i have downloaded the x3 bios from xbins and burned it onto a dvd as the instructions said, but when i try to load bios onto mod it says unknow bios halting. should it say that even though the modchip is unprotected.

No it shouldn't.

Did you unrar the file you downloaed from xbins? Which file are you using? Which Xbox version have you got? Did you rename the file? You're aware that Unprotected = Red led right? just checking... :D

you cant, did you get it from xbins? download it again, extract the bios file and dont rename it, leave it as it is. then try.

NO...you need a red led to be able to flash the X3.
Red is unprotected
Green is protected
