    What method should i try to restore my xbox to retail if i have a mod chip in it. The mod chip was put in by a friend, but it moves around too much and powers down. I wanted to restore the xbox to retail then soft mod it to play my backups. Thanks for the help


    Also can i restore it back to retail using slayers 2.7, but my xbox was modded using 2.6

    If you want a fresh MS Dash man, just look at the different torrent web sites, such as torrentz.com or watever, just look around, youl find it, search fresh ms dash on google.ca

    Ok, so I am pretty new to this whole modding thing. I did mod my xbox with UnleashX but made the mistake of letting my brother use it. He must have formatted the drives because everything is gone off of my xbox. All the game savesm the original ms dashboard, and my softmod. What can I do to fix this? I just bought a new Maxtor Diamond Max Plus 160 GB hd that I was gonna install but never got the chance. Can I just format this new drive and install a soft mod using my computer, then put it in my xbox? Help please!!

    Only if you have the original EEPROM, did you FTP it to your PC? My guess is that you didn't.

    I think your only choice here is hotswapping, and without the EEPROM I'm not sure if you can do that. Look on the first page for the link to "TheReturn's" hotswap thread and ask in that thread.

    Ok, so here is my situation. When I power on my xbox, it freezes at the logo screen. I can play games or movies but have to load the disk and then restart the box to get the disk to load. Everything else is fine with the xbox just no ms dashboard. Is there some way I could create a disk with the original ms dash and simply load the cd and then reboot to run the cd?

    Unless you can launch backups, then no. If you still have softmod game saves, then simply launch the trigger game and re-install the softmod and MS dash, otherwise your best bet is a modchip. How did you delete the MS dash..?

    Well, Here is my problem. My MS Dash works and My Unleashed X Dash works.....Only problem is Live doesn't work. I've been trying to unlock My x-box using Config Magix... But my version is 1.3 not 1.0 or 1.1, I'm just trying to uninstall all the mods and go back to default settings. I have a backed up eeprom.bin but I cannot figure out how to fix it.

    Can you still play games? (I'm assuming you softmodded) If you can, download and put in AID3.1 (or 4.0, but I think it's a little buggy, I don't remember anymore), and then install your MSDASH.

    hello all,i seem to be having the same problem as everyone else...during the softmod process i got a batch process error and have since been unable to restore my system to the original dashboard.

    I can still play games and i am able to get to the softmod screen using Splinter Cell but i cant set up an ftp,so ive burnt the Ms dashboard files to a data dvd but how exactly do i put the disk in without the xbox resetting ?as this is what happens everytime.

    Any help would be great
    Cheers.
