Tutorial written by : Alkane from EFnet (#xbins, #xbins4newbies, #xblive)

Special Notes:
I did not write the original guides (credits at the end); I am simply combining the current guides and updating them with new information. Please note that I do not take responsibility for you damaging or destroying your Xbox, loss of profits as a result of using this guide, you becoming permanently banned from Xbox Live, or legal action being taken against you by Microsoft or its partners. This tutorial is not for the newbie and will likely render your Xbox unusable if you do not know what you’re doing.

Warning:
Please note at the time of this writing, EEPromer (v0.45 and below) does not support the locking and unlocking of v1.1 Xboxes, doing so will render your Xbox hard drive useless. Read the documentation that comes with your version to see if it’s compatible. If you’re using a v1.1 Xbox and have an incompatible version of EEPromer use this guide instead: here (written by Zander).

Requirements:
1. Xbox with modchip that will allow the booting of the EvoX Dashboard
2. New replacement eeprom.bin
3. EEPromer

Procedure:
BACKUP CURRENT EEPROM:
1. FTP to your Xbox
2. Copy over EEPromer and run it
3. Press A to backup your EEPROM
4. Now exit EEPromer and FTP to your Xbox
5. Go to partion Z on your Xbox and copy both savedeeprom.bin and savedeeprom.txt to your computer for backup.

FLASH WITH NEW EEPROM:
1. While you’re still in partion Z on your Xbox and copy your new EEPROM (make sure it’s named eeprom.bin) from your computer to your Xbox.
2. Now run EEPromer
3. At the menu press X to unlock your Xbox’s hard drive
4. After it has been unlocked, press and hold both the left and right triggers and press B to flash your Xbox with the new EEPROM.
5. After your Xbox’s EEPROM has been successfully flash, press Y to lock the hard drive using the hard drive key from your new EEPROM.

XBOX LIVE:
If you’re going to play on Xbox Live make sure your modchip is off or you will be banned again. You will need the original copies of the games you want to play online.
