Mindaugas Petronis Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 So a day ago I got a 1.6 xbox with x3 (purple) model in it, and decided to flash force480p bios while I am waiting until my 1.4 with xboxhdmi returns from installer. Flashed that bios successfully, but console does not output any video signal. Also, about a year ago I had another 1.6 xbox with x3ce chip, and I do remember that force480p bios worked flawlessly. Anyone knows what the issue could be? Things I tried: Wiping X3 eeprom (a+b+x+y on bootanim) Downloading bios from multiple sources Flashing over various methods (http flash; ftp flash; flash from internal hdd) Flashing on both 1-4 and 5-8 banks Trying with different HD cables (I have component cables and chimeric systems hdmi adapter) Trying on 3 different tvs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 What was the name of the file you flashed to the X3 modchip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindaugas Petronis Posted April 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 should be X3 3294 v16plus(Force480p).bin just in case i tried flashing non-1.6 bios too, that one makes console reboot for 3 times of course, while 1.6 bios makes console boot normally (i guess? no rebooting happens) but i get no signal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaosEngineer Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 Are you using a component video cable? high-definition AV pack? You will not get any video out using the standard definition cable with yellow (composite video out), red and white (stereo analog audio) RCA jacks.

SS_Dave Posted April 3, 2021 Report Share Posted April 3, 2021 If you flash a normal 1.6 bios file like EvoxM8 does the video output work? Where did you get the X3 3294 v16plus (Force 480p) file from? Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing.

Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. yup, evox m8plus force480p bios works (tried x2 5035 as well but that didn't work either weirdly..) also i got it from force 480p bios collection archive, which i tried downloading from various sources (xbins, the-eye, these forums) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindaugas Petronis Posted April 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2021 normal x3 bios works as well by the way but i need forced 480p out for best video quality in some games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
