i can not navigate in the screen at all looks like its ready
for me to flash but i cant move there also it will not boot into the backup bios with both buttons pushed no matter how i put the dip switches in the front the light on the front showes purple but i get nothing
it works fine in origanal xbox mode..................................................................please help me im desperate!!!!!!!

 

I dont have X3 chip. however I try to help you out.

Do you have M8 bios in any bank of X3?

 

If you cannot navigate, I heard that you have to use a genuine xbox controller. I know on mine, I've got a Xenium, if I use my crap Madcatz I cant navigate the menus, but my Logitec cordless works fine. Just a suggestion.

 

i hope someone can help.
no idont grt any thing but the two screens one is the origanal xbox screen and the system works fine there, the other is flashbios screen and i cant navigate there (i do have xbox s controller).
im not sure of what is loaded on the chip i can not get the backup bios up.

 

hey i cant believe this.............for a dag gone week ive been trouble shooting this stupid thing for a week,
i read before i syarted that i need a xbox orig control so thats what i used but out of the heck of it i tried ms 6 year old son's cheap madcatz wireless and it seems to work,
i can move things around now so maybe it will work...... i hope so

 

Well you can read how to flash bios from teamxecuter

If you dont have the autoinstaller, you can follow this link and download it. It has everything like dashboards, bios, apps, emulators.

i just flashed the chip and it and is seemed to go good, it showed the bar loading and went through the whole prosc. but when the xbox shut down like it said it would and i went to restart it the xbox would not stay on, it shuts down twice then stays on and a red light
flashes around the eject button, this darn thing is getting on my nerves. in orig xbox it still works fine but i just get a blank screen everywhere else. dont know what to do!!!

 

which bios did you flash? Do you have any dashboard on Xbox HDD yet?
Does X3 boot? Can you try to stay on the X3 menu?

 

the mod chip does not boot, all i get know is a blank screen and red flashind light, i cant get anything else out of ot.
i have not put a dashboard on and i flashed it with x3 3294
did i do something wrong?

 

usually, after install x3 and turn it on you will see this


Then you flash x3 3294. Reboot than x3 should boot.

 

Shit!!!!
X3 3294.bin is for v1.0 - v1.5 Xbox Versions
X3 3294 v16plus.bin is for v1.6/v1.6b Xbox Versions.

Which bios do you have X3 3294.bin or X3 3294 v16plus.bin?

 

lol.........i did see that screen, i did flash the bios and when it completed it shut down the xbox like it said it would but when i turned it (the xbox) back on it shut down and then came back on by itself and after a few seconds the light flashed red around the eject button and nothing on the screen and it still wont boot up the backup bios

 

thats what happened i bet wrong bios.
it was the x3 3294.
if this is the prob what do i do?.....lol

 

Do you any autoinstaller CD/DVD or any bootable CD? Try to turn xbox on with that CD inside xbox's DVD.

 

dont understand....autouninstaller????????
what is this im a newbie...lol..lol
the way i flashed the bios was network.
i hope you can help me through this!!!!!
are you saying i may be able to remove the bios i put on by booting into a disk?

 

the autoinstaller disk which has everything like dashboard bios apps emulators etc... And it is also a bootable disk (boot without dashboard on HDD). Read here and download it. Then burn it to CD or DVD.

Hi guys..I have the same problem..I've installed my X3 No Problems with it whatsoever..Just got a copy of Nero 6 and I finally got to burn BIOS on DVD. It took me a while to figure it out but my xbox (v1.0)finally started reading them. I installed the bios X3_3294(v1.0-v1.5) successfully...However when the xbox turned off(like it was suppose to) I could not turn it back on. It turns on for a second and goes back off. I have the switch too and I had the ON ON OFF OFF OFF like said in the tutorials.
-I pressed the On/Off & Eject button at the same time and i got to the same screen as when i first turned on the xbox (after X3 was installed.)
-Tried to install 3294 for v1.6(although mine is a v1.0) same thing happened. I did the two buttons again and I installed 3284 bios(thought installing a different X3 bios would help)Nothing happened except the xbox side would work(Before it told me something was wrong with it & that I had to go and Check it) but still didn't solve the problem of booting the xbox when trying going to the x3 menu.
My question is How do you actually know if the bios are installed. I know I got everything as the tutorials when installing the X3 bios..but none of 'em show you what the screen should look like or what happens after bios are installed..Is the X3 menu suppose to look different or is it the same?I doubt is the Bios that won't let the xbox turn on.I tried two different X3 bios and the same thing happened..could it be something wrong wtih the switch?

 

When you flash X3_3294(v1.0-v1.5), you save it to 1MB bank on x3 right?

 

Yes I did...I had the switch at ON ON OFF OFF OFF (as it was said in the tutorial. Is the screen suppose to look different after bios are installed?

 

After successfully flashing, you will have a different screen. Did you disable the protection?
So right now you are still at the same screen. "Flash bios 3.0.1"
