what to do with my bios from xbins

[lundman53]

i have a xecuter 3CE with a solderless adapter for my version 1.6b. I have installed that chip and am looking at the flashbios screen. i have downloaded the bios from xbins and was wondering how to get it on my box. I have opened it whith winrar and have the bios for version 1.6.

How do i get the bios to the chip.

i have looked there and came across a problem. when i try to load bios from a disc everything seems to work fine but then it gets th the third pic on that guide and just list the label of the disc. doesnt say anything about halting or anything like that. when i read the guide it said that the bank swithched had to be at the on on off off off position and the chip had to be set to the unprotected. my chip will not boot if it is on the on on off off off setting. it has to be set to off on off off off. is this ok, and how do i fix my original problem of only seeing the label of my disc. THANK YOU.

boot xbox with switch set to off on off off off then without turning off xbox change the switch to on on off off off then flash your chip
have you renamed bios to bios.bin
are you burning it to a cd-rw or dvd-r
burn it at a slow speed x2 max
do a http flash lot easyer

 

[lundman53]

i aslo tried that. I switched it to on on off off off at the main flashbios screen. Does that matter or do i have to switch it at a scertain time. Nothing seems to work. I named it BIOS in the Icon view. so when i look at it it show BIOS.bin. should i name it BIOS.bin.bin. I am burning them on a dvd-r made by sony. at 4x. i dont think i have the option of going any slower, maybe ill look. Does http flash involve ftp.

Does http flash involve ftp.

Nope, it use IE to transfer the file to the X3

 

[lundman53]

what is IE??? and what about my original problem of not haveing anything but my cd label.

 

[lundman53]

ie stands for internet explorer i got it.....not trying to be pushy about my problems just would like to know what is wrong

 

[DJBOOBY]

are you reading the flashbios guild
dont use caps when renameing bios
are you useing a large dummy file
use cd-rw 2x max
do a http flash much easyer

 

[lundman53]

i am using a 100 mb dummy file and writing at 4x. i made a second disc with a 450mb dummy and at 4x. i dont think my burner will go lower than 4x

Chuck out that sony disc... and try other brands.
What program are u using to burn the disc btw?

I would really consider using HTTP at this stage, it is much easier.

 

[b0y]

I agree with Poida it's much faster and easier to do.

-boy

 

[DJBOOBY]

i agree as well http much better
but your dvd burner will burn 1x to what ever you need to buy the cd-rw that are 1x to 4x not just 4x

Lundman53, have you ever tryed the method when you flash your chip with HTTP?

If not Try it.
Set up a network from your pc to your xbox so they can share files. Either with a crossover cable or an ethernet cable if you have a router.

Then go to flashbios on your xbox and click Enable Network Flashing.
Wait till it says TCP/IP protocol initialized and it will give you an IP Address.
If it doesn't find a DHCP address it will assign you a Static IP.

Once you have the IP Address you navigate to your PC and open up Internet Explorer and type the address into the URL bar.

You should get something like this. Then browse to your bios of your liking and click upload and flash. It should be downhill from there.

i have just tried flashing via http. it seemed to work fine untill i typed in my IP#'s into my IE. it says cannot find server. whats wrong this time. it seems like i cant do anything right.

 

[adam.giles]

sounds like a network issue. How have you set the network up?

 

[lundman53]

i just hooked up a crossover cable to my labtop and to my box. that was all i did.
I guess thats wrong. what is right.

 

[lundman53]

Problem solved. But more created. I flashed my chip via http but i had my swiches wrong. instead of on on off off off i had off on off off off. Is that bad. Another thing happened to i cant get my disc drive to open. is this fixable. is the drive not opening because of my switches. HELP HELP HELP

 

[lundman53]

Sorry about the repost but i had to say that my switches being wrong question is still out there but i figured out why my disc drive wouldnt open. It helps if you have the yellow wired in it pluged in huh. But i still dont know about the switches or what to do about that. THANK ahead of time.

Before you do anything else, reflash your back-up bios with 3.03
