Can flashing the Bios cause FRAG?

OK I did something pretty dumb. I have a XBOX 1.6 and I just installed the X3 chip.

Flash Bios came on the screen and I selected to flash from http.
I fired up a browser on my Linux box and went to http://192.168.0.7
I selected the bios file x3_1959.bin and submited the form.

I saw on my TV screen the yellow progress bar...then the green progress bar.
Then the XBOX shut off.
I turn the XBOX back on......FRAG.

Things I think I did wrong.
I flashed with bank off off off off off
After more thoroughly reading the noob guid. I think that I should have flashed with the bank
on on off off off

I flashed bios x3_1959.bin and not x3_1959_v16plus.bin.

So is it possible that me messing up the flash is causing the FRAG? Is there a way I can boot from the backup bios and reflash?

I assume this is not a soldering/connection problem as the chip came up correctly the first time and allowed me to flash the bios.

Thanks for any help.

Any help on this would be great. I have searched for how to boot from the backup bios, and found nothing.

Did I ruin the X3?
Do I need to get another?

OK I found out that by pressing both the power and eject buttons that should boot me into the backup. I think I tried this earlier and absolutely nothing happened. No power, no FRAG, nothing. But I will try again when I get home.

since you've all ready did the liteon erase, just hit the device/intro button.

once you've erased you don't have to do it again.
