SmartXX BIOS and SATA HDD

Hello again,
I got another Xbox with another problem. It`s a box manufactured 2003 (so no 1.6 I guess) and it`s a SmartXX built in from 2004. There are several banks flashed with some BIOS files (see picture). There was only a 160GB IDE drive installed so I decided to change it to a SATA 2TB. I made a FTP-copy of the files from C and E. I used FatXplorer to prepare the drive and copied all previously saved files to the new C and E drives to the new partitions. After that I got error 21 after boot. The only working Dash is the EvolutionX but it won`t recognize the F and G partition as it should. I formatted F and G 927GB each but as you can see in the picture it shows only F and not even the correct size. I think the flashed BIOS version is too old. When EvolutionX boots up it shows Xecuter2 below the green xbox logo. Wich BIOS do I need to flash SmartXX and how do I flash it?
I need your help again 🙂

Regards.

Not to sure but, your pictures shows a german interface so let me assume  you are german. Here is is a nother of that tool I use for my SmartXX and yes, It's a görman version : https://1fichier.com/?6aqhsbpijrcv8sumyl03

( Auf https://htmh.de gabs mal ein tutorial aber dank der forums umstellung ist das leider nicht mehr zu finden - zumindest nicht auf die schnelle :(  )

EDIT : Original source of the file : https://htmh.de/forum/thread/1130-smartxx-remote-flasher-tftp-5-1-ger-tools-by-warlock-xbox/

EDIT 2 : Found the tutorial : https://1fichier.com/?zswpd5yeilhw8xahsym2 ( It's a PDF and it's in görman. No wonder I didn't found a topic -.- )

 

@KaosEngineer : The 3403 update is already inlcuded in the pack in post #2. :)

Thanks for your replies. Yes it`s true I`m german. I thought my bad english had told it to you before 😜
I`m using Win 11 and Comodo firewall (Win firewall is deactivated), I allowed Remote Flasher in the firewall rules. I already found the german version of RF before and even the germen pdf tutorial. I also have the necessary OS files (latest beta). The RF just won`t find the Xbox while it is runnung in the bank1, bank2... screen. I`m gonna try another computer where I have Win7 running (I used this machine with the Nano USB Flasher) and will report after that. So the point seems to get RF find the xbox...

I already have the BIOS flashing and Dashboard booting problems solved. 🙂

So far I found out that you don't use the remote flasher to update the SmartXX OS.

You need to connect your PC -> XBox though the web browser. Then you will see a web interface of the SmartXX. https://imgur.com/a/ndDPMyD

And I found another (german) manual : https://docplayer.org/35066466-Anleitung-zum-einbau-eines-smart-xx-v2-in-eine-er-xbox.html

It didn't expain the flash but it shows you how to set up the connection though the browser.

How ever, I will check that in a couple of hours because there is no life before coffee, coffee and more coffee...

Ok found out how it works.  So open up the smartXX folder from the download (Post #10).

Step one : Rename the " SmartXX OS 3408_beta.bin " to " update.bin "

Step two : Power up your XBox and wait for the SmartXX menu.

Setp tree : Launch the " tftpclient.exe " which is included in one of the downloads.  Enter the IP the SmartXX display and select the "update.bin" file.

Step four : Press upload and wait till the SmartXX has updated the Firmware.

Press any button like you see on your TV screen. After the reboot your SmartXX shows the new FW version.

EDIT

DL for the new FW and the Tool : https://1fichier.com/?me87ihveit7divqhf8vt

connecting via browser works but how to update SmrtXX OS?

Connecting with your provided tool does not work, there is always a "timeout" error. I tried 3 different systems (Win7, Win10, Win11) all with the same error.

 

What can I do to update the OS? Currently it is Build 3245. How can I update it with DVD? Is there a way? Or a working tool?

no it`s not me. I used brandnew crosslink cable between Box and PC (works fine with my PS4 and my other OG Xbox). I set IP to 192.168.1.38 while xbox is 192.168.1.37

I can connect via browser so connection works fine. The tool does not work and gets the timeout error. I deactivated firewall and antivirus in windows. I use Win 7 64bit.

I also tried a Laptop I have with Win10 and my main PC with Win11. All get the same error message...

 

Any ideas?
