FLASHING:

Next up get the 007 with Raincoat from xbins. Replace their V0.5 Raincoat with V0.7. (Just go into the raincoat folder in the game save, delete the old raincoat, and stick the new 0.7 raincoat in there. Once that is done, you need a BIOS. Now here is how it works.

If you have a V1.0/1.1 XBOX Console AND using a switch, you need a 512 KB BIOS.

If you have a V1.0/1.1 XBOX Console and ARE NOT using a switch, you need a 1 MB (1024 KB) BIOS.

If you have a V1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5 XBOX Console you need a 256 KB BIOS.

The BIOS I highly recommend is X-ecuter 2 4981 BIOS. (4981.06_256k.bin). It can also be obtained from xbins. I am going use the X-Ecuter 2 4981 BIOS for this example because it is the BEST BIOS and is MULTI which works for ALL VERSIONS of XBOX.

Once you have obtained the X-Ecuter 2 4981 BIOS (It's 256 KB when you download it, don't worry just follow along) open up XBTOOL. Here is a picture of XBTOOL, I will explain what everything is and what to do.

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

Click "Open" Then locate your 4981.06_256k.bin.

LOGO COLORS: These are when you boot the XBOX, the colors you get. There are pics a little farther down explaining this better.

LOADED BIOS: (Located right beside logo colors) this is just simply what BIOS you have loaded into XBTOOL being X-Ecuter 2 4981 in this case.

BIOS TYPE: This just means what versions this BIOS is compatible on. In this case all XBOX Versions, being MULTI.

TOGGLES: Just the stuff that goes on when booting the XBOX. I would just leave these how is.

POWER LED COLOR: Which color you want your Power / Eject button to be when this BIOS is loaded. You can choose any color, the Stages beside it just ignore, it goes with which color you choose.

FAN SPEED: What speed your fan goes at. Just put it anywhere between 20% and 25%

BOOT PARTITIONS AND EXECUTABLES: Leave DVD how is, this is just what the BIOS will look for to boot 1^st. Example is when you just flashed and boot your XBOX with the BIOS, it will load the Microsoft Dashboard. But after say when you put Avalaunch or Evolution-X on it, it will load that BEFORE the Microsoft Dashboard. Pretty simple stuff. Change that to your convenience.

PRESETS: Ignore this.

EMBED HD KEY: Leave it unchecked and ignore it.

LBA SUPPORT: Ignore it, we don't need it.

FILE SIZE: OK, once you have configured your BIOS on how you like it, choose your correct file size. If you have a V1.0/1.1 WITH SWITCH click on 512 KB BIOS. If you have a V1.0/1.1 WITH NO SWITCH, check 1024 KB BIOS. If you have a V1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5, then check 256 KB BIOS. Then click Save as, and save it as "bios.bin".

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

This is what I meant about the LOGO COLORS. Just mess around with the colors, and you get something like this.

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

This is the real Microsoft Dashboard. Can you tell the difference?

Now once that's done, put your bios.bin in the RAINCOAT dir in the gamesave.

The bios.bin should be in the UDATA4541000d00000000000raincoat dir.
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->

Now, once that is complete, connect your XBOX to your PC using FlashFXP (Recommended, though any FTP client will work), and send this game save to your XBOX. Just make a folder called 4541000d in your EUDATA folder, and send everything to it starting with the 000000000000 folder and TitleMeta.xbx file. So when you enter EUDATA4541000d on your XBOX, the 1^st 2 things you should see are the 000000000000 folder and TitleMeta.xbx file. Once that's done, put that game save onto your memory card. Then copy it to the unmodded XBOX that you are about to flash.

*NOTE* Now this is important, for people using a switch, make sure it is on the "ON" position, (You can tell by seeing a dim light shining out of the switch), if it's not, recheck all your points. (Remember I told you not to completely close your XBOX incase of this). Once you are ready to proceed, take the memory card out of your controller (You should have the game save now on the unmodded XBOX, boot up the ORIGINAL copy of James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire. Go to "Load Mission" in the main menu.

Your power / eject button should have turned orange. Then shortly after you will hear an orchestra singing. Now open up a DOS PROMPT, Type everything EXACTLY how it is here minus the " quotes:

"telnet 192.168.0.64"

Then it will ask you for a username, its: "root"

Then it will ask you for a password, its: "xbox"

Now type this EXACTLY like this, without the " quotes:

"cd ../../media/E/UDATA/4541000d/000000000000/raincoat"

Now you will see "#" , if you get something other then that, you don't have the newest raincoat 0.7, GET IT BEFORE PROCEEDING!!!

(*NOTE* you will have to do the copying save to XBOX and memory card again).

Now type: "./raincoat -r orig_bios.bin" and the "." Is needed. This will backup your current, original BIOS.

Now type: "./raincoat -p bios.bin"  and take a DEEEEP breath, and don't move. It's now flashing with your new BIOS.

*NOTE* REMEMBER to type everything exactly how I have it here, or else this will not work for you.

When it says "Completed" , type "exit" It will then say "Connection to host lost." Wait a few seconds, and turn your XBOX off.

Then turn it back on, and if all went well, you should get your funky colors, and XECUTER2 in place of MICROSOFT.

If you installed a switch, it should obviously be ON, and you should get your funky colors and the XECUTER2 on the bottom. Then flip the switch to the OFF position, and you should get the original Microsoft on the bottom. You did it!!! Pat yourself on the back and go get that well deserved beer!!!

Now if you do get the fragging, which is blinking red and green and no video and audio, your XBOX is in trouble. If you have a V1.0/1.1 XBOX, it might be fixable, with the switch.....I will not go in depth explaining this, but just check out xbox-scene, and their great forums, where a lot of people can help you. Though, following this 100% you shouldn't be getting any fragging, nor anything going wrong.

Here is some pictures of one of my successfully flashed V1.4 XBOX (256 KB BIOS), and a V1.0 XBOX (1MB BIOS):

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED ST TSOP 256 KB BIOS

<!--[if !vml]--><!--[endif]-->

SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED HYNIX TSOP 1 MB BIOS

Now you can just simply Copy the Exploit Bond game save hack to your modded XBOX, then to your memory card, and to your now flashed XBOX. Delete the game save from your now flashed XBOX, and copy the Exploit game save to it. Load up 007 once again, and then Load Mission. You should now see EVO-X. Simply go to the Network Settings, Check your IP, connect your XBOX to PC, copy EVO-X or Avalaunch or whatever you want as your Dashboard, reboot, and have fun.

I have made a file with ALL of the tools necessary to do this tutorial for you people if you can't find them. If you message / E-mail me requesting the file, have an FTP ready, because the file is too big to go through E-mail, and I can't DCC files through EFNET because of major router and firewall problems, unless we can find someone dedicated to host this file. Thanks, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and all went well for you.
