Your best bet is to somehow get the X2 5035 BIOS flashed into that modchip, which should allow the system to boot up despite the bad EEPROM restore, though I'm unsure if you'll be able to flash it while the machine is in it's current state. You may need to put the modchip in a functional system in order to do that, then swap it back.

There are a couple of ways you can fix this. Assuming you have your eeprom.bin dump somewhere, you could build an Eeprom reader/writer attached to your PC's serial port to re-write that data back on.
I have a dedicated reader/writer on hand if you need help (you'd have to pay for shipping the chip though).
the bad thing is i dont have my eeprom.bin dump
Is there still some option to repair without my eeprom.bin?

You can either use a BIOS that doesn't care if the EEprom is intact, or just write a different EEProm.bin to your eeprom. You'd loose MS Live functionality, and possibly have an MAC address clash, but I don't think anyone will be missing MS Live, and the MAC address can be manually edited.
hmm this sounds good, but how to use a BIOS or write a different eeprom.bin? Because there is nothing on my monitor when i turn on my xbox, just darkness and red light flashing (but dvd unit seems to work normaly). Is there some softwere that i can burn to dvd and will show some menu´s when i boot up xbox? or am i wrong?

The X2 5035 should allow you to boot again, but only if the HDD is unlocked - if that's not the case, then you will need to unlock the drive. How you do that depends on whether or not you're using the original HDD or not.
If it's an upgraded HDD, then it's very likely already unlocked. If you plug the HDD into your computer, LiveInfo can tell you whether it's locked or not.

If the failed console is not a 1.6, then odds are the other machine won't boot off the modchip... it depends on what's in the other banks. You can certainly try it. Should be no issues if the two consoles are of the same version.

I found that X2 5035 bios is 512k and my modchip Aladdin advanced have 256k bios. I dont really know if this is true... Can i still flash with this bios or do i need another bios? but which one that doesn care if eeprom is corrupted?

Work out whether the drive is locked and what version your console is, and we'll go from there.
