PaulRevere Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I'm a noob and I need a little help please. I have softmodded my Xbox with Unleash X and now I want to hard mod it. I have burned Hexen 2018 disc image file to a disc and now I am trying to figure out how to get Xbox Bios Checker either v4 or V5 onto a disc. I burn the files to the DVD R disc but the Xbox won't recognize it. What Files do I need to burn onto the disc? Should there be a disc image file? What am I doing wrong? Do I have to hardmod it first for this to work? I'm sorry but I have looked at so many videos and searched so many forums that now I'm lost in the forest. Please break out the crayons on this one to show me how to do this. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlorn Penguin Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 You don't need to check which BIOS it is if it's only been softmodded because you already know it's on a stock BIOS. Also using the Xbox DVD drive is a bad idea because they are old and have a high rate of failure, so you want to avoid wearing out the laser unless it is necessary to do so. So if you really need BIOS Checker for some reason, just FTP it to the HDD and run it from there instead. But to answer the question, yes. You would have to burn an iso image to the disc. The Xbox isn't gonna see anything otherwise. Not just any iso image either, but an Xbox iso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRevere Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Thanks for the help. I crossed my fingers and inserted the hexen 2018 disc. Everything loaded like it was supposed to. I didn't know that I don't need to know the BIOS on a softmod. Man! All that searching and no one said just stick the hexen 2018 disc in and let it go :). They were always using a Xbox BIOS Checker on their videos. Everything was saying "Remember your BIOS version". Big thank you for the help! Hope this helps others as well who are stuck in the same spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroChat Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 Are you asking what kind of eeprom-chip you have on the board or what bios it is flashed with? ....Or am I way off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) You can upload the BIOS Checker app to the HDD. No need to put it on a disk. Make a subfolder "BIOS Checker" where other applications are stored on your HDD. (e.g., F:\Apps, G:\Apps) and upload the files for it to this new folder. Reboot or refresh the menu list.

HDShadow Posted September 5, 2022 Report Share Posted September 5, 2022 Wouldn't it have been better to start your own thread rather than add to this three year old one? It's not the same problem or, possibly, even a problem. It looks as if you're probably using a type chip (Aladdin?) with an v1.6 Evox M8+ series BIOS already on it. Flashing the BIOS using a HeXen disc should be a simple matter of launching the HeXen disc (DVD-R/ImgBurn) and going to the BIOS flashing tools menu. Alternatively: using EvoX or XBlast installed as apps booting either of those. That's only if you've installed a dashboard already of course.

He already deleted the content of his post. So no idea what he's using.. and no it's a 3 year old necro'd thread without even the reason for the Necro. But if I'm not mistaken a lot of the Aladdin modchips are non-flashable knock-offs. So he may not be able to flash it anyway.
