Upgrading HD on Softmodded Xbox Tutorial

I really thought I had confirmed before I bought but it mustn't be.

What can I do now? anything?

I have access to another Xbox that has an actual chip soldered to it if thats of any use?

please, please help
cheers

 

An unlockable drive is only usable in chipped xboxes. Sorry

 

yup have to get a mod chip

 

ahhhhh

Ok I have put the "unlockable" HDD in my chipped one and the one out of that is lockable according to the list here
http://xboxdrives.x-pec.com/?p=list&v_modelnum=IC35L080AVVA07

I will have to redo everything, and copy everything from one drive to the other, 60Gb worth!?!?

What exactly is the lockable bit? why do some do and some dont? what are the factors that llow lockable drives?

cheers

 

the reason that you got to lock it. is well if you want to run the m$ dash you need to have it that way in order to use it. 2 its also for xbl. my reason is so someone cant take my hd and stick it into there xbox or delete my stuff in there.

if you are gonna do a redo you should back your files up like i do n check out avalaunch they got a program u might like for m$ games.

 

Dont use XB line so not bothered about that. But the 2nd Xbox is only softmodded so want to use this "unlockable" drive in there is possible?

Think I'll have to FTP across all the files!! it'll take ages!

cheers

 

yup get config magic and all the other programs you need in order to do it

make sure you check this page out man it talks about wut i was saying on avalaunch

 

oh if you need to know how to do that with your hard drive refer to the first post of this topic they made info on wut you need done

 

eventually got it done. I followed another tip on these forums, I unplugged the power to the HDD until the linux ISO had booted and voila it worked!!??

havent a clue why but its working

cheers

 

how do you get the hdd password and eeprom so you can softmod an xbox? I'm trying to softmod my friends inorder to upgrade the hdd, but i can't unlockit.

 

use config magic you can get it if you have avalaunch installed on your xbox

 

the xbox hasn't been softmodded yet
and i can't figure out how to softmod his...i did mine by a boot cd my other friend gave me and the hdd in my computer case. but i lost that and now i can't figure out how to unlock it to softmod it using ndure and xboxhdm.

 

ok one check out my profile dude and 2 wut game do u want to use to softmod it

 

the softmod I'm using basically has me take the powered down hdd out of my xbox and boot my computer off of xboxhdm cd
but the first step is to unlock it. and that is the only really hard step right now
obviously

 

There are several successful methods to achieve a softmodded xbox, I would suggest you research softmodding before attempting to upgrade the HD in an xbox as this guide assumes a previously softmodded xbox. Other threads on this forum detail several ways to softmod an xbox system.

 

yeah pretty much do the hard way or do the way i said b4 this comment just cause im a new guy dont mean you have to write a 100000 stupid comments to know what your talking about

 

ive read about 50 tut's all assume that you have the hdd password or eeprom.bin. the other ones i got lucky and had my friends pre mad boot disk then all i had to do was have some common sense, but now i don't know how to unlock the hdd...after that upgrading and softmodding is a singe

 

When I modded my xbox for the first time, I was clueless. I understand your frustration. That said, you do not need the hd password or the eeprom.bin to softmod an xbox. This thread lists one method, there are many more.

As this particular thread deals with upgrading the drives in a previously modded xbox, I'm not going to spell out how to get your xbox modded. I'd suggest further research into the subject on your part to find the solution that suits your needs best.

 

you just need to find the right softmod that suits your needs i got it check my profile for further details myspace me and ill give it up. i cant b more plain then that dude.. im out of this one now
