Hello all,
I have modded 2 xbox's with no issues. Installed HDD's in both, 1 over 137 and one under. I have tried to replicate on three seperate occasions, with no luck. I can Mod the actual box and "xboxhd" the HDD's but when I go to flash the BIOS with the M8plus it gives me the finger. I am using the M8 because that is what I used before and it worked. I am in no way stuck to that method, so I am open for suggestions.
Just so you have all the info:
I snagged the BIOS with lba-48 support to handle >137GB
Grabbed EVtool and opened the M8_16.bin file selected partition 6 takes 137 partition 7 takes rest and saved it. Threw that on the xbox and went to flash the BIOS. I remember it taking a while the first time I did it, but the last couple of times I have let it sit over night with the "Erasing" message still displayed in the morning.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I some cool knowledge that I will share with the dude (dudet) that helps me resolve this (if you don't already know it)

No chip. Softmod. I beleive it is a 1.6, thats why i was going with the m8_16. He bought it a year ago. I just assumed that becuase it was a newer model that it would be the latest version. Regardless I have tried the regular m8 and other BIOS.
I am trying to flash through EVOX dash (build 3935)
I am missing a step somwhere, i guess that is what I am hoping someone here can provide for me.

Because I haven't recieved any replies, and I have noticed that 14 or so people have viewed this post. I will go basic for those of you who don't understand what I am asking.
Can someone point me in the direction of a good tutorial on how to Flash the BIOS on an XBOX to enable LBA-48 support (allows for more than 137GB of a drive to be recognized). I am running EVOX build 3935

As far as i know, if you softmodded with SID 3 and above, 137 + gb should be supported. i would suggest reverting to your microsoft backup, and reinstalling with SID 4.5. it should work.
