Try pressing power and eject to load the backup flashbios.
set your switches to a 1mb setting and reflash with x3 3294 v1.6 plus. Get this from xbins. it is far better than any evox bios!

Try booting from bank 5678: off,on,off,off with protect off.
This should load flashbios v3.0.3 which was preflashed on your chip and should work with your v1.6 xbox.
If it does boot make sure you change switches back to on,on,off,off BEFORE you flash.
Also get the x3 bios x3_3294 v1.6plus from xbins, which is far better than your evox bios.

i don't understand the (off,on,off,off) how to do them where to press. and how to boot from bank 5678.

Do you have a 1.6 or 1.6b? It sounds like you have a 1.6. If that is the case, you need to boot to back-up bios (power and eject). Alternatively you could try banks 2,3 or 4, although I'm not sure they contain FlashBios at all. Banks 5-8 have flashBios 3.03, which will be incompatable with a 1.6
