HELP! Flashed BIOS, then its Flashing Red & Green

So I'm having a problem.


This is the first time I have modded an Xbox. I installed the chip and eventually got to the blue flash BIOS screen. I followed the
FlashBIOS v3.03 Tutorial (Rev 1.00) so iunbelievably carefully. After the BIOS was flashed via CD-R, I restarted my Xbox and it went to the On off on off on F.R.A.G thing a lot of us have seen. Someone thought that maybe I had set my switches to the 0-1-0-0-0 setting while flashing, which would load this bad BIOS over the existing one on the chip (as far as I understood ) but I was sure I had set it to 1-1-0-0-0. I decided to try and start it up with the switches at 0-1-0-0-0, and it started up to the blue flash bios screen. So I think that this is good news. But now do I risk running the same BIOS onto this, or how do I get to… what should I do next? How can I make the normal settings work? Oh yea, and I cannot load the backup BIOS by pressing eject & power with all the switches set to off.



I have a V1.6 with an X3chip and tried to flash using X3 3029.bin

Thanks for the help guys

ok just set your switch back to on,on,off,off,off and press and hold the power and reset button at the same time and hold them tell the X turns purple then reflash but i would also download another bios file the one u have might be bad

Okay, then my next question would be: Is there any reason that the backup BIOS would not load by holding both buttons at the same time? I have no purple light. I have another modded Xbox, and it is real easy to load that backup bios on that one by pressing both buttons. So I know it's not like I'm simply not doing it right. But for sure, I should not try and load the BIOS onto the flashBIOS screen that comes up when the switches are 0-1-0-0-0, right?
