Soft mod ???

[eakinsme]

i read that if i do this:
1-Get myself a copy of slayers(2.5 or 2.6 get from usual places i think)burn onto dvd-r
2-Open both xboxes
3-Make sure they both have power connected and connected to tv
4-Place the boxes close together
5-Power on my modded box until evox is on screen(harddrive is unlocked)
6-Power on problem box
7-Get ready as when 'X' logo appears with ms underneath(harddrive is unlocked)
8-Quickly whip out ide cable in prob box and swap with ide cable from modded box
9-Place slayers disc into dvd tray on modded box
10-Select install evox and apps on retail c drive
11-Slayers then copies files to c drive on unmodded box
12-When complete replace ide cables without turning off boxes
13-Reboot newley modded box and hey presto.

it should work! but what i wanna know is if i do this can i do it with any evoX dvd-r then would it be possible to ftp my C: & E: drives over to the other xbox so they are the same?

hey dude are you looking to get an electric shock its dodgy man! chipin its as good la la la

[eakinsme]

i didn't think the hdd was in use after evoX was loaded!

[eakinsme]

so if i try to do that softmod part i just described, then i should be able to boot evoX. then i wanna know if i can copy my C:, E:, D:, and F: to the softmodded xbox (from my modded xbox) and then it should work just like my modded xbox right?
will this work?

[eakinsme]

alright guys.. nevermind the hotswap method.. i am prolly gonna use the mem card one.. so all i have to do is FTP my xbox with the saves i need on the PC.. transfer them to the mem card and then boot the xbox with the mem card hack? then i should transfer over my C: and E: drives and it should boot the evoX dash each time?
thanks
PS: what does the mem card show up as when FTPing?

[eakinsme]

i have completly decided on doing a mem card way.

1.How do i transfer the whole folder (one flie plus folder??) i need to the mem card?
2.after i load the save, it loads into evoX correct? then can i just copy all my drives from my modded xbox over to the softmodded xbox?
3. If i do this, will it load the evoX dash automatically..if not how can i make it automaticaly load evoX with a softmodded xbox?

thanks

Eakinsme, it is a bit more than just loading up a save. You have to install a dashboard exploit if you do not want to load the evox save everytime. Also, you need "Pheonix Bios loader" (pbl) to load the bios, otherwise you won't be able to open the disk tray or load backups, emulators, etc..(without signing).

As for the save, you copy it onto the xbox HDD from the memory menu in the original dash, so the save loads from the HDD and not the memcard.

I think I saw an easy type tool on XB Scene for softmodding. It was made by the same guys who made Slayers. I think it was called 007SIN or somethin. Look it up.



Tyler!

[eakinsme]

i did see the SIN thing.. it didn't help too much..I have the save on my xbox and am gonna wait till i get my other xbox to try it out!
The thing i need answered is that after i load up evoX (after the savegame) then can i ftp over my C: and E: from my modded xbox and have it boot evoX each time?
Tyler: i looked at XBOXSCENE and i couldn't find any 007SIN any ideas?

[eakinsme]

Tyler.. i found the info on it! it sounds like there should be a file for it tho?
http://www.xbins.org/nfo.php?file=xboxnfo1145.nfo
any ideas.. or will this work with the savegame hack (xbins-i already have this file).. i just ask because it says u need to install UDF and i dunno if thats in the file i have from xbins?
Thanks

You still need a certain original game with that method??

I tried to hot swap, using some POS app caled HDD Driver for win 2000 or XP. It searched high and low and never found the xbox drive on my PC even tho XP detected the HD. Also it said the Xbox that you're trying to softmod will spiddown the drive after 10 minutes or so, I left it for 20 min and it was still clicking away. Does MSDash really unlock the drive while it's on or what?

Also since Hot swapping to my PC didn't work I got the bright idea that I should be able to hot swap to a modded xbox, that didn't work either, error 06 I believe (HD Locked!!! :O ).

So the only way I that I've been able to softmod an xbox so far is to actually put a chip in the mobo, boot up evox on CD and FTP the softmod files then remove the chip! It only takes like 10 min to install a chip but ... got to be an easier way than all this!!!

Softmod I used was Audio exploit.

[puppeteer666]

there is a ude installer that will install all that to your hdd from xbox hdd (but requires a modded xbox to put in hack. ftp to modded xbox then to mem card then copy that file on mem card to the unmodded xbox)
off subject a little anyone heard of microsoft adding protection from softmods?
using the ude installer that my friend has used on multiple xboxes with success refused to work on my refurb xbox no error codes when booting it just says call microsoft for repair.
also another strange thing is it boots all originals fine but will not boot platinum titles no ddr mesage just says this is not signed mircosoft content or some thing like that same messge ya get when popping a backup in an unmodified xbox.
anyone hear of this before?

re edit for a little more clarity it is a ver 1.0 had the original dash then upped the dash to most current still will not allow platinum games to boot or accept any soft mods at all.(refurb was inspected and repaired 12/10/04 and purchased by me on 12/17
