    Never mind Because i jus found exacly what ive been looking for ages. Heres the shot. Heres how to install Evox on your XBOX without 007, Mechassult or Splintercell. Heres how to do it.

    What u need are:

    - Modded with Xecuter 3 or 2 XBOX,
    - CD or DVD- RW containing the evolutionX.iso
    -FTP program
    -PC ( for FTP-ing )

    " Loading EvolutionX dashboard
    Now, take the CDRW (or DVD+R or DVD+RW) disc that you just burned using NERO and insert it into the Xbox. Don’t worry if your PC can’t actually read any of the files on the disc. Remember, the files are encoded in a format for the Xbox.

    Turn on the Xbox and allow it to boot up. It should read the disc. If it does not read the disc, it may be because the Xbox does not like the media. Xbox’s are very peculiar and they don’t all like the same discs. One brand of CDRW that works in Xbox #1, may not work with Xbox #2. If it doesn’t boot, try to burn the ISO again with at least one or two different brands of media.

    The Xbox should boot up and load the EvolutionX dashboard. You will see several options after loaded. Just scroll down and select "System Utils", then select "Settings" and then scroll down to "IP". This will show you the IP of your xbox on your network. You will need this IP address in order to connect to your xbox with your PC.

    Next we will connect to your Xbox using an FTP program. The most popular FTP program for xbox modders is FlashFXP. You can download it here.

    Start FlashFXP. When you load FlashFXP, the screen is divided into two parts. On the left side you should get the content of your PC HDD (hard disk drive). To switch between ftp/hdd use the top button on the right side.

    On the right side , click the first top button and choose "quick connect".

    Connect to your Xbox
    Now you will just need to fill in the IP that you got from the EvolutionX dashboard. The username is always "xbox" , the password is standard "xbox" (unless you got crazy and changed it in your evox.ini file). You may not need to enter a username and password at all, in which case just leave the port set to 21 and check off "Anonymous". Hit "Apply", then "Connect" and you should be in!

    Backup your Xbox harddrive
    This is a VERY important part. You want to be sure that you have a backup of your original Xbox in case anything gets screwed up. Don’t worry, usually everything is cool, but just in case. On the leftside (PC harddrive) go somewhere with at least 300MB of free space. Then select "C" & "E" on the right side. Next, right-click and select "transfer". This may take a little while depending on the speed of your local network.

    Enter the C directory on the Xbox harddrive (right side).

    The last file should be xboxdash.xbe.

    IMPORTANT:: if you have a special "hacked" bios that boots evoxdash.xbe or yboxdash.xbe instead of xboxdash.xbe you will need to make a small change to this guide. But, if you have an X-ecuter mod chip with a standard BIOS, then just follow the rest of these instructions.

    Select the xboxdash.xbe file , right-click and select "Transfer As".

    Fill in "msxboxdash.xbe" and click "ok"

    Now go to the directory on your PC harddrive where EvoX is. You will now have a :
    * evox.ini file : make sure to open the file with notepad and configure all the settings (most important your network settings).
    * default.xbe : rename this file to xboxdash.xbe

    When finished, transfer these 2 files to your C drive on the Xbox HDD.
    Evox.ini will just copy and for xboxdash.xbe it will ask if you want to overwrite the file , say "yes".
    You don't have to transfer the "skin" & "bios" directory. "skin" is used if you want to install new skins for EvoX , if u don't copy the skin directory you will just get the default skin.
    The "bios" directory is only needed if you will flash your onboard bios (tutorial) later on. (most people with a modchip won't use this).
    note: It doesn't harm thought if u move both the skins & bios directory to the C drive of your xbox.

    Now go back where you transfered msxboxdash.xbe on your PC harddrive. And retransfer the file (with it's new filename) to the C of your xbox harddrive. (this will allow you to go the original microsoft dashboard from the evolutionx dashboard).
    This is how your C drive on your Xbox should look like. Your drive will probably not have the "backup" directory unless you already installed evox before.

    xboxdash.xbe is the default.xbe from the EvoX release
    msxboxdash.xbe is the old xboxdash.xbe from your C xboxdrive.
    evox.ini is coming from the EvoX release

    Remove the CD , turn off your xbox and restart.
    It should now boot up to the EvolutionX dashboard.
    If it doesn't work your xbox isn't doomed , you can still access the the xbox harddrive with the CD. (and if needed restore with the backup of C & E you made). " ( quoted from
