just use the files from uxe-complete, this is a full modded C drive.

you cannot build a new hard drive without a copy of your eeprom.

Use xboxhdm to install the exploit, works faster then any gamesave installer IMHO.
That way u can erase all data on it (or just the stuff on C, preserving the gamesave exploit).

OK I managed to load my C and E drives back on.  So now I can finally load my msdash.   But where do I go from here?

btw, there's NO WAY to fix this without opening up the box? 

(The non-NTSC-J version of MA was the way to do that eh.)

[eh.]

(Now that you've UXE'd it, revert the box's eeprom to Region 2 if you want the NTSC-J MA to boot on it eh.)

Is ConfigMagic the recommended util to do this?

[krayzie]

to change the region with configmagic (by memory)

-unlock hd
-edit eeprom on the fly
-change region number
-update eeprom
-load eeprom
-lock hd

avoid turning the xbox off.

I was talking about my OTHER goal (to be able to play Xbox Live by coldbooting)

Blackwar's installer seemed to be easiest, but I don't have a STOCK C: per se... I can access the msdash by a via the menu option in Evo dash.

So either I restore my xbox completely to stock (which I haven't figured out so far), or manually install and upgrade apps to achieve my goal...

[triggernum5]

If you already have your account setup you don't even need a stock C to coldboot for live..  Thats the whole concept of coldbooting..

[DaddyJ]

heh, do you know how to cold boot?

@Kai920: you've been doing remarkably well - your situation is rare as is your desire to be part of the solution.  Also, the patience you have is amazing, which is good as I suspect it's about to be stretched even further...

Based on this thread and your subsequent posts it seems that, in addition to setting the region, you're also going to need to establish the (real C) retail dashboard and register for Live!  Consequently, my recommendation is:

(!) make sure you have a good backup of at least your shadowC and eeprom.bin on your PC
...
(i) set your region (to 2) so you can cold-boot your NTSC-J MA
(ii) install a simple MA gamesave exploit (which wouldn't use C at all)
(iii) confirm that the MA exploit works!
(iv) ftp the current (real) C to your PC
... hmm, I think that's all the necessary prep! ...
(v) replace the (real) C content with the entire shadowC dashboard (PC backup)
(vi) reboot and check that the Live tab (online dashboard) works, letting it update if it needs to
(vii) cold-boot TopSpin, register for live and enjoy
... when enclined ...
(viii) cold-boot the MA exploit (and backup C to yor PC if live updated it)
(ix) re/install the/a UXE based exploit and confirm it works
(x) cold-boot TopSpin for live and confirm that it can still connect

Hopefully others will notice any mistakes I may have made and post accordingly eh...

I think he can't edit cuz maybe his nkpatcher is set to virtual eeprom but there is no eeprom file which results in a read only eeprom.
