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

i have my xbox modded so i can play in custom games and got banned from matchmaking with that account. i have another account on my 360 but how can i tranfer it to my regular xbox so i can play matchmaking on my reg. box?

 

.call 1800-4my-xbox they should switch it back!

 

switch what back?

 

your 360 gamertag to reg xbox

 

When i play online in matchmaking, what is the easiest way to get me host w/out me bridging?

 

there is no way to guarentee host w.o bridging but there are two ways that I know of to help.

1. Get host boxes - this means that you made the GAME, you are not joining someone elses. You can tell you have host boxes when there are no yellow "Matched Player" boxes when it goes into the finding players step. Also, be the one that made the party, not just party leader, when you went into matchmaking.
2. Pull out your mic before game starts, not sure if it works ive just heard about it.

Hope That helps

 

for all them people who get a black screen with a orange light it may be because you are using a platium version of teh game they fix the error in the game to install the softmod in these and also in the classics to (if the made em that) as well if ya got the normal 1(non platium nor classic) then it may be the ar card hope this helps ya out

 

i already posted that...

 

@ ftpxhalo

did you get a ms mem card to try it and was you useing the platium version of them games try and tell use if it worked or dint

 

multipost and email address removed

 

somebody help me! I get the black and white screen and have a PAL xbox. What should I do?

 

did you softmod ur xbox using sid kinave?
if so did you choose the PAL file to drag to the mem card?
if not then you probably used the NTSC file uninstall softmod then redo with PAL file!

this should fix prob!

 

yes I did use the PAL version. I read above that no matter what you do it will be black and white on all PAL consoles. Would a scart lead make it colour? Also, the light on the xbox comes out red/orange colour

 

well mine does to that allways happens with the light.
if it always says that pal comes out black and white then leave it be!

 

i need help i tried to install the Sid 4.0 and went through all ur instructions adnd then tried to go onto xboxlive when it said no connection so i went to trouble shooting and then my xbox froze.
so i turned it off then went to memory and sundenly the whol xbox dash board changed and looked like a pc now so i freaked out and went to the memory and deleted the installer splintercell and ultamate x and then turned off my xbox .
then this morning i went on and everything i deleted EXCEPT ultamate x was deleatedcan u plz help me get rid of ultamate x and my xbox bactk to normal otherwise im just going to call microsoft and have them compleatly reset my whole xbox and i realy dont want to erase every bit of memory so plz help me solve this problem cuz i cant even play any games on my xbox or xboxlive

 

@DOGSNIPER

ok the thing is that the dash is gonna look completely diff. trust me ok?

second my first time i freaked out to i was so scared i also deleted my filez and the unleash would not go away! but if you want it off you need to put the filez back on the mem. card and go to [bold]file explorer[/bold] on your dash and and after that click backup there should be somthing else to click after that it says MS click it and go to ms dash at the bottom.

this will bring you to the original xbox dash!
then you copy the filez back to your hdd
put mechassault, splinter cell ect. in and load up the modding screen.

if you want to take off the softmodded dash you need to click uninstall softmod this will take it off!

[bold]THIS IS FOR LIVE WITH SOFTMOD![/bold]

and if you wanted to get on live with the new dash you put on (softmodded) then you need to change ur ip to DHCP!

then save your settings and turnn off xbox, then hit the eject button to power on NOTE: the eject button (BIG ONE)

then put your game in pretty fast while the black screen and the green x are still on! push it in the game will load and then you can get on live!

tell me if you need any help!

 

thx so much i will try wat u said and ill tell u if it worked

 

have all issues been solved???? im gus738 from http://www.xbox-hq.com/html my bud nknave made this softmod along with with another one ...... so if any futher questions are needed i can explained detailed as i know how it works and this and that.... as for the guy made this tut ... no ofense but maybe you should get more details before lauching something.. althou this is very good so props but on this step

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.

Step 10: This is another essential step! Go to 'CREATE EEPROM BACKUP'. If you do not do this step, the installer will NOT let you move on. After you click that, a new menu will come up. In that menu, click 'CREATE EEPROM BACKUP'. When that is done, click 'BACK TO MAIN MENU'.


if you do not do CREATE MS BACKUP OR EEPROM BACKUP the mod will not pass requirements and cannot softmod ...

for a dual boot options is required the latest ms dash 5960 as for single boot it is NOT require to have the latest ms dash.....

you can update the dash by putting a newer game or by softmoding it single boot then run aid 3 ( dont ask about slayers its gone and its gone !) and install ms dash 5960 as primary dash or e/backup/ms and then you can uninstall it normaly by loading linux and re softmoding this time dual boot .....

sid 4.0 and sid 4.5 are ver much alike only side difresenes are : 4.0 became buggy for pal users and the ms dash would load up but not all options were avilble ... and the eeprom was patch so for say it wouldnt allow you to run a program that can unlock your hd and create a brick xbox ....

4.5 was removed of the eeprom patch as this was causing the errors /glitches althou these both sid 4.0 and 4.5 are the safest softmods out their to date , i would recommend 4.0 for users that do not play xbox live or are very nooob to this....

also 4.5 will load up xbox live section of the ms dash as where 4.0 loods the main dash but not all options are avabile.....

if you get no connection or somting similir on 4.5 then its because you have it unpluged to the net acess or no gamertags are found ...

again any questions feel free to ask on this thread plz do NOT pm me i will answer all questions here..... and if i miss any problems plz ask me again thx gus738


oh and on 4.5 if you wanna acess ms dash to change settings or somting then just run the ms dash via modded mode. red means softmod is active green means its safe for live

ADDED: i thought i added a few more things..... both of the 2 files game save exploit + the linux installer have to be ziped . and if you run into error 21 when you try to run linux then that means you missing 1 of the 2 files needed to softmod

if you guys wipe out your 2 files and cannot run anything then hotswap will fix it all

fianly if you think you really need more help or wanna know all their is to xbox modding then go to http://www.xbox-hq.com/html and we will better assist you as that is where all this stuff is about

this softmod will do it all the xbox ver from 1.0 to 1.6 b or anything newer. it will do every xbox their is

 

i cant find that back up thing all i c in file explorer is c d e i x y z on 2 sides of the screen
