Bios flashing hell

Here's the deal.

The first time flashbios booted up. I started http flashing. Didn't rename the file to bios.bin(first mistake). I made the mistake of flashing a 1mb bios to banks 1&3, but it let me and started to flash...wierd. At the end of the green bar it said, flashing failed. I restarted the box and could not get flashbios to come back up. The backup rom wouldn't even work. When I woke up this morning, I tried again and the main flashbios wouldn't work, but the backup rom now worked... even wierder. I tried http again after renaming the bios and flashed to the correct 1mb bank of switch 2 on only. It almost finished flashing and then froze while flashing at about 3/4 of either the green bar or yellow bar filled (i don't remember. It was early). I ended up just powering off because I knew it wouldn't continue. but right before it powered off (like when I actually pressed the button), the progress bar filled up and said, "flashing failed...(some message. I missed the rest of it). It all said that in the millesecond between me pressing the power button and the box turning off. Now I can't get any bios to come back up again.

WHAT... THE... HELL?

I would check over your soldering VERY carefully....

If you have the switch on the chip set to protected, then your backup BIOS is fine.

Also, you don't have to rename a BIOS to bios.bin if you're HTTP flashing.

That wasn't exactly what I was hoping to hear.

I know I'm making mistakes, and I tried to follow the guide, but I kinda rushed through because I'm an idiot.

Based on my story, can anyone give me advise besides the solder point thing? I'm not able to try right now since my xbox has been temporarily parent-jacked because of my government grade.

We can't really do anything until you get your Xbox back.

Study hard, get your Xbox back and we'll take it from there.
