I accidently flashed the on on off off bank with a nfo by complete accidently cause i forgot to turn on the flash protection. And it don't boot up in any bank cause it frags but a blue light on the switch thingy. Then I tried and do the backup but I flashed it with the X3 new bios and I get no picture on my screen and it don't frag.

Backup bios is only 256K i think? If you put an X3 bios there it won't work. Try the other bank off on off off...If both banks plus your backup are screwed than you'll have to hotswap your chip.

Yeah, find a guy with the same chip and preferably the same xbox version as you...
crack open his box... boot the working chip... pull out the working chip and put it your crapped up chip... flash... rinse... repeat!
Oh by the way I have great news. I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance hy switching to Geiko. LOL. No I got my mom to switch to bank off on off off off. And she told me she sees FlashBios 3.0.1 and shes said something that proved that she sees it and that she don't even knew what it looked like so. Should I use the new Bios or the one that was the last one not the new one?
Use the latest bios 3294. Make sure you use the v16 plus version too.
(Isn't - off on off off off the 2nd 1Mb bank, which usually has 3.0.3 loaded....oh well)

does it matter which version. I have a 1.6 a not b. But is there a way to but FlashBios 3.0.1 back on on on off off off?
yes you have to use the v16plus version of the bios. get it at xbins. the v16plus version works on both 1.6 and 1.6b
The backup bios might work. I have a 1.6 and if I don't press the eject slightly after the power, i will get a purple logo, no fragging, but a blank screen. It took me a bit to figure out what was going on. Make sure this isn't the case
i concil you t do this you trie to boot with flashbios instaled on bank 5 for exemple and if you enter in flash bios seclect on bank of 1 mo and flash with a dvd or cd-rw with the last x3 bios and after this you flash you back-up roim with a good flash bios
yep.DJMANPS2 said:
The end result is this...
bank 1-4 good bootable bios (3029 is my fav...) on, on, off, off, off
bank 5 -8 good flash bios (3.0.1) off, on, off, off, off
I'm just happy that I can use my second 1mb bank since the first one screwed up. Thanks guys for the help.
