Flash Freezes at 1/4th.

Hey, I'm having trouble flashing bios onto my x3. I've tried putting X3_1959 onto my 1 meg banks and every time it freezes. This has been tried over the network via http and by using cd created with nero. I get the same results everytime. Also I have been using flashbios 3.0.0 from the backup bios chip.

The mod was installed on a 1.0 xbox with a Xapt3r. It seems to be working fine execpt for the flashing. What alse can I do to get this working? Thanks.

Some more info today. I can succesfully finish a flash with an x2 bios. I resized it to fit the 1mb bank and that flashed 100%. I then tried the 1957 X3 bios and the flash stopped at 1/4th again, same thing as the 1959.

I'm using a xapt3r on a 1.0. The xap3r is flush with the mobo and it seems to be working because when I test it the blue LEDs come on and the red LED flashes. As far as I know all the LPC holes were cleaned out nicely. So, what does this all mean? Is my xap3r not working correctly, or is it the x3? A helpful reply would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same exact problem on a 1.4 xbox using both flashbios 3.0.1 and 3.0.3. I am also able to flash a totally different 1mb bios. I did a headpin install. The weird thing is that it flashed the bios fine earlier in the day and after some playing around I needed to reflash it and now I'm getting this problem at 25 percent.
