ive got a hardmodded xbox with a excuter2 chip. i just formatted and used aid 4.5 one click modchip installer option with xbmc as my dash. after it finished i rebooted and it will only boot to the ms dash. tried deleting the trainer file (there was nothing in it). can someone help me out. i have no clue what to do next. i figured that using that option would have done it automatically. i dont know how to make ini files or were they would go even if i did so pls if thats what i need to do a step by step instruction would be great

Download x2 config manager. install it to your pc and use that to write your ini files and tell your bios where to find your default dash .xml.

hmm still didnt work. i might have made it wrong this is what my ini file looks like
; !!!!! DO NOT CHANGE THIS HEADER - THIS X2CONFIG.INI VERSION IS FOR X2 5032 !!!!!
; when flashing always be aware that if something messes up you need to be able to recover
; for example if flashing to a 1mb modchip make the first 512k X2 Bios and the second 512k FlashBios v3.0x
; see http://home.alltel.net/nghtshd/x2ool.html or http://x-projects.xbox-scene.com for X2 Config apps

; IF ANYONE IS MAKING CONFIG APPS FOR X2 - PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR INI OUTPUT IS 1:1 SAME AS THIS NEW FILE
; ALSO MAKE SURE ALL DASHBOARD PATHS ARE OUTPUTED AS LOWER CASE
; do not reset when pressing on eject
noResetOnEject = 1
; 255 characters max here, format is <drive>:<path_to_xbe>.xbe, e.g. "f:dashes\avalaunch.xbe"
; keep all paths lowercase just in case you have any issues with dashboards booting
dash1Name = e:xbmc.xbe
dash2Name = :
dash3Name = :
dash4Name = :
dash5Name = :
; the xbe name of the title image loaded from dvd on startup, 16 chars max!
dvdBootXbeName = default.xbe

I think you want to point it to the C: evoxdash.xbe since that is ware AID puts the short cut for your XBMC.

Most of the time it should work right from the one click install, what BIOS are you running on the X2 chip?

no thats the problem i bought it planning to softmod it a few days ago. i didnt even look in the box till i got home with it then saw it had the mod chip and a 120 gig harddrive in it. it was running evo x and had a old version of xbmc on it. then as i started looking around it had all kinds of pictures and pawn movies etc on it so i decided to wipe it out and do a fresh install on it. i have softmodded a few boxes however i know NOTHING about bioses and ini files and stuff. i think maybe the box was modded a long time ago however so the bios is probably really old. the chip is red in color and when i boot it says xcuter 2 were microsoft usually is. its also got a printer port on the back of the box right on top of the av port
