if you current bios is working fine leave it alone..

you only want to upgrade your bios if you would like to install a 160gb hard drive..

leave it alone as you may break it.

give us some more info mate.. Smile

What bios is on the cdrom you are trying to flash it with..

My guess it would be the LEGAL cromwell bios which is used to boot your xbox to linux..

Sounds to me like you need to download the correct bios (from our vip section) and burn it to cdrom or dvd-r and reflash your chip..

The bios which is supplied with a xecuter 2.x is only for linux and is totally LEGAL.. You need a modified ILLEGAL BIOS to boot backups..

update your profile:

Give us as much info about your xbox as you can find.. It all helps when trying to find your probs..

i have the xecution2.3+lite or whatever the solderless chip is they make...anywho, I updated the cormwell bios with the new xecution bios (lastest) release, and had no problems with burning to dvd-rw's the flashes worked great but now i can't actually boot from the dvd-rom drive. I've burned numerous evox disks, some from the vip section, some from other places, i've even tryed the auto installer. But still when i booter her up it askes for a disk so it can flash the bios. How do i get it to boot from the dvd-rom drive. do i need another bios that will accept dvd boots. if so what one should i download?!?! HELP ME!!

Which version of xbox do you have?
What kind of dvdrom player?

One note is that the x2.b lite+ requires a 512mb bios not a 1024mb, many posts indicate that it requires a 1024, also make sure that when you burn this to a new CDRW that you include some dummy space, as the box has a hard time reading the small file.

Personally I would spend the $20 and get a programmer, after that if you cook the chip you can reflash it .

Keep working, I spent 3 months fooling with my x2.3b, and it boiled down to a connection issue..
