SONOFABITCH. :angry: :angry:
I just spent the last 90 minutes trying to flash this thing. Won't work no matter what I do. Finally I go check the forums and search on my error messages.
Turns out many of the PCBs are labeled incorrectly and have the flash protect setting reversed in the silkscreen. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
EDIT: Yep. File that away as a datapoint. Some Xecutor 3 PCBs have the one setting that is silkscreened on the PCB, the really fundamentally important one, reversed. For future reference: Green LED = protected. Red LED = flashable. Not what it says on the PCB.

I'm a bit confused.
You posted that if you install a modchip without flashing the bios then its ok to do so, but now you are flashing the bios. So its not ok is it?

I didn't read anywhere that he was using an illegal bios. Did you? :police: ::)
I do agree with you though that this thread should be at least closed if not sent to PH.
I realize this is the "console" part of the boards but xbox-scene is really the place this type of discussion should be happening.
And in regards to the text directed at Saint... There is a "Report to moderator" link at the bottom of every post on these boards. If you really think a thread should be shut down, click that and let the appropriate persons take care of it!

It all depends on what I flashed it with.
You're awfully adamant for someone who can't be bothered to use the proper channels for such a complaint.

WhY? It's ok in everyone's mind except yours. Why don't you go to some forum where people listen to you?
How did the responses from micrsoft go? I bet they jumped right on your email when they found out someone might be hacking an xbox. Amazing how Chad isn't in jail yet with your diligence.
