FRAG Please Help

Hi and thanks ahead of time for any help!

I am new to all this and just learning so please speak slowly so I can understand as I am a little slow when it comes to this stuff.

I have a v1.1 xbox and I am trying to "mod" it.

I purchased these 3 items:
-Xapt3r Xecuter 3 Solderless Adapter compatible with v1.0-1.5
-Xbox Xecuter 3 CE ModChip
-Platinum 200GB Hard Drive Combo

I searched and searched for info how to install and use these items but I think I have confused myself more than anything. Too much info from too many places and got lost trying to keep track of it all.

So far I removed the solder from the holes on the motherboard
and then installed the Xapt3r onto the mother board and then powered on and got 4 lights in this config:

Blue Red

Blue Blue


I installed the "switch bank" all are pushed to left and connected it to the mod chip

I installed the power switch adaptor and conneted the yellow power switch cable to it and the 2 wire red to the connection next to it and then connected the adaptor to the mother board and the red 2 wire to the connector on the mod chip

I plugged the mod chip onto the adaptor

I installed the 200gb hdd

I then reconnected the dvd drive

If I just touch the power button quickly the box turns on then off then on then off and then just flashes red/green

If I hold the power button down the box starts to "boot" up and then give me the error screen "05" saying need to contact xbox support. I checked on "chipito's" web site and found that this has something to do with the hdd being unlocked don't know how to fix this either.

I then changed my HDD back the original and hold down the power button and the xbox boots up to the enter time screen.


If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it.

I have read about
-flashing your bios ......
-Loading Dashboard......
-Saving games to HDD
-Connecting xbox to my laptop. My laptop is wifi in my home I have a wireless router srx200 linksys can I just plug my xbox into my ethernet jack on my laptop?

As you can see I don't know much about software needed or exactly what is wrong with my install so please help.

Thanks
Scott

 

you will need to flash you chip with the bios,here is a link for the
X3 Bios

here is a site for the X3 if you get confused
http://x3.bustedchain.com/
before you can format the Hd you will need to Flash the bios....

 

Thanks,
from what i have seen it looks like i need to get to a main x3 screen to be able to do this. as soon as i boot i get on/off, on/off on/ FRAG never goes past this and cant go anywhere once it is falshing red and green. I may be wrong and be able to do this some other way if so pleasae let me know

 

this has to do with a bad connection on the motherboard 2 wires touching eachother or anything like that make sure your chip is in right....

 

I have moved, adjusted, moved, and wiggled the xapt3r probably 100 times now. I have tried every combination on switch bank and I know DO is correct. Dont know what else to do.

 

when you remove the chip does it still frag?

 

no only when the chip is on the xapt3r it FRAGs

when chip is off xbox boots to normal xbox and can play games and all

 

there should be a switch on the chip for flash protection which needs to be set to off?

 

it is set to off (unportected)

 

alright the fifth switch on the external bios board is also a flash protection switch...i would turn the switch on the chip on..and use the external switch to turn flash protection on/off see if this works...

 

no luck
