I got 1.6. xecuter 3 ce and xapter

i got X3_3294.rar and used X3 3294.bin think i should have used X3 3294 v16plus.bin

The xbox flashed ok and shut down, but when i turn it back on it restarts some times and flashes green\red and i get no pic on screen

How can i install the right bios now?

If you used on on off off to get into FlashBIOS.... you can probably get into the backup bios.. press power and eject button at the same time. The Xecuter logo should light up purple.
It won't work on a 1.6b.

Cant get it back into flashing mode, tryed holding both power and eject at same time.
(just to be sure, when u say to use (on,on,off,off,off) is the two pin thingys at the bottom or top suposed to be set to ON?)

if that dont work well open up the xbox and look at the wire that connects to x3 and xbox should be red wire because i had this problem and i coudnt go to backup but the wire was cut so if it is cu just use sum blacktape and fix and try again anf if that dont work makes sure r=the red wire is touching each other:cool:

Yes.... that's certainly one way of joining a cut wire... not a very good one though.

If you want to do it properly, cut 2-3mm of the plastic coating off both ends of the wire. Tin both ends of the wire with solder and then join the 2 wires (facing the opposite direction) by touching them both at the same time with your iron. That way you end up with a nice smooth surface, and it's secure as well. Then tape them up using electrical tape.

Or use heat shrink tubing instead of tape. Love those things!
