I have a SpiderChip 1.1 that I recently installed. I updated the bios to FlashBios 3.0.3 and later found out that I need a hacked bios to install slayers which flashbios 3.0.3 is not. I have spent hours surfing and trying to install different bios's but nothing seems to work. No matter what I seem to try, I cannot get a new bios installed. I do not think my chip has a bios protector built into it. Below is a list of a few things I have tried with the EvolutionX M8plus bios:

- renamed it to bios.bin
- loaded it onto 2 different types of media along with a dummy file. My drive is a samsung if it matters.
- enabled network flashing uploaded the file

My box does not accept any of these to update. Any suggestions are welcome.

cool thanks...I tried what you suggested, using the spider reflash iso and just using the bios.bin file with the 100 mb dummy file and neither worked. I would suspect the media except that it is the same media I used to load Flashbios 3.0.3. I have also enabled networking flashing and have no success their either.

Should I keep trying different medias or do you think the problem is deeper than that?

Since my last post I have tried using a dvd to load the bios downloaded from hackdabox. I have also attempted the spiderchip iso reflash. Network flashing almost works but doesn't recognize the file as a valid bin.

A new development is the fact that flashbios doesn't even recognize that a disc is in the drive. When I posted last time, it halted every time but now it says "Waiting on drive" and then eventually ejects the disc.

I'm screwed ain't I? I can pop in a new hard drive if need be but I don't think that will help.

Try this...

Borrow one of your friends DVD drives out of their Xbox, and put it in your's. Then try to put that same bios disc in and see if their drive can read the disc.

Flashing via a disc is not the only way you can flash the chip. You can find more ways on Hackdabox's site if I remember correctly.

I'll give that a shot, but network flashing hasn't worked either. I can connect and upload the bin file, but then it halts saying something about it not being a valid bin file.

Spiderchip BIOS cd

The file was extracted and renamed to bios.bin. I was careful not to name it bios.bin.bin. It won't flash using the network or a cd or dvd.
