Flashing Needed Options

[Tuckson]

Hi,

Sorry when asking a newbie question, but that's exactly what I am.

Months ago I got my son an xbox classic. It was modded and had this little board with 3 switches on the front which say "Enable/disable", "protect/unprotect" and "Bank 1/Bank2".

After a couple of weeks my boy messed up some settings appearantly because he couldn't play everything anymore.

Now, a couple of months further he really was fed up with it, so we decided to to check the settings. But appearantly he also did something with the little switches on the front. First the led was red and a Microsoft message boasted something about needing service. After switching this back to "enabled"another infamiliair screen appeared after booting. This wanted us to put a CD in the tray with a flash file on it, which I don't have.

I tried to search on this forum and via google, but things get a bit dizzy. so many choices and options. What do i have, what do I need? And than yet... where to find it? that the stuff is that old doesn'help very much either.

So here are some numbers, I hope someone among you has some info and/or a nice suggestion how to fix it?

The flash screen says:
Flash Cromwell 2.28 dev.

The sticker on the bottom tells me the device is manufactured on 2002-08-30
The SerialNr. is 6090814 23505
Prod number is 516 + serialnr.

The dvd drive in it appears to be a Philips drive.

I took this subforum because when starting the xbox in the past a saw the word Xecuter pass by before the avalaunch menu appeared.

Hope this info is enough?


Kind regards

You don't get HeXEn from Xbins - it isn't on there. Google "Heimdall's Xbox Engineering Disc".

However, HeXEn isn't what you need to fix your problem. You need to follow this guide. It talks about the X3, but the process is similar for the X2, except that you need to select the other bank before flashing i.e. boot flashbios, then flick the bank switch, then flash. I'd always flash over the network, but you can also burn your BIOS to DVD-R or CD-R.
