SUGGESTION: it would help if you keep this in the same thread as your prior so people would know the whole story from the beginning.

QUESTION: can you type out the exact name of bios you flashed?

Yeah but it comes in 2 flavors: 1) X3 3029 v16plus.bin and 2) X3 3029.bin. So which did you used. You have v1.0 xbox correct?

If you hold the power and eject buttons you'll boot the the 256k back-up bios... use this to flash the correct bios. Be sure to flash it with teh switches set to on on off off off.

now back to you before I log off. We know you have version 1.0 xbox and I guess you have used a Xapt3r for your X3 correct? You have set your switches to on on off off off. You have flashed using X3 3029.bin plus multiple other versions for Xboxes 1.0-1.5 and it didn't work?

try this first: switch your switches to off on off off off and flash with X3 1959.bin bios.

If the above didn't work. Disconnect the cable from the X3 chip to the X3 control panel switch and then flash.

I was going ot say to recheck your solder but of course remembered you have the xapt3r. Do you have all 3 blue lights on on the xapt3r? If so, I'm running out of ideas unless someone come up with something else.
