Xbmcmodsforxbox Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 yea im pretty sure you can but im not completely sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 (edited) Yes, you can flash other 1.0-1.5 compatible BIOSes to other banks. You can boot the backup BIOS (press power and eject to boot console) and reflash with the v1.0-1.5 console version of X3 Build 3294 after moving the chip or before moving the modchip, flash banks 5-8 with it and set the switch panel to boot from banks 5-8 on power up instead of banks 1-4.

KaosEngineer Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Generally, the problem is going from a 1.0-1.5 console to a 1.6. Make sure that the backup BIOS is FlashBIOS v3.0.3 for v1.0-1.6/1.6b console compatibility. From what I understand, FlashBIOS v3.0.1 runs only on v1.0-1.5 consoles.

nikeymikey Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 That is correct about Flashbuos. My mate had problems flashing his X3 back in the day because he hadn’t updated flashbios. I ended up putting his chip in my Xbox and updating flashbios that way. After that he was able to flash his chip in his 1.6 without issue.

eduardov94 Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 How can I update the flash bios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 Enter the X3 Config Live menu. To enter the X3 Config LIve screen if you've not seen it already, press and hold the White button when powering on the Xbox until it appears. There is a menu item to flash the Recovery BIOS (backup ROM) under Bios Tools, Upload the FlashBIOS 3.0.3.s dot bin file to the HDD (C, E, F,etc) to update/flash this BIOS (256KB in size). Select the drive and subdirectory/file as the onscreen instructions show. There's also an Xecuter X3 XBOX Modchip BIOS User's Manual online at http://x3.bustedchain.com. (Some menus may be different as it is based on the 3029 build) IIRC, DO NOT use Settings -> Password Protection feature it's broken. Doing so will lock you out without any way to get back in. A bug that was NEVER fixed before the Xbox 360 came out and Team Xecuter stopped updating the X3 BIOS. (There is an x3_erase.xbe Xbox app you can use to fix it but .???) P.S. There is mention of reflashing the BIOS may get rid of the password. Haven't tried. The bug might have just been in older releases too.

Ging3rguy Posted March 30, 2019 Report Share Posted March 30, 2019 Hi guys, why would you want to move the chip to a V1, is it a better box? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinGoutetsu Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 1.6 xboxes have what's considered the worst video encoder of all versions plus you can't ram upgrade plus v1.0/1.1 boards have a 1mb tsop so it can be split and flashed.

SS_Dave Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 The version 1.0-1.4 can all have the ram upgrade and can have the BIOS reflashed and the 1.6 needs a modchip or a softmod My preference is the 1.0-1.1 with 128 meg ram and a X2-5035.67 bios topped with the N64 freaks HDMI internal kit followed by the 1.2-1.4 with 128 meg ram and the IND 5004-67 BIOS both TSOP flashed Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.
