Notes: Bios thats used in this package thats included is X2.4983.06 (newest at the time & newest raincoat at the time v0.7) I take no responsiblilty if this does not work for you or anyone else use this package at your discression. Tested on xbox v1.4
 
Prerequisits:Format the memory card that you will use prior to use. You can do this from MSDASHBOARD Then Memory option

1. Unscrew the Case 
	-6 Screws

2. Find out what bios your TSOP is 
	- continue only if its a winbond (should have a globe looking icon on it) otherwise its a sharp
	- I will be dealing with winbond but please note that a sharp uses different steps. 
	- Winbond needs raincoat to flash, Unsuccessful flashing bios from evox w/v1.4 Xbox must use Raincoat

3. Get Your bios. (if your going to be using anything other then X2.4981.06
	-Im using X2.4981.06 Please Consider for the newbies out there to use the .06 no need to use the 67 version.
	-Note if your wanting to change your bios file change it in these dirs
		UDATA\21585554\000000000000\raincoat
		replace your bios with bios.bin in the above folders keep same name "bios.bin"
		UDATA\21585554\000000000000\bios -ONLY CHANGE IF YOU PLAN TO TRY TO FLASH VIA EVOX DASH and NOT RAINCOAT
		
4. Find the make/model of your xbox
	-just distinguishing a 1.0/1.1 or 1.2+ (1.1 and below use different points)

5. Solder the points. You can use electrical tape around the points so that you dont' solder any of the wrong points.
	-Easiest thing for me is to just drop some solder on the points
	-No wires are needed since they are so close to each other
	-Last tip is.. that worked best for me is to place a small spec of solder "on the points" then melt it 

6. Once the points are soldered Turn on Xbox it will boot normal unless
	- Some solder got on the other points but this shouldnt happen if you took my advice above
	- Xbox will boot will boot normal but now the bios is writeable (if you did it correctly
	- unless its a sharp, then you have to do the TWIST method

7. Next Download gamesave hack
	- Transfer gamesave (splintercellsave_with_evox_raincoat-ntsc) hack from PC to a "MODDED" xbox through ftp
	- Then Transfer gamesave hack from MODDED Xbox to the formated memory card. (Memory option in MSDASH)
	- Note you will be copying 2 save game files over from this hack.(both have different icons)
	- Now Start your Soldered XBOX with the MSDASH and COPY The gamesave hack from the memory card to the xbox hd.	
	- Note be sure you copied 2 save game files to the HD
 
8. Reboot Xbox and Start Splintercell via CD and then load saved game from HD
	- Note if game does not exploit then your splitercell is patched obtain a older copy

9. Your Evox should be loaded now choose the option "Raincoat TSOP flash Utility" from the menu.
	-Or you can attempt to Flash via EVOX method but it failed for me
	-Run at your own risk

10. Run Raincoat You should hear some strange sounds and music and see the linux penquin Tux in the screen.
	-Note once raincoat has started you can telnet into the xbox

11. open dos prompt type: telnet 192.168.0.64

12. username: root

13. password: xbox
	-at this point i did have a error popup at the top about some userfile directory i ignored it and continued

14. type cd ../../media/E/UDATA/21585554/000000000000/raincoat

15. type ./raincoat -r orig_bios.bin <---- this is to backup yor original xbox bios.

16. type ./raincoat -p bios.bin <---- to flash tsop.

17. Reboot your xbox. You should have a new bios and you can install a new HD
