Hey, i appreciate any help you guys can give. I have a v1.6 and installed xecuter 2.6 CE with the 1.6 Xapt3R Package. I got the the flash bios screen, and i'm pretty sure it was the wrong one(didn't know at the time).

I went to flash the bios using X3_3029 bios. It scrolled yellow and green then shut off and now the xbox will not load up with the modchip enabled. It will load up with the modchip disabled. Do you know what i could do to take care of this? I tried to go here http://downloads.xbox-tribe.com/pafiledb.php?action=file&id=772 to get the M8_16.bin but i couldn't download it. SO i went here http://www.x-b-o-x.net/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=69 and got the X3 3029 .

Thanks a lot for the help, Joe

ok you flashed the wrong bios (big clue is the X3 bit.... its a bios for the Xecuter 3 chip) if you still have flash bios on one of your banks reflash with the correct bios for the 2.6ce ..... if you dont have flash bios then you will need a programer to reflash the bios or another xbox to do a hot swap with your chip ..... good luck

Hey, thanks a lot for the reply. Yea i don't know why i thought i had the x3 chip, i just got confused.
Anyway, can you give me a hand on how to do a hot swap with another xbox? I have no idea what i would need to do.
thanks again

Actually, one more question. I was able to flash bank 1 but want not able to do anything with bank 2. If the chip is enabled and it's on bank 2, it will try to power on for 1 sec, then shut right off. Now that i messed up bank 1, it's doin the same for bank 1 and 2. So I can't try to flash bank 2 or at least i don't know how i can.
Thanks again

The X3 bios is 1 meg, so you flashed both banks. To hot swap, boot the working Xbox/chip to flashbios, unplug the working chip, and plug yours in and flash. Be careful while doing this.
