I got the exact same problem! i'manidiot.com edited by ddp is my msn adress.. add me there would you? Would love to get som help if you guys have found it. And if i find it first i´ll share? Damn me for being curious!!! oh how much i regret unlocking it! i had the softmodded xbox not even 24 hours before i unlocked it.. *lol*
yea ill definitely let you know if I find anything out, man. ive posted in a couple forums but nothing good yet.
No I dont have experiences with Xboxhdm. But I know it can lock the hdd in softmod for sure. For more instruction, you have to read the tutorial. I have 1 on my page, just follow the link in my sig.
yea seriously i just fixed my xbox. xboxhdm is the way to go. the tutorial that helped the most was xboxhdm for dummies at xbox-scene. first off if you didnt back up ur shit then ur screwed, what i mean by that is when ur in evox or slayers and u choose the selection backup C:/eeprom or whatever it says. thats where i got confused, people would ask if i backed up my stuff, i just didnt know how. I backed my stuff up not even knowing what it did, it only takes like 5 seconds. so if ur hdd is backed up and unlocked, you can simply: 1) download xboxhdm(from xbox-scene is where i got it) 2} make the cd image like the tutorial says to(xboxhdm for dummies) 3} put the cd in your cdrom and turn off your pc...you have to boot your pc from the xboxhdm cd...(you may have to change your boot procedure from bios) 4) unplug your pc's hd 5} disconnect your xbox hd from your xbox and connect it to your pc as Master 6} turn your pc on, make sure it boots from the cd. 7) when the xboxhdm screen comes up, choose 1, after that loads, type xbrowser to look for your backup file. mine was under E:bios/backup, but others may be different. you kinda have to search for a while. 8} when you find the text file, push F3 to view and write down your hddkey and the password and everything. 9} reboot 10) on the xboxhdm screen push 4, after that loads, type lockhd or hdlock(not sure which one) 11) it will ask you to put in a password. this is where you type in your hddkey. you dont have to put in the extra zeros at the end nor do you have to put in the colons 12) after that it's done and you simply turn your pc off, put your original xbox hd back in ur xbox and ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Punk you did it! Thanks for this. I got the backup files from the guy that got me the xbox so i should be able to pull it off now. Thanks
Note to all if u do fix it with xboxhdm make sure u back up your eeprom and hdd key and also your C and E Files on your HD incase anything bad happens....also if xboxhdm dont work for becuz u dont have your eeprom you will have to try an hotswap method go here to learn how to do that http://teammodders.com/viewtopic.php?t=91&sid=0b22fd0143bb51312502475f2c4dfa81
