Sorry i'll give more data.
Xecuter 3, FlashBios 3.0.0 , XBOX Version 1.1

Try to flash 3.0.3, nothing.
Tryed to install a fu**ing dashborad (evolutionX, version for XBOX v1->5)
Nothing.
No messages, can not FTP, can not http, from media CD-RW (no memores, traxdata and Verbatim) DAO, 4x, all that can find in tutorials.
I can't do nothing.
Solderings are ok , when i boot up i see the flashbios 3.0.0 and the diferent methods to flash.
Switches of flash protection are of.
It seems to be a BIOS problem, not a hard problem
What i have to do?

Guys, I had a similar problem with my xbox. Tried for 3 days to load the 1956 and then the 1959 with no success. I eventually found out that it was a defective bios switch bank that was my problem. I had a second chip set on hand and swapped the bank selector switch and it solved all my problems. For your problem, I would recheck the solder points, gently push each of the pins from the top side, one at a time. I had 3 that were not soldered correctly. Then try to connect to your computer again for flashing. If you are connecting to your computer network card directly, you will need a special crossover cable(VERRY IMPORTANT!!) or it will not connect. If you are connecting to a hub or router, a regular network cable will work. Start up your box, select flash from network, see what it says is the ip address (probably 192.168.0.__) The last digit will vary depending on how many computers are on your network. Then open up internet explorer and type in the box ip address. Once connected, a page will open that will allow you to flash your bios. (See bios flashing tutorials). Then flash with 3.0.3. Once flashed, then flash again with the X3 1959 file the same way. After this step is done you can then load the dashboard of your choosing. I recommend getting the slayer auto install with evox and other apps already on it. Search xbins for the files. Here is the catch. If it hangs on you when loading the 1959 file, then you probably have a defective bios switchboard. You can unplug the switch from the X3 chip and then try to flash again. It will automatically flash to bank 1234. Good luck!

After days of work...
I get IT!

With Slayers..
The solution 4 me was:
1.- touch the solderings and reconnect the X3 (pull up and push down again).
2.- I go to office and use a DHCP with 192.168.1.0/24 net
3.- I flashed the bios 3.0.3 with the 512K version doit from Xbios, following the steps on "floashging bios in teamxecuter.com.
4.- I tried to run anything, nothing.
5.- Next step is to flash bios with x3_1959.bin
6.- Boot from cd / dvd of slayers and...
7.- follow intructions

Make BACkups
and then install slayers.
Thanks a lot to all!

0800 question

Hello,

I ripped all my games using wxripper and as I've read aboutt ss2 and LT I've got hold of a spare xbox drive to flash to 0800.

If I rip an original game with 0800 does it do a direct copy? Do I still need to run it through abgx360 to get it patched/stealthed etc? Apologies for newbie question!

Many thanks.

Re: 0800 question

technically it should be fine but for piece of mind - tick disable write on abgx and check it. that way it wont autofix your dmi etc (which may well be diff to the one in database)
