Xecuter 3 FlashBios 3.03?

[Skyw4rp]

I have a 1.6b Xbox and a standard X3 chip, normally this chip loads the 3.01 Flash, and I need 3.03 right? How do you go about upgrading the flashbios?

X3CE has 3.0.3 preloaded on bank 5678.

to add:
you can boot flashbios 3.0.3 by using any of these dip switch settings:
off on off off off - bank5678
on on off on off - bank5
off on off on off - bank6
on off off on off - bank7
off off off on off - bank8

The only flasbios you will need to upgrade is the backup rom as its flashed with 3.01 if i remember correctly.
Set switches to one of the above, boot, move the switches to on on off off and flash.

All of the non ce X3 chips have 3.03 pre-loaded in that bank? I don't want to install the chip than find out it's useless.

Install the chip, if you don't have 3.0.3 on the non CE chip (i can't confirm this till i get home and check) just do a hotswap. Where'd you buy the chip from? X3CE has been out a while now...

It's a wierd story. My uncle had come across four cases of Xecuter 3 chips at a police auction a few monthes ago, noone else knew what they were, so he ended up getting them for 99 cents each, and I don't mean 99 cents per chip, I mean per case. I don't even know how many chips he had total, but he ended up selling most of them. I ended up with a few that I installed in mine and a few of my friends boxes, but this is the first time I've done anything with a 1.6b.

Thanks for looking into this.

Damn!! now that's a bargain and a half! Now what reason could the cops confiscate the chips? They are legal to own and install.... strange!

No matter. I went home at lunch time and pulled out my X3 which i thought that i had not flashed the second bank on.... sorry no luck. I had flashed over it so i can't confirm. One way to check though, since you mentioned your friend's xbox's...

Just drop the chip into their box with bank 5678 selected and see how you go.

All my non-CE chips only have 3.01 on them. Also, they are a good bit cheaper than the CEs.

My X3CE does not have 3.03 installed on it. I tried all those banks listed above and it FRAGs. Only way tto access FlashBIOS is to do the 256k backup which is 3.01. I can not flash my bios at all. Keep getting Programming Failed.
