X3 3.01 Bios Attempting to flash but nothing

[felipebras]

Here is my cituation,

I just installed a X3 on my 1.6 Box. I get the three lights inside, the blue outside, and the box loads up to Bios. Here is where the problem comes... I get nothing but the beginning page of the bios I CANNOT select any of the update versions. I move the remote control and nothing else moves... it is almost like it loaded and then immediately froze. Switches are ON<ON<OFF<OFF<OFF. I can boot into the regular M$ dash but I cannot get the box to update. I have tried cds (I have a samsung Drive) & even placing the files on the HD as well.

I am really bogged down I have tried reading other posts but saw nothing like this.

Thanks in advance

I cannot flash anything on to it It seems like it freezes on the bios screen I tried both bios 3.01 & 3.03 and they both seem to freeze upon startup. this is my first mod but It seems to be hooked up correctly... or else I would not get that screen @ all right??? Any other way that I can flash my chip??? any suggestions??? I get to see the option of flashing thru cdrom, hd , etc... but my controler won't let me select the one I want...


Thanks...

I read a post by someone saying that it can be the controller that is making the problem occur... anyone experience that??? what controller did u buy??? Mine starts with X08...

when the bios screen comes up if your controller doesnt work unplug it then plug it back in this happens to me all the time on flashing

I tried that but nothing....

It was what I thought... a new controller solved the problem... beware holiday pack controlers...!!!

I had a similar problem. I couldn't move up and down in the menu using the first controller port but when I tried it with the third controller port it worked fine.

i have the same problem, maybe it's a bad-soldered wired... anyone knows x3ce uses a particular wire to access the pad?

PAD

Just want to say a massive thank you for the info on this thread, my friend and I searched for days trying to figure out why that when he went into his backup bios it seemed to freeze and he could not move down. As i say after days of reading we just changed the pad to controler port 2, low and behold it moved down, thus letting us flash the bios. Thanks Guys!!!!
