Sorry if I sound like a someone who repeats common questions but my XBOX modding experiance is like ramming my head into a brick wall over and over again. So hear it is with as much detail as I can produce:
I installed an X3 mod chip with Flash Bios version 3.0.3 out of the box.
Everything is fine when I turn the XBOX on for the first time.
I can hold the on button and get MS XBOX to work fine (I played NHL 2005 to test my machine to make sure that it still worked)
Then I turned on Bank 1234 (on on off off) & turned off flash protection. My machine turns right on to the "Flash Bios 3.0.3" screen. Then gives me the 5 different options to load bios.
I chose load from disc. And use a bios I got from xbins called X3 Gold
The yellow bar moves across the screen
Then the green bar moves across the yellow
My machine turns off.
I turn the machine back on and it turns itself on and off a few times then it just FRAGs.
When I switch to another 1MB bank, my XBOX turns right on to the "Flash Bios 3.0.3" screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Is the Bank I flashed now screwed up?

One more seperate issue question.
If the X3 can hold upto 2MB Bios, then why are the latest Bios releases for X3 almost 3MB on xbins?

Sorry, but I am new to this and have already replaced one motherboard, one hard drive, one mod chip (I've even tried using the solderless adapter just in case my soldering skills might end up costing me) and I have no more fun money for another 4-5 months.

First off, they are all 1mb bios'. I personally didn't see the X3 gold?? A bootable I take it. But the latest is .3108 and the last stable build was .3029, resort to 1959 if you have to.

But the bios is 1mb = 1024k, flash to the 1234 bank like you are doing.

Check xbins again and un-rar the file

Also, when I had a problem, I had a good flash, and i could get flashbios, the x3 uses pins 13 and 14 specifically, double check and make sure the flow is nice blobs on those

Try flashing via http, it is so much easier if you are able to .

Thanks for replying so quickly. I have waited hours, days even on other forums.

Unfortunatly I am not doing to well when I try to http.
For some reason IE only shows a "page not available" over and over again. So I have been resorting to Disc flashing.

I am going to try again. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to further my modding enjoyment I would greatly appreciate all info. I have, let's just say, been away for quite a few years and I have chosen XBOX modding as a new hobby to keep me from getting back into trouble.

Thank You All!!!!
I will check back in tomorrow if time permits.
Thanks again shortacid!!
