can i use the hotswap method to fix error code 09 i used the auf exploit on it to softmod it and is there away to hotswap without frying your motherboard,the xbox and yourself any help would really be helpful
9 - kernel - HDD parameters (PIO/DMA/or size {debug}, certain size minimum is required for debug) Not very common error, please try another harddisk. Do you have an EEPROM.bin? Im not sure if you can hotswap, i had an error 9 on my box and i had to build UNICRONS EEPROM reader and use another harddrive as the one i had was wasted.
No i dont have an eeprom.bin but ive read t he tutorial on how to make an eeprom reader but i dont think i would be able to do that considering im not good with electronics and dont know how to solder at all also.i do have another hdd that i took out of my other xbox that i took apart though..
Ive got the xboxhdm cd already just havent been able to do it because have no idea on where to put what cable and how to put the jumper settings also.. plus im a lil bit weary on doing this kuz i dont want to fry my motherboard on my xbox or computer or myself.. is there away i can like replace the hdd or get a new one somewhere?
by hotswapping your more likely to destroy the hard drive by hotswapping! if you get an error twelve with the dvd drive unplugged you should be fine! "if its still error 9" then i guess you really need to try the hotswap/or build an eeprom reader without an EEPROM.BIN you cant just swap a drive as it matches it to a chip on your motherboard to lock/unlock a drive. there are lots of xboxes at carbootsales with no leads for £5 or less just check the bottom to make sure its not been opened. When you boot the xbox does it freeze on the flubber intro? your xbox jumper "if its a stock 8GB" the pin should be closest to the IDE ribbon for MASTER unplug your PC HDD "should be on Primary Channel" turn on your PC with your xbox hdmv1.9 cd in the drive and check in your bios to boot from CD/DVD at the bios detection press Pause/Break key. now turn on your xbox with the DVD Power/IDE unplugged, hopefully you have an error twelve, if still 9 u can try anyway. when your at an error unplug the IDE ribbon on your xbox drive and plug the IDE ribbon from your PC into the xbox drive then hit enter/Space on your keyboard in xbox hdm choose option 1 (enter) type xboxhd (enter) choose option 1 (enter) type yes a few times when finished type 8 (enter) then type poweroff (enter) once shutdown turn power off and reattach the IDE ribbon in your xbox and the DVD IDE/power supply.
No my xbox dont freeze at all it just starts up and then all the sudden i get error code 09.. i cant make an eeprom reader kuz im not good with soldering at all or electronics either..is there like away to fix the hdd in it or the cable kuz i read the forum and it says if u get 09 make sure the cable is attached firmly to the hdd or something and i did but still no luck or anything
