FIRST STEP IS TO MAKE SURE THE MOD IS IN 1MB FLASHING MODE. IF YOU HAVE THE SWITCH CONNECTED THEN YOU NEED TO SET THE SWITCHES TO "ON ON OFF OFF OFF" THIS WILL FLASH THE X3 BIOS TO THE FIRST 1MB PART OF THE X3's 2MB FLASH ROM. IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SWITCHES CONNECTED THE X3 WILL DEFAULT TO THE FIRST 1MB ANYWAY. MAKE SURE THE FLASH PROTECT SWITCH ON THE X3 IS SET TO DISABLED.

You must make sure you already have the FlashBIOS disc created with the bios of your choice. see step (5) for the correct tutorials.


Select Load BIOS from Disc
 
The disc tray should now automatically eject. Insert the disc and press the
eject button.
 
This is what happens if your X3 has its flash protection enabled. You wont
be able to update anything at this stage. You need to make sure the flash
protection is set to off on the mod and on the switch if you have it connected.
You will need to start over from the beginning.
 


This is what happens if your disc was not created correctly. You wont be
able to update anything at this stage. You need to follow the procedure again
and make sure you do it right this time - either that or use better media.
You will need to start over from the beginning.

 


As you can see the 1MB (1024k) Bios has been grabbed from the hard drive,
the X3 2MB (2048k) Flash Rom has been detected and things are progressing
nicely. The yellow bar = ERASING.
 


Superb we are almost there. The green bar = FLASHING.
 


The Flash has now completed. The Xbox will now turn off automatically.
Now turn it back on again yourself (quick press power button so X3 Logo
on switch is BLUE).
 


Success! Enjoy Your new Xbox adventure.
