Softmodding an Xbox Tutorial

because it wasnt the original

 

hey i used the splinter cell to softmod my xbox, it worked once but i mustve clicked something i wasnt suposed to and know i get an error message 13. now from my understanding i need a new HD. or is there a way to "format" this one but keep the main files. ive seen some HDD upgrading tutorials and in the process u must put in the new hardrive and use the special evox.ini to format it. before doing the format it said u need to back up ur original C+E drives so u can replace it in the new HDD. do i need the folders only to have wat was on my original xbox HDD to put on the new one? the reason i want to know this is that mayb i can do the formating with that file and fix my current xbox HDD. any response would be great

 

Hey. Ive been following this thread unregistered for awhile but now I need help from anyone on this site. I have been trying for about 1 week to softmod and im only at the part where you open linux. I used splinter cell to open it and have the evolutionX dashboard open. I finally found out how to back up but, I cannot find out how to install uxe or whatever i need. I have V 1.0 xbox. I have my Ip to HDCP but thats all. Does anyone who used splinter cell know how to install this??? I tried going to Launch DVD but only got an error screen telling me I need to have my box serviced. I tried Ms Dashboard but it also did not work. Can someone Help me. Need a reply as soon as anyone available can help. Thank you guys sooo much. You've got me farther than anyother tut!

 

Actually I should have been more clear. I do not know how to access the area to install the uxe stuff. Thanks

 

well im still stuck at ude install and i went to smart ftp and downloaded some stuff but when i tried to put them on my xbox it said it is not an xbox save any one know how to get those files on?

ps. @ Jon you said that you will get banned if you try to get on XBL with a modded xbox. Then how do people get on live and mod in Halo 2?

 

@BiggJake

You can get banned by using a modded XBOX on XBL. Microsoft and Bungie take a peek into your little machine once your connected to make sure you're "clean". Sometimes, the users who are ahcking get reported. Other times, they just get banned when Bill Gates' unSigned Code Sense tingles.

@Phathod

If you are trying to access the area to install all of the UDE stuff, (if you are in fact using Jon's tutorial) you simply need to download the corresponding game save from xbins, transfer it to your XBOX and load the save on your game.

 

pls look up.

 

i really apreciate the help you guys gave me from the question on page 6.Thanx

 

oh wait, i dident get any, so fusk you jon, and fusk all you fuckups in in this peace of shit thread/ tutorial.

 

ive been asking the same question over and over since page 3. Ive waited almost three weeks now.

 

@Phathod - If you have Evolution X dashboard on your Xbox when you boot it up, YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE MODIFICATION, there is no need to do anything further. The "Launch DVD" button will not work until you download a DVD program to direct the exe to, such as DVDX2...

@Biggjake - Slith is correct, people DO have modded Xboxes and still go on Xbox Live, but the fact of the matter is (especially right now regarding Halo 2 cheating) Xbox Live is going at these people VERY HARD right now, looking left and right for any cheaters or people using hacks, and banning them asap. I myself have reported a few hackers on Xbox Live, that I've seen while playing with a friend of mine. Speaking of which, if any of you see any hackers or cheaters on Xbox Live, get their gamertag and report them at the following link: http://halomods.com

@Chasecb - Yo dude, you need to calm down...do you NOT see the amount of questions and shit on this thread that I've had to answer BY MYSELF until Slith came along? If you can boot an Xbox game, just boot up Mechassault or whatever game you used, and re-run the installer. AND MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE PROPER SETTINGS FOR YOUR XBOX. If you have a 1.0 - 1.5 Xbox, select UDE1, then follow the rest of the settings I said to pick in my tutorial....improper settings is probably the reason your Xbox won't boot properly....follow directions next time and maybe you won't come on here launching into a tirade sounding like an idiot...

 

u no u said that the mech assult disc u needed should have a certain number on it do u no the number if i wanted 2 use splinter cell or is it the same

 

No I don't know the number for Splinter Cell...I use Mechassault everytime I mod an Xbox because it's the easiest of the 3 games to use....i've NEVER used Splinter Cell or 007....

 

@chasecb

So what do you do? After three weeks of waiting, you bitch a bit and don't even post your question.

If you were trying to make a point (which didn't work out very well) then at least post your question so that either jon or I can find it out of our hearts to answer you.

The reason jon didn't answer you chase, is because you probably quadruple posted everywhere, and you probably threatened him as well. If you would've approached him say, like MrWoot up there, you probably would've gotten an answer. Some of the posts here are just wastes of time.

But Chase, if you really want your question answered, just post it. I'm a n00bler to the XBOX Softmodding scene, but I'm doing the Hell of a great job. I'll try and help you.

@jon

No problem for answering the questions dude. After reading your tutorial, I got all into XBOX modding and softmodding alike.

@chaz1

If you want to use Splinter Cell to softmod, just try the regular version. Do not use the platinum version as it is likely patched. Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you.

 

I just bought sc and i am going to try to mod my xbox with it.

 

@chase

I've looked up your question. It was actually on page 7, mind you.

Chase, when you loaded the save and everything after already softmodding, it might've screwed it up. Don't know how, don't know why.

If you were only using the softmod to get hacks and play on an XBL game because you were a little n00bler, then there is no more help for you.

 

Well I dont think it's modded, Because I can only get to the evolutionX dashboard if I load up splinter cell and select it.Does domeone think they could try to open splinter cell with their xbox and see what to do. My xbox always boots up to the Microsoft Dash.

Once I boot up splinter cell I have these few options.

Launch DvD-Gives error msg and forces me to restart

Trainers--is blank

MS Dashboard-Gives me an error msg and I have to restart

Reboot--does what it says

Power off-- does what it says

System Utils--Has settings, flash bios, backup, and skins. Ive backed up already

Launch Menu--is blank

 

Hey i need to know something was suspended for a week from xbox live then they said thell ban anyone with ppfs what do i do to take ppf out what everthat is?

 

i got to the part where you load linux off of mechassault. i checked the etching. according to you tutorial i have the right one but it says unable to load linux.


I also checked the kernel it is 1.00.510101

 

@Heretic1 - HAHAHA Now does everyone see what I was saying? A PERFECT EXAMPLE of what I was trying to tell all of you hacking cheaters about modding your Xbox to install cheats...now Heretic1 who has done just that, will be banned from XBL very soon. I told him not to do it, but did he listen??? NOOOOOOOOO....hard luck dude!

@akumabito - sounds like a corrupted gamesave. Try using a different memory card with the Action Replay...
