Freaky BIOS situation

Post by /xbox »

So I decided to pull out my old XBOX (a 1.1 PAL) which hasn't been touched since around 2005 when I softmodded and then TSOP'd it with X2 4981.
Rebridged the TSOP points on top (bottom were left intact last time around) and flashed EvoX M8+ (F&G).

Swapped the hard drive with an old 320GB one I had lying around and also removed the clock cap whilst I had it open.

Everything was fine until today when I turned the xbox on and it has now reverted back to the original X2 bios and G has gone.

I have reflashed with M8+, Ind5004 and X2 5035 and ALL end up reverting back to the original X2 bios and removing the G partition.

Any of you experts got any ideas on how or why it's happening?

I am thinking I need to reflash a full 1mb retail bios and then start from scratch as I am at a loss as to why it reverts to a previously flashed bios unless its booting other banks?
