boot into backup bios...flash the x3 with the evox m8 bios set the switches for a 256k bank eg Bank 8: off off off on
Then put the default.xbe file u have onto a disk with a 100M dummy file.
Boot your xbox with this disk and then it should erase your x3.
re-flash the x3 with an x3 bios using then enjoy

didn't understand you properly the first time i thought your box froze!!
OK so 3294 boots ok to a dashboard...simply press and hold the white button whilst the box is booting to get to Config Live.
Once in CFL you can reflash your backup bios with flashbios 3.03 and reflash your other 1M bank if you so desire with another copy of 3294.

ok so you dont have 3294 u must have evox m7 bios installed somewhere as it boots to the dash.
why dont you just ftp the default.xbe (erase file) to your c: drive in a folder called erase and run it through the filemanager in your dash.
I'm not familiar with the slayers dash,is it the evox dash?

do you have flash protect turned off..its a red light on the pro switch or switch 5 off.
make sure its off on the x3 chip too.
well now your cd works there is a tool to flash the x3 .

goto xbins xecuter3 folder and download and extract flashx3.rar.
the readme tells u what to do.
basically burn the xbe and the folders to a disk then set swithces to on,on,off,off,off ( ithink there is an error in the readme cause it says on for switch 5 which would turn flash protect on).
boot the disk and it will flash your x3.

never tried it myself but i am assured it works ok

I have problems similar to yours & I think something is wrong with the X3 erase file or something. I can't get it to work for me either. I have been tring to boot to it with a disk for wich I have made several different ones using different programs. I think the X3 3294 bios has a serious password problem or something. If you get it to work please let me know how you did it please!!!
