. From what I read so far over these forums it seems I need to specify my dashboard on the config settings.
So now I have to boot off a cd... check where is my xmbc default.xbe file located... and configure indbios to go there and place that indbios.cfg file on the c: drive... I reeeeeeeally hope this works.

You can take the default.xbe for xbmc and rename it to evoxdash.xbe then put the entire contents of the xbmc on the root of the C: you can also format C: before hand unless you want to use the MSdash for something but I think it will have to be reinstalled anyway

I REALLY want to thanks everyone over this forums for helping me solve this issue. I will stay around here and can only hope I may someday help a newbie the same way you guys helped me.
Now... off to install emulators! lololollol
