Patching BIOS with kpatcher support

Download the latest kpatch IPS file for your BIOS of choice.
Step 2
Apply patch to BIOS by following the link to the patching guide for the corresponding BIOS patch. (Due to legal reasons we can not distribute the BIOS files)

FTP the patched BIOS file over to Xbox. It's recommended to store the BIOS file inside of a folder on the C drive called 'BIOS' for future refrences.
Step 4
Flash BIOS.
Step 5
Set the newly flashed BIOS as the default BIOS.
Step 6 (Optional/Recommended)
Ensure that 'Instant Boot' is enabled. This automatically boot the default BIOS on power up.
