So here it is, i have installed the modchip all lights are good on the chip etc, when i initially turned the xbox on it didnt have any video output, i assumed that this was because the chip was out of another xbox which was broken and had already had xbmc running as the dash. So i decided to flash the bios, switches 1 and 2 (ON) with x3 3294.bin as i have a 1.3 xbox. It flahes fine, turns off then when i turn it on the xbox boots says 'Xecuter rox my box' then loads the ms dash.
Another thing to note is the long press of the power button no longer works since i flashed the bios it just loads with the chip enabled
and yes flash protection was turned off.
help please

simple config problem.. the chip is booting the default dash.. in your case it looks like the M$ dash on C
Hold down the white button and switch on.. will take you to the x3 config screen.
Have you installed any new dash systems?? your post doesn't say you have so I guess not ;)

flashbios 3.0.3 ?
That's what it should do.. you need to flash a bios on the chip or.. flash protect "ON".. make sure you are on the bank you flashed.

If you are only getting flashbios 3.0.3 then that bank hasn't been flashed. That's all there is.
I only ever flashed from a bios cd.. because I have them built already, but you can network flash somehow.... It's a long time ago and I forget how.. lots of guides are out there if you look for them.

How about the flash protect on the chip itself?.. some have the sense of the switch reversed.. bad fault really.

Yup.. that's what should happen.. to flash you are flashing bank 1 with on on off off off
Then once it completes and you reboot turn the flash protect on and you should get the x3 live config screen... If that isn't happening and you go straight to the stock MS$ dash then hold the white button on your pad. One thing... you need a proper xbox controller.. a 3rd party madcatz or something won't work for some reason.
Just a little thing... if it's a 1.6b you need a proper 1.6b bios on bank 2 or it won't work.. Don't know what the problem with bank 1 is but it's true.
from a site I used to belong to a long time ago...

256k Bank
Bank 1: on on on on
Bank 2: off on on on
Bank 3: on off on on
Bank 4: off off on on
Bank 5: on on off on
Bank 6: off on off on
Bank 7: on off off on
Bank 8: off off off on
512k Bank
Bank 12: on on on off
Bank 34: off on on off
Bank 56: on off on off
Bank 78: off off on off
1MB Bank
Bank 1234: on on off off (Set to this when flashing first time with FlashBIOS)
Bank 5678: off on off off
2MB Bank
Bank 12345678: off off off off
if your reading this after youve made an error flashing,(ie. your xbox is starting and stopping but was fine before you flashed) set your switches up to suit your bios size and then start the xbox by pressing the power and eject buttons together, this will bring up the flashbios screen again, and then flash.

flashbios 3.0.3 is already on the chip... you need something like evoxM8 or 5274 or 3029 or something.. I can't link to them because they aren't legal :)
They can be had on some of the installers.. slayers has a whole heap of them, as does aid.

Are you getting an installer disk or just the dash.. you need an installer to get the bios you need to flash with.. and that will give you all the applications and stuff as well.
You could do with a tool called "extractXiso" so you can get at the files on the disk to pull the bios you need out of the iso. I can't find the old download links.. and mine will be no use to you as it's my own build for linux.
