i softmodded my xbox using SID installer and i read that u have to back up eeprom well that softmod diddnt have it so i didnt no wat i was doing and i formatted the whole xbox i tryed hotswapping but it didnt read the HDD
You should look around for XBOXHDM. With this app you can quickly rebuild a HDD from existing C and E drive files. As long as you can still boot up a game and play, I would look into using a softmod thru 007 or splintercell, and install a new dash, and obtain the eeprom file you need.
to use XboxHDM you need the eeprom to unlock the HD...without you cant use HDM...the only thing for you to do is try to hotswap and use xboxHDM to rebuild the drive or buy a modchip...
ok if i buy a mod chip where can i get 1 and i tryed hotswapping but it wont read the HDD it mite b bcuz the ms logo isnt under the x when i boot up myxbox
Ok I seem to be having the same problem... I just recently softmodded my hdd but lost my backup... Ok somehow my hdd became unlocked... now the xbox cant unlock the hdd becuase its not locked and I dont have the original backup to fine the eeprom password for my hdd... is there anyway to fix this without having to buy a modchip?
unplug ur IDE cables and reset them, if no go, u need modchip, if u lose ur eeprom or never retreived one, u pretty much will always need a mod chip
well mod chip is ganna be my last option... if you know anyone who knows anything close to fixing it let me know... because I dont feel like fusking around with a mod chip.. I know theres a way to fix this...
And how would unplugging my ide cabels solve my problem... Its not like receting them will lock back my hdd.... If it was that easy I would of done it a long time ago... I pretty sure that wont fix my problem
there is no other way unless you buy a modchip,thats why people say back-up the eeprom to your PC.....
Yea well I hate to disagree... But I am and a modchip is not my last option... me and a Friend just mad an eeprom reader and found my key.... so there I win!
like i said without an eeprom, you cant fix it i didnt say anything about creating a eeprom reader to get your eeprom...what are you going to use to lock the HD back,XboxHDM should work perfect? and if you listened to the people and read the tutorials none of this would have happened because you would have backed your eeprom up in the first place....
Yea I did make a backup but my dumbass firend deleted it becase it was taking to much space on his computer he said.. see i put it on his becuase my crashed but the dumbass deleted it and i was screwed....so whatever now i know the password i dont need the backup so... Ill make another incase
