I am going to reflash with the new BIOS release, and wanted to know how to reflash it?
Just start it up on Backup mode, then flash it like I did via HTTP before? Leave all the banks the same just flash over it?

i was just about to ask the same thing.
i would like to do the same.

i would like to backup with new BIOS on the same banks that my other bios is on. 1-2 = on the rest off.

i got a X3CE/XBOX 1.4

any help? how would i get to the flash bios screen?

Mmm flashed it. (i think) and lost everything on my F:\
dunno why. dont mind loosing everything. just needed to know what it could be

the way i did it was.

press EJECT + POWER button. ( Bank 1 & 2 = on the rest = off )
then i flashed via HTTP ... is that correct?

do i need to leave the banks as they are after its flashed ?

Not on this planet!
Boot to X3 live, ftp into using the IP you assigned, use password X3 user X3, navigate to ADMIN/Bios banks, select 1024meg banks, you will see two folders, 1,2,3,4 and 5,6,7,8
Ensure you select the banks you want to flash on the xbox and also enable flash, then drag and drop your bios into the relevent bank folder. It really is the easiest way to flash update.

Flashing your chip will not delete files from your harddrive. It must be a setting issue.

my banks are 1&2 = on the rest = off
