Ok here's the problem. I have a 1.6 xbox with a botched bios or a bad motherboard. I want to flash my X3 with the 3108 bios on my other xbox(1.1) to see if my 1.6 board is still salvagable. Is the flash size for an X3 1mb? I also want to be sure that when I flash the X3 with the 3108 I can still reflash the chip with a bios that is compatible with xbox versions 1.0-1.5 so that if there is a problem with my 1.6 motherboard I can still use my X3 chip on another xbox.

I've looked at the stickies and I didn't see any real useful links to flashing an X3 (flash sizes, possibility of reflashing, etc). If I missed a link that would explain these would someone please point me to it.

So I guess my questions are: How big do I need to make the bios to flash to the chip(X3)?
Can it be reflashed after a 1mb flash?
Do I even need to do a 1mb flash?

All X3 bios are 1mb and don't need to be resized. You can have 2 different 1mb bios at the same time on it, or if you only flash it with 1 bios it can be reflashed by booting to the 2nd bank with Flashbios 3.0.3 or using the backup with Flashbios 3.0.1...

thanks tech. This is the first time I've ever installed an X3 (mostly done 2.6's and lower). I hate going into something without proper knowledge.

Thanks again

NP, hope you get everything working...
