Please Help!! I used Slayers 2.6 to unlock my retail XBOX HDD. I don't have any Mod Chips. I don't know the password of the HDD and I don't have the EEPROM of the board. Is there any way to lock my retail HDD again??? Is there any way to extract the old password from an Unlocked HDD?? Thanks.
How did you manage to get you Drive unloced in the first place?? Did you at leat have enough sence to copy you GSH to your XBOX™?? If so then you should still be able to boot your Original Game Disc, and run your GSH to eventually boot back into EvoX where you can presumably rerun your EEPROM Tool cough ConfigMagic cough from, and relock your Drive. To answer you other question... Um I don't think so all the ATA Unlock / Lock Tools I have ever used were all in pure DOS-Mode. Besides what use is it to anyone to have such Tools when you do not even know what the 'HDD Key' was!! You can not just go and lock your HDD with any old Key it has to be the one your XBOX™ expects it to be. If it's not then you'd just be starring at an 'Error 06'. At wich point you could for all intnents and purpose chuck it (the Drive), in the Bin! BTW: Since your Drive is unlocked. If you haven't botherd to backup your GSH to your HDD (e.g. E:\ Partition), you might have a somewhat easier time of it on your PC with a FATX Emulator. Doing so should then allow you to get back into EvoX. At which point recovery should be realistic...
I can connect the drive to my PC and extract the information. I have an image of the drive in my PC. What is a GSH?? How could I make an image of the EEPROM without booting into the XBOX?? Am I lost?
First off that depends on if your Drive is indeed Locked or not. Even if your Drive is unlocked, I think your going to have a hard time trying to read a FATX HDD on a FAT16/32, NTFS Windows PC. Yes there is a reasion. It's the same reasion why M$ uses UDFX for there DVD Game Disc's. The reason being so that you can not directly access it on a PC. Secondly that info would be stored on the ROM (EEPROM) on the HDD itself, so you couldn't get to it anyhow. There are some FATX Emulators out there that can barly read FATX. So you might be able to find one that could be used to grab a copy of your 'EEPROM.bin' File. off the HDD if your lucky. You'll then need to us LiveConfig to read out the EEPOM.bin File to get the 20-Bit lock / unlock Code. GSH = Game Save Hack (i.e. 007AUF, MechAssult or Splinter Cell). If this is what you did to ge the Drive to unlock you shoulld have hopfully still have that GSH on on your XBOX™ E:\ Partition (i.e. Game Save Partition),. Relaunch your above Game and reload the GSH, to reload EvoX, You should have the option to relock the Drive. If not you can download ConfigMagic to your XBOX™ (useing the EvoX FTP functions), to relock your HDD. The only way I can think of would require you to have a Modchip, installed, and a Copy of Slayers 2.x FINAL or some other Installer CD. Which could be auto booted though the DVD-ROM Drive. Thuss the need of a Modchip!
