Everything BUT the x3 bios works on my x3 CE?

[b0y]

Why is this happening? I flash it with anyother bios and they work fine. I try to put on x3_3294 and it goes past yellow but then on the green bar it stops 1/3 of the way. I tryed searching for awhile and couldn't find a solution. Can anyone explain this? Switch settings are on on off off off.... xbox 1.0
Thanks

check your install again

Pin 13+14 are used by the X3 bios, other bioses don't use them.
Check those pins especially and reseat your chip.

Pins 13+14 are usually only a problem once the bios is installed. It should still flash OK.

Check your switch settings again, or disconnect the switch cable from the chip. This will force the chip to boot to bank 1234

sounds like your bank setttings are wrong. boot it up then turn the switches to on on off off off and try again.

Yes, I guess didn't read the whole post properly and went by the topic. Since it didn't completely flash it is either a switch problem or installation problem.
Reseating does help as well though since sometimes it tests how well your installation is when a pin may come loose while trying to reseat it.

to clear things up I have the wire install since the pin header wasn't working and I am producing the same results.

Same results as what?

As in I can't flash the X3_3294 bios. Only the Evox M8 or the Xecuter bios that dont have config live. And I've also tryed someone elses xbox. Still the same. Probably a bad chip.

Have you tried disconnecting the X3 switch cable from the chip?

 

[b0y]

Yes, I've done that already. still the same.

I've had it flashed once before with the x3_3294 bios it worked fine. then I connected the x3cp. ever since it can only flash non- config live bios.

check your pins were the switch plugs into chip as well as switch

Okay I just checked the pins on the chip some were bent I unbent them and I flashed it succesfully. I broke a pin though. Doesn't matter atleast it works.
