Hotswap Can Fix Xbox With Error 13, 14, 16, 20 And 21, can reinstate Xbox's HDD To Factory Condition, can also Install/Reinstall Softmod Files. Al...

I am having the same exact issue. I spent a few hrs last night and finally transferred the Shademand files and I went from error 13 to 21. I then tried again and put my original files back on partition 3 and it wnet back to error 13. Do we have a link that is definitely known to be good for the files?

Also when using xlporer360 i always get a error first about not detecting fatx or something along those lines. But then it still shows the partitions. Also it will not allow me to just drag and drop files. It only allows to select a folder or file to copy over. Anyoen else with the same issue?

 

Update:

Just downloaded the files fromt he Megaupload link on the first page. These have the original MS files and now my xbox is back to normal. Now it needs to be softmodded. What is next? Should I now install the Shademand files?

 

ok i finnaly put shademans softmod on the hard drive, and xbox live still not working, something about MTU setting in router. someone plaese help me. im debating on selling and starting over. could it be my motherboard not letting it connect.

 

its the router check the connections


the ip

 

yeah, i already checked that, plus i have 2 xbox, 1 tried modding and 1 stock, all i do is unplug 1 and plug in other and the good one works fine, xbl and all

CHEERS........

You can't go LIVE with the Shademand softmod files on the xbox. Otherwise, you will get banned. If you want to go LIVE, reinstall xbox's hdd to factory condition as [bold]ugabuga[/bold] did.



@ugabuga

CHEERS........

There are 2 ways to softmod your xbox.

1/ hotswap and install shademand softmod files.
2/ read my second post on the first page. There is a link that shows you how to softmod your xbox.




Finally, Cheers all you guys.

 

cheers n yea u cant go on live otherwise ull get banned but if u want to get banned then go on live by turning on xbox with ejecr button then turn off then tur on woorks fine with me!

 

Thanks for the help guys. Now that I have the xbox back to factory condition, you are saying that i could hotswap again and use Shademand files to mod the xbox?

Last time i tried that i rebooted the xbox and it came up with an error? Also if I try it, do i delete all the files in every partition then copy the Shademand files or add them to the existing files?

Thanks for all the help guys!

 

i already tried to put it back to normal and it still doesnt work, and i tried using eject button and still dont work. i guess im just screwed, i have been trying to fix for a month and a half now and im fed up with this crap. im going to just get another xbox(new) and do the softmod.

i can still go on live with a softmodded xbox just not an upgraded hard drive. i have friends on xbl with modded maps (new maps only, still cool though) he just doesnt go into matchmaking. hes been modded for a month or so and still going.

 

alright how about this, i want to use my modded xbox for xbconnect, but how do i get the new maps on my xbox for halo 2 is i cant connect to xbl
or can somone tell me wher to go to get this info, thanks

 

@ugabuga

You delete all files, but first you need to keep a backup copy of your ariginal then transfer all files from shademands softmod.

 

@ugabuga

Thats files from the C and E folder.

 

Hey, i was wondering if someone could help me out i was playing around with my softmoded xbox and was trying to get set up how i wanted it, i droped the controller after messing with the softmod and somehow deleated my ms backup. when i try to boot the xbox it doesent show the white microsoft logo under the x. it just shows the error screen with no error code. it does the same thing with a game or without a game. i canot ftp and i dont have an eeprom backup on my pc. i have been trying for a couple days but can not find a solution. i have tryed hotswaping and useing xbhdm but i am unsure if i need an eeprom backup if useing factory hdd? any advice would be great.

 

@JIMMYGUTZ

do the hotswap and install the shademand's softmod or i can send u the clean and working ms dash, I DID HOTSWAP AND INSTALLED the ms I have, and it worked. (I had error 16 and used my ms dash Ihave and my xbox is fine now, and I have xbl)


MY GAMERTAG IS dnnnfoxpimp

 

will that work if i lost my eeprom backup?

 

@JIMMYGUTZ
what is the problem with xbox now?

 

How do I copy the files need into partitions. if gives me sub folders like c and e.

 

hi i have error 16 with no white logo and unpluged the dvd drive and hot swapped got into the hdd and loaded up xplorer360 but it wont let me delete the partition files in 4 and some in three can anybody help???

 

Ive alswyas said softmodding sux, because quite simply, people mess em up and dont know how to rectify the problem.
easy solution
fit a chip!
use an installer (like mine)
cant I repeat CANT go wrong!!
once the chip is flashed, anything messes up, stick the installer disc in, sorted
everything to format, install dashes, lock/unlock the drive is there.

if you dont want, you never ever have to connect xbox to pc
seems to me that the simplest solution (ie softmod) has more problems than a hard mod to people who are newbs to modding
in the long run, a modchip is the safest, easiest way to go!

 

Where do I get a disc
