====As a last attempt we waited for the Xbox to try and Load the M$ Dashboard so it could reset the clock, at that moment we unplugged the IDE cable to do a HotSwap... and It WORKED!!... the Xbox had unlocked the HD for a split second.=== i don't understand this, are you saying that you power on XBOX and when clock looping  you unplugged the IDE Cable? and then plug another IDE from working XBOX?

thats hot-swapping. The plan usually is to get it to boot to the dashboard or a game so the xbox can unlock the hard drive.

after unlocked, you have to unplug the ide cable. Dont' unplug the hard drive's power cable, or it will lock again.

Then plug an ide cable from your computer to the xbox's hdd and turn on your pc (or just hit refresh in the device manager if you are like me). If windows detects the hard drive, then you've successfully hot swapped your xbox hard drive

and then you go on to do like fatxplorer and upload your exploit etc

k bye

What about 5101, what can be done with that kernel. I am trying to get the audio exploit working and I just want to double check that its possible on my K version.

after reading many (not so many) thread within this forum, Kernal version 5*** above will not work with current font exploit method. CMIIW.

About hotswapping:

The hard drive is unlocked from the moment th MS logo appears under the big X logo.  The dashboard is on the hard drive, and the hard drive has to be unlocked to access it.  When it's looping, the dashboard IS loading, but it's just basically crashing.

About kernels:

That's not true.  The font and audio exploits work on kernel 5101, but you have to have dash 4920.  Here's what we know about 5xxx kernels:

- 5530 and above will not allow you to use PBL to load a BIOS
- 5713 and above will not allow you to downgrade the dash to 4920

i was wrong! sorry.

my other Q:
- 5530 and above will not allow you to use PBL to load a BIOS
- 5713 and above will not allow you to downgrade the dash to 4920

5713 is above 5530, does this mean we can't use PBL to load bios, with 5713??
may i conclude that i have to avoid buying xbox with kernel 5530 and above, if i want to do exploit with it???

This is the system info for my xbox:

K: 1.00.4034.01
D: 1.00.5659.03

It is possible to use The PBL exploit?

Thanks

Yep.  You won't be able to run PBL on 5713.

Edit: I've added warnings about 5713 to the checklist now.  Thanks.

Mostly.  You can exploit 5530, but you can't run PBL.  You'd be able to run games/apps if you you signed them all with xbedump.  However, you wouldn't be able to upgrade the hard drive.

Yes, you can run any dashboard exploit, and you can run PBL.  To run an exploit, be sure to downgrade to dash 4920 first.

how do you downgrade to dash 4920?

To do that, you can follow these instructions:

This is for a virgin C: drive.  If you have other files on C:, then you'll have to know what they are and keep them where they are (don't delete them in step 4, or back them up and then replace them).

To get access to the C: drive, either use a gamesave exploit to run EvoX and FTP, or hotswap the Xbox drive.

1. Download Slayer's EvoX Auto-Installer 2.5 ISO (from IRC).
2. Use an Xbox ISO program like Craxtion (http://www.craxtion.com/) to extract the ISO to a known location on your hard drive.
3. Back up your entire Xbox C: partition.
4. Delete everything on the C: partition.  If you're using FTP, do NOT reboot or turn off the Xbox before completing the next step.
5. Go to your extracted ISO files and copy everything in system\c\all to the C: drive.
6. Reboot and confirm that you now have a working copy of Dashboard 4920 (System Info).  Do NOT skip this step and start installing exploits right away.
7. Now you can go and install any exploits you want.

Thanks a lot I'll try it tonight when I get home.

Thanks !

I wish I could code like that.

I would like to see this post "Re-Pinned" if possible?

Im sure MANY people would agree its a very usefull thread and untill the Double Dash is in a workable state for everyone we need this information on the fist page.

I personally find it very usefull when remembering kernal and dash versions that work with PBL etc.

Does anyone else agree?
