BloodbathG Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 hi, i have got my xbit 1.5 to work after 5 days messing with it i have loaded the iND-BiOS.Beta.Feb-11-05.67.bin (256k) and when i start the xbox i see a screen saying ind bios. but then it load to the standart dashboard with no new options. do i need now a hexen dvd and make a softmod to unlock everything? i thought when you dissable the modchip the xbox will start up in stock config, but when i softmod it this will still be active. what should i do next after booting the new bios: make a softmod or get another dashboard? i think it goes only like this: softmod and then the installation of a dashboard. thanks for your advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Penguin Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Boot a utility disc and install a new dashboard. DO NOT install a softmod for a hardmodded Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodbathG Posted October 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 can i do this with hexen or do i need another disc? sorry but i have googled alot, most links are dead and the information i find is confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Penguin Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 HeXEn can install a dashboard, yes. Or alternatively, you can download whichever dashboard you want from the internet and just boot HeXEn in order to grant FTP access, and FTP your downloaded dashboard to the Xbox's HDD.

I've got an old Xbox I modded in the early 2000s that I used a win 98 pc to flash with USB. Still have the chip, don't have an old pc. We're you able to flash the chip with hexen?

You can flash TSOPs or modchips with HeXEn, yes. Or better yet, XBlast OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or better yet, XBlast OS.I tried earlier with the xbit modchip and hexen 2018 and got an error. Can't recall the error now but it failed. The xbit modchip has six banks for various sized bios'. I'm assuming you keep that bank selected to flash it but no such luck. First time around nearly a decade and a half ago I only flashed only one bank but I need a bigger bios for a bigger harddrive.

KaosEngineer Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 From what I recall, the X-B.I.T. modchip requires special software to flash via a USB port. It cannot be re-flashed from the Xbox with evoxdash, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Penguin Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Ah, interesting. Seems like a very odd design choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Yes, it is. Not sure why the dev team for the X-BIT modchip chose to do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyute74 Posted October 24, 2018 Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 They weren't concerned about future proofing I guess. But, this little modchip has held strong for me on my v1.0 Xbox. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodbathG Posted October 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2018 it only worked with an old win98 pc and the 1.5 software i had to add msvbvm60.dll and comdlg32.ocx. win 10 and xp didnt work to flash it.

Ottoman90 Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I just recently purchased a brand new x-b.i.t modchip and have had success with the flashtool on my laptop running windows 7 no problems didnt even need to select compatibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
