XBox FRAGs after bios update - any know fix???

[mwight]

Finally got my V1.0 xbox working great with the X3 mod. Decided (like an idiot) to update to the latest BIOS (of which I now think there are 2 bios's in this mod). Tried to lay down FlashBIOS 3.0.3 and ended up with a screen that identified the 1959 bios (system bios?), but I no longer got any FlashBIOS screens (blue with flash options). My apps still worked but I always had to "reboot to dash" to get there. So a couple of days later I tried again (today) and the BIOS I pushed via FTP was still zipped (my fault, I couldn't see the extension and the HTTP upload page allows anything). So after that got flashed my xbox boots-2 seconds on then off, then again, then again and after the last attempt it just FRAGS and nothing else.

So, are there 2 BIOSs in this mod and have I effectivly killed them both? Is there still a low-level way (like tftp) to re-flash one or both BIOSs? Is it time to send it back to be fixed?

press power / eject at the same time this wil boot the backup bio's then you should be able to reflash with 1959.

Re: how to set up the CK3 pro

sata from via card (internal port) to drive
ck3 green/red cable between CK3 and drive
molex power cable from inside PC to ck3 female molex

if you are flashing a 74850C then also connect usb from ck3 to pc
and replace green/red cable with probes own drive cable and probe!
