Team Xecuter Presents FlashBIOS (Based on Linux Cromwell v2.28 Dev) 13th January 2004 FlashBIOS (Cromwell) is a customized version of the Cromwell bios for distribution with the Xecuter2 modchip, it has been changed to incorporate a modchip flashing feature that requires a CD with BIOS.BIN to be inserted in the XBOX's DVD-ROM drive. Once a CD is inserted into the drive the bios looks for a BIOS.BIN file and if it is found it will flash this onto the modchip (provided it has flash support in the bios for the modchip type). We have also included an erase / programming progress bar for you to monitor the success of the flashing. The BIOS is packed as 512k for those that follow our optimal CDRW/DVD install tutorial - although it is a 2x256k image. v2.28 Update Now has limited Focus Video support (640 x 480 - Standard AV Pack) v2.27 Update Fixed many bugs due to the bios hanging Fixed overheating issues Faster flashing process Works on v1.0 to v1.5 (no video as yet on v1.4+) ========= WARNING ========= The use of FlashBIOS (Cromwell) to flash your modchip is entirely your responsibility, any misuse of the flashing feature could result in your console being left inoperable and will require your modchip to be flashed with an external programmer. The flashing feature of FlashBIOS (Cromwell) has been tested with all the devices listed below. Please read all instructions fully before attempting to use this feature. - The bios supports the following flash roms 0x01 0xd5 AMD - Am29F080B (XECUTER2) 0x04 0xd5 FUJITSU - MBM29F080A 0xad 0xd5 Hynix - HY29F080 0x20 0xf1 ST - M29F080A 0x89 0xA6 Sharp - LHF08CH1 0xbf 0x61 SST - 49LF020 (Cheapmods) ====================== How to use FlashBIOS ====================== Complete instructions are at http://www.teamxecuter.com/cromwell.htm ================== Trouble shooting ================== If you get FRAG (Flashing Red And Green) The mod is not installed correctly or the BIOS is not flashed correctly. If you get Bios not found you have burned the CD incorrectly or your DVD ROM does not like your media. If it seems to flash ok but the Cromwell is still on your mod then use a different media If you get Unknown Flash! Halting the chip is write protected. Remove the jumper / disable the switch. If disabling the switch still doesnt work - simple power up to flashbios with the switch plugged in then unplug the entire switch from the Xecuter 2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3 and try the disc again. =================== Recommemded Media =================== http://www.teamxecuter.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=7335 ================== More Information ================== Our message forums are at http://teamxecuter.com/ ========= Credits ========= XBOX Linux Team for Cromwell which FlashBIOS is based on. ========= Greets ========= The entire Xbox Community.
