    I am in despart need of a good bios for my mod chip..... I have downloaded the bios in "all the right places" but every time I open them with winrar the headers are corrupted. what can I do or what am I doing wrong?

    can someone please send me a good copy of a bios that works for the xecuter 2.6 I have been trying to get a hold of the xecuter bios 4983.06 or any of the prior bios. Can someone please email it to me at dallinwood@hotmail.com

    You got a 1.6 Xbox? If so, i had some real trouble with mine (with the BIOS's). Anyhow, i used M8 Plus (there is a specific 1.6 version) and it HAS to be flashed to bank 2 of the chip (banks 3 and 4). Thats what worked for me anyhow (v1.6, X2.6)

    If it's a 1.6, don't flash a 4983! It'll render your chip useless!

    Use the M8+ bios (1.6 version-there's 2). And make sure you create a 1MB image of it.

    I think www.teamxecuter.com has updated their FlashBIOS tutorials, you might wanna check them out.

    It wont render your chip useless, but you'll need a programmer to reprogram it. If you do do this, just PM me and i'll help you get it sorted.

    I know what you meant gtabox, but you made it sound like it'll destroy the chip putting the wrong bios on.

    I guess I did go overboard...

    Do the programmers work with the 2.6's?

    keep the original cromwell bios in banks 1 and 2 and put the M8 bios in banks 3 4 and make it 512 if you have any problems with the bios after installing it you can always start over if you have a good bios in 1 and 2.

    it only has two banks depending on the program you use to make the bin file it might look like 4 but put the m8 in the second and leave the 1 with the original.

    Oh so just reflash it I dont have to buy a programmer or anything because i read i tut and it said if you had a bad flash you have to buy a programmer. So when is a programmer needed.

    you dont need a programmer if you have another modchip
    you can flash the other chip, boot it, have evox dash, and evoxm8 on your hdd (if its a 1.6 use a evoxm8_16)
    m8plus is preferred.
    when booted , change the chip to the bad flash, then reflash it from evox. (hotswap)
    you can flash to either bank 1 or bank 2, it doesnt make a difference, the thing is the 2.6ce cromwell are different on each bank, but if you flash from evox, you can use either
    its good to have cromwell on one bank, especially useful for bad flashes
    a good thing to do is keep a few bios on a hdd
    if you need customised bios pm me

    you shouldn't need to flash or do anyhting with bank 1. if you did it right you should still have the original bios on bank 1. you need bank one to reflash bank 2.... if you have messenger write me. dallin@dallinwood.com
