you have flash the chip with the wrong bios for x2
X3 3294 V1.0 TO V1.5 xboxs
X3 3294 V16 PLUS V1.6 1.6B xboxs
try back up bank power eject at same time or on on off off off
or try all 256k banks for flashbios

if you can,t find it you will need a xbox app called flashx3 (find it at #xbins under x3 bios) there is a app called flashx2 its for the x2
when you run the app it will say its a flashx2 but the app has been rewitten for the x3
now open flashx3 download to find a bios folder place flashbios into that folder

flashbios 3.0.1 for v1.0 to v1.6 xboxs but not v1.6b
flashbios 3.0.3 for v1.0 to v1.6b xboxs but not v1.6

now ftp the flashx3 to apps folder in your xbox reboot
run flashx3 do hard drive flash and flash 1 256k bank with flashbios (on on on on off)
after you have done that bootup in bank 1 then change back to on on off off off with out turning off xbox then flash the chip with x3 bios
if you have a v1.6b xbox flash your backup bank with flashbio 3.0.3 using the x3 bios guide below

Things so easy to fix shouldn't be so difficult to look up.
X2 bios has not ruined the chip, and you can use a flash utility to flash the X3 bios. You are not stuffed.
You also needed to supply more information for people to help, I'm assuming you have a 1.6b by the fact that you had switches on (off on off off) and backup bios does not work.

The only way you can update the backup bios is through the X3 bios.
DJBOOBY has given you more than enough details to do this all.
