Guess What? Flashing problem!

I don't know what happened, but of course now I lost the built-in utility on my Xecuter 3 chip to Flash the BIOS. This utility was on Bank 2, and I always had bank 2 turned off, and turned on bank 1. I proceeded to flash that bank, but now my bank 2 doesn't work, so I lost the utility.

So, can I flash the Xectuer 3 (banks 3 & 4) using the Slayers v2.6 Flash utility? I'm a bit worried that something may kill my chip and/or Xbox now. In the Slayers documentation, it says:

5B) FLASH MOD CHIP of XBOX ON-BOARD TSOP

Flashing Modchips - Tested on the X2 series chips with 1 MB BIOS. Newer chips with built in OS's (i.e. Xenium, SmartXX, and X3) have individual bios flashing tools. Do not attempt to flash the chip using this installer unless your modchip supports flashing via EvoX.
So, does this mean that I'm SOL here or what? Can I user Slayers to flash the X3? If not, how can I re-flash the chip, since now there is apparently nothing on the chip to boot to.

Also, when I try to boot with the Power & Eject together, it only boots into the normal Xbox Dash, with modchip enabled (blue) light.

Thanks in advance!

FIXED

Okay, so I got lucky, I think! The Power/Eject Backup works now .. I guess I wasn't holding them in, but just tapping them.

After booting to the onboard 3.0.0 BIOS, I updated to the X3 build 1959 BIOS.

Thank you TeamXecuter for making that backup boot!!!!! :cool:
