**WARNING**
This will work with any version, but pre 1.6 should use configmagic and a pre 1.6 eeprom.
I take no resposibility if you xbox becomes a very expensive paperweight. A modchip with a backed up eeprom is reccomended.
This is nothing more than a compilation of information found in various places, combined with very little that i had to figure out myself. I am not the first person to succesfully do this, but i believe that I am the 5th published person who has, so I know that this works. Please, before beginning, read all the way through to gain a full understanding of the procedures.
edit:several people have reported that this tutorial will work after it was posted. THanks for all your help goes to the guinea pigs out there who risked a $150 investment, often more, all based on my word. You are in our hearts and minds.
END WARNING
If done correctly, this should take 30mins, including downloading time.
To begin:
Tools you will need:
- Crossover cat-5 Cable
(cant do this through a router, at least I couldnt find a way, because ltools sets a static ip to 192.168.0.3)
- An xbox app w/ ftp capabilities...ltools provided ftp wont work as it is read-only.
(I will use evox for this tutorial, it is what I used.)
- Latest release of ltools, found in the usual places.
(Check the x-s tuts for more info)
edit:I just remembered how hard this was to find. YES, it is in the single usual place, but it is considered a standalone OS, if that helps.
- An unbanned 1.6 eeprom
(.bin, 1 kbyte)
edit:YES IT MUST BE A 1.6 EEPROM, NO AN OLD EEPROM WILL NOT WORK, EVEN IF RIPPED w/ LTOOLS
- Patience
(corny, but true)
******NOT A STEP, BUT UNLOCK YOUR HDD FIRST! I WONT EXPLAIN HOW TO DO THIS HERE, BUT DO IT!
1.connect crossover cable to your computer's ethernet port, and change the settings on that connection manually to 192.168.0.1, leave the rest (except subnet) blank
(On a windows PC, right click the connection and choose properties. Select tcp/ip, and choose properties.)
2.boot up evox and connect via ftp. upload your .bin file, something easy to remember(eeprom.bin)
3.download ltools and upload the entire folder to your e drive, as it looks it should go. navigate to the default.xbe and make note of the directory you are in. make a link to it in your evox.ini file.
4.on your xbox, select your link to ltools, select run mini-linux, and your screen goes numb. you are blind. walk away.
5.back at your computer, connect to your xbox via telnet on 192.168.0.3. login as "root" with password "xbox"
6.type in the following:
| CODE | | xtool -a -f eeprom.bin |
it had better read it like an eeprom, and list a buch of information, including serial, etc... also make sure that the region is the same. and so on.
7.when you are satisfied that the eeprom is valid, and only then, type
then type y, enter, and wait a little bit. then you are done.
7.2edit:If you want to change the region, do so now by typing
Follow the onscreen instructions, which will allow you to put in a region, then require you to | CODE | | xtool -w new_region.bin |
8.IMPORTANT!!!!!!--before turning off the xbox, type
and make sure it is valid. if it is not, type in
| CODE | | xtool -w eeprom_bkp.bin |
and try again. This will reset your xbox to its old configuration. 9. reboot your xbox, lock the hard drive, and bask in its wonderous xbl glory! let me know what you thought of my first tutorial by posting to this thread or by PM. remember, typos and thngs that are downright wrong will go unfixed unless you say something. thanks.
