I orderd premod Xbox with x3 ce. the 300 gig Hard drive will be here tomorow I decided to goahead and flash via http like I always do. I used the x 3 3294 bin every thing looked great and it powerd down itself. well now it does a frag on that bank but weird frag it powers on and off three times then black screen ??

I haven't tried using Flash X3 yet so I have no idea how it works, If it's like the flashx for X2 chips then you need a hot swap to use it. The way I see it, the best possible way is to look for a modded non 1.6b xbox.

ok got pm try to find flashbios power eject at same time if you do not get flashbios try the 256k banks on chip if you find flashbios than reflash x3 with the x3 bios for v1.6 xbox once you have done that and you did not get flashbios by power eject go in to x3 bios and reflash backup to flashbios 3.0.3 not 3.0.1 that will not work with v1.6b xboxs
once you get every thing up and runing
DO NOT SET PASSWORD IN X3 BIOS
YOUR XBOX WILL FREZZ UP
You can fix it but dont do it
256k Bank
Bank 1: on on on on
Bank 2: off on on on
Bank 3: on off on on
Bank 4: off off on on
Bank 5: on on off on
Bank 6: off on off on
Bank 7: on off off on
Bank 8: off off off on

Not on this planet!
Bios Banks on X3 are as follows

X3CE
Banks 1-4 v3.01
Banks 5-8 v3.03
Backup v3.01 (Power and eject pressed)

Switch settings are as follows:

1MB Bank
Bank 1234: on on off off
Bank 5678: off on off off

As your box is a 1.6b you may have crapped out of luck in regards to getting back to a useable Flashbios, this is because the 1.6b's normally only work with v3.03 flashbios, if this is the case then your only alternative is to hotswap it and make good your bios.

1MB Bank

Bank 5678: off on off off are for 1mb bios the x3 flashbios is 256k so you have to use the 256k bank switch settings to get it i think you mean that flashbios 3.0.1 is on banks 123and4 256k and flashbios 3.0.3 is on 567and8 256k banks
and Bank 1234: on on off off
Bank 5678: off on off off are what you use when flashing tthe 1mb x3 bios

My LUCK Has Run out

Well First of all Id like to thank every one who has responded so quickly to help me
but this is what has happend now
after taking apart to see what version I put back together and it dosent power up I dont know what the hell and scince I dint solder this my self ( I Orderd Pre Mod) so I couldnt possibly screw anything up.
I dont know what to look for I know my power supply is different then the 1.6 b otherwise id just swap them to get my freinds christmas present to him
ANY ideas why magically no power??? and just to let ya know my skills I have moded abought 4 x boxes with no problems but they were v1.0-1.4
So I do Know a lilbit but the 1.6 I saw the rebuild and didnt wanna mess with it

Thanks for all your guys support!!!!!!
