flashbios_x3_303.???

Thats the wrong file..
Look for X3 bios in xbins.

make sure rar file is extracted, and flash with correct .bin file for your xbox version.

Littlemiss already gave you the link to how to do everything to do with flash bios - cd burning is covered and in the guide they even use NERO

can you follow instructions?

Heres the link one more time:

most likely your flash protect switch on the chip or on the external switch bank is still set to Enabled. Check them both!

did you rename the bios to bios.bin and how large a dummy file did you use?

you said you have an X3 control panel - the very left hand switch is Flashprotect - make sure it's out and lit in red to make it disabled.

There is also a master flash protect switch on the X3 chip itself. Make sure that flashprotect switch is also disabled.

have a look at the following link - nearly at the very bottom is a piccy of the flash protect switch on the chip. your chip may not look identical but the switch will be the same

Try flashing via http. It is explained in the link that has been given. The problems you are running into could be from a bad cd or bad burn. I know from expirence that some x-box dvd drives are very particular to the brand of cd or dvd.Don't use memorex they have the most problems.

Obviously you did not read the link that digthebox gave to you...there's no need for a website to flash via http, what you need is a crossover cable to connect your PC to your XBOX...open your Internet Explorer and type 192.168.0.99 in the web browser and if all goes well you will see the Xecuter Flashbios screen on your PC. Browse for the location of your bios and hit Upload & flash. :)
