so you have never seen a flashbios screen when trying to boot from any bank?
if not I think it is highly unlikely that you flashed over anything.

I never get the flashbios screen
now my qustion is, is it possible to reflash if I don't have other xbox v1.0-v1.5
also can i reflash to flashbios 3.03 with cd/dvd or somthing other ?
ok thanks for helpnow I have to try and find some one with xbox v1.0-1.6 that works with with 3.01 and reflash to 3.03
thanks for all of you to helping me
As a last ditch effort, apparent the new spider programmer is X3 compatable. I read that at Xbox-scene, but never used it, so I can't guarantee it.
mm ok
don't be angy now if I ask for agin and last time to be sure 100%
if i have switches off-on-off-off and press power & eject on xbox V1.6b
will the 3.03 be ereased ?
or nothing happnes with the 3.03 ?
some of you told me that will not work, what you mean not work? nothing happnes or after that it will not work ?

::sigh::
what I have been trying to tell you is that when you press power and eject you boot into the 265k backup bios which is flashbios v3.0.1. When you press power and eject the switch positions DO NOT matter, you always boot into the designated 256kb back up.
what you want to do is put the switches in off-on-off-off and boot by pressing ONLY the power button. from you comments i'm still not sure that you have tried this correctly.
Answer me 2 questions:
1. have you ever EVER seen the blue flashbios screen on your tv when you boot your xbox?
2. have you successfully ftp-ed into you xbox and viewed the admin directory?
If the answer to both these questions is NO then I highly doubt you have flashed/erased any bios at all.
perhaps I am explaining it poorly.

Pressing power and eject together boots the back-up bios. No matter what switch settings you have. The back-up bios contains 3.01, which wont work with 1.6b.
3.03 is on bank 5678. Set switches to off-on-off-off, then tap the power button.
Now, if you have flashed over banks 5678, then flashBios 3.03 is no longer on your chip. You need to find a non-1.6b Xbox that you can reflash it on.

I have tried off-on-off-off and quick pressing power the light is blue, but
1. I have NEVER seen the flashbios screen on my tv

So booting off-on-off-off gives you a black screen and orange eject. And booting on-on-off-off does the same? But you can boot OK with the chip disabled?
Is this correct?

This may sound obvious, but make sure the black switch cable is connected correctly. It sounds like your switches aren't working. If your switches aren't connected, your chip would default to bank 1234, which would give you the results you are getting.
Good point. Just check the connectors are fully home, and check the cable isn't snagged on the metal shielding around the controller port.ProNet said:
It's getting too late for this...Good Luck.
thank you alot, I will test the cables and try, but maybe the switch is not working, and I will se if I can join cables that enables 3.03 (off-on-off-off) and if it works I will buy new switch
glad we're on the same page now. sorry i couldn't get back to you sooner. you may also want to check that when you power up your xbox with the chip enabled and the xecuter light is blue, check that you have two blue leds and one green/red (depending on the position of your protect switch) coming on on the actual mod chip (bottom side). i believe that one of these leds is the d0 connectivity indicator.
I have tested the swith cables and seems work fine
but now I'm comfused :S you ar talking about green/red led and I have never seen it :S
and on the chip or under it when it is mounted on xbox I see just 2 blue leds if the chip is enabled or disabled, I don't see green/red leds :S

on the switch I see HDD led blue , and x3 flash blue/red big oneadam.giles said:

Sorry, Green/Red is on X3ce only. Original X3 doesn't have it. However, if you have the original X3, then that solves the mystery!! The original X3 is only flashed with FlashBios 3.01. So you will never find 3.03 on it, no matter what you do. If this is the case, you need to get your chip reflashed in a non-1.6b Xbox.
