Keep Getting Error 21...
« on: November 29, 2004, 09:54:00 PM »


I've tried every gamesave hack but every time I load them I go to the Error 21 screen.  I've tried signing the dufault file and tried the old Kernal.   What am I doing wrong?  I have Kernal 4034 and daash 5960 and am quite sure I have ver 1.0 (fan on gpu and conexant chip).  Also it was made in mexico if that matters.  Do I have to solder the motherboard before any of these work?  I was under the impression that I did not need to do that.  Please help.  Thank you!

Which gamesave hack are you using? lTools, or EvoX? And no soldering is necessary.

Only if you want to flash the TSOP.

Iv'e tried Itools  (vatious versions found at the usaul places) , MA w/ evox installer and SC w/ evox installer.  I'm at my wits end on this.  I've got the nagging feeling I'm doing something wrong ands its probably so simple I can't see it.  Or possibly my version 1.0 with kernal 4034 and dash 5960 is a horrible combination for gamesave hacks... I don't know.  Everything gives me the same Error 21 when I try to load the hack and its irrating me.  I'm using a XBox 8 meg mem card and a homebrew usb dongle along with action reply software which seems to work fine for everyone else.

PS.   thanks for the info about the soldering..

make sure you try to run the save of the hd and not straight of the mem card. Also some AR mem cards can corrupt saves making you recieve an error 21.

the dash version has nothing to do with gamesave exploits. You might be confused with old font hacks that required the 4920 dash.

Wel i dunno why the guy sent me 4920 dash, but that's what he sent, and then it worked...

Before that i had 5960 on the box and it would go to the itools menu and then just skip right over it...you couldn't select run mini linux...

Put the 4920 on there, and it worked...

So what does that mean, did something else get changed with the dash swap?

Maybe the update.xbe was put on there.

Also too many things could mean the error 21, what do you do right before you get the error.

Well..  I just just drag and dropped Itools into AR then onto a mem card and copied that to my XB Hard drive.  I figured that the Error 21 is a wide ranging generic error,  which puts me in a bind.  I think I might try downgrading my dash..  I've tried signing the update file and I've tried using a different lunixboot.cfg file as indicated for old kernals.  thank you for all your suggestions.

When I was first using splinter cell itools exploit, after the matrix screen would boot up and the itools screen came up, all it said was splinter cell.  Now when I pressed A, I got an error 21.  So the next time I pressed B, and voila, I was able to install the ude.  Make sure you press B instead of A after the matrix/mxm screen loads up.
