yea i posted a question about how to get on live with the softmod dealing with the dhcp and the static stuff but no one answered it so i was wondering if u guys might have found out how to help me or not. basicly i cant get on live but i can play XBC and i can ftp but yet i cant get on live so plz help....thx in advance

 

Ive never use XBL but maybe you should try a differnt thread more for XBL this one is for SID4 and how to mod ur box initial with SID for so you may go on XBL.Search on the search engien with in this site.

 

Hope that helps.

 

what your suposed to do is when you go to the internet settings change static ip to DHCP then save it and restart your xbox and when your modded dashboard loads in the bottom right it should have its DHCP ip adress there

 

lol thats what ftp does what you do it run your ftp program and transfer the files to the correct file duh

 

you guys should have read my post B4.I know how to ftp and i no all about the dhcp and static but the thing is i tried those already but none worked so i went back to static but still didnt work so then i removed the softmod but i still cant get on live.i can however,ftp and use xbc.

 

If you can still FTP then you didn't uninstall your softmod. If you can't FTP and you are properly configured, going through a router, etc. then it's user error. You have to be doing something wrong...something like you aren't connected to the same network as the Xbox.

The only thing I can think of is if you are using Evox...I believe a lot of people are having troubles with Evox and FTP'ing...if thats the case, try a different dash and try to connect.

 

no see what it turned out to be was i hadnt chose the option to restart the network

 

first i would like to say sorry i couldnt go to this thread my internet contract was up so i bearly got new internet, im going to answer a long post regardless if this info being old or useless by this ponit , where here goes anyways

hey thanks maxo23 for helping jrizzy same with you knockemv2 for answering the question to skyline36 regarding the time and date issue , as long as the user can set the correct time and date and quickly turn off xbox and turn back on the xbox should load the proper hacked dash from then , this time/date issue will happen if you leave your xbox unpluged 3+ hrs, and sid 4 is better then krazzie mod cuz its scripted to better protect your system from people who dont know what they are doing or messing with a file they shouldnt be.


as for deathfire , nooblit , try messing with the static/dhcp settings and toggle the auto / maneuel set up for the ip it works it just takes time , make sure to save settings.

MSdashPLZ , well if you installed sid 3 and uninstalled it properly and then tried installing sid 4 and all it ask is for a newer ms dash then your good just get it updated , however if you didnt properly back up / restored settings on sid 3 to leave xbox back to original state the sid 4 wont allow you to install it until it has a clean install files (dont sweat it its very easy fixable)

madmodz make a new thread sorry ,

azzidrain thanks for droping by and could use a bit of help here bud

 

hey guys, to update the dash board you have to use a newer game like Halo2 which came out Nov. 2004, but can i use nfl 2k5 to update it Jul. 2004? thanks again guys

 

if you have a softmod already active the best thing is just to run aid 3 and hit unisntall softmod and install ms dash BEFORE restarting. xbox should load with latest ms dash then from there you just do a re softmod and there you go latest ms dash , you can also ftp the dash to your current ms dash , and if your xbox is NOT modded
you can try putting the latlest games see if it updates it ,

 

hi i used aid v3 delux to install the softmod and dash on dualboot but wen i power on the xbox with the dvd tray out (with the eject button) i just get a blank screen but with the power button unleashx works i want this to work i never had xbl and i can across a 12month trial the other day so i wanna give it ago please and some1 give me a hand with this i wud b very thankful thanks alot jsm

 

Are you sure you chose dual boot msdash open?

 

yes i have done it again on a diffrent xbox and the same thing happends

 

Well, this thread is for SID and I've never softmodded with AID so I don't know if there is a bug in it. Make sure you have the most current AID if anything.

 

you cannot do this wiih sid3 only sid 4 just to let you know , but on aid3 which one you chooose? if you chooosen sid 4 then the proper one should of been dualboot=retail closed= ux

NOW to fix the blank screen *r u using reg a/v cables or componets?* try reg a/v cables try uninstalling and reinstalling from the sid 4 link directly AFTER you uninstalled everything and the xbox LOADS normally delete the saves and put new ones ..... could be your game could be your memcard just currpting the files....

 

i got it it works great ecept when i try and boot my backup of halo2 thru the ms dashboard and before unleashx woudnt boot xbmc would boot first so i changed unleashx to my default that works great but what about the games not loading thru ms can you help me?

 

Azzid, I noticed that you included some Halo 2 modding tuts. By any chance are you a great H2 modder yourself? I've been trying to google Bipe swaps but so far have been unsuccessful. I'd appreciate your help
