How
To Flash X-ecuter2.0/2.1/2.2 Pro with a PC v0.03
(or how to use X-ecuter2 Bios
Manager)
=0by XanTium What you need :
- An X-ecuter2.0/2.1/2.2 Pro
- It's
best to use a DB25 Parallel Cable (male->female) of 0.6meter/2feet (if FCC
ribon cable is 295mm/11.61inches) 0.9meter/3feet (if FCC ribon cable is 235mm/9.25inches)
or shorter if you don't want verify errors.
- X-ecuter2 Pro should be INSTALLED
in your xbox before you can flash it (it needs power from the xbox). (headerpin
install - wire install
- pogopin
install)
- X-ecuter 2 BIOS Manager (X2BM) (download)
- You will need a cracked bios to flash on your
X2P , don't ask me where to get it , I can't help you. Those bioses contain MS
copyrighted code , so they can't and won't be distributed here. If you want to
run linux on your xbox , you can download the legal cromwell bios from xbox-linux[sf.net] 01/ Put ALL switches to "OFF" For X-ecuter2.0 Pro
It's very important
to put ALL switches to the "OFF" position!! 
For X-ecuter2.1/2.2 Pro
Put first 3 switches of blue/white
switches to "off". Put the 4th to "on" (write enable).
Put the silver/black
en/disable switch to "disable". 02/Connect your PC & X2P-external addon with the DB25 Parallel
Cable. 03/Unzip the X-ecuter2 Bios Manager.
Just use Winzip or Winrar
to unzip the archive. To launch X2BM , just click on "x2bm.exe" 04/Boot the xbox
All switches are on "OFF" so the xbox
will boot normally (with onboard bios).
The modchip has now power and can be
flashed. 05/Run X2BM
I'm not gonna explain into detail how X2MB
works, you bought an X-ecuter2 Pro and "Pro" stands for professional so you should
atleast be able to find out how sush an easy to use program works - else you should
have bought the X2L.
I'll just give a fast example how to flash the X2P.
Make
sure that "1024k" is selected at the right bottomside. Click on the first 256k
bank and hit the"Import" icon. 
Browse
your HD and select the bios you want to place on the first bank. X2BM will auto-detect
the "real" size of your bios. For example even if you select a 1MB version of
the X-ecuter2 bios, it will see it's actually a 256k bios. So it will automaticly
downsize the bios to the minimum size it needs. 
Now
fill the full 1MB. You don't have to flash 4 different bioses ofcourse , with
the "copy" and "paste" icon you can put the same bios on several banks. With the
"clear" icon you can remove a bios from on of the banks.
Some bioses are larger
then 256k , like debug bioses ... in the example below I added : X2 4972 v1 ,
X2 4974 & TACPX debug bios (512k). 
Now
click "Info" to check if everything is OK with your setup.
You should get "Manufacturer
code:01 Device Code: D5" 
If
you get:
00 00
88 88
it probably means one of your switches isn't put
to "OFF" If
you get:
FF FF
it probably means you console is powered off or chip has
no power (install problem on LPC points) If
you get:
EF EE
67 F7
44 44
11 11
99 99
it probably means you
have a problem with your DB25
Parallel Cable (wrongly connected on PC or on Xbox , too long , ...) Other
errors can be : problem with FCC ribon cable , problem with the modchip install
(LPC points - no power) , bad port setting. Once
you get "01 D5" , hit the "write" icon.
You will see the status bar at the
bottom 
After
flashing it will verify ... if you get errors here , it probably means your DB25
Parallel Cable is too long. Try to flash again , or get a shorter cable. 
Now
your X2P is flashed and ready for use!
