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?

There you go making assumptions again. Give it a rest, you've already proven to all that have read this thread that you are a bit ignorant and unable to comprehend simple facts.
The process of flashing a modchip is not illegal either. You have no idea what Chad flashed to his chip and Saint has no reason to close the thread.
Go troll elsewhere.

The SmartXX chip booted to the hacked bios with the eject button (which is a much nicer button for power than the one meant for power due to it being so much more prominent). The long press on the Xecuter chip, like you said, is ridiculous. Pressing it without triggering the factory bios is almost a videogame in itself.

That's one of the nice points to the Aladdin chip I have in one of my Xboxes. It's the opposite of the Xecuter in that the short push will load the normal bios and a long press will load the flashed bios. It's much easier to hold the button for a split second than it is to tap it as quick as you possibly can.

I'm sorry. Silly me and I thought you had to install the mod first before you could flash the bios. Thanks for clearing that up. I stand corrected.

There you go thinking again.
There are chips available with a usb interface, that basically become thumb drives that you can then plug into a PC and flash without ever having to open up your console. You would be well advised to at least make an attempt to research this topic before you condemn everyone for performing a deed that you deem "illegal."

Right well I've manged to flash my bios and that seems to work.
My xbox appears unable to read anything (I've been trying installer discs so far) I burn to dvd+r's, burnt at any speed, by any of 3 different burners. Reads cdrw fine though. It has a samsung drive inside. Is this just luck of the draw?
