    get an auto installer disc like Slayer 2.6 or AID3.0
    that is if you can load discs.
    do you know the exact error message you get, does it give you a number like error 5?
    that would really help.

    Can you post some info on the Apple chip..I never heard of that one..

    Error 5 is the drive is unlocked, That's why it won't boot the MS dash..Otherwise I need to know what can be done to repair the bios on the chip...post me a link to the site if you can..

    All I can find is this, there doesn't seem to be a xv2 version

    Thanks I'll go check it out and see what I can work out..

    Is it this one?

    http://www.gocybershop.ca/customer/product.php?productid=1242&cat=220&page=1

    If it is here are the specs and the flash info..

    Specifications

    (v1.0, v1.1, v1.2, v1.3, v1.4, v1.5 and v1.6)
    - Dual Bios feature
    - Very easy to disable mod for xbox Live
    - Very easy to tell if you are running the original or the modchip bios
    - Can boot between original and modchip bios

    or
    11 wire installation

    EvoX flash id information.
    flash = 0x01a4, "AppleX VII", 0x80000
    flash = 0x04a4, "AppleX VII", 0x80000


    I can't find any support or info about how to re-flash it though...very poor makers site..

    http://www.apple-chip.com/index/applex_vii.html

    operating instructions

    are under the v1.x links on the left


    And there is a server out at AD that is causing lots of timeouts and driving me mad!!!! It's constantly trying to load the ad's....I don't need that at 4.22 am..

    I have posted for help a few other places.(xbox-scene and cyber-mags).. now all I can do is wait and see if anyone knows how to deal with it.. 4.56 am...bedtime..see you tomorrow...


    NEW from XBOX SCENE..

    Switch to the other bank and reflash via evoxdash. Flick the swicth to the corrupt bank just prior to the flash starting its erase cycle and the bad bank will be flashed.. You can follow the hotswap to flash for the duo in tema omega section as well. These chips are virtually the same but they come with the 1.6 bios on Bank 0 instead of bank 1.


    From chancer..super mod

    link to thread..

    Can you boot from slayers?

    If you just want to back up the contents of the drive for now then try this...It is unlocked afterall..

    edit more info and tutorial for duox, they are virtually identical to this apple and this is supposed to work

    It seems like we need to get the xbox drive locked though before we can proceed....

    Have you ever made an eeprom backup?
