I just spent pretty much the better part of 3 hours checking and rechecking my soldier job on this 1.2-1.3 xbox. Upon reading through several topics on this forumn the only solution to this problem anyone would offer was to reseat the mod chip. This however seemed to never work. I've modded probably 12 - 15 xboxs and this is the only one that's given me this trouble.
Problem: Xecuter 3CE Modchip would only half way flash the 3294 bios.
Yellow bar would fill from cd/dvd and http, but green would only fill
half way before freezing.
Diagnosis: After rechecking my soldier points hundreds of times, I decided to look at my modchip. It turns out this particular chip featured a rather miniscule but time consuming manufacturer's error. Two point attached to the chip labelled with the "x" (I'm assuming the memory chip) were soldiered together.
Solution: Upon coating the joints with some flux and gently heating them up, the soldier flowed properly onto it's corresponding joint. Reinserted the modchip into the xbox, and finally it would flash the bios completely.
I just thought I'd post this because of the several other threads that listed this exact same problem.
Hope this helps.
