I hope this is not a repeat, i didnt see it in the post. I installed my chip triple checked my solder followed the tutorial step by step, took me a week to get to this point. Anyway when i turn on my xbox and got the flashbios 3.0.0 screen i put the x3_1959 and renamed it x3_1959.bin with the dummy.bin on to a disk it said "process halt no updated imformation foud." So i networked flashed from the tutorial with the switches for the bank set( on on off off off). The xbox cut off and when i turned it on i got the blank screen. The X3 light on the chip is solid blue as it was before. if i turn it off and back on with switches (on off on off off) it goes back to the flashbios 3.0.0 and if i do switches(on off off off off) same flashbios 3.0.0 on the screen or any other combination. What to do? I'm stuck. Please help.
I hope this is an easy question

Set your switches to off off off off.
Boot to FlashBIOS
Network Flash
Flash over X3 1959 1MB.
Set switches to on on off off.
Xbox should boot to X3 1959.

I turned all my switches off, and powered uo the XBOX and i get a blank screen. I'm such a Noob. should i go to the back up bios? or get the bios to load and then turn the switches on on off off off?
what i meant by that was do i set swtches on off off off off to get to the blue screen and then turn them all off or is there another way to do it?

Have you got a list of the possible bank configurations.
Try setting the chip to 1MB 1234 or 1MB 5678.
Does the backup BIOS still work?

yes, the back up bios still works. If i cant get it can i just install a dashboard on the flashbios 3.0.0 For I wil try the 1234 right now. is there sominthing with the file? when i extracted it with winRAR i changed the name to X3_1959.bin was that wrong? Thank you again for the time you are spending with this issue i have.
is there something i'm missing that i cant pick up? is there a difference between the X3_1959.bin and the flashbios_v303.bin? do i have to use both of them? Are xbox v1.0 really that big of piles?
Sounds like you've wiped your main bios, so I'll reiterate what Martin wrote with a few additions in bold:
Set your switches to off off off off off.
Boot to the backup FlashBIOS by pressing both power and eject at the same time (X3 panel should be lit purple)
Network Flash
Flash over X3 1959 1MB.
Wait for XBOX to shutdown after flash completion
Set switches to on on off off on.
Xbox should boot to X3 1959.
I hope the additions were enough clarification to get things working for you

i did what you said there fixitman. i powered up i got he solid blue light the HD light solid blue. i think i am less than a noob borderline retard because it just wont work still got the black screen. What is meant by "Flash over 1959." could this be a solder peoblem or doi have a bad chip. i tried so hard to take care and be good at it and i cant even get it to work.
Thank you also fixitman for helping me also. Martin C probably wants to stab me out of frustration.

I said to download the X3 1959 BIOS.
I give up... :roll:
Come back once you've read the quick help guides.
Martin
So let me get this straight - you downloaded the FlashBIOS and renamed the flashbios.bin file to x3_1959.bin.

Martin
no no no, i downloaded x3_1959.rar used winrar to extract the x3_1959.bin and changed that name bios.bin, then burned that to a disk with the dummy file. That is when i got the no updated imformation found.

Well that's not what you said and CERTAINLY not the impression you gave!blueice3 said:
Doesn't really support what you meant. Also,
*this* made me really think - do you know what a FlashBIOS is??? If not, then go and read the FlashBIOS guides, the FAQs and stickys (as well as hundreds of posts regarding flashBIOS.
Of course there's a difference!!!
Now, for flashing: if you can, use the network flash option as it's much easier than having to burn a CD etc.
Read the flashbios guides on how this is done.

Playing Xbox 1 backups on Xbox 360 iXtreme LT
Hi everyone,
I had just registered on this forum, but been reading it for some time.
I have an xbox original ISO(copy) which I would like to play on my modded Xbox 360 (Lite-on, iXtreme LT).
Tried searching for it on this forum, other forums, google, you name it, but came up with only some obsolete tutorials (from 2006).
Could somebody give an advice how to burn the ISO and what media to use(DVD+R?, DVD+RDL?, ...)?
ISO is 629MB in size (Micro Machines)...
Thank you!

For all xbox 1 backups you still need to burn them too a DVD+R DL Disc.

OK, what about the layer break?
What Nero/IMGBurn setting to apply?
As I said ISO is 629MB in size...
