Stops 3/4 on they flash

Stops after 75% done flashing bios

I just installed my Xecutor3CE on my v1.6 xbox (samsung memory).
Now when I try to flash it the upload (yellow) goes fine, but the green stops on 75% done. I have left it for hours now. What is wrong? Can't get it flashed. And I use 1MB bank (switch 1-2 on, 3-5 off).

Any ideas? Soldering problem?

Forgot to mention that protection is off (red light on chip and on frontpanel).

Thanks

what method of flash are you using?

I have tried http flash with 2913 and 2914 bios, and cd flash with the same 2 bios versions. I have tried with both FlashBIOS 3.0.1 and 3.0.3, same problem.

for your case, you have v1.6 xbox so you need to use flashbios 3.0.1. v1.6 has issues with v3.0.3. I would try to do http flash again and make sure you have flashbios 3.0.1 to flash. I am 100% sure that 3.0.1 is in your backup bios so press both power and eject buttons at the same time and you should get backup flashbios then flash. I always recommend http flash by the way. Second, make sure your configuration of your PC is correct too. PC ip should be 192.168.0.X x=any number 2-254 except 99. If still no go, I would recheck solder.

Edit: your switches are correct. Set it as on on off off off.

Done all that several times now. Guess rechecking soldering is the only option now...crap!

before you do, try switches off on off off off first. Make sure to use flashbios 3.0.1

if that doesn't work, try flashing with the control panel cable disconnected. Let's try the easy things first before you take the whole thing apart again. There is a remote chance the control panel is faulty.

Done...Same problem. Stops on about 75%. Power-LED blinks green/orange.
And I am 100% sure protection is off and that im using v3.0.1 (even if webbrowser says v3.0.0). It says 3.0.1 on the tv.

 

[nartac]

yeah, you have no choice now. That webbrowser thing is normal

 

[ciaspook]

NICE! I forgot to mention I was using the Pro Switch. It worked with that disconnected!
Damn...why didnt I think of that. Hehe...Guess its broke then

 

[nartac]

. Glad you didn't have to resolder

 

[nartac]

LOL, that piece of info about using the pro switch is important too. Is the protection switch off? (it should be red) and the first 2 buttons are pressed in (blue lights)?

 

[ciaspook]

The protection button was red and the 2 first buttons was blue. I did all of that right, but guess the pro switch is broke then.

sounds like it. Return it and get it replaced
