Hello, all
I am a US Soldier stationed in Iraq. Recently, due to my own lack of knowledge/experienced, I managed to misuse ConfigMagic 1.6 Final in an attempt to resurrect another soldier's softmodded Xbox. I flashed his EEPROM bin onto my EEPROM to lock his HDD with his password, which worked, and he couldn't be happier).
In doing so, I have put my own Xbox (1.6b, Xecuter 3ce/solderless kit, 200GB HDD) in a "Coma". It will still boot to FlashBIOS 3.0.3 (which I discovered, then proceded to flash into the top 4 256 banks just to be sure), and will seemingly flash other BIOSs perfectly. However, EVERY other BIOS I flash either boot 2x then FRAGs, or begins to boot then just sits there with a green LED, and no signal to the TV. I can hear the fan spin down, and the HDD spin down.
I tried the AddEEPROM, EEPROM.BIN, cromwell_patched.bin approach with my own EEPROM data, to no avail... FRAG. After exhaustive research on this and other sites, I believe that flashbios_x3_303-unauthorized is my only option that doesn't involve new hardware.
Here's my problem. As stated above, I am a soldier in Iraq. I do not have great internet. I cannot access IRC from the internet here. I have searched Torrent sites, Google, Usenet, I even tried eDonkey, but couldn't connect. I found another FTP site that seemed to have everything EXCEPT the one thing I need. Are there any other options or outlets? Of course I am not asking anyone to send it to me directly. I just need to know if I have exhausted all options before I start poking around eBay or Amazon.
Any help, direction, consolation ect will be greatly appreciated.
