I have not gotten it to flash yet.. I will try once I get home tonight. I am still looking for the evox M8_16 file....
how did you do it? I was told to flash with the x3 3294 v16plus.bin then flash with the evox M8_16 to a different bank and that will allow the xbox to boot the autoinstaller CD.. THen you can format the hdd and install the dashboard.
you need to download and install the mIRC and FlashFXP. Then follow this instruction. Just do what it said. http://www.xbox-scene.com/articles/xbins.php anything you need, xbins has it.
I am with you... see the previous posts and try to get those files.. x3 3294 and the evox M8-16 depending on the version of xbox you have.
I would say first go to www.xbox-scene.com and go through the version checker to see what version your xbox is, then you will know which files to install.
I suggest you guys keep your original HDD. Because you will need it later. Just get any other 10GB or bigger HDD. Plus it in then format it and install dashboard.
Make sure read this first before doing anything. YOu have to know how to switch banks in order to install different bios on X3. http://home.comcast.net/~x3guide/Old/index.html

M8plus_16.bin Is also based on the 5838 kernel and has the same features as M7. It will ONLY work on XBOX version 1.6 and 1.6B. Thanx to Team Executer for bringing attention to this issue. Thanx to Franz for uncovering the problem. Enjoy your new BIOS
these 2 bios are illegal. Nobody put them modchip and sell it. you have to do it yourself. X3 BIOS Build 3294 is for X3 chip only. So X3 can config Live. Evox M8plus BIOS is the bios to load autoinstaller CD, dashboards. That is why you flash them into 2 different banks of X3.
i think i found out why it was saying haulting on you jt your flash protection is on mine was off acording to the light but it was switched for some reason so move the switch on your chip and then try it oh yea if you need the x3 file i have it and can send it to you just pm me
