Hi there I have inadvertantly nuked a PAL Xbox (with modchip installed) by stupidly hitting the download button in Splinter Cell. From reading through all the posts it appears that there is a way of fixing it - i.e. restore the original PAL XBOX files to the C: drive.... I have a PAL c: image - thanks to newsgroups - but do not have a clue how to go about resolving this............I only use the mod for game backups and therefore have not used much homebrew.... Can someone please tell me what software I need and how I go about getting this sorted out..........thanks very much....... P.S If possible I'd like to avoid a PC network connection and resolve all from CDRW or DVD-R THANKS Again

Hey Caml, this is what I did. I had evox on my hard disk, so I burned a dvdr of the new Evox with all of the bios, skins etc (it's 4.7 gig so you can even have boxplorer and the whole c: backup on there). I left the evox dash on there, just changed the name, and reinstalled msdash (renaming it the xboxdash.xbe). So when the xbox boots it goes to the original dash, bit scared of nuking it by accident. Then when i want to back up a game, the evox dvdr is used and I can ftp. The new version of evox lets you open the tray without it resetting.

You can even leave the apps on the xbox harddisk and the menu.ini on the dvdr will load the appz up fine. Just can't have evox dash (unless other bios are used). Also make sure that the menu.ini has the correct ip address otherwise it won't connect to your PC. (I also ran the evox DVD in media player b6, to make sure that it was working.)

I just dragged the menu.ini onto the dvdr. Hope this helps.

And thanks opjose, thought that was the case. I read the other previous posts more carefully and it made more sense.

Thanks for that info. it looks like it can be done....however....the PAL image I have is corrupt so the next big question is ..........does anyone know where or have a PAL image that they can get to me ..........Have requested on newsgroups but no luck as yet...........!!!!!!

If possible I intend to make a Evo/PAL and Evo/NTSC boot disk that automatically formats the C: drive and restore to 'non-live' state and then post these so everyone else has an easy fix if needed....

Thanks in Advance

                                    Menu.ini is used by the older Evolution-X 1.8.4xx.

Upgrade to 1.8.2xxx which uses evox.ini instead.

I've got the MS Dashboard link problem to. Opjose said to copy back my entire C:\  from a backup copy that wasnt affected by xbox live
I did that and the evox link to msdashboard still doesnt work.

Do i have to actually delete the C:\ first and then copy it back over? cause it seems risky. BTW my backup copy of C:\, i just went to flashfxp, selected C:\ and copied it over to my PC. I cant see this xboxdash.028 whatever numbers folder in my backup copy or on my xbox's C:\

ps. if i did delete C:\, then copied my backup copy of it with flashfxp, would it work?

btw i have a PAL xbox with enigmah x final.

mtgplayer2k, so your original msxboxdash wasnt working before, so you overwrited the evox xboxdash with the backup copy of the MS xboxdash? So it wasnt working before, and after doing that it does?

                                    I wrote this for the NTSC Xboxes.

PAL Xboxes have even bigger trouble!

Yeah delete everything and restore from your backup and let us know how it went.

Hopefully you don't have a serial eeprom problem.

You may also need to restore E:\ but I sorta doubt it.

[thechosenone]

yeah I have an enigmah chip and want to upgrade to a better bios, but I dont think I have the skill to install the disable switch. What I wanted to know is, what effect does xbox live have on a permanently flashed bios?

[ranciddc]

ok i have a similar problem. Here are my details. I have a ntsc unit..grabbed unreal the first day it was available updated the dash board and didnt really check out the dashboard until today to find its not working. I have enigmah installed and no evox or anything. When i boot up my xbox it fails to load the dashboard it just freezes while loading it. Originals and backups work fine but i just cant get to the dashboard. I tried using whacked to update xbox live but it didnt do anything. From reading this thread it appears i need to find a backup of the c:\ and over write mine correct? do i need to find someone with the same kernel? and what utils can i use to do this? i have downloaded boxexplorer and am able to see the contents of my xbox hard drive not sure if i can burn the backup of the c:\ to the cdrw with boxexplorer on it and copy it over. any info would be appreciated thanks!!

[{XBX}FrankDawg]

search before you write.............just get a backup of the c drive and put it in your xbox then get whacked and update the dash then you are set

[ranciddc]

so i can just get a copy of my friends c:\ it doesnt matter the kernel or anything?
