Noob with x2.3 lite v1 Needs help

Ok.. I got the chip installed, I boot up the xbox and it comes to a blue screen. Now I have seen this happen in other threads, but here's where mine is different. It doesn't ask for the cd with the bios on it.. I burned correctly, but it doesn't flash. Does anyone know what the problem is, it's 4am and I am ready to throw the xbox out the window. Also without the chip I get a call xbox support with a 16 in the top left corner. Could this be the root of my problem? Any help would be apreciated!!!

 

scratch the 2.3, I have a 2.6 sorry.

 

what media are you using for the bios disc?
(use a cdrw)
it might look weird, but I find setting the bios disc up like this works well
aaa.zip (dummy file around 80mb)
BIOS.BIN (correct bios type, dont use a 1.6 bios
unless your xbox IS a 1.6)
zzz.zip (dummy file around 80mb)

make sure the bios is simply called BIOS (you dont have to type .bin as it knows its a bin file, just rename it to BIOS) also make sure you just burn it as a data disc, not a xbox iso.
Also make sure the center switch of your x2.6 chip is set to "unprotect" (red LED)
regarding the error , error 16 is a dashboard error, is it a standard retail xbox hdd? or one you replaced?
Let me know how you go re- the flash disc

 

the disc is a verbatium cd-rw. I am using the x2_4983.06_256k bios. The original hd is shot. I bought it with the error 16 already there. I am putting a 120gb drive in there. As for the dummy file, you are suggesting that I just make zip files instead? The center switch is set to off. I will tell you how it goes after I get off of work. I hope it works.

I should tell you that the FlashBIOS screen doesn't even ask for the disc.

 

Nothing happend.. It didn't ask for a disc. here's what's on the screen

FlashBIOS 2.6.0
for help go to teamxecuter

ata 43bit lba supported
HDD
DVD


Load BIOS from disc
Load BIOS from HDD(c:\BIOS\)
Unlock HDD
Lock HDD

That's all that's there. Any suggestions?

 

OK.. I fixed it.. turns out I needed the xbox BIG controller because the bios wasn't recognizing the usb controller

 

HAHAHAH how did u come across figuring out that!!

 

I came accross a forum in teamexecuter that said the flash bios 2.6.0 is very picky about what controller I use. So after 2 days of hunting, I found one and the rest is history.. It's pretty stupid that was the case.

 

lol

 

so wag, were you succesful in loading the new bios?

 

yes. everything works great. Media center, evox dashboard. everything.

 

what bios did you use? and how did you set up the boot disc?

 

wuhooo nevermind, i changed the size of the 256k to 1mb, then it worked, and now i just need to ftp my xbox to get evox back on, thanks everyone
