    Ok well... I tried a method which didn't SEEM to work, where you have your PC and Xbox connecting to each other, Does ANYONE know how, I can mod without using the Spilinter cell, Mechassualt, and James Bond method? I would [Bold]APPRICATE[/bold] it if someone did help me.

    theres a thing called king roachs installer. you can get it at the usual places and it explains everything in the readme file. the only thing you have to do is hotswap and then load the files onto your hardrive. if you have any more questions about it id be glad to help.

    yes it tells you how to softmod your xbox. you can create either a basic setup which only has a modded dashboard or a retail setup that has both a modded dashboard and the retail xbox dashboard. you need mirc, flashfxp, and xplorer360 to do the softmod.

    ok dude, the only way i know how to sm ur xbox is via action replay device. You can make it yourself the hard way, or you can buy it the easy way. Get one and go to se7ensins.com, use the premium tutorial and mirror 1 to download the file. Its damn easy, u cant ftp to mod ur xbox i think.

    You don't even need that..just xboxhdm and some files..and a hell of a lot of bravery + some knowledge for when it all goes wrong...

    Why do people have a desire to bring death to an xbox when there is a perfectly simple way to do this??

    Wanna see a way after you do a tsop flash??

    Complete Tutorial to install the Bert and Ernie Reloaded Fonts and the Phoenix Bios Loader. (With a working MS Dash)
    -------------------------------------------------

    To do this you will need a way to FTP into your XBOX, or use some other way of editing files on your XBOX hard drive.(that's what xboxhdm is for, when you see ftp think.. my xbox drive is connected to my pc with xboxhdm) Also you will have to find the downloads yourself. And always make backups of your files!!




    Step 1) Download the following items……
    a) Bert and Ernie Reloaded fonts
    b) Signed Phoenix Bios Loader 1.3
    c) A Hex editor of some sort. I used Hackman Hex Editor



    Step 2) Setting up the Fonts……
    a) FTP in into your XBOX and go to the fonts folder in the C drive.
    b) Put bert.xtf and ernie.xtf into the fonts folder.
    C) In the same folder, rename XBox Book.xtf and XBox.xtf so both of them have a .xft extension.



    Step 3) Setting up the Phoenix Bios Loader……
    a) FTP into you XBOX and go to the root of the C drive.
    b) put all the files from the Signed Phoenix Bios Loader in to the root of the C drive.


    Step 4) Setting up the MS Dashboard……
    a) FTP your xboxdash.xbe to your PC.
    b) Open it with a Hex Editor.
    c) Open up the search function, enter “xtf” as the string to search for (without the quotes). Make sure you select Unicode mode and ASCII mode.
    d) now every instance of xtf, change to xft. It will have spaces in between each letter, leave them alone.
    e) Now rename it to something like xftdash.xbe and upload it to the root of the C drive.
    f) Make a link to it in your evox.ini.
    g) Check that everything is correct before rebooting. If everything is in order, Reboot your XBOX and enjoy.


    the end result, I also installed Evolution-X and neXgen

    Thought I'd let him know what he's getting into..lol :) You think that ones tough...Try the hotswap fatx file "hex-edit on the fly" we used to do 4 years ago... :/

    I'm totally fed up with error 16 kids..What does an xbox cost... how much is an action replay and a rental game? I can buy splinter cell cheaper than I can rent it!

    oh joy sounds fun. glad i wasnt around the scene back then. however i was one of those lazy, impatient, and cheap ones who did it without the ar and game. maybe im just lucky, or maybe im just skilled :)

    OH...

    You all, had it easy, me on the other hand... bfff.
    I had to build a EEPROM reader, read the eerom in the xbox
    then make the xboxhd_v1.9 CD then goin and add the files
    to the xbox hard drive.

    Hey, right now I am wiping my xbox HDD to virgin state with nothing
    but the basic Soft Mod and Xbox M$ dash.

    This should be cool...
