XBOX: 1.0
Chip: Xecuter V2.6CE
Install: Wire Solder

All wires were soldered and all points look good. Started the X-Box and flashed the bios using the http method. Bios flash completed and the X-Box shut down. I then restarted the X-box and now I get 3 boots and a FRAG.

I've searched this site for hours looking for an answer and couldn't find it. I hope someone can help me.

If I turn off the mod chip and boot it works fine. I of course get an error that my HDD isn't working. The main reason for my Mod chip.

Yes you are right. I figured out that I flashed the x3 bios.

I ordered a programmer and hope that will fix the problem.

I'll update after I receive the programmer and try to reflash.

Thanks

Programmer came. I used it and flashed 3.0.1 and 3.0.3 as the chip came.
Put it back in and it booted to the flashbios screen.
I then flashed 5035 and it rebooted to the flashbios screen.
I noticed that on bank 1 it was suppose to boot to 3.0.1 and bank 2 was suppose to flash to 3.0.3.
It's then that I suspected that it was only reading from bank 2. And since 5035 was only on bank 1 I thought...Hmmmmm Lets just flash 5035 to both bank 1 and 2.
At last.....it all worked.
So either I have a bad chip or a bad external switch. Regardless the chip is working fine. If all heck breaks loose I still have the programmer to fix it.

My question is: why won't my X2.6 read bank 1. It always installs off of bank 2 regardless of what bank I have the external switch set to?
