    i just got my no solder chameleon with adapter. i installed it and then booted up and a the cromwell screen came up fine. i never change the dipp setting the chip came in.but i flashed it with bios(evox d.6bin and evox d.6 eject fix) now when i boot up the regular xbox logo comes up. but there is no lights on my chameleon chip.and it wont read any more cd/rw when i try to install a new dashboard. what did i do wrong?

    What screen does it boot to? The M$ dashboard? Have you tried booting with a DVD+/-RW?

    If ever you want to flash the bios again but this time with the Evox M7 (it is better) then change the dip switches to an other bank (like 2 or 3) and then you'll get the linux screen again... insert the bios cd and after that replace the switches to the factory setting.

    it boots up to the normal microsoft dash.also i haave moved the dip switches over and over again to diffrent banks and all the xbox does is turn itself on and off? also my chameleon doesnt blink blue its just blinks one time red when i turn it on then it turns right off like a blink of an eye.

    Have you tried playing a backup game? Because if you don't have a new dashboard installed it is normal that the chameleon don't flash because M$ dashboard don't support the blinking of the chameleon led

    Remove the adapter then reinstall it again... maybe it desaligned or the D0 wire could have moved a little bit. If that doesn't work it means that you have a bad flash!

    I just thought of something!!!! When you uncompress the dashboard file on your pc first you have to rename the file evoxdash.xbe to default.xbe then configure the .INI file for your network (you won't be able to do it later) and then make an .ISO of all the files with ISOCraxtion and then burn the iso to your CD-RW! Drop me news about that!

    How come you don't have the cromwell? You flashed all 4 banks? There should be a copy of it on one of the 4 banks!

    Try to put your hands on a programmer, it will simplify flashing your chip with any bios. Don't ask me where to buy one since the only place I know of are out of stock on this item!
