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

If your asking me than the answer is no, there is no error code, just a black screen and the orange light on the big xbox button. I just want to mod already! Is there any chance that my xbox is too old? i got it a long time ago. (near when it came out)

 

Hi all,
Quick question:

I have a xbox with a 80Gb HD(softmodded by a friend) and I want to upgrade the HD to 120Gb.

Is there a tutorial that shows how to do this? All the ones that I find are showing how to mod a xbox, but none show how to just upgrade the HD.

Is it complicated???

Thanks!

 

if you got the hd with xbox files on it already, i.e. bought it from a site that sells modchips and not a computer store, then it is really easy. But if you bought one from a computer store its a little more complicated.

 

Is there such a thing as an Evolution X boot CD; my son has killed the xbox and it only boots into Xbox live dashboard now. Any advice on how to fix it and restore the Evolution X dashboard and contents

 

Yeah, there is a thing called a evox boot disc, but you have to make it yourself. Im guessing that you softmodded your xbox since this thread is about softmodding. So, a evox boot disc wouldn't do you any good. If you want evox back you have to uninstall the softmod and reinstall the softmod and you should get your evox dash by doing that. If you hardmodded you xbox with a chip you can use the evox dash, here is a link to how to make one. http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/xbox_evolution_x.cfm

azzidrain/The Return:
Thanks for all your help-read all the advice of The Return and followed azzidrain's tutorial in detail using Splinter Cell as well as countless guides and forums on other web-sites. Was ready to throw everything out Sunday after buying AR and not being able to get it working properly on 3 different computers. Decided to return it when it would not even save from the xbox directly. I can't believe that I actually got a bad AR-exchanged for a new one today which was finally recognized in XP (15 seconds-as Datel Memory device) and now, finally the silly "light" stays on for longer than 2 seconds and I could now easily move files to the AR and to the memory card. Doing a hot swap was next-have a couple of old P3's lying around and many smaller hard-drives-never opened an Xbox-but have put computers together so was not afraid to try it. Anyway-did the softmod in 15 minutes without any problems once I had a properly, working AR. My biggest problem was not even knowing how to save or copy to the hard-Xbox HD by using the controller. Got hooked after my 5 year grandson taught me how to use his Xbox-but he didn't tell me what a bloody D-pad was-anyway, I bought my own used Xbox-always wanted to learn Linux anyway and my wife would kill me if she knew I bought an Xbox-a new computer is different. Tomorrow I'll attach a keyboard and mouse and show her my new computer. I had initially made my own USB to Xbox connector with a used controller and USB cable connected to a 32mb USB micro drive (linux compatibility list). The Xbox found it okay but then kept erasing it-now I think it was just my stupidity in not knowing the Xbox control functions-it seems to be functioning properly and reads several memory sticks. Maybe I can help other newbie's get their xboxes working with linux?

Now I intend to connect the xbox to another computer and then install a 200gb hard-drive which should not be as difficult as the initial soft mod.
Thanks again!

Someone told me that the booting to a black screen means that your action replay memory card corrupted the save. supposively i should get a microsoft one for it to work better. So if you wondered why that happens, there you go.

 

i did ever thing that it siad to do but there is no UnleashX dash. it said something about xbox live update and has the xbox dash still and plays backups. any clue?

 

i tried wut u said to do to get on xbl but still did not work. i was wondering if anybody can held me get on xbox live.

 

I have the UNLEASH X dashboard on my XBOX. I accidentally deleted the new Halo 2 maps and I want to get them back on my XBOX. How do I do this?

 

You are going to have to put in halo2 and sign into live and reinstall the map packs

 

@tocool4u
thanks. now that i got my maps, i know how to mod them but i would like to get the mods from the best site(s). Could you tell me the best site for getting the modded map files from?

 

Step 9: This is a KEY step! Now that the installer has loaded, go to 'CREATE MS BACKUP'. This is incase you want to unmod your Xbox for any reason/technical reason.
... THE SOFTMOD INSTALLER WONT LET YOU INSTALL THE SOFTMOD AS WELL IF U DONT DO THIS .... SO THE PROPER THING TO DO TO INSTALL SOFTMOD IS create MS BACKUP create EEPROM BACKUP... then it will let you pass requirements... from : NKNAVE AND GUS738

 

DO NOT USE THIS MOD IF YOU HAVE A PAL XBOX

Krayzie's Ndure softmod installer will do you just fine. Even if you select the PAL options, the SID mod will leave you with a NTSC dashboard, and you'll have to uninstall if you do not have a compatible TV.

Just a word of warning.

 

@sk8pnk666

you have to find hacked map filez and patch them to the original maps.

you need:

1.ppf-omatic

2.ppf's(pre patched filez)

you need to use ppf omatic to apply patches to original maps!

you also need to have you xbox ftp to ur comp. then you go to your xbox folders on your ftp and click e: then tdata then you will see original maps you copy the ones you ppf'd then rewrite the maps!

 

for the softmodders deluxe pic what game did u use to get that?
splinter cell? mechassault?

 

what is delux pic?

 

Hi there, after fixing a friends softmodded xbox,it kept saying it was updating from live but live wasn't responding. I've found that the ms backup has been modded so sid4 can't be put on it.
As his xbox still boots games with no dash(error 13 when booted no game), would using a live game reinstall the dash to then make an original backup work.
If not can I ftp my ms backup onto it to create an original backup or delete files from his modded backup to do the same.
I'm obviosly being cautious as I don't want to mess it up after getting it up and running.
Thanks.
