Well the back up bios is working which is a good start. Have you definitely erased banks 1-8? Try loading X3 config live by holding the white button on boot up, try it with 1,2 on 3,4 off then 1,3,4 off 2 on.

what methods of loading bios from flashbios have you tried? Try the write protect in both directions.

try installing an earlier version of the X3 bios and make sure it is the right version for your box.

unknown flash, halting! means the flash memory chip is write protected.  It cannot be reflashed while write protected.

The first two bytes the flashing software obtains when reading the chip id - manufacturer ID and product ID are 0x09 and 0x00 (the first two bytes of the BIOS) not the chip's ID bytes.

When you posted you had a backup did you mean a backup chip or that you could load the backup bios? If you have a 2nd chip you can do a hotswap and boot the X3 erase.xbe once you have ftp’d to your hdd.

Where can I download the X3 erase.xbe file?
