Word up. I'll keep looking. I am coming to the conclusion that I might have to buy another chip. Thank goodness they aren't $200 or something!

i was trying to flash w/ M8plus_16. The flash didn't successfully complete for some reason(still trying to figure out why) but i'm pretty sure that's one of the correct bios' to use.....i could be wrong though, but it's a 256k bios and i've got a 1.6b box.?

With so many people who have bad flashed their chip, the next question is, has ANYONE been able to correctly flash their spiderchip? If so, can you please explain the process? I'd hate to think that the chip is defective, but it's easier for me to accept that, than that all of us are so incompetent that we all permenantly messed up our chips.

Summary:
2 xbox's (v1.6b)

2 spiderchips with bad flashes
Coincidence? I don't think so....

Hey Tommy,
It would be nice if you could tell us what bios you used to flash those 6 chips. I'm sure it would help a lot of us out!
Thanks

Alright!
I just learned something but have not yet tested it to know if it is right.. but makes sense.
If you have a version 1.6 xbox u can use the bios.. M8_16 or M8plus_16.
If you have a version 1.6b xbox you have to use M8plus_16 bios!

I have read somewhere that the only current way to reflash your chip is to put it in a older xbox that supports the bios that you flashed the chip with. Same with me i cant find the m8plus_16 bios.

Hi Folks, some good news! I loaded my spider chip on to a version 1.0 Xbox and re-flashed the chip with the M8plus_16 bios & re-installed the chip in to the 1.6 Xbox & it loaded successfully. So if you can get your hands on an older xbox that supports the bios that you flashed the chip with in the 1st place, you can then re-flash the chip. Thanks to every-one for the help. Lets hope a programmer is released soon

Getting the m8_16 bios and others
1. goto www.download.com
2. search for KiwiAlpha
3. download/install (not the exe from www.kiwialpha.com
newer version doesnt work good)
4. search for the bios you need - I found them all
Good Luck! I will be waiting for someone to reply with the version 1.1 xbox succesful bios upgrade attempt.

I sent $20 to Tommy on Thursday December 9th. I figured for $20, it's worth the risk of sending money to a stranger in exchange for a promise of a pre-flashed Spiderchip.
I was grateful of Tommy's trust to send the chip that day, even before receiving my money. He sent it via USPS. It is now the 19th, and I have not yet received the chip. His location is in PA, and I'm in FL, so I dont' want to jump to any conclusions - yet. I will gladly post that I have received the chip as I do. Until then, those of you considering his offer may want to wait to hear if he has delivered as promised.
Again, I do not want to cast doubt at this point. I simply want to offer those who may be "on the fence" a first hand experience of working with Tommy.
Hopefully in the next day or two I'll be able to report that I have a working system. Until then...

I am proactively posting of my intent to reveal TommyL's personal contact information (RoadRunner email address, cell phone, mailing address, and full name) tomorrow at noon (EST) if he does not provide the DHL tracking number for the chip he supposedly shipped to me 2 days ago (with Next Day Air service).
Has anyone else sent Tommy money?

Well, I guess that resolves any doubt about his true motives. I sent cash. Tommy, I was holding out hope that that you really had shipped the package, but now that your posting lies like this, I'm almost relieved to know that I figured out your true colors. Since you have posted my information, I welcome anyone to contact me. I'll be happy to forward them your email correspondence. By the way Tommy, why don't you scan and post a copy of the "bad check"? I'd love to see a copy!
----------------
Over the last two weeks, I have corresponded with Mr. Leretsis via phone and email at least 10 times. When the chip hadn?t arrived after a reasonable amount of time, Mr. Leretsis claimed he?d DHL a replacement chip with ?NEXT DAY AIR? service. When asked for the tracking number (two days after it hadn?t shown up), Mr. Leretsis claimed DHL would contact me via email with the tracking number.
For the last two days I have warned Mr. Leretsis that I would post his personal contact information if I did not receive a DHL tracking number by 12pm EST on December 23. He responded by asking that I not publish his private information ? and that he would refund my money (which he supposedly never received either). I do not have the time or patience to wait another two week only to find out my money has not been refunded.
Since I have not received a tracking number by the deadline, I can only conclude that the shipment never actually took place, and that his posts marketing his $20 chips are a ploy to defraud newbies (myself included) into sending him money. As I?d originally stated, I was willing to take a risk of sending $20 to a complete stranger ? figuring if I was duped, I could afford to look the other way. I?m sure this is precisely what Mr. Leretsis is banking on. Well, out of principle, my payment of $20 entitles me to reveal his ploy to any and all unsuspecting potential victims.
Mr. Leretsis, should I receive a tracking number, and a working product as your previous posts claim, I will gladly delete this post. Until then, your privacy is no more.
