uninstalling softmod became a problem

i wanted to uninstall the softmod from my xbox which i installed using splintercell "unleashX" but when i selected the remove softmod option i got an "invalid command" "unable to execute command item: action: delete" "failure" "batch process failed. the last item was action: delete" message. now here comes the problem when i turn on my xbox W/out a disc in the drive the ring of light flashes red and green and i get a message saying that "your xbox requires service" if theres a disc then it plays it just fine but its as if uninstalling the softmod deleted my MSdash. Neither dashboard loads up not the UnleashX nor the MS one but im still able to FTP into it if that helps and i have another xbox close by. if any one know of a way to fix this i would appreciate any help you can give.

 

what you need to do is download a ms dash from somewhere and ftp it to your C drive..then delete everything from your E drive only leave the TDATA and UDATA folders but delete everything in them as well then reboot and you will be good to go...

 

i have another xbox that works just fine i can install the softmod on that one so i can FTP / but wanted to know were the MSdash is located so i can make a copy of that one so that i can FTP into the other xbox...?

 

yes that would be your best bet but i would still delete everything else like i said to be on the safe side...

 

The M$ dash is in the C drive, you may find you have a few differnet files on there but the ones you are looking for will be

Audio (folder)
Fonts (folder)
xboxdashdata.(number here) (folder)
xodash (folder)
xbox book.xtf
xbox.xtf
xboxdash.xbe

If you only have them files left on your C drive and as theridges said get rid of everyting in your E drive (except the udata & tdata folders) then your box should be back to original settings.

 

if you still run into a problem delete everything in the TDATA and UDATA folders....

 

thanks for all the help guys....that fixed the problem.

 

im glad to hear it i just went through the same thing a month ago with my friends xbox....

 

thanks again man "xbox works just fine".. i have another question to ask..i have another friends who's xbox doesnt work it gets an error 16 and when it boots it doesnt not show the microsoft logo under the big "X" "xbox" logos i wanted to know if this can still be fixed and as what method should i use to get this fixed..?

 

well unless you have a modchip i know of no other way becuz you cant hotswap because the microsoft logo does not a appears modchip seems to be the only fix....

 

You will need a chip and another working modded xbox to fix this (supposedly)
I have never done this but if you read through this it will explain what you have to do.

(Just look for your error code)

 

yea i have read the fix for 16 on the error code page and have never heard of anybody doing it that way...i would just buy a solderless modchip and fix it myself...

 

well i have the other xbox that ya guys helped me fixed i can softmod that one again and try the hotswap ( that wont mess up the other xbox will it ) any advise as to what not to do when switching the HDDs or in general... and if I have to unlock,lock the HDDs cuz on other threads i read it just said switch the HDDs.

 

no because the other xbox has to me modded with a chip not softmodded....

 

that sucks oh well thanks for all the feed back any ways...

 

i deleated EVERYTHING on my xbox (was unleash x)

i didn't delete the stuff on the c drive


now when i boot my xbox, it goes to a evo x dashboard, WTF GIVES?!?!

the only two settings are launch disc and settings.

 

are you chippped or softmodded?

 

softmodded,


the M$ dash has been wiped, i only have evo x now

 

i just found out if i put a audio cd in the xbox it boots to the evo x dash, then to the M$ dash, does that help?

 

FTP into the C folder and tell me what files are in there..after that i will tell you what you need to do...
