Sounds like you might need to resolder pins 13 14 15.

I think he flashed the wrong bios. If he could flash at all that means his solder was good.

what ver xbox do you have and what bios did you flash?

Well I was able to flash to my x3 but I had the same problem, resolder the 13 and 14 pins and I had video again. I think those are the I2C pins the x3 bios specifically controls.

Help!

i dont know anything about soddering , this was a premod.
i used a x3 chip , not sure what version of xbox i have. was told no way its a 1.6 if that helps. all i know is that 3108 bios was used. i get video but no audio. someone told me it might me a VGA setting,. if thats it , how do i get to that setting?

now ive flashed using http , with the 3108 bios, and i cant get my FLASH BIOS SCREEN to come up at all by pressing the power button and eject, and my xbox wont do anything but blink yellow around the eject button , please i beg of u guys to help!

Crap, I already suggested you try holding the power+ eject button in the other post you made. Did you try switching to bank 2 then trying FlashBIOS (power + eject?)

-Not sure if that'll help but it's worth a shot.

i went ahead and flashed with the 3029 bios now i got it to boot up
can someone tell me how to play the back up games now?
and how do i disable the chip so i can play my normal games?

 

[GroovyDude]

well i thought i had it fixed but now after it sits a minute IT CRASHES ! wtf?

I think you have to slow down a little. Have you figured out what ver xbox you have yet?


I'm assuming it's a ver 1.0 - 1.5 because I think you've booted of the backup bios...

How many times have you messed with your dip switches on the front of the xbox?

What banks have you flashed to?

Try this... and go slow.

Get to a flash bios screen. You've done this before so... do it again.

Once you get the screen up set your dip switches on the front of the Xbox to on, on, off, off, off

Then use the http option to flash the 3029 bios... not the 3029_ver1.6_plus or the 3108_ver1.6_plus or any other crap. Make sure you have the 3029 for ver 1.0 to 1.5...

Now that you have the right bios... go take a break, get a coke and a smile and come back later...

Ok, now check again that you have the right bios... now check your dip switches again...

Ok, flash it and see what happens.

Tell us if it worked.

A little problem with the logic there Catalyst, just because he can get to the backup Bios does NOT measn he has a 1.0-1.5 Xbox, it simply means he does not have a 1.6b.

So please do NOT rule out the X3 3108v16plus Bios UNLESS you have verified exactly what version you have!

i have 3029 bios with 1.4 version xbox
got it working , then after 15mins of play it crashes to an orange light,then it wont worki at all unless i let it sit for like hours and hrs
