I have a crystal xbox 1.6b (hynix ram) and installed a xecuter3 SE. I originally was not able to use any of the bios' other than when it was (off, off, on, off), and i would get to the 3.0.3 bios. I tried to flash to the X3_1959_v16plus bios, but didn't change the front panel switches. The bios loading process froze at 1/4 of the way, i was forced to reboot. I know, I know, im a idiot. Anyway, before i sent it back to have it reflashed with 3.0.3 i tried to hotswap it with my computer following this tutorial.

It seemed like it was all working well, but when i got to the final step of swapping the hard drive back with the xbox i couldn't swap it so that it would boot evolution-x. I got fed-up and got the supplier to reflash the chip with bios 3.0.3 on the primary bank. Meanwhile the xbox will no longer go past the ms splashsceen normally and now goes to an error 6 service required screen.

I have got the chip back now and when i try and boot if off the primary bank it shows the normal ms spash screen, followed by a different error 6 screen (oops, something is wrong screen). The X lights up blues and, both lights on the chip are on. The other banks i believe are still version 3.0.1 and just end up a black screen. I am really confused are would really appreciate it if someone would help me with this. I thank you all in advance for reading this lengthy post and your consideration regarding this matter.

hold your eject and power button will turn on your xbox under 256k flash mode and your bank panel (if still intact with chip) led should turn purple, this is your back up space and flashbios should appear, scroll down to "Lock Hard Drive" and it will restart. Turn off the xbox and back on, disable the chip and try to go to the regular ms dash, see what happens. :)

when i try and boot to the backup 256k back-up it is a black screen. I think that its still bios version 3.0.1. it is still really screwed up and im worried that its going to never work again.
