My friend got his xbox modded at system-mods.com with an X3 and a X3 control
panel. The chip is white and red. Now he wants me to flash it. At first I couldn't flash it because there was something wrong with the control panel. So I disconnected the control panel, and made sure flash protection was OFF on the chip itself.

Then I tried flashing throught HTTP with IE. I connected fine, chose my BIOS and and began the upload. The progress bar appeared, but a little above it, it said "Erase failed".

Also, sometimes when I turn on the xbox with the modchip enabled it goes to the FlashBIOS screen, but when I reboot the xbox it just turns on and off, and then frags. So I have to unplug the xbox and wait for a few hours before trying again. This problem was happening before I disconncted the control panel. Any Help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Check that your switches are set correctly. Try both 1mb banks.

Try reseating the chip on the pin header, make sure it isn't wobbly at all.
