OK so I've found This and this guys saying that solder points could be bad,traces etc. But what I don't understand is if the solder points were bad why would i be aloud to continue to flash my bios? i booted up the xbox with the solder job done,inorder for me to load up the game ok. Can any one confirm whether it is for sure that on a 1.1 v xbox i only need to solder the two points on the top and the two points on the bottom, not a sharp tsop.

Other point here

are you sure you used the correct bios? you say you used iND 5003, but modified with xbtool, xbtool doesnt work with iND bioses, its only for the x2 4000 series

other than that everything sounds right, you can try the 3 wire trick (see my sig) and see if that helps

the 3 wire trick didn't work.

That's surprising. If it definitely doesn't work on all banks then the BIOS must be corrupt, so you'll need to fit a chip.

And to reiterate what lordvader129 said, you don't use XBtool with iND-BIOS. I've just tried and it refuses to open iND-BIOS.5003, so I have no idea what you actually did. I suspect that you might have used X2ool, which is for X2.5xxx BIOSes, and which just writes an X2config.ini file, but that doesn't explain why the BIOS is corrupt.

You've also missed the key point about using iND-BIOS.5003, which is that you DON'T edit the BIOS, you flash the BIOS then make your changes in the config file, C:\ind-bios.cfg

DuoX2. Cheap, reliable, has 2 x 512k banks - and it's still available!

No. You can't easily repair the BIOS. The chip will stay in the Xbox.

[Heimdall]

No. The chip stays in the Xbox. Permanently.
