this is the 3rd xbox ive put a x3ce in but i didnt do any of the software, flashbios, evox or the xbmc. i had a freind do it so now im ready to flash the chip and would like to be able to do this on my own. i want to make sure i dont lose the pre flashed 3.03 flashbios as some others have done. i have a v1.6b and get the flashbios blue screen with the switchs set to off,on,off,off which should be bank 5678. i will use the flashbios 3294 v1.6 plus (this is the correct one for my version of xbox?) now, what should the bank switchs be set to so i can always get back to the pre flashed 3.03 if something gets messed up? is there anything esle that ive missed also. thanks guys.

Ok boot up with 5678 (3.03 flashbios) and then whilst its still switched on change the switches to bank 1234 (on,on,off,off)..

Flash your X3 bios to this bank and once installed enter Config live and flash flashbios3.03 to the backup flash. (it currently has 3.01).

This way you cannot fail to get back to a working state.
If you accidently flash over 5678 in the future then no worries simply boot the backup (press eject and pwr)
