The Ultimate Softmodding an XBOX Tutorial Thread

Bang! it finally worked...!! i let it run one more time... this time 1.7.5... it screwed up... then i reloaded 1.8 and left it on for a day, i mean 24 hours..... then this morning when i checked it.. its still on the blue/green screen... but when i reset it... THERE IT IS!

anyone have a manual on the evox OS? and how do you transplant your games to that lil xbox hd?

 

glad to have helped you out man... i know it gets discorageing to see it like that it would help if they put a loading screen lol

 

also there are verious ways to transport your games to the xbox hd but since the stock hd is quite small i sugest clearing of all excess stuff also you need an ftp program

now that you have an ftp proram look on your xbox for an ip adress should look something like 1.88.77.66 ect. i think in evox it is in low left hand corner if not check the system info

well on the ftp program on your computer type xbox for pass xbox for user and go to the network next to it that says site or destination or whatever then type the ip of the xbox now boot whatever game you want while the xbox is in the evox screen it shouldnt run

go to the d; drive and that should be the current game loaded on it
now copy all those files to your computer

now go to the e:drive and create a folder called games then in the games folder put the name of the game you want to use

then copy all the files from your computer to the xbox

(if useing halo 2 you can save room by going into the maps folder and deleting the maps with numbers in front of them, those are single player<or you could do visa versa

either way it should soon be on their now go on the file explorer and go to e drive and go to games then ?????(your game name) and open that then find the .xbe file in their and run it

after you do this the first time it should remmeber the games destinantion unless you did not save it right and should list it in the games menu

all of this is assuming evox is like my unleash x wich rules but they should be very similar from what i know so try to follow that as closly as possible

there should also be a download called dvd2xbox you will need to use this by ftping it to the apps folder in your e:drive you create and use the same method to run it by useing the .xbe file and it should stay listed under apps this will auto burn games to drive if you want(although they will have a hefty memory tag)

i hope this all helps you further if not try how2xbox.com

 

Thanks!! that really helped me out. i havent found time to get ftp'ing yet... maybe tonite. i might have to get a bigger hard drive, but i'll read on and see what they have for it. Kinda dont wanna void my warranty. too bad there isnt anyone working on an external drive drivers yet for the dashes.

i just got done downloading dvd2xbox and the Media center. Hope it all goes well. what program did you use read xiso's from your xbox? Craxtion seems to be a lil buggy for me.

 

for doing xISOs:

1 establish a FTP connection with your XBOX
2 put in your game of choice that you would like to burn
3 under the drives in your FTP window, select D: and you should see all of the game files i.e. default.xbe media etc.
4 transfer all of those files to a folder
5 download Qwix and open it, go to create iso, and choose "local directory"
6 locate your directory with all of your files in it, choose it, and select OK
7 click make ISO
8 make an output file name
9 let it make the xISO!

for burning, i would use any of your ISO burning tools to burn it to a dvd. might i suggest DVD Decrypter.

 

So I softmodded my xbox with no problems. I want to go and upgrade my Hd to a 250 GB. I was looking at this Segate Baraccuda, found it for a CHEEP ASS PRICE like 69.99 or something like that. I want to know if there are any perticular HDs that have had problems with locking them or a list of compatable ones or something like that... Thanks guys

 

ok i finished modding my xbox, turn out to my memcard it was bad or something. now i am having a small problem. Hunkre said something about a program called dvd2xbox. 1. where can i get this file and 2. how do i install it onto the xbox. I thought i found it once but when i put it in the apps folder i couldn't find it anywhere on my xbox! if someone could help me it'll be very appriciated! THXS

 

well where you can find it at is in the usual places(xbins) i am banned from there so not allowed to post websites so i will send you a personal reply to you but just so everyone can see i believe all you do is ftp it put it in apps folder then go to file explorer and select the apps that you put it in and select the .xbe file in there that should pretty much do it

 

why did u get banned?

 

Can I get around using an AR if I already have a hard modded xbox and want to softmod my other box by ftping the save file to the hard drive and then copying it to a memory card? I would think it would work but I just need to know before I do anything rash

 

#1 i got banned by accident(idownloaded to many files)
#2 you must use the softmod exploit unless you plan on unlocking the drive you have then saveing those files within it the relocking the drive but other then that you cant save the exploit to your memory card

 

sorry ive been gone guys! mom's in the hospital.

@MyRobot

im not exactly sure where the APPS folder goes, but you have to create on. probably on the E:/ drive. if EvoX doesnt recgonize it, just go ahead and stick it in with Games. it doesnt hurt.

 

The BEst program to softmod with is AID you download it burn iso to a dick and it does the rest. It takes less then 5 minutes

 

sorry to hear about your mom xSModder.

I recently softmodded my xbox using Splinter Cell following the tutorial at techfreaks.org/articles/modxbox.shtml (and installed a 250gig drive using the modxbox2.shtml tutorial). All went well with the exception of my xbox only seeing 137 gig. I'm guessing that all I should need to do is upgrade the bios, right? I want to make sure that flashing the bios with a softmodded xbox isn't going to completely hose the xbox. If that isn't all/what I need to do, is there something else I can do to get it to see the remaining space on the drive?

Thanks in advance ...

Oh, also, if I do need to upgrade the bios, can anyone recommend which bios I should use (as well as recommend a utility to flash it)? The xbox I'm using is a v1.6B and I'm using the Evolution X dashboard, if that helps.
