my histry is something like this,
firstly i installed the 1959 bioss on the 1234 bank and it was working fine ..
then i installed the evox m8 somewhere which is dashboardless but it runs with a different dip switch configuration ..
now the problem is that i tried to erase and flash the main bios from the menu with the m8_16.bin file .. which when selected couldnt boot and started fragging ..

i kno it's really messy now, but right now what i have is one evox bios which is nothing but an evox sign on the left screen .. no menu no nothing so i cant do anything from that one ..

cutting to the point, my question is "what is thelife saver for me now??" how can i get back to the blue screen I got the first time or how can i get the 1959 bios back when i have no visible way to flash my bios ...

Thank you

I have the same problem as do a lot of X3 owners, we have flashed our MAIN and BACKUP bios with bad flashes and now we have no bios to boot the Xbox from. So is there a way to re-flash the chips main and backup bios? That is what we need to know or do we send them back to be re-flashed … remember they have no bios on them to boot from ..

Re: E 74 error

Don't overheat you're xbox. You're shooting yourself in the foot if you want it to stay permanently fixed. Open it up, the traces between the gpu and ANA chip need reflowed (you usually can get away with using a heat gun). Might as well do the x-clamp mod while you're in there.
