You get the error when your modchip is off because your HD is not locked. The original BIOS wants a locked HD.

Since you can't have xboxdash.xbe as EvolutionX, then its best to have MS dash be xboxdash.xbe and run EvolutionX off a CDRW

would i encounter any problems in having evox as my dash as opposed to msdash? what would happen if i did use evox as my dash instead of the original one? thanks again.

Well, if your xboxdash.xbe is the EvolutionX dash, not the MS dash, when your modchip is switched off, your Xbox will not boot properly because it wants xboxdash.xbe to be the MS dash.

okay shanafan...am i completely fucked now? i went into configmagic and edited my eeprom. i went to unlock hd, load .bin from file, update eeprom, load eeprom, and locked my hd. then i went and switched off my mod chip. i booted to nhl 2k3 and went to the network sign in. i got the xbox was unable to connect to live message. i tried it with a few other games, to no avail. now since i still have the evoxdash on my xbox, i turned off my chip again and booted to the xbox live disc. i tried moto gp, still unable to connect to live. then i went to the troubleshooting menu...on the xbox live dash. still with the chip off, it did the connection test. cables connected, ip configured, dns resolved, xbox live not found. wtf? did i do something wrong? i know that the eeprom that i used was unbanned. it has never even been used on live yet. here are my xyz numbers:
x: 0000 - f001
y: 00c2 - 03c0
z: 0000 - 0000
the ul and dl both show 0 kb, and the l is 0ms...same with the p.
did i do something wrong? i know when i first tried to update the eeprom, i had written the location of the .bin in the wrong place. i went back and edited it to point to the e partition on my xbox hd. next i went and loaded configmagic, and updated it to the unbanned eeprom. what did i do wrong? please help me...i'm screwed if this eeprom update didn't work. i mean, is this eeprom i just tried to update now banned? thanks again shanafan.

Well, if you get "Xbox Live not found", means you are probably banned. Maybe your source of the EEPROM was wrong

JBNinja99 · « **Reply #22 on:** January 12, 2003, 11:03:00 PM »

do you mean maybe i put the eeprom in the wrong place?

here are the steps i did...tell me if i did something wrong:

1) loaded up configmagic from my hd
2) went to unlock hd
3) load eeprom from .bin
4) update eeprom
5) load eeprom
6) lock hd

next i went into nhl 2k3 and went to the network menu and tried to sign in. it gave me the 'couldn't connect menu'. after being frustrated for awhile, i went to the live menu from the 'couldn't connect menu' and it did the connection process. sadly, it connected to all of them but still 'xbox live not found'.
my question is, did i do something wrong in updating this eeprom? or did i unknowingly ban myself again? the eeprom i used was a unbanned eeprom.

thanks, jb.

Seems like you did the right steps, but are you sure your source of the EEPROM was right about it being unbanned?

JBNinja99 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 12, 2003, 11:17:00 PM »

yeah, the guy i got it from has never accessed live on his box. he does have a chip on it, but again, has never used it for live.

did i make a mistake updating my dash to the live dashboard? i went in and removed evoX and put the original ms dash on. then i went and put the xbox live disc in and updated my dash. should i have not done this? i dunno...i'm just pissed. i really thought i was going to be able to get back on live after this.

thanks again though for all your help shanafan.

Updating your dash doesn't matter at all. Your modchip is detected when the actual connection is made to MS. Let me ask you this - when you updated your EEPROM, do you remember if you saw a different S/N than the one before?

JBNinja99 · « **Reply #26 on:** January 16, 2003, 09:05:00 PM »

i'm not exactly sure if i did see a different seriel number or not.

i do have a saved backup of my old eeprom and my old hdkey from backup in evoX. is there a way i could compare the two to see if i did or did not change my eeprom? could i backup my eeprom now with evoX and compare the two?

i mean, how do i know for sure if i did change my eeprom?

and i did access MS tabs...but i did it with the chip off.

thanks so much shanafan.

Alright, so you have your backup EEPROM. Follow the configmagic.ini and set the path for the backup EEPROM. When I mean backup, I mean the old EEPROM.

Run Configmagic and select "Update EEPROM". I THINK it will ask if you wish to update the EEPROM. Say No, but take a look and compare the S/N number of that EEPROM with the current EEPROM on the Xbox. You do that by selecting "Load EEPROM"

well the eeprom is changed. i double checked. i put the .bin eeprom files in notepad and it listed the serial numbers. they are different. am i definately screwed now?

and again, would using configmagic beta 2 matter? i used the original version.

thanks again.

Well....I guess so. Just check back here when exstazi's gives away free EEPROMS

EDIT: The versions don't matter, I used the first version and it worked fine
