Is my downloaded bios real?

[dhatfield]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if somebody could give me some information. I have a Matrix Chip Installed in my XBOX. The BIOS Checker told me it was:

Evox 2.5

Chip Type:
LPC BASED (SST 49LF020)

The guy that installed this for me said that it is the Matrix Chip (which it states on boot up screen) but when I open it up and it is a soldered chip with approx 10 wires.

My questions are:

Can I flash this BIOS using the EVOX.INI?

If so, if I download this off a P2P site how do I know if it is real or does the Flash Program check this for me prior to flashing?

And finally, if this process fails what would be my recovery process (do I need a special tool to reflash and do I need to remove te chip from the box to do so)?

Any help would be much appreciated.....

I actually spoke to the guy who chipped my xbox for me and for those of you who may benefit from this I found out the following:

-Can I flash this BIOS using the EVOX.INI?

Yes. I used Slayer's Auto Installer 2.1 and took a risk. It work fine.

-If so, if I download this off a P2P site how do I know if it is real or does the Flash Program check this for me prior to flashing?

I think that it checks the file first before proceeding (not 100% sure on this though)

- If this process fails what would be my recovery process (do I need a special tool to reflash and do I need to remove te chip from the box to do so)?

The only way would be to take it out a reflash. In my case I don't have the tools to do this.

I hope this helps some people out there.
