yboxdash is not affected.

BTW: You can preven the games from "nuking" your Xbox by removing the UPDATE.XBE file from them.

This way they will not attempt to perform the dashboard update no matter what.

What is very disturbing is that once the damage is done, even replacing the original MSDash doesn't work.

Something else is being changed by this process.

How can you remove the UPDATE.xbe from the games? u cant delete data off of a CD...??

after you transfer the game from the xbox to your computer via FlashFXP open up whatever folder the game is in, there will be the update.xbe file right there. delete that. burn the game.

ok i read alot of this post, and this is what i think is right-
If you have a modchip installed with evox bios on it, and havent messed with your harddrive at all, you can install live just like normal,
but
if you have a modchip with evox bios on there AND evox dashboard you have to reinstall the xbox dash after you install live, and never put that disc in again, or click on 'new account' in any game.
is that right?

I have a modded xbox with the original bios still installed. Does it make any difference if your xbox bios is original but you are using a mod chip to boot? If it does, forget about running games off hard drives and buy a dvd writer instead like i did. I'm scared to try myself until there is more solid info.

Damn....return of the lameness....

anywayz just do this.....Use fancxbox by superfro and get the exvox 2.5 regular bios from the normal places. Run fancxbox on the evox 2.5 bios and tell it to boot from iamlame.xbe instead of ybox.xbe. Then flash your bios with the new one. ez and future proof. oh and dont forget to rename your evox dash xbe to iamlame.xbe.

hey all-

all this info is kinda confusing since i wasn't in the beta... anyhow here's what I have and maybe someone can answer my question...:

I've got an xbox running evo 2.5 bios off a matrix/xoduschip. I moved the hd to an external hd firewire enclosure box (firewire removed, added ide interface so external xbox idc connector connects to firewire idc box connector). Then I added a 5 1/4 hd hot swapable box to fit in the firewire enclosure... works great with 2 60 gigs running evox on the hd (swapable). Now my question is, if I get another hd swapable tray for my orig hd, and set my matrix to mode3, wouldn't this be as if my xbox isn't modded at all allowing me to play xbox live? My orig hd is untouched and perfectly intact...

Thanks.

I don't have live but plan on getting it...anyways I want to start burning all my games xblive compliant. I know I have to delete the update.xbe, but I was looking on some games, and there is also a file that says dashupdate.xbe. My question is do I delete both? as I assume I wouldn't want my dash tampered with.

Umm...Sorry about this lame post after reading all 143 previous posts I found my answer

Cheers,
Ngrey

I have written a turtorial on how to fix Error 21 by essentially removing Xbox Live from your Xbox. You can use a backup of your original C partition or a backup of your C partition with Evolution X installed on it. Note: you do not need a complete image of the partition only a hand full of files from the root directory. I have upped the tutorial to xbox-scene and have posted a link in the xbox live forum. This tutorial is only good of you want to remove Xbox Live from your Xbox.

i had an updatedash.xbe not UPDATE.xbe in UC on my hdd. Is that the same thing, cause I deleted it. It freaked me out cause I go into boxplorer and hit default.xbe to run the game and updatedash.xbe was right next to it. Also, why doesn't M$ or the game developers just make update.xbe run automatically just to fuck us over? And where in the game do u execute update.xbe anyway, I looked on UC and didn't see any update or xboxlive stuff. If I don't ever install xbox live should I be ok with update.xbe or not?
