Ok flash done successfully Thanks.

Ok so just to check I have this all right as I am having to jump between posts and I am a bit thick this is what I need to do: enable "item: flash bios" in the ini file Add the patched ind-bios.5003.06 file to c:\bios folder I assume I now need to use the flash bios option previously enabled to flash the above bios? move c:\evoxdash.xbe and c:\evox.ini to E:\ drive move c:\bios and c:\skins to e:\ Upload dashloader place on c contents to the root of c:\ Upload ind-bios.cfg from archive to root of c:\ Reboot xbox That all correct? Cheers

Bloody hell what have I started? LOL Right so just to confirm before I break anything is this ^ What I need to do? I have just woke up and I got totally lost somewhere in all those posts lol

Ok cool, Cheers. how do I reflash the bios exactly? do I just copy it somewhere or do I have to use a program?

Thanks Kaos, do you have a guide to a noob friendly guide for doing that? I have a 256gb SATA drive here I was thinking of using if I can get it to work.

So is that bios upgradeable somehow or is it defined by the mod chip?

Sorry I dont understand, Is that to do with the files you need or me changing the HDD? or something else completely? Lol

No prob, Glad I could give a little back, I have a feeling I will have many more questions in the coming weeks as I navigate my way through this haha Yes I agree, It tells me a load of info but I have little control over any of it

V1.1 But I managed to find a PSU now

Blue bios: bios (blue).bin

Here you go mate, Hope they help! As a side note, When I get a working DVD for this thing, Will I be able to upgrade the HDD like you do with a TSOP'd machine? i.e. remove old, plug in new with hexen disk in drive and reinstall everything? Or will it be more complicated than that? I was intending on modding this one myself to learn but have been a little surprised and scuppered by the DVD being broken in transit and the mod chip being in it. I dont think the previous owner knew it was there!! bios (red).bin

I will try that thanks

Here you go, I get the feeling this dash is locked down to some degree as there seems to be lots I can not do. I was going to ask if its a really old version and if I need to update it somehow as I would like to stick a bigger HDD in it. But as I dont have a DVD drive atm I know its not going to happen atm LOL evox.ini

Yeah I checked all of them, No backup folder on any of them.

Ok I have had a look today but I have no c:\backup folder when I FTP in. Also I can not seem to see any backup options in any of the Dash menus.

I will give that a shot tomorrow for you

Just got halo on the HDD and working Turns out the HDD is standard size so not getting much else on it but that can be worked around at a later date

Yes it does! If you tell me how to get it for you I will happily do so I am new to all of this....

Ahh thank you guys! so there is a hacked dash on here after all! so I should be able to FTP to it as normal with that shouldn't I? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X0Fn31t2KmlkS2TGOnQVylYNJP8LUV9Z/view?usp=drivesdk as a side note I completely stripped the DVD and you were right its meant to be mounted under the lens but theres 0 chance of me being able to glue it back in place as its on fine legs. So yeah thats scrap unfortunatly!

Its a Phillips drive, Seems to be booting ok in to the normal dash. What do you mean about booting power or eject buttons though?

Yeah its a sort of semi transparent mirrored plastic, I thought I may be able to stick it back in somewhere but I cant work out where its from. The one that I have on route is already TSOP flashed, this one seems to have a stock dash and I think a larger HDD (but I cant see the actual capacity on it!). But I think it has been mod chipped as it has some soldered wires going to a little pcb attached to the board under the DVD drive (see pic in first post). Not really sure what it is or does though.

Has not arrived yet so not sure but I hope so LOL I opened up the drive to see if it was anything obvious, I found this in the bottom rattling around: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19yQcy_Pn72BOfH0PHGRZghtD7vU3_80Z/view?usp=drivesdk Dont know what it is or where it came from but I presume its part of the laser assembley?

Howdy all! So first tech Q. As some of you may know I recently have got a XBOX sent to me from a friend so I have been purchasing the extras controllers, cables etc. Anyways I brought a bundle of controllers that came with a xbox FOC! Now it was listed as working which it is but the DVD drive wont read disc's and it rattles! The seller packaged i very poorly so I suspect it was damaged in transit. Now other than that and the leaking clock cap (which I have pulled off and cleaned up) it seems to be fine, and looks like it has a mod chip installed? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IB92couhg9q7x4Nfi5Hkt9lNWHT_ATwL/view?usp=sharing So what I am wondering is do I have any options with this thing? I know I could replace the drive but I was wondering if there was a way I could use my other TSOP'd box to sort of build a HDD for it and put it in this one or some other way of transfering stuff to the HDD? It seems to have a stock dashboard on it and I obv cant use a hexen disc. Any thoughts appreciated as it seems a shame to side line it for the sakes of a dvd drive. Cheers.

Thats a great link thanks!

Actually never mind I managed to snatch one up on there just now, Last one cheers!
