new bios can load evox before m$dash you don't need to rename original one leve it name xboxdash.xbe just only rename evox (defult.xbe ) to evoxdash.xbe that's all

yeah your box wont boot to your m$ dash because its named wrong, rename it as such: xboxdash.xbe, just like it was before you touched it. And thats really it, just rename your evox dashboard to evoxdash.xbe, any of the later bioses will boot dashboards in an order, and the evoxdash.xbe is higher on the list than xboxdash.xbe. Try just renaming it.

if you do have a toasted ms dashboard.. how do you get it back?

i think the new bios just doesn't work with mods, so it gives error 21 when you try to run it. so even if it didn't download over your evox (which was named msdash or whatever) you would not be able to run it anymore.

apparently slayers has the option to rebuild the retail HD which does include the older dash version which still runs on modded boxes. i haven't tried it but when i get slayers i will just copy the dash file by itself so i don't disturb the rest of my current configuration. no sense in asking for trouble!

Wait, so let me get this straight. If you are not connected to Live, then your Xbox can't get nuked?

I ran the update dashboard on one of my games and since then my chip hasn't work, boot disc won't work, ftp won't work, and just about everything good about my xbox went to shit. Does anybody know if a way to fix this problem. I have the original dashboard saved on my computer and another one that goes by the name evox something:). Do i need to just buy a new xbox, or is there a way to change thedashboard back?

Why did this thread die?
I have found this file (update.xbe) also on NFL2K3.
Does it only destroy your dashboard if it isn't the original ms dashboard?

MechAssault has the files: update.xbe
dashupdate.xbe
Are both of these files the ones I should be on the look at for? Or is it just the update.xbe file?
If the culprit file is removed, will the back-up ,then be safe, and will it be playable?
If the original game containing the bad file is played, will it also Nuke the dashboard, or does the nuking only happen with the back-up?
Thanx...

So how would one go about ensuring this never happens?

Just delete the update.xbe file?

YUP!

Remove the UPDATE.XBE. There are other files you can remove to protect yourself from this.

Do a search!

However.. simply having these UPDATe files still on your RETAIL GAMES, BACKUP GAMES on DISK, or BACKUPS on the HD will not screw you up!

Only activating the GO LIVE feature, or activating optional DOWNLOAD options like go online and get more MAPS, TEXTURES, etc. will cause you to ruin a standard install of EVOC on the C drive using older method of EVOX install.

These days.. Ideally.. you may want to consider new BIOS options.. like renamed DASHBOARDS, or F BOOT options. Both can help protect you from grief cause by accidental LIVE updates to dashboards.

For more info.. read OTHER FAQ's, and search on topics using the following terms..

LIVE
UPDATE

also read any guides and tutorials about BIOS upgrades., and EVOX installs to F drive!

Please.. no MORE replies to this thread in FAQ!
