Blanked All bioses even Backup bios gone

[grandmastr]

XBOX v1.6. I have an alladdin in atm. I accidently blanked all my bioses after i stupidly used the backup bios for a 256k bank and then passworded my 1st 1mb bank so the kids wouldnt wreck it, thinking it would just prompt me for pass but instead locks u out of the config startup then i had my last bank which i booted from and tried 2 revive my x3 with flash x3 but somthin went wrong and nothing on any bank now. If i boot from the alladdin chip and swap it 2 the x3 i cant launch flash x3. as it prob needs the chip 2 run is there any way 2 get this chip flashed maybe by running both chips at the same time. Posted up ages ago just wanted 2 no if anything new out or whatever 2 fix my x3.

have you try backup bank power eject at same time

yes but as i said in title no banks work even the backup. I used flash x3 from the xbox hdd and it wiped all the banks. Thanku anyway

I have now installed a second pin header 2 try run both chips on boot or add the x3 chip after boot 2 run the x3 can this work. i tried hotswapping but as soon as i take the alladdin off the box will no longer run any more unsigned code. Maybe its possible 2 boot from the onboard bios but i dont no if i can flash a v.1.6.

FlashBIOS can't flash over the backup bios.
Only in X3 Config Live is where you can do that.

Not exactly sure what you did you lose your backup bios because it shouldn't be touched.

i had previously flashed my backup with a bios so it is useless 2 me i can boot it but it is just a ms bios i was messin with. my machine wasnt booting 2 the dash so i used that 2 test it. Forgot 2 flash it back when i was finnished

you will have to do a hotswap or a modchip installer may flash it with flashbios if you ask

btw its the original x3 chip aswell not the ce. I tried doing a hotswap but the chip when i unplug it from the pinheader the xbox doesnt like it. doesnt frag or anything but the hdd makes a few noises and i cant load any more apps. I need 2 have the xecuter 3 plugged in when i load the flashx3 app so i tried a different approach and soldered in the wired pinheader aswell. i boot up with the 1st mod pluged in then i put the x3 on the second pin header after boot seems ok get 2 lights on chip but then i cant run flashx3. Is there anyway 2 do this or what is this flashbios your talking about cause i thought that x3 chips can only b flashed from within itself or from flashx3 app u run on your hdd which is a modified x2 flash software which allows u 2 reflash the 1st bank using 1982beta.bios. Please explain what flashbios is. Thanks for the help.

flashbios is what you wood have used to flash your chip with in the frist place flashx3 will not work unless you have a working bios in the frist place
you need to check all your banks for a working flashbios
you have to do a hotswap this is your only option

I was hoping there would b another answer because no 1 i no has an x3. I tried asking a modding service and he wanted 50$ 2 do and he had no idea how 2 do it saying it would take 2 hours i installed mine in under 30mins so 2 hours and 50$ was a joke. I will just buy another and i have a pro switch so i can fix the original and use that in another box. Thanku for your help dj.
