I have a new problem. Now that I flashed X3 M8+ to bank 1234, I cannot access any version of FlashBIOS. Not on the 256k Backup, not on any other bank setting. In fact, no other bios but X3 works now. I have/had EvoX on bank 5, but that didn't work. It seemed to boot fine, but all I got was a blank blue screen with no sound. Any help would be appreciated!
FlashBIOS 3.01

There's no such BIOS as X3 M8+ - Team Xecuter made X3 and Evolution-X made M8+.
If you flashed X3 3294, hold the white button down when booting to access X3CL. From here you can reflash any of the banks including the backup ROM. If the backup BIOS isn't working then I strongly suggest flashing FlashBIOS 3.0.3 to it.
If you flashed Evox M8+ to your chip, you'll need to make a boot disc and reflash it to X3 3294 from there using FlashX or other tools. It's been a long time since I've done it this way so support will be limited

Okey Dokey, I have to share this PC, Thats what took me so long. Lets see here, I think you messed up a little bro. But thats alright, We can fixer...
You're gunna need two files , The first one is called "flashbios_v303.bin", The second is "X3 3294 v16plus.bin". Notice the "v16plus", Thats for us. First of all can you hold down the white button and get to the X3CL screen? I sure hope so. From there we can flash your chip via FTP, Or from the Xbox HD, Or we can make you a bios flash disk. What we want to do is flash your backup bank with the 303.bin, Thats for emergencies. and we want 3294 plus on your main bank. I have it on both my main banks. 3294 plus is realy all you need, I don't even know if any other bioses support 1.6 1.6b boxes or why you'd want to use them. Once you get 3294 on your main bank, You need to install a dashboard. I recomend XBMC, or Evox. you'll also want an app called DVDtoXbox. Lets see, Look around here in the posts or google "Auto-Xbins 2008" That'll get you going. Configure X3CL to load your new dash where ever you installed it. Also you can get an "Autoinstaller" for installing your dash and apps in xbins if you want, I don't like them though. They sometimes install junk you don't need. If you get stuck just let me know, And I'll try and help you summore Nite Nite, Its 8:42am and I'm just goin to bed LOL...
