Hi i have a working xbox 1.0 with x3 and 3294 installed and i tryed adding a new hdd from x3live i wanted to play with setting on the bios (bad idea) now i can't get into the bios at all. i tryed the eject+power, and holding the white button and flashing and it wont work, i set jumpers to on on off off off still nothing, how do i remove a bios/or clear the chip, also i think there are other bios on the other banks :| thanks! also do i have to keep trying to hold the white button when booting or when it displays 'rox my box' then i hold it? thanks!

There's a glitch with the new X3 BIOS, whereby the password prompt doesn't appear.

Flash the chip with an earlier version (pre 1900's) and you should get the password prompt back. Clear it and reflash - I still use X3 3108 !!

What if the password prompt does not appear, where can I dig it out from?
