Silver Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I have an xbox with a X3 CE chip installed with the attached bank switches. I was able to update to flashbios 3.0.1. Bank 1234: on on off off This xbox does not get passed the Xecuter boot screen when I short press the power button (chip enabled). If I long press the power button (chip disabled) I get code 13. If I long press the power button with an original xbox game in the DVD drive the game runs no issues. I am also able to reach the flashBios screen by long pressing the eject an power buttons together. I bought this xbox a while back and have been trying to make it work properly. I believe I'm missing another bios file but I'm really not sure. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Best case scenario, you’re just missing a dashboard and now can’t boot into anything. If you have the ability to burn a DVD-R I’d definitely burn a copy of OGXBOXINSTALLER and see if you can install a dash. Being that you’re able to boot into a disc is a good sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's time to flash the X3 BIOS Build 3294 to the modchip using FlashBIOS's network flash option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlsnapper Posted Friday at 02:12 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:12 PM Sooo, are you up and running now, fully? The X3 should have already had a copy of flashbios stored in its 256k backup flash bank, which can be booted by pressing power and eject simultaniously at powerup. The backup bank is isolated and separate from the 8 256k (2MB) flash banks for safety. Hell yeah, links are allowed. What do you think this is, 2005? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I press the power and eject buttons I get the flash bios screen. I don't really mess with the switches. Hopefully today I should be up and running.

Itˋs 1&2 for the first 1MB bank (1234) and just switch 2 for the second 1MB bank (5678). You can also have NO switches selected for the first 1MB bank, which is a contingency created for a situation where you donˋt have a switch panel hooked up for whatever reason... or if the switch panel fails, somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
