Step 1 - Creating the Bios CD
- Ensure that the bios file you wish to use of an appropriate size for your modchip (1MB for the X-ecuter2.x) and if you have Xbox v1.4+ make sure the bios has support for it.
- Make a copy of the bios file you wish to use and rename this copy to BIOS.BIN
(You can also use BIOSUPD1.BIN, CROMWELL.BIN, XECUTER.BIN & LINUXBIO.BIN)
- Select a CD or DVD media compatible with your XBox's DVD-Rom.
(Most CDRW will work and most DVD-R will work. If you have a Samsung Drive then some CD-R will work)
- Burn the BIOS.BIN file onto a CD.
(For Nero select the following settings, No Multisession, ISO Level 1, Format Mode 1, ISO 9660, Deselect Joliet, Finalize CD, Disc-At-Once)
- You should add a dummy file to the CD to ensure it is read properly by the XBOX. We have enclosed a dummy file creator with this release. We recommend 100MB.
Step 2 - Flashing with FlashBIOS (Cromwell)
- Turn your XBox console ON, when the DVD-Rom tray ejects please insert your BIOS.BIN CD and close the tray.
- When the flashing procedure is complete the XBox will shut down.
- If your modchip is writeprotected or the programming fails you will be informed by error messages on screen (It will say Unknown Flash! Halting)
