How to Flash Your Xbox

Many people do not realize the vast assortment of functions an Xbox video game console is capable of. One of these features is the ability to "flash," or transfer bios and files from your computer to your Xbox with the help of a mod chip. This lets you fully customize games and levels. Based on what kind of mod chip you have, there are two main methods. One must be used with an external modchip, while the other employs a CD-RW or DVD.

Things You'll Need

• Xbox with mod chip
• Computer
• USB cable
• Cromwell Linux BIOS
• CD

Instructions

1. Install the external mod chip on your Xbox. Typically, this is done by inserting it into one of the ports on the front of the system.

2. Attach one end of the USB cable to your computer and the other end to the modchip. The flashing software should automatically load; click "OK" to begin loading the bios to your Xbox.

3. Turn on the Xbox with the modchip activated.

4. Burn the desired bios onto the Cromwell Flash BIOS disc that came with the Cromwell Linux BIOS.

5. Insert the CD with the burned BIOS on it into the Xbox when instructed to do so. Remove the CD when the process is complete.
