With the GREEN LITE and with the BANK switch unpluged.

This is for Flash Protect correct.

I can see the LITES from the outside with the Xbox put together, with the switch I can see it turn from RED to GREEN.

So there was no need to take it apart just Unpluged the BLACK wires from the front, that set the LITE to RED.

If that was the Answer you were looking for.

Are you 100% sure you're using the correct .bin file, as this error message means it's not the correct size.

What other files did you extract from the X3_3294.rar ?

Ok got it apart, now I left-out the DVD & HDD and repluged the BLACK switch cables in the front, turned it on with the switch in the old way to see if it has any effect works the same the old way RED to GREEN with the Bank switch and when I switch it from the CHIP to GREEN instead of RED, no such function.

Should I procced to reinstall the DVD & HDD?

I have Mirc, FlashFXP programs, obtained WinRAR and extracted the files with the THREE BOOKS that I obtained from the FlashFXP directory.

Unless I missed away to run WinRAR for an extraction.

now replace everthing back together living the switch on chip as it is

then once you done this try to flash chip again
if it will not flash delete the x3 file and download it again this time don,t rename it
read the post more then once then i will not need to repeat everthing

So if size is an Issue when I goto WinRAR and see the size of the file it is 1048576 BYTES, but the one that I extracted and am trying to use is 1,024KB.

Be reminded this is the .bin file size (1048576 BYTES) that I looked into and found threw WinRAR. not the .rar file the .rar file it self is 3,154KB.

When I went in to get the file after obtaining WinRAR program all the files changed (THREE BOOKS)in the FlashFXP directory. those are the ones I got.

Ok Redownloaded the file and it is still the same size as I Noted before. The same size differences that pompted when I Flashed, if I can only get the right size I think every thing will be ok.

Yeap! both were the same size both X3_3294 non and v1.6plus. If that is what 1048576 bytes is equals 1MB.
