Help pls : New HDD for softmod

The earlier you can get the eeprom safely to your computer the better!

You seem to have it all correct.

From the softmod screen, you can actually make the eeprom backup, FTP in and save it that way! Then you can do what you want, you'll always be able to repair the HDD! Have a look at my "FTP an Unmodded console" tutorial!

 

ARRRR

just when i thought i had it all sorted.
was going through the softmod process.. backed up the eeprom & went to do step 2 ie 'CREATE MS BACKUP' & got the following after trying to do the MS backup... FOUND MODDED FILES ... action = rename

I tried to continue anyway & it wouldnt allow me to with the messgage @ the "check point" FAILURE : E:\backup\ms not found.

I have used the file manager in SID4 to look in E:\ & there is no MS dir that I could see ..

where does it hide or can I just instal a dashboard somehow

DO I DEL MS BACKUP ??

What modded files do i del to continue the fresh softmod please

 

Use my "FTP an Unmodded Xbox" tutorial to go in, install a fresh C:\ and also make sure that you do not have any E:\Backup folders!

You'll be fine after that!

 

SWEET..

softmod completed.. OR so I thought.

After following as directed from Chunkhead & his tuts its supposed to be all done & dusted..

BUT in the M$ dash i go to "network" settings & the screen goes Black/Blank wich ever way you want to say it..

And also the modded boot is in black/white.. BUT i do remember reading that somewhere in the last 48hrs of post readings..

Can anyone point me directly to the post re "no color" in softmod screens please.. I will start looking again , but dont exactly remember what topic it was even under..

thanks

Nearly there...

 

It's a flaw in the region settings.

Easily corrected with a program called "Enigma Video" this can be found on AID disc, etc. Change the setting to the oposite region, then back to your correct setting!

 

Yeah ok , cool I have been reading some more & found that out too.

Is this something that has been fixed in a later version of the programs for the softmod ?? sid 4.XXX ??

Is the Enigma Video Changer available as a stand alone prgram anywhere as my internet is rather slow ATM..

thanks

 

I have added it to the Software section!

 

Chunkhead... You are a LEGEND..

thats the next problem solved..

Its now in "PAL" & color in both modes..

Still no network settings in standard M$ dash though !!! thoughts ??

OH I can access M$ dash via media centre & its got network settings showing in there but not in "Standard boot mode"...

very strange to me..

anyone else had this problem ??

 

MS Dash network settings are useless, use the ones in a modded dash (XBMC, EvoX, UnleashX, etc)

 

Yeah, will do the network settings from Evox/XBMC
for sure..

BUT is there a reason why the settings screen in the M$ dash has dissapeared ??

or is it just my softmod thats done it ??
(is this normal that it isnt vissable after softmod)

thanks for all the help

 

Not too sure, I've noticed that certain screen are missing on different Xboxs. I don't really care as the MS Dash is pointless!

 

Chunkhead can you help me please?

a few posts back you said install a fresh C:/

i have ms backup failed and FOUND MODDED FILES

where do i get the C:/ from?

many thanks
