I have a softmodded xbox that as far as I know, was flashed with an EvoX bios from an owner who didn't realize the boot disc he was using was for chips and that there wasn't anything wrong with his xbox to begin with.
Anyways, the xbox now boots into a minuscule Evox with just Launch Disc and System settings as the two options. I can get around it by launching another disc with boxplorer to access the hard drive, but I was wondering if I could reflash the bios with a retail one from another xbox. And if I can, what program would I use, and does the bios have to be from the same version of xbox or can a 1.5 BIOS be used on a 1.1 or 1.2 box?

you cannot flash a softmodded xbox's BIOS
what you are seeing means your main .xbe file for the dash you had is messed up
FTP over a new dash OR use a restore disc

Yeah you would need to FTP a completely new dash to the E:/Dashboard folder. Or use Zzk2001 CD And if all else fail restore the xbox back to stock and resoftmod it  |

Guys, I don't think you're getting it. I wrote a brand new hard drive using stock C files and a completely empty E, locked it using the eeprom and put it in. The xbox still boots into this Evox screen with only two options.
So in other words, I completely removed the old hard drive, so it has nothing to so with any dashboard files whatsoever on the hard drive. I replaced the old one with a new hard drive with untouched, stock C files.
It's almost acting as if it's been TSOP'd but from what the guy tells me, he just ran a boot CD and from there, he screwed it up. Aside from that I have no other info as to what he did to screw it up. There's no chip in it and the old hard drive has been removed.

ok well you CANT flash a non chipped xbox, so thats not the problem
i looked into doing that a while back, you just can't do it
Does it boot without a HDD?
Does it boot to a blank HDD? Locked\Unlocked?
Where did you get the stock C\E drive files?

True that bro, you can NOT flash a softmodded xbox on its own, you can though, but only with mod chip can it be accomplished  |

I checked over the new HDD and I accidentally used his backup C folder for the god damn xbhdm ISO instead of the stock C files which were labeled as such which is by far the most retarded mistake I've made yet. So I took one out of another box I upgraded, locked it for the box I was working on and it worked, it booted right into UnleashX. So suffice to say I didn't spend even half the time I should've, checking everything over.
I am still pissed off however about my modchip or rather the solderless adapter, because I snapped the F..ing d0 pin. I could simply solder a wire to the point it broke off and then solder a piece of the pin to the end couldn't I? I figure the wire would be easier to bend than the pin was.

I was so pissed when I looked at the folder. And my backup PC for prepping HDDs died. So now I have to find some old ass parts and make another one.
I'd still like to know what the hell that guy did because before I ripped the HDD out and swapped the new one, I deleted the entire C, wrote over it, deleted all of E and F and it still booted EvoX. But then I swapped HDDs from another box and it booted UnleashX. Voodoo and trickery is afoot. anyway, it's over now and I didn't punch it in the face
