good news i got the ms dashboard to work but one problem from my understanding you press the eject button to turn it on which then has it start in vga mod, but you have to enable the hd settings in the ms dashboard after but it still see my crt screen as a regular tv. i'm using the innovations vgabox to connect it to my crt monitor. is that the fault or i'am missing something?

Do you have a PAL XBOX?

Your XBOX will need to be in NTSC mode for my VGA softmod to work.

Also, does that adapter convert component to VGA already, without software? If so, then you might not even need to use my VGA softmod, all you might have to do is make sure your XBOX is in NTSC mode.

no i have a NTSC box, and i think the adapter changes the signal automatically but i will check.

[AucardThe3rd]

its ntsc but i think that my adapter i only converts the signal as if the connect was standard tv connection, maybe i should mod some hd xbox cables to vga.

[FrostyTheSnowman]

I would try using an XBOX HD Pack with an RCA-to-VGA adapter, and see if that works.  

[FrostyTheSnowman]

You shouldn't see anything on the disc if it is in your PC, because it has the XBOX DVD filesystem, which PCs cannot read.

Have you tried booting it in your XBOX?

[alucard_xs]

well is there a legal way to download the iso ?

I connect my xbox directly to my pc i don't use a router to connect them, and windows does not accept 0.0.0.0 as a vaild address. i ftp into it using smart ftp client, and i have to Ethernet ports on on my linkisy card and the one built into the motherboard (thats where i do my regular xbox ftp work)

How did you solve this problem? I’m having the same problem with the xbox at ip 0.0.0.0

Change the network settings to Static. Configure your PC's IP address to the same subnet: 192.168.0.2.

Hello Frosty,

I too am from different country, and i hope you can help as i am having difficult with this VGA mod of yours truly.

First off many taps on the back for your efforts, this thing u have done is AMAZING, im saying this because i bought 2 of those X2VGA things, and this virtually would have saved me lots of money, money i allready spent, so my great gratitude for your efforts indeed.

OK, here's the story:
-I had the xbox set up with your pbl metoo loader, and seeing all this green screen stuff and 100 percent figures give my attention to this totally to try for myself.
-I ran in2 same problems as SUCHT, this user didnt get it work because of wrong switch with enigma.

This is what i did:
-boot with SC and proceed to softmod menu(krayzie1.1), this give me access to the files on HD virgin-style.
-Then i put the softmod pack up there with ftp(could i copy those 2 the disc you made and copy them from there to hd for faster workings?),the C on C and E folder on E drive( i wiped it all)
-so far so good, so i turn of as per the sayings from your nfo, but wether i boot with eject or pwer button i always get the error screen for service the microsoft support.
-after build from scratch in xboxhdm i try again, this time after complete softmod, i boot your rescue disc, i ftp enigmah app and run it , and it says the xbox is ntsc mode.
-Now i return to your disc, and from there i wipe everything using dvd2xbox explorer.
-I ftp the softmod to c and e, and i turn off xbox, and still i get service error (12 or 13 i think).
-Now i again unlock my hd in the PC with xboxhdm i made, and make from srcatch again the xbox hd.
-This time i just boot into the MSdasboard and in settings i can see the highdef enabled  (all the modes).
-So again i think my pal xbox is certainly the NTSC machine now?
- i used a component cable with vga2rca plugs for least hassle-free workings.

I dont know what else to do, i have been softmodding for long time, i have 4 xboxes and 3 of them is focus/conexant, i want to really have LAN-party on the vga monitors(1 my room,1 down and 1other room) with your amazing VGA softmod.

The files on C are just xboxdash.exe and the fonts folder, i am feeling i am missing some stuff there, can the xbox boot just from these files?Is there meant to be a pointer to the e:dasboard?

Do i start some xbe on there after i have ftp the files using your rescue disc?

My understanding is this:
-just get the files there on the hd real C and E and for pal user convert pal>ntsc and just reboot and it should work right?

I have 1.1 xbox converted to NTSC with Enigmah videomode switcher, when i check with your disc in evox info it shows also the north american system too....

kernel is 5101  
dash is 5960
the above is not offending for the softmod not to work right?

Please Frosty, or anyone else as learned, advise me as to what i must do for to make these things work, so my life can be ended in this torment i am having, not being able to work it...

Many thanks in advance, hope no1 fell asleep  reading this, as i was loudly crying  while typeing this up, my keyboard was like the famous Falls from the Niagara, the keys is sqeecky clean

Hi all

I'm just having the same problem. I have a v1.4 xbox, in NTSC mode and HD enabled, with a frozen cable from divineo, and I installed the dual-boot vga softmod because I was having some problems with the colours. I did it by using xboxhdm, not by ftp (should be the same... shouldn't it??), and it just starts with an error 13 or 14. I copied back the old softmod and everything is ok again, but with wrong colors, of course... Any idea? Maybe some missing file?

TIA

[Zebedee Rocks]

Hi, So I was able to install the VGA softmod, got it working and everything. However when I boot Unleashx (not my primary dash, just something I keep for various uses) I get the 'green screen'. another problem is when I try to boot the Linux distro "XDSL" i am unable to, my led just flashes orange and then shuts the machine down.
I'm using a v1.0, kernel 4034, and XBMC.  Also I use a samsung 19" LCD monitor and Frozen cable from divineo.

Thanks
Zeb

Hey Frosty,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for your rescue disk. I have a soft-modded (ndure) xbox and had upgraded my version of XBMC. I edited the dashboard shortcut but I pointed it at the wrong file which put my xbox in eternal booting loop, never getting past the green xbox logo before restarting.

I thought I was in for hours of pain. I was going to have to take out the hard drive and hook it up to a usb enclosure and find all my old xbox hdm tools and track down the eeprom key and hope I could get into it to fix it....but after quickly coming across your disk, I had it burnt and in the xbox. Honestly I didn't have much hope that it was going to work, but when I saw that ring go red and then you startup screen come on I was pretty f%$#&^ happy. After a quick ftp and edit of the dash.cfg to point in the right place all was sweet and my xbox was working again.

So, thank you again for this awesome tool which saved me potentially hours of stuffing around. Love your work!!

Cheers

A double post, I know, but I found this thread after my fist post and wanted to spread the love

I just wanted to throw some thanks Frosty's way for making a disc that rescued me from an otherwise borked Xbox.

I was in the middle of upgrading my XBMC installation, by FTP'ing over the new files (I was in Evolution so I wasn't running XBMC) when my FTP client (Filezilla) blew up and the transfer failed, whilst transferring the main .xbe file!! Argh, as I have XBMC as my default dashboard, this was NOT good news - rebooting would lead to the Green Logo followed by a blank screen.

After pishing around for an age trying to mount the Xbox hard drive in Linux (no go for me) I came across a post mentioning Frosty's Rescue DVD, I burnt it and BAM, it works.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, I was able to re-FTP my files over and it now all works like a treat again.

So, props to you for making a truly awesome tool and to those who dissed it, you clearly know nothing, since it rescued my Xbox from death.

Good day,

I am new to this forum, but i am kind of desperatly looking for help here.

I am in the possesion of a modded xbox ( duoX2 chip) with working bioses.
So when i power up the xbox i do get a blue X logo, with underneath it saying Xecuter2

Then when i try to boot with the rescue disk, the led lights turn red as they are supposed to do.
But then the xbox simply reboots. in a continuous loop.

i do have 1 additional point here: I do have a new fresh 120 gb harddrive in this xbox with NOTHING on it yet. The reason i tried this resque disk is because none of the autoinstallers has worked for me so far.

I have burned all of these on CD-RW DVD-R and DVD+R. My philips dvd drive does make some sounds, but then simply reboots again for god knows what reason.

IF there is anyone that can help, please do, because i have litteraly tried 8 brands of DVD, all burned in different modes, i even hooked up another DVD drive to my xbox, and im just getting desperate...

Tnx in advance
