Okay let me explain everything here. First I had a softmodded xbox that worked fine but without the latest ms dash so you know I said okay i'll format it then install the new ms dash then I could patch it.... well it never worked out like that and next thing you know I get a service screen error code I don't remember the code number but it was the one with no dash found blah blah... so basically my hdd was completely useless. Now the fun part, I didn't write down the password for the HDD key nor do I know the master or user password so I had only one choice but the HOTSWAP it... after cursing a few times it didn't want to work, but I finally managed to get it working, from there surprisenly atapwd let me reset the master and user password and I erased the whole damn thing! now I formated it under mmc good my hdd is now unlocked for good. okay next step I used was the HD_PREPARER which I selected entire drive for zeroing. After that was done I used xboxhdm to build a hd from scratch, good it worked like a charmed, I got the system-files from a friend and I put it in the C: partition and for the hell of it I added back the savegame exploit into E: now after burning the xboxhdm with the system-files everything worked fine, I was like finally I could get this to work. Now first time I try the hdd on the xbox, I get another error code that meant it can't boot because the hdd is unlocked so i'm like fine... for some reason I had trouble locking the hdd after several attempts it finally locked... now I tried it again, now it gives me error code 6 that it can't unlock the hdd.... now for the password I put in the password value that I got from liveview or whatever its called but I didn't have my eeprom file so I imagine thats worthless what I put? so now i'm stuck here, anybody know how to fix this one? You think by buying a modchip will resolve my issue? What are your thoughts?
Holly crap dude. sounds to me like you've done a good job so far. a mod chip would PROBABLY fix it. A guy named Punqewe will probably be able to help you out though, just be patiant. (there are other pros here too i just cant remember there names. sorry guys)
I'd say go with the modchip...you've done alot already,you deserve to play some games. What version of xbox is it by the way?
Yeah,I'd still say go with the chip......and coming from a non-chip user,that's saying alot. IMHO Let us know how things go for ya
