Need help With Getting Ms Dashboard Back

Ok i have the default settings for the xbox so i am just going to save all of the xbox drives to my computer then delete the one on my xbox then put the default settings in. If that does not work then i will get that chip that you told me to get.

OK so now i deleted all of the files and then put the default settings in but now when i turn it on i dont even have a dashboard just an error 13 message.

 

I cant ftp now either so i need a solderless modchip any ideas

 

Will i even be able to use a mod chip sense i dont even have a dashboard.

 

Hey, I have the same problem, I tried installing onto a crystal xbox with an older version, I get Error 13 on boot. And when I try to use the Slayer 2.6 CD I get error 14.

I was thinking, should I disconnect the hard drive and then boot tyhrough the Slayer disk? then reconnect it once working? [Or is that a major safety risk lol]

 

DJ...did you happen to get a file called eeprom.bin in your drive backup?? If you did post back and I'll tell you what you need to do next.

Fairz..What have you deleted to get into this situation..your way out is a hotswap if you can't get anything to boot in the dvd drive..follow the link a few posts back

 

Yes i do have that file.

 

@djnorton
did you download the Softmod file 325MB? If not, download it. Extract it. You will have E and C folder.

Then do the hotswap again. Delete everything in partition 0-4.

Then copy everything inside of C folder (above) to parttion 3.
Then copy everything inside of E folder (above) to parttion 4.

Done.

This should work.

 

I dont understand how to do the hotswap i read that tut. but i dont no what it is talking about. if you could explain it to me then i will try it.

 

@janrocks
i do have that file what do i do next.

I told you that i dont no how to hotswap and i have already read that.

 

Thanks for all of the help you guys but i just whent and got a 360 later

 

Yo..DJ.. it's really straightforward itf you have the eeprom file..go and get XBOXHDM and read all the instructions...dead easy to repair the box then..and If you do a restore to factory you can sell it or trade it or whatever..

 

ok i will try it because if i mess it up then i dont care

 

do i have top havethe xbox hoocked up to my computer to make a new hd.

 

i recently softmodded my xbox. I accidently deleted all of my game saves to halo 2. Even map packs, and my gamertag. I went back to Halo 2 and remade my gamertag, and put in my password when i pressed a for xbox live. It gave me two choices, either gee updat, or continue offline. How can i log on and play halo2 on xbox live.

 

just get the update then go to xbox live then go to content download then there is all of the maps.
