I installed a Chameleon onto my xbox and now i don't know what's going on. I'm pretty sure I installed the chip physically correct, and the xbox isn't damaged since after I remove the chip it still works fine. The thing is I don't know how to flash BIOS. I mean there are so many different bios out there and there are so many ways to do it that it's making my f**king head spin. And also there's the deal about some cdr and cdrw not working. So please can someone guide me through this, I would certainly appreciate it. Thank you.

I had a black screen, but the DVD-rom did pop out after the system is turned on. The ejection light went from orange to red then to green, does that mean anything? I checked many times with the installation and everything seems to be in place. I bought the chameleon with the adapter, that means i don't have to solder anything right?

Make sure you're using the orinigal AV Cables because if you use a Svideo pack or HD Pack you won't see anything during the flashing process... after your chip is flashed you'll be able to use any AV Pack you wish!

First you'll have to find a bios file then rename it to LINUXBIO.BIN and burn this to a CD-RW then when the linux-cromwell screen asks for a CD insert it. If it doesn't work try putting on the CD a file over 200megs called dummy.bin ... also, disable Joliet when burning the files to the CD

Nothing showed up on my screen after I turned up the xbox, the disc tray did pop out though. How can I check if I installed the chip correctly? Because I did read something about having to solder two wires for the newer versions of xbox.

Do you have a programmer?, it might be easier to use
