@jonwilcox
Did you clean up the xbox's hdd before copying Shademand files over?
I still dont understand why.

Did you download ms dash from megaupload and follow instruction "RESTORE HDD TO FACTORY CONDITION"?

If not, do so.


huh...

 

I haven't tried the MS Dash yet. I'll do that tonight. I don't know what you mean by clean my xbox, I deleted everything from every folder and upload new stuff to partition 3 and 4.
Thanks for your help.

 

Thanks for the great tutorial. I used it to fix an error 13 on a softmod, it worked great.
Can this method be modified to perform a new install using a new and larger harddrive.

Thanks.

Ian

I tried the above. My xbox still need service. It makes a studdering sound at the end of the music - flashes and then go's to service screen (I think My xbox is ver 1.0 made in Mexico). Could this be a problem?

That download had a more folders other than the C & E folders, should I've done something with those?

 

@jonwilcox

Yes the download have more folders, but you just need ms dash files as I listed on the tut. It should work even your xbox is in Mexico.

I dont why or what causes the problem. You have tried all of these and i'm out of idea.

Urrg... sorry!

I'll will let you know if I find another way.


@IanW451
CHEERS........
For new hdd you can't follow this tut.


@jaigle
YOu can't say that man. At the beggining you did successfully hotswap. But you messed up the ms files.

My hotswap method works 90%

 

jaigle wat chip u get n from where?

 

Hi, I have been searching night after night to fix the problem with my xbox and had no luck. But then I found this post in the forrum and it's the same exact problem i'm having. Can anyone tell me how he fixed it. I would greatly appreciate it.

<"HI! ok, i have a problem and havent seemed to be able to find any answers, i softmodded my xbox and it works fine... untill i wanted to change the hard drive... i was going to use xboxhdm but when it was time to find my eeprom.bin in my backup ms directory... IT WAS GONE!!! wtf... i dont know what happend to it... i have all other files and definately did a backup. I dont know where to go or what to look for... i did however find a file called system_eeprom.bin in the xboxmediacenter directory... can i use that or can i use the hotswap technique to get my eeprom back??? PLEASE HELP!! has anybody ever heard of this missing eeprom file">

 

lol ur prolly gonna have to rebuild da drive if u cant get the hotswap method workin for lil or no money, or if money not a prob, u can get a chip w/o loosin ur data

 

What is the hotswap method for retreiving a missing eeprom.bin file?

 

@thereture, maybe the hot swap works but im just sayin to newbies its not something they should try cuz if they fusk up its gonna cost em more in the long run

@regime I got my self a DuoX chip from my buddy who fixed me all up and everything for 40$

 

mogden, u can try n hotswap n retrieve ur eeprom

 

@regime For hotswap you need to connect the xbox hard drive to a different IDE cable than the main PC hard drive correct? So if my secondary IDE slot has my dual disk drives attached to it then do I just disconnect the disc drives so I can hook the xbox up to that slot for the hotswap?

 

exactly man. u kno how to time the disconnection of da drive rite?

 

@regime your suposed to disconnect right when the white microsoft logo appears below the big green X upon the xbox`s boot-up, right?
