Yesterday I flashed my BIOS for the first time with x3 3294. Everything seemed to work fine because after it flashed and it shut off. Then I turned it back on and it went to Config Live then I formetted my new hard drive and did the things I wanted,but I didn't put any dashboards in. Then after I shut it off again for awhile I turned it back on and it did the flubber animation and went to the xbox logo with the "xecuter rox my box" below it, then it just stays their and nothing will start up.So does anybody how to get back to Config Live from that screen?

The only other things I did was play with the flubber animation a little and set it to the correct date and time.

Yeah I think I did put in a password at sometime in their. So is their any way can still put in my password or get into config live from the xbox logo?
you will need to install dash before it will boot to one
to get back into x3config hold white button on controller when booting xbox till you see x3config

There's a known bug with X3 3294 and passwords.xboxman22 said:
Download a non X3 BIOS and flash to your chip (X2 or Evox M8 will do).
download my boot disk:
h t t p://w w w.megaupload.com/?d=8XYSCZNH
follow the instructions within and burn to a disc.
Boot it up and select the option to erase X3 EEPROM.
Once you've done this, reflash with X3 3294 and don't set a password!!

I burned the boot disc correctly with nero 7 on a cd-rw and it doesn't want to boot up at all and yet just still stays at the xbox logo. So does anybody know whats going on?

No. Because before I even started asking questions about my problem I tried to reflash it with the same BIOS to see if it would reset its self. But it still did the same thing so now since I already used flashBIOS 3.0.3 I have no way to flash the BIOS. So I can't think of anything but to get a new chip since there is no way of fixing this one.

For some reason the backup BIOS won't come up. Did I have to back the BIOS when I was in Configlive that one time? If so then my chip is probably screwed.

yes and no if you wish to disable it as well as get into backup bank then yes
if you wish for your chip to be on all the time and not get backup bank then no
