1.Does too much Flashing reduce the life of the TSOP?

2.also someone said: the bioses that load from hdd (like ind-bios Cerbios etc.) They reduce the life of the TSOP is it true?

1.  Any solid state device has a limited number of writes.  So yes it reduces the life.  But I HIGHLY doubt you’re anywhere near that limit unless you’ve been flashing multiple times a day since the console was made.  

2.  No. Nope. No way

I just flashed tow times one with evox before a month and before a few weeks cerbios without load hdd, and now i'm thinking to flash with load Hdd

You should be fine.   As a disclaimer… some parts fail prematurely.  So that why I say “should” be fine.

Yes and No you will need to re-flash the bios around 10 times a day for the next 20 odd years

No

BIOS (basic input/output system) is the program a computer's microprocessor uses to start the computer system after it is powered on and on a unmodified OG Xbox the bios chip is set to read only until you add the 2 links on the MB

Cerbios and other bios files all boot from the bios chip they only look at the HDD for a configuration settings and they can all load from a built in configuration settings if there is no config file like cerbios.ini

Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
