hey i have a quick question. i have a version 1.0 xbox. it has a xecuter 3 chip soldered in place by modchipsource.com everything seems to be working but when it come time to flashing it im having trouble. first i tried the http way, but the page wont open so if theres a new site that would be good to know about, secondly i tried to flash via cd/dvd but couldnt do it, i found out that i needed a dummy file but it still didnt work so i was wandering if i needed a .bin file reader to properly flash my chip and then thirdly ive always heard i need to make iso of the bios so im a little bit stuck now so any help would be very appreciated thxs.

yeah i know ive searched that and every other place around see i know what to do it just seems like it doesnt want to wrk with me. io understand i have to name the bios as "bios.bin" so do i also need a .bin file reader for that and the dummy file? and do i have to still make iso of bios, any help would be awesome

Don't know why Macdawgg's site there didn't help you out. First off, are you using the correct bios? Did you get it from #xbins or elsewhere? I can't believe that you cannot use the http method, I have never heard of that happening before? You do have your xbox and computer networked together right?
You do not need to make an ISO of your bios, where did you here that from?
This is the best noob site out there for the X3 chip...

When the power light starts flashing the ugly colors, red and orange, that means that something internally is wrong with your Xbox. For example, my friend did a piss poor install of his X3 chip and when he turned it on after the install the lights flashed the death colors. If I were you, I would post your question on www.xbox-scene.com
Let me know what you find out over there...

good to hear you got it figured out... Always seems whenever there is something wrong it is to hard for you yourself to figure out the problem, but then when you actually figure it out you find it was the easiest step you were missing. Happened to me many times...

yes,yes, instead of extracting files with win rar ( i didnt even have it installed) i just changed file from .rar ro .bin and called name to bios (really stupid huh?) well i finally had the idea to extract files using winrar to look inside file and found two files labeld .bin, one for version 1.0-1.5 and other for 1.6 so i flashed with that and now it wrks, which im soo happy!! if anyone has problems like that i know now so u can pm me if u dont understand what u have to do. i do need file though, i went to #xb!n$ to get xbmc and said somthin like this is a mirror of file, yata yata yata, so i need to find it. if someone doesnt mind it would be nice if you could just send me the files, my email is adsfbike@yahoo.com and aim sn is adsfbike
thxs agian to all that helped and will help
