hi mate,
yup youve stuffed it but its not that bad.. Ive done it before..
this is how i fixed mine after a bad flash:
1) bought another 49LF020 modchip which comes already flashed from http://kangamail.com. Then i just changed the chip.. I didnt un soldier anything but only changed the chipped from its mainboard pod.
Then, once you boot your xbox with the new chip in (working bios) you can pop out the new chip (49LF020) and insert your old one (dead chip) while still on the EVOX Dashboard.. (be very careful)..
Then you can use the evox bios flash tool to reflash it.. Make sure you already have everything on your xbox when you are going to refash your dead chip.
Note:
I take no responsibility mate sorry, it worked for me 3 times now for 3 different xboxes.
I hope this helps
oh one last tip..
The XBOX only uses the chip (bios) on first boot.. So in otherwords just like i said up top .. .'Once it has booted you CAN take out the 49LF020 and reflash the old one '.
