@past

disconnect the ide cable from dvd drive. turn on xbox to see if you get error 12.

 

haha chunkheaad thats where i got it from thanks again man

 

i have tried that and i get error 9 the hdd is not detected,.

 

well, it seem like the hdd dead because you get error 9. Usually, people get error 12 or 11 when disconnect the Ide cable from xbox's dvd drive.

anyway, do you have any modchip xbox? did you backup eeprom?

 

hey i was gettin the error 11 on my xbox how do i make it get an error code 12 ? can i use the unlocking tools on an original xbox hd ????

 

error 11 and 12 are very similar failure.

did you try to do hotswap with error 11? did you try to do hotswap with dvd drive connected? How is that turn out?


You dont want to unlock the hdd. Unless you have the original eeprom.

 

Hello, thank you for your great info!

I tried everything but my PC or the xplode wont reconize the XBOX hd
I am sure i do everything right. I tried it on 3 diff PC and no luck. I tried it with master and jump I tried it with and without a game. I am at a lost.

It all started when i tried putting in an emulator through the network. Now when the Xbox starts up all it shows is the bif orange and blue X from the softmode program and it stays right there.

Now when i try the hotswap... nothing happends... the TV stay on the screen with the xbox logo and microsoft.
-When i put a game in the xbox and try it again as soon as the PC starts up after i take it off pauze the TV screen shows "this ebox needs to be serviced"

Any help? tips? clues? please say i am doing something wrong and i can try something new.....

Thanks
Alicia

PS this is original Xbox HD. I did everything on a new HD and it works grear never crashed or anything.

 

so you are trying to fix the original hdd. If you have another hdd which works on this xbox, why are you trying to fix the original one? Plus the hdd is only 8GB and you dont know if hdd is crashed or not.

 

cuz this is for a diff xbox i wont to give it as a gift. But only with the emulators on it not for Xbox Games. And i did crash the HD any info on that?
thanks

 

Oh, you put the original hdd into another xbox. That is why you can't do hotswap.

The original hdd is belong to its xbox only. You can't put other xbox's hdd into this xbox. That is why the xbox can't unlock the hdd

 

no idont have a modchip and i did back up my eeprom before my dash was deleted

 

well, do you know electronic? you can build the eeprom reader. Then backup eeprom manually. The link is in the second posty on the first page

 

k thanks hey tell me your emai and say it quickly because i wanted to send a mod i made to you which im sure you mod.

 

I can't give the email here because it is the rule. Search in my page

 

i have a question ... when makinga new hd for the xbox can i only use 3.5" IDE HDS or can i use a SATA drive as well? the reason im asking is because im having a problem finding a 500gb IDE drive but theirs lots of SATA drive at the place im planning on purching the drive ... plz help me ... thankz

 

about fixing the broken xbox and getting thne eeprom from it... i was able to put the mhackxbox files in the xboxhdm and boot up a new hd without the eeprom in the eeprom folder but it would only work the fist time ... as long as u back it up imeadiatly before the softmod reboots u can save it ... thats why i think my xbox just kept rebooting ... i didnt have the correct eeprom ..so i thought i broke it but i was able to recover it ....maybe im crazy but i did get it to work again .....

 

the hard drive has to be 40 pin 3.5" HD. SATA does not work.
