Xecuter 3 problem flashing with X3 1959

I did get a copy of X3_3029, however I am still getting the same error when trying to flash.

 

If it is possible, please upload any "useful information" i.e. directions, .... etc. to:
ftp:\\12.210.69.253

Thanks.

 

it is the very first thread in the software forum...tells you exactly where to obtain bios's etc...

Thanks for the instructions, I followed them, and got the X3_3284 bios. I think I am going to have to check my soldering because it is still giving me the following message:

"Got Bios Image Over Http, 262144 bytes.
Unknown flash! Halting."

Any last ideas before unassembly? Thanks again for all your help.

does your xbox boot to Flashbios? if it does, then your chip is installed properly...what version xbox you have? if you have a 1.6 make sure you use the 1.6version of the x3 bios.

 

Yes, it boots to flashbios fine. "Read Only" flashes during the initialization for the bios when I turn it on however. I believe I have all the jumpers in the proper locations. I have a v1.0 box.

on,on,off,off,off

you are using that setting for the jumpers?

 

By the jumpers, do you mean the ones on the external switch? If so, I've tried on, on, off, off, off. As well as off, on, off, off, off. Neither have worked for me.

I created a Bios folder on the hard drive, and tried doing a load from hdd, however, I get the following error message:

"
Unable to get first sector
Load FATXCLUSTER: Out of data while loading cluster 1
Unable to get first sector

"

Hope this helps. Thanks again for the help.

you extracted the .bin file right? you trying to flash from a disc or over the network?

do you have msn messenger?

 

What format is the file supposed to be in after extracting the .bin? I've tried flashing from a disc, from the hard drive, and over the network without luck. I'll get on MSN tonight ~6:00 Central. jayh99@hotmail.com

 

After talking with the guy who soldered the chip in, I found out the internal chip has a right-protect switch on it. I'm going to check that out, and I'll post back later on.

 

*write-protect

 

The switch on the chip was my problem. Thanks everyone for all of your help. It is greatly appreciated.
