I have a v1.3 xbox with a newly installed Xapt3r and Xecuter 3CE and everything was working fine until I attempted to flash the BIOS. I selected the HTTP update method from the FlashBIOS screen and on the TV it said the flash was successfull and it powered off when complete. But, after this I noticed that I flashed the wrong BIOS (flashed v1.6 BIOS I believe). I know stupid thing to do!!! Dohhh!!

Now, when I do a short push of the power button on the xbox it resets like 2 or 3 times and then flashes red and green FRAG. When I long push the power button the stock Microsoft Xbox interface comes up. But, when I press the power and eject buttons at the same time it still frags. How do I get to the backup BIOS on the Xecuter chip? I know it says to press the power and eject buttons to get to the backup but this does not seem to work. What now? Thanks for the help.

I forgot to mention that my xbox initially reset to the backup BIOS (external switch LED turned like purple) by pushing the power and eject buttons at the same time.
In other words everything worked as expected before I went "retarded" and flashed the incorrect BIOS.

I tried starting the xbox with those switch settings and no luck:
on on off off off Frag
off on off off off Frag

Do I just press the power button with these switch settings? Or do I do the power and eject buttons? Not really clear on this. Thanks for the help.

Man, I so wanted this to go smoothly!! :mad:

I can not get the xbox to boot from the backup BIOS. Tried quick power tap (Frag), Power and eject same time (frag), long power (original xbox interface), and all of the above with different switch settings. Mainly: off on off off off and on on off off off which is the one that I flashed the wrong bios.

Is there any other way to re-flash this BIOS? Am I missing something here? It seems as though most people have just booted from the backup bios with the Xecuter3 and re-flashed. I don't understand why mine won't boot from the backup? Thanks again for offering your help.:)

Yeah, power/eject board is connected and am getting 3 blue and 1 red on the Xapt3r. Stumped here! Gotta be something small I am missing.
