Cheapmod Mini - BIOS Reflash Disc Lite (Cromwell Legal Release)
By SylverReZ in Applications
The purpose of this release, was to make it freely available everywhere without the addition of copyrighted BIOS images, and instead opt for one BIOS being Cromwell - an open-source BIOS that is free of any copyrighted materials, and can be used on ANY model of Xbox on ANY modchip.
Nearly most of the features found on the full release still remain; such as DHCP support, the ability to backup your modchip's BIOS onto your hard disk and to lock/unlock your HDD.

EVtool
By SylverReZ in PC Based Applications
==============================================================================
Extracts, Compiles, and Patches Evox M8 XBOX BIOS/Kernel Files.
See about box for thank-yous (and if I left you out please let me know).
==============================================================================
!!!!! WARNING !!!!!
Use the correct M8 version for your Xbox! M8 is for Xbox hardware versions
1.0-1.5. M8_16 is for version 1.6. If you use the pack function choose the
corect base ROM file.
==============================================================================
LBA48 and IGR Notes
Please give all credit for the LBA48 stuff to oz_paulb. He's done what many
said couldn't be done. See the documentation for more details on the LBA48 and
partition options. Also check http://forums.xbox-scene.com/ for help.
The IGR code was devised by dootdoo. I only added an option for a more
compatible reset method patched the code into M8.
==============================================================================
Notes
Documentation will be sparse until I get time to work on it.
I hope the patch to remove Evox's logo doesn't make them mad mad, but it was
going to happen sooner or later anyway and most people I've talked to think
it's ugly.
When packing you will be asked to chose a base ROM file before being asked the
name to save the file as. This is normal (at least for now). You should choose
either an M8 or M8_16 file.
This version only works with modified M8 ROM files which are pre-patched for
LBA48 and IGR. You will have to look for these in the usual palaces. Future
versions may handle non-pre-patched M8 files.
You can change the LBA48 partition handling, you just can't turn LBA48 off.
(This should not cause a problem if you are using the original drive or one
which is smaller than 137GB.)
Quick IGR is quicker.
More compatible IGR is... more compatible. E.g. Soul Caliber 2 locks with the
quick IGR (and X2's, I'm told) except at the menus. This mode shouldn't cause
lockups.
==============================================================================
Evox Logo Notes
The logo is in DDS format.
You can create these using Photoshop or using apps which can use Photoshop
import/export plugins or with any image editor and a conversion tool. You can
find the plugin and commandline conversion utility need at nVida's web site
<http://developer.nvidia.com/object/nv_texture_tools.html>. Microsoft's DX9
SDK also has a converter, but it didn't allow enough control over the ouput
file to give me the exact format I needed.
The output file format should be 128 * 128 A4R4G4B4 DDS with no mip maps.
Exporting from Photoshop I chose 16-bit (4:4:4:4) no mip maps and left the
other settings alone. Using nvdxt.exe I use the command:
nvdxt.exe -nomipmap -u4444 <your_image_file.tga>.
Nvdxt handles pretty much any common image format (tga/jpg/gif.etc).
I've included a sample DDS texture files for demonstration purposes.
If you get a hang after changing the logo, press eject and the machine should
finish booting. No sure why this happens, but I'll look into if I get time.
==============================================================================
History
1.0.9
Fixed failure to patch in IGR code on newly supported kernels.
Removed support for outdated BIOS's (only M8+ and meetoo M8 BFMs supported).
1.0.8
Support for M8+.
1.0.7
Support for Yoshihiro-M8-1.6B.
Support for metoo M8 BFMs.
1.0.6
Fixed LBA48 stuff to return the new version number so BIOSes works with
XBpartition.
1.0.5
Removed thumbs + triggers IGR.
Fixed obscure lba48 bug which doesn't affect users (right now), but has
implications with regard to partitioning tools.
Don't use M8 files which were pre-patched or previously patched with an older
version of EVtool or you'll still have the old IGR and LBA48 code.
1.0.4
Patches the DDS header of imported DDS files to be identical to the original
M8 logo. Some people reported a hang in M8 when they imported a logo
(pressing eject will let the machine finish booting). This problem seems to
only affect certain machines. Maybe this will fix it.
1.0.3
EVtool can now load official M8 for those people who just can't seem to find
the pre-patched version. M8 will be automatically patched for IGR and LBA48.
I'm sure I'll be asked for an option to patch M8 without IGR and LBA48 and
I'm sure I'll kill the person who asks first. However, if people really want
that I may add it later.
1.0.2
My apologies for the frequent releases, but sometime ideas just hit me and I
like to strike while the iron is hot. Feel free to use your current version
if it bothers you to get another release so soon.
Added Evox logo repacement patch (which I think was cool enough to merit a
release).
1.0.1
Fixed crash if you packed or saved multiple times without restarting EVtool.
Added Evox logo removal patch.
1.0
Fixed TM patch.
Statically linked XBpatch (XBpatch.dll no longer needed).
Removed unused toggles and rearranged dialog.
Internal code cleanup.
0.8.0.b1
Pack/Unpack function cleanup.
Other internal changes.
0.7.0.b1
Initial release.

Unlocking Xbox Western Digital WD Protege - By Siktah
By SylverReZ in User Manuals & Tutorials
This is a way I managed to unlock a number of WD HDDs for the purpose of grabbing any
DLC/Title Updates to help Harcroft and others with Insignia. This is specifically for HDDs that
do NOT unlock with the default Master WDC… as tried by FatXplorer.

Xbox Dashboard DVD Region Free Patch Disc
By SylverReZ in Applications
xboxdash dvd region free patch disc v1.04
=========================================
patchdisc by modrobert
dashboard hacking by sylver
ApplyPPF v3.0 by =Icarus/Paradox=
Description:
A xboxdash dvd region free patch disc bootable directly in any modded xbox.
The disc is fully automated and can be used to quickly switch between original
and patched m$ dasboard, good for xbox live users.
Whats new:
Added support for dashboard 5960 rev 185a6100.
Info:
The disc is based on a fast and very powerful "mini Linux ram disk dist" which
boots in less than 10sec (not counting xbox splash screen). All patch data
provided by sylver from his excellent 'xboxdash dvd region free patcher v1.04'
for Windows. The patch tool used is ApplyPPF v3.0 (Linux) by =Icarus/Paradox=.
All ppf3 patches features "undo data" to provide a slick restore function when
needed. The only file touched by this tool is 'xboxdash.xbe' on your hd system
partition (C:), no backup files needed for restore function.
Supported original m$ dashboards:
---------------------------------
- 3944
- 4034
- 4817
- 4920 rev 10027100
- 4920 rev 1012a700
- 5659 rev 17e4cd00
- 5659 rev 17f14d00
- 5960 rev 185a6100
---------------------------------
Usage:
Zip file includes an .iso ready to burn on dvdr or cdrw. Use Nero (win) or
cdrecord (unix) to burn and make sure the disc is finalized (fixated/session
closed). Boot the disc in your xbox. Progress is displayed on screen.
Affected file: C:xboxdash.xbe
If a supported original m$ dasboard is found; the dasboard is patched to make
dvd region free. If a previously patched m$ dashboard is found; the dasboard is
restored to original state where dvd is region protected.
Here is the disc "switch" procedure explained:
* boot disc
* found original dashboard
* do dvd region free patching
* don't use xbox live!
...maybe you watch some dvd movies now 🙂
* boot disc
* found patched dashboard
* restore dashboard to original state
* ok to use xbox live
...maybe you turn off modchip and play xbox live now 🙂
Troubleshooting:
If you get "* matching md5 128-bit checksum of [xboxdash.xbe]...failed" it
means your xboxdash.xbe is either missing or not a supported (new?) version.
For some reason Craxtion might fail reading the included iso since it was
created by 'mkisofs' (the mother of all iso tools) using UDF mode, heard
strange reports about this. On the other hand you don't need to use Craxtion,
just burn the iso image and boot in your xbox.
Changelog:
v1.04
+ support for dashboard 5960
+ added 50mb dummy file
v1.03
+ initial release
+ following sylver's release sequence
- no support for untested dashboard - 4627
Greetings fly to:
XanTium for posting this baby on xbins. 😉
xboxing for providing 5960 dashboard data.

LogoX2 - Logo changer for Xecuter 2 BIOS
By SylverReZ in PC Based Applications
xecutter2 logo changer for X2 bios 4979/4980/4981/4982/4983.
v.41 Beta version.
This is a command line program.
The logo can be a 24 bit bitmaps 100x17 (cf chips.bmp example) or raw type (8 bits pers pixels greyscale).
In the bios, the logo is compressed with a RLE algorithm. So a too complex logo will not hold in the bios.
Do not hesitate to report any problem in the french forum www.xbox-hacks.net (bios section).
or in the bios section of xbox-scene.com forums.
Happy customisation !
Chips/alg5
History:
0.41 : Accept more type of bmp.
0.4 : 1st version with GUI. Logo can be either raw or bmp.
0.3 : Image file needs to be bmp instead of raw.
0.21 : Correction of one bug: the logo was shifted by 1 pixel.
0.2 : Add support for X2 bios 4979, 4982, 4983.
0.1 : 1st release. Support for X2 bios 4980 & 4981.
Thanks to:
Team xecuter for their bios.
NghtShd for the bios pack/unpack code.
Caustik for the logo pack/unpack code.
Yoshihiro for starting me again on the subject and giving his findings.
