How to Softmod with SID 4.0! Tells how to get on XBL too!

Mik3h : is the xbox currently softmoded or not ? , just run linux and ftp a fresh ms dash ( CKECH MY SIGNITURE ) extracted of course to C and overwrite everyitng in there , from there it should boot to retail xbox and voila mod it .

oh and if you get error 21 , just pop disc again and run linux and you can fix that error , easiest error to fix ,

pnksktr6 : man i dont know if your really trying or your just scared in trying this , but its taking everyone longer to explain then it is to do it , download taht big sid 4 file on this thread , then extract it once , it hsould end up in to diffrent sid files like swordsg said , from there drag sid 4. linux laucher and then the choice of game your using TO MEM CARD SECTION .... one you have both transfer to xbox run disc load linux voila..

if 2 files dont fit put 1 then erase it from mem card and put 2nd ,

 

Well when I boot, it brings me to msdash, but "Xbox Live" does not show, I read that this is what the linux mod does, removes it from the menu. And thats all I can do really, play retail, but only it's not retail. Green light, It's a mod I think, only a very old mod.. I can boot the splinter cell and SID menu, only batch process fails of creating MS backup reason : found existing softmod. I can't FTP to it or anything either.

ok so its modded with an old 455 mod , simple run sid 4 linux ( its temporarly open a port for ftp ) then ftp ms dash to C to overwrite every8itnng

check under my signiture .

this will fix any error good luck easy fix

 

I did the softmod with splinter cell but I have the red light of death and I don't see unleashX.

 

red light of death is fine now , does it ask someting about pressing A? if so then do it , after that it should run ux or evox ( get ux)

if it loads ms dash set time power off power on

but yea you gotta press A so it patches it

 

Nope, I just have the memory screen with the red light blinking.

 

it's working now, how do I save a game to the hard drive?

 

go to www.xbox-hq.com and get [bold]aid 3[/bold] ( its like slayers) burn it and install dvd2xbox , keep in mind stock hd will fit between 0 to 6 games ... depenidng on game , like halo 2 wont fit , you should upgrade hd and you dont need a modchip ...

Is it called aid 3? I don't know what the file name is.

 

Hey i followed the guide perfectly and it all installed finely but whenever im on the dash its in black and white with a red light on the front it all works fine and the games work well i just would like to know how to fix. Thanks.

P.S. Do you know how to make music play while you start a modded game on a modded dash do you just play a soundtrack and it keep going?

BTW is there any way to put modded xbox maps on without using FTP like by using AR?
Thanks Seano

 

maps i belive have to be burn in or ftped ... but plz dont ask about them here , an order to play burned music on games you can either do it the normal way thru ms dash or burn .mp3 and use xbox soundtrack editer...

as for the b/w colors are you pal xbox?

www.xbox-hq.com/html make threads ( free accounts) and ask more qustion there , they have solutions cuz its a xbox only website with free downloads and such tools.

 

ok guys, i modded my friends box and he left it unplugged for a while and he got the legendary error 16, it's softmodded with UX and it won't even load up to a game from what he's telling me. how the hell do i fix this one?

 

good job, this was a great tut, it worked great

 

onthedge : if no game is bootable / or exploits then you HAVE TO hotswap w/out an eeprom

look under my signiture for the easiest hotswap ...

 

one problem though, i don't have a PC that doesn't freeze a drive. can i just unlock the HDD and then use the xbox HDD as a second drive? or can i even chip it to go around the error 16? i'm probably gonna wind up paying somewhat for a new xbox for him since he was considering it anyways, so will a chip work on it?

ok, here's a killer: what if i start up both my xbox and my friends to unlock both HDDs and then swap mine into his IDE to set his clock then reboot his with his HDD?

 

you can disable the primary ide drive and it wont freeze the drive ... and the sosftware will reconise the hd so it will work , its a fast fast work you can chip it sure thats wil tkae care of issues , if you unlock a softmoed xbox w/otu eeprom your screwd unless you get a chip ...

softmods REQUIRE locking

 

i know,i heard u say it about 1 dozen times, lol. btw, if i disable the primary IDE drive though, then it doesn't recognise any drive there at all. ok, so on the chip: will an Xecutioner 2.6 CE cover this probably? i'm just gonna buy it from the box from my friend so i can hard mod one and play live with the other.

 

do what u want but to recover the hd takes less then 3 to 5 mins... then you restart the softmod process with this sid 4 and u wont never have issues again due to the safe scritping sid 4 is .. as far as chip i dont have any hard moding experice but chip fixes it all , remember the dangers of installing one ,

 

ok, the thing with SID 4, that's what f'ed up my system already, it was installed with that on UX and it was left unplugged for as long as mine was and it wouldn't work when mine would. so WTF?

 

Hey, i need help really badly....i used the splinter cell softmod thing and it didn't quite softmod and when i turn on my xbox it goes straight to my old xbox dashboard it doesn't even say anything about the new one i installed but the weird thing is that my xbox light is red....and im trying to get on xbc and it wont work cuz its modded.....it wont find the game....please help me uninstall this mod...its like my xbox is just like it was in the beginning just my light is red...
