Softmodding an Xbox Tutorial

When ever you get your mods how do you turn them on and off? Or is it just the level determains wether or not your mods are on or off.

 

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. (i think i installed ude2 when i shuda used 1....stupid eh?).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

 

@Biggjake - you cannot turn them off

@cybershot - rerun the installer if you can boot one of the games...other than that, there's nothing I can tell you except you should've followed directions. If you want, you can check this site www.modspecialists.50megs.com and they should be able to fix it for a fee...

 

I saw that there are two distros for Splinter Cell, NTSC and PAL. Does it matter which I use? If so, how do I determine which one?

EDIT: Nevermind, I read the definitions and chose NTSC. If I chose wrong, please say so.

 

that is i think the correct one...... all of u who are modding for xbox live are very stupid.... the auto updates have come out and more are coming to get rid of soft modders.... no longer do those mod protector programs work....if you have a save on your xbox that contains a virus or any sort of mischief you will be banned from matchmaking and maybe even xbox live

 

Sorry to post again but no one seemed to have answered my last question. How do I install ude1 or whatever. My xbox boots to the microsoft dash so i know im not modded. But i dont seem to have any options to install as far as i can tell can someone give me an exact run through, file to file of what to do. Like tell me exactly what to click. My question is on page 13 if you need to see it. Its a long one but not too long

 

Phathod, just follow Jon's tutorial from start to finish. I think you may have problems getting to the screen where it asks you if you want to install linux, pick your dashboard, etc.

If so, simply download the save from xbins (my tutorial in General Discussion) put it on to your XBOX by transferring it with Action Replay, boot up SC and load the save.

If you are seeing garbled text, weird screens, and your XBOX is flashing different colors, it's normal. You will soon get to the screen where you install everything.

 

@jon- ok, my bad for calling you out like that, iknow you dont have to help any of these peaple asking for it but you do, which people should be thankful for.

also my xbox does not play games it freezes at the xbox logo screen. its becouse on mechassault i chose the powersave restore dash.

@slith- no, it wasent to use hacks on halo 2 or any other xbl game. i am not a quote "little n00bler" on any game i play { mostly halo 2 } and i can probly woop on most of the people who wants to challeng me.

 

Hey. thanx for the tutorial but im having trouble. I have done everything right so far until i got to the part where you say to go download Itools from xbin or something? well i was reading what you had said to someone else about going to mIRC and I did all of that, I typed in what you told me and then i got to the end where they give you their website and they also give you a nickname and a password but the problem is that when i went to their site to put in the name and password to get the Itools, the screen went white and said that this site could not be opened for some reason. Im still trying to get on but i cant. If i counld get on to that site and get the download for Itools i'd be home-free because i read ahead in ur tut and it looks like as soon as i get that download im able to start modding. So if you could help me with this that would be awesome. THANX!

P.S. I also went to another tut to see if it was any different and he said all i need to do is download the linux file then go on my mechassault to campain and run linux from there. Thanx and try to get back soon because im going to break my XBOX!!! {said with anger}!

 

ok thank i will try using a different memory card

Check out my tutorial. It is very straightforward and easy to use. For those that read more than the first two sentences, it is not a Softmodding an Xbox Tutorial. Very simply put, it is how to access and download from xbins.

Jake, you have to have an FTP program. Might I reccommend SmartFTP, since that is what my tutorial uses.

 

hey can somebody help me i have mechassault but don't know what version is it because i bought used at game store it has old papers like showing shenmue 2 blinx the time sweeper nba 2003 can somebody tell me is this the new version of mechassault or the old one thanks

 

What does a Linux Installer do? I was cruesing through my action replay looking at stuff and i saw that at the top and wanted to know what it was good for or used for?

PS. Im still stuck at i need to downgrade to dash 1420 or something like that or upgrade to some file with .xbe at the end. Need Help still.

@ Jon - I did what you told me too do got a game got the content downloaded off of it and then i put in 007 and triing to modded the xbox but still had the same problem.

Ok i feel like an idiot asking this question even though u might have answered it im just not sure if this is supposed to happen:

When u get the screen that is black and has green words in chinese and such do u wait for ur light to stop flashing green and red and change to only green flashing or did i screw up?

Pls answer i have been looking for the answer to this for about 2 weeks now

 

wizard depending on wat number customer service screen u have....u may have fucked up just like i did....bummer

 

its 21 and i can still play games so im still alright

 

but still i need to know what to look for pls

 

@Wizard

Go back to the game you were using to install the softmod and load the save again, if you can in fact still play games. The garbled text and other stuff is supposed to happen, just leave your XBOX alone for awhile, and soon the new screen should come up.

 

ok thanx if i have ne more problems ill post here (i shouldnt have ne more though)

 

i had error 13....is that fixable?
