Ok straight facts, I put the 2.6ce into a 1.1, chip went in perfectly, no problems at all.
My problem came when I made an extremely dumb error, following the tutorial posted on this site, I renamed the bios I was going to use (it was the x2 5028) but the problem was that I overlooked that there were 2 bios's in the folder I downloaded (one for 16 and one for old) and I renamed the 16 and put it on. Ok so now I jacked up one memory bank (bank one), I understand that. Bank 2 has not been written, so it still will load Flash BIOS 3.0.3. I also am under the impression that if you do a network flash, you can flash ANY memory bank on the chip and not just the one its switched to. (someone please correct me if i'm wrong there) so, theoretically I should be able to network flash bank one with the correct bios and fix my error. (my error is that if I load bank one I get quiet sound and no video, if I turn the chip off, the xbox boots perfectly.)
Well, my question is, is there a different way to flash bank one? Also, is it possible to use flash BIOS to http flash a 1.1 box? I am (as we speak) attempting to network flash bank one (by using bank 2's flashBIOS 3.0.3), but I can't get my computer to connect to the xbox...flashBIOS 3.0.3 tries to detect an IP then "falls back to 192.198.0.99", but when I type that address into IE, mozilla, or FlashFXP, it says connection error or no route to host. I know i'm using a crossover cable, and I know that its plugged in right because the ethernet port on my PC lights up, so what am I doing wrong? Can someone confirm that you can connect to a PC with a 1.1 xbox using flash BIOS 3.0.3? Any help would be nice.
