how do i edit the eeprom file i need to chnge the hd key serial number and model number. can i edit this?
You can't just change your eeprom. Sure you can open it in notepad and mess around with it, but the eeprom is an actual chip in your xbox. If you are wanting to replace the stock hard drive you must generate a key from YOUR eeprom to lock it with. The key needed to lock a specific hard drive will be different for every xbox according to its eeprom. There are several key generators out there, I recommend "xboxhdm", although it is a DOS utility.
what version of xboxhdm is dos ? the version I have is linux based , with 1 task that can be done in dos , otherwise it is a linux .
Hey guys got a few questions regarding HD and eeprom. I am trying to get a new HDD and Eeeprom in my xbox (for undisclosed reasons) I have a friend who has an old xbox he is willing to sell to me for like $40 (cant complain) I told him I would need the HDD and Eeeprom. This is where the problem occurs. I can probably install the HD (I will FTP the original HD contents to my COMP) then I will install the new HD fromk my friend, then FTP the contents back to my new HD. But when it comes to installing it what programs and or tools will i need? After that is where I get confused. I realize that the Eeprom itslef is a chip on the mother board and it is controlled by a .bin file. This is where I need help. How to get the eeprom? Whether i need the chip itself or the .bin file? How do i get the chip and or the .bin file from his unmodded xbox? And then how do i install it on my modded xbox? I have an xecuter 3 chip, Proswitch, Stock HD (10GB), LCD screen, 2 Usb ports, thompson disk drive, Unleash X, XBMC. ANy info would be very helpful!!! Thanks
hey akspud93, check this link out it should have all the info you need.http://xbox-scene.com/articles/recover-locked-hd.php Good luck !
You actually have it backwards. The eeprom chip builds the eeprom file not the other way around. A great tool for building a new hard drive is "Xboxhdm". Just google it.
