Flashbios comes preloaded on your chip. It's only purpose is to allow you to flash a hacked bios a.k.a. X3 or X2 bios.

So... when you turn your chip on, that will be flashbios. Then you've gotta flash it with another bios - and thats where you get "flashbios" from.

EDIT: DOH! Rookio beat me to it


The x3 (3924) bios listed is an illegal bios ie it uses code that circumvents media checks when the xbox boots (this then allows you to run imports and backups on your xbox)

Flashbios is a legal bios based on Cromwell bios that is shipped with you chip.
This bios will allow you to reflash your x3 with an illegal bios.

u cannot post links to or make available the "illegal" x3 bios or M$ would come down on this site like a ton of bricks. Asking for it will probably get u kicked too.
u will have to search this site for info on where to get this bios.
