ok heres the situation.
x2.3b (i think) pro chip. worked fine, wanted to upgrade the bios, and had a bad flash. got it to boot to different bank, bad flash again, and so forth. now all i got is frag...

othere than the hot swapping out method found on xboxscene, is THERE ANY WAY TO RECOVER FROM THIS? can i hook it up via parallel cable, can i reflash a bad flashed bank, anything at all? right now the entire chip is basically useless.....

ANY HELP would be much appreciated. . . . . VERY MUCH APPRECIATED :(

Yes, the parallel cable and programmer can flash over anything, im just wondering why you had two bad flashes...possible corrupt bios file. The chips typically use crc to make sure it is the same as whats on the disk. I would get the file again from a known good source and use the programmer to flash.

thx a bunch, i actually did figure it out, i had never connected the parallel peice before. i took the xbox apart, and hooked up the peice, got a db25 to db25 cable, and the x2 flashing program, and wullah!!! it was super sweet. i had two bad flashes due to the fact that the x2 pro has 1mb of memory each divided into 4 banks of 256 (which u probably know). the reason i had bad flashes is that i was trying to flash my v1.0 box with v1.6 bios (512kb) on two of the banks leaving the only bootable flashbios 2.x. in the end it was my STUPID mistake. i am very good about not making mistakes such as that, but hell, ,i guess everyone has there day.... thanx for the reply though. ANYONE reading this, check your versions!!! (of course).
