I think you have to use raincoat to flash the bios , I havent tried it and i think it is risky , do a search for raincoat on the forum ..

you should look into raincoat, but lets not discuss flashing non cromwell based bios's here, check x-s.com

i have the smartxx2 modchip,
on the dashboard i have several banks to install up to 5 different
BIOS.
so i think i can flash the cromwell bios over webinterface on my xbox onto one of this banks.

where can i get this cromwellloader file ?
i think it should be a *.bin file.

thanks for advice

the new versions of boxes come with the 256 version, the old ones have
1024. You can easily check it by typing raincoat -r.
The only question is to get raincoat and the bios images on your machine.
