You should provide more info...like what xbox version do you have. You still have the back-up rom but if you have a v1.6b, you won't be able to access that as well. If your xbox is v1.0 -v1.5, you can switch to the next bank or access the back-up by pressing power and eject button simultaneously.
I have a V1.6b . The 3935 x3 bios were already flashed onto the chip and it started stalling once i fiddled with the password protect feature and the chip wouldnt boot past the "xecuter rox my box" screen. I couldnt even get into the x3 config by holding the white button. it would just stop at that screen. So i decided that upgrading my bios to 3294 wud also be beneficial in general. but then while flashing the 3294 bios i closed internet explorer and now when i boot my box and try to get to the flash screen it comes on, shuts off, comes on, shuts off, then just comes on to an absolutly blank screen. if i the switch to normal it still does the same "xecuter rox mybox" screen but nothing else after. I hope there is a way to get back to my bios flashing screen cuz i have a whole bunch of stuff on my HD. If worse comes to worse i can just buy a new chip i guess. Any ideas?

3935 is not an X3 bios that's a dashboard built for Evox...3294 is the rigth bios for you but you have to make sure that it's X3_3294v16plus since you have a v1.6b xbox, however, you will not be able to access your back-up because that contains the flashbios 3.01 which is for v1.6 that's why you're getting a blank screen. BTW, what's your switch settings? Is it "off on off off off"? If not, try this setting and reboot...

Obviously, you messed with your banks "5678" which has your flashbios 3.03, your options are:
1. get a new chip
2. look for a friend with a modded non v1.6b xbox and flash your chip there
3. try to boot on your banks "1234" repeatedly until the flashbios comes out...there are threads that proves they had luck in doing this so good luck!

Yes, providing that your friend's xbox is not v1.6b...because you will be able to access the back-up which has flashbios 3.01 by pressing power + eject button and you can also set your switch to "on on off off off" to access banks "1234" which has the flashbios 3.01 as well, then all you have to do is flash your X3_3294v16plus.bin and transfer the chip back your xbox...ok i could just use my friends box and unplug his chip plug in mine and flash and then it back in my box and my chip would work again? as long as his box is a different version than mine?

If i buy a new chip and flash it and then put all new bios and everything back on it will i still be able to access everything on my HD fine? or will it be lost with the new chip and new bios? My HD is filled with stuff and i really dont wanna lose whats on it.
